Well, your solution works. But if you want to subdivide the season into neat and regular weeks, it’s not possible. So the next best thing is subdividing the year into weeks while disregarding the seasons.

Don’t subdivide the 73-day seasons.

Instead, subdivide the year into 73 5-day weeks.

A year made up of 5 seasons and 73 weeks.

Which is also why I hate that our calendar starts at year 1.

Not if you divide by 5. It gets you 73 days each.

Some parts of Japan, such as Hokkaido, can be considered to be colonized as its native people are the Ainus, not the Yamato people (the Japanese ethnicity).

The Yamato themselves didn’t didn’t exist for 40’000 years. It was during the 4th century BC to the 7th century CE that their main ancestors, the Yayoi and the Toraijin, migrated to Japan and displacd the Joumon people to the North. The latter had been in Japan for a much longer time.

There was a Welsh tourist in the US who was doing household chores to stay in people’s houses, and she was being detained because she should be on a working visa, and wanted to leave but they wouldn’t let her. She wasn’t taken while trying to leave, she was prevented from doing so. Which I think is quite fucked up as well.

The US is the one that has all the cards but it’s the EU that’s unfair? How does that work?

Sorry, I misread your comment.

I’ve never tried this.

I love so many things about Rise of Nations that it wouldn’t fit in a Lemmy post.

Also, they have excellent music.

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

It was Rise of Nations for me.

Thank you for your insightful reply.

I also found this: https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/trumps-politicization-of-the-u-s-marshals-service-is-a-threat-to-our-democracy/

It says that one of the primary functions of the US Marshals Service is to carry out judicial orders, but it reports to the president. This looks like a flaw to me.

Sorry, I’m a foreigner and I don’t understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

It’s a gnome foot though.

Nice. In what year(s) did you have your first computer?

I understood the post you are replying to as saying “what will AfD voters do when their party is banned?”.

In the case of the Nazis, we don’t know because their party was never banned. We don’t know what would have happened if the Nazi party had been banned.

I would be interested to know if we have historical cases of far-right parties that could have won the elections but were banned before they had the chance.

A common threat forces people together.

‘Continuity’ is a very vague and subjective concept.

I agree.

I mean, they used the title of Kayser-i-Rum to justify a claim to Italy and Western Europe as a whole, and went in big on Classical antiquity as legitimization for their dynasty for the first ~100 years after Istanbul was taken.

Interesting, I didn’t know.

Thank you for your perspective and the context.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear on a crucial point. There was continuity. While the other states that we call “successor states” were founded by foreigners who conquered or were granted parts of the Roman Empire and who adopted some elements of Roman culture, the “Byzantine Empire” was just a division of the Roman Empire that lived on after the barbarian invasions. That part had been speaking Greek since the beginning, and was already Christan by then, just like the Western half.

For the Eastern Roman Empire, there was no title to take, because they already had the Roman title. For the Turks, maybe, I’d like to know why you think so. I don’t know enough. My initial assumption would be that they took it simply because they conquered the Romans, and their territory, and wanted to give their rule legitimacy before the Roman people.
