Turkish coffee has been called greek coffee(in Greece and Cyprus) ever since the turkish invasion of Cyprus (50 years ago). New generations of greeks probably arent even aware of that(or it is a neat trivia that some might have heard).

Cyrillic was literally byzantine propaganda, an effort by the Eastern Roman Empire(aka Byzantine Empire) to culturally assimilate/approach the slavs, in hopes for them to be friendlier to the Empire. Language and religion were the thing back then(and even today), having a similar language and religion made everyone friendlier.
Diplomacy, espionage, bribery, trading and huge ass walls were the strength of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Dont let Trump watch this
Actually there are greek numerals, which are basically the greek letters(with some weird additions)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals
So you can go up to any number you want.
You might be right, though the ears arent floppy.
It kinda looks like a basenji, with relaxed tail. Their tails are usually curled, but when they relax, it can uncurl.
Maybe it is a basenji mix, hence the uncurled tail and kinda off whitebrown colour.
Be aware that basenjis are not normal dogs, they are more like cats. And also there are a billion stray dogs that need companions, no need to breed extra.
Bullets dont create holes. Once inside, they spin and/or deform, causing a lot more damage than a bullet sized hole. Apparently, when your brain is fucked this much, it is over. Of course it doesnt always work perfectly but more often than not, it does. It is by far the most effective way of killing yourself.
The reason death sentences arent done using guns because aiming and shooting at people is hard and has psychological repercussions for the shooters. Even when executions were done by bullet, you had a lot of shooters so that noone had to bare the killing responsibility.
If you dont know how to hang yourself(it’s actually kinda hard), your death will be extremely painful and it will take a long time. Shooting yourself is one of the most effective, immediate and painless ways of killing yourself.
In case you are wondering, this is swedish for “final station”/“terminal”.
1·1 year agoIs this map made by a turk? Why are half of the greek islands in Aegean Sea grey? Wtf.
It is only using latin letters and it is 1 to 1 for the most part. But it isnt defined somewhere, there are different variations for some letters and the Greek alphabet is slightly different than the Latin one.
For example the letter Greek letter “χ”(similar sound to English “h”) can be written as “x” or “h”. Χ looks like x but sounds like h, so either works.
It is actually a thing, called greeklish. It used to be more common/popular during the earlier days of computing/internet due to limited support of the Greek alphabet. It remained popular even later on and even today but i feel it is getting less popular nowadays.
Google translate supports greeklish, you can select Greek and type greeklish and it will work.
He is literally jewish. So yeah, the nazis would have loved him.
Wasnt he Princess Dianna’s boyfriend?
This isnt a good argument. For Fox News carbon emissions are irrelevant or good or whatever. But since Taylor Swift is saying she cares about the environment and according to her carbon emissions are bad for the environment, it is hypocritical to use a private jet.
The problem Fox News have with Taylor Swift isnt her carbon emissions, it is her hypocrisy.
Not even a day after, the US leaks Greece will get the F-35. As i said, it was all in the same bundle, Sweden joining NATO, Turkish F-16 and Greek F-35.
Though the article says “Athens expects deliveries of the jets to begin in 2027-2028”. If thats the case, then things are even worse than expected for Turkey.
As a Greek i am happy because there was a low but non 0% chance Turkey would invade Greece and grab a few islands but after the West’s strong reaction to Ukraine and now Greece getting F-35, that chance is now much closer to 0%.
No wonder Erdogan visited Greece recently and was so “friendly”. A big change from the older Erdogan threatening Greece “we might come one night” and “our missiles can reach Athens now”.
I guess that was part of the deal, to show that he is no longer threatening Greece in order to get the F-16 and the American engines and other parts for his “Turkish” stealth plane.
Wait till the US announces that they will sell F-35 to Greece. Greece has already submitted a Letter of Request for a Letter of Acceptance for at least 20 F-35(and an option for another 20). And now that Sweden is in NATO, the US might announce the deal(probably alongside the turkish F-16), but i expect Turkey to REEEEEEEEEE.
I think the most likely scenario is that the US will sell F-35 to Greece but will delay the delivery till after 2030, when in theory Turkey will have its own “domestically” designed stealth jet(or so Turkey claims). This way the balance of power wont change too drastically.
Europe used to have lions, especially southern Europe.
I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.
