somehow, amazingly, i have hacked the impulse that makes me mindlessly scroll on my phone. it's not gone but i've paired it with a conscious thought process that goes like, "what's my goal here? i'm looking for entertainment, for information, for something that makes me feel more optimistic and interested in the world i live in..."
and because that kicks in between apps, too, i'm not doomscrolling as much. i'm intentionally seeking out posts or videos or whatever that actually mean something to me. when i'm not satisfied i walk away or pick up a book instead. most subtle yet impactful change i've gone through in years
i did not intentionally set out to change this. i've just been working on my mindset in general. hey, turns out having a good therapist again helps

Everyone's all "i'll fuck your dad" until they realize that means they'd have to fuck someone over 40. and those people are weak.

Dear friends,
I have decided to start a political party eqiuvalent of Monarchisté.cz, but the exact opposite.
*for the uninitiated Monarchisté.cz is the czech political party, whose goal is to reinstate the Habsburg family as a hereditary monarchy. This However, only for the area of the current Czech Republic, without any of the rest of the former empire or even Austria.
The goal my new party is to renew the Czech Confederation along its borders from the years 1620-1621.*
*the only year it existed
Thus reuniting the historical lands of the Czech crown (Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Lusatia/Lausitz/Łužica/Łužyca, and the Palatinate/Oberpfalz/Horní Falc) as Confederal Counties (CCs) and equal partners within a mutually beneficial confederation.
The following is the Party Program I've come up with so far:
• Confederation entails a unified financial system; military; and diplomatic and trade relations, as well as intercompatible educational systems and digitalized beurocracies within each CC.
• The Czech Confederation would take the place of the current Czech Republic on the international stage (its places in the EU and V4 for example).
• Executive power in the Czech Confederation would remain in the hands of a Primeminister and his cabinet. Each CC, having its own political system, would still be forced to call whoever held executive power within it a fun feudal title, like Count or Margrave, instead of Head Minister and such.
• Internationally the Czech Confederation would be represented by a "Winter King", elected by the Counts/Margraves/etc. of each CC. This King, in leau of tradition of the first Winter King, would be forced to abdicate his throne every November. Immediately voting him back into office would be permissable, if the heads of the CCs wished so. (Yes, this is exactly the same role as the curent czech President but with a swaggier title and more ceremony).
• In order to achieve one of the goals of the first Czech Confederation, i.e. prevent Bohemian (bzw. Czech) hegemony within the confederation, while still allowing Prague to be its capital, Prague residents will be stripped of all voting rights, but for the ones in local elections. The only way around this will be for Prague residents to marry into out of Prague families, thus gaining perspective on the world and a non-prague registration allowing them to vote.
• No one (1) official language. All official languages recognized by the CCs will be official languages of the state. This will not only create a massive new translating apparatus and jobs, but also allow for each CC to foster local languages in a new way. The consequences of this:
- i guess moravian is a language now
- since the Silesias currently under the rule of the CZ and of Poland would be united into one CC, it will be left up to them fight about a unified writing system or wtf else they will want to do.
- more than 1 (one) Sorbian gymnasium
- the good people of the Palatinate won't be forced to speak Hochdeutsch anymore. I'm sure this will make them support anexation. Unfortunately, if successful, this might make the rest of current Bavaria so jealous, that they also separate from Germany. If events come to pass in this order, it is inevitable that Bavaria would want to reannex the Palatinate, which could lead to a war lasting generations or to the end of a fun experiment, we shall see.
• I refuse to make Protestantism the official state religion, like the OG Czech Confederation did. However, I 100% will knock down the Mariánský sloup/Mariensäule* on Old Town Square in Prague again.
*built in the 1650s to mark the victory of the Habsburgs and Catholicism over the Czech lands; knocked down in 1918 after the declaration of the independent Czechoslovak state by a very funnily orchestrated crowd, to symbolize freedom from the Habsburgs; rebuilt in 2022 after 30 years of lobbying by the Catholic church as part of a package for the "Revitalisation of the Old Town Square".
I do plan on leaving the pedestal there this time though, because it really is the best place to sit in that entire area.
• INFRASTRUCTURE:
This kind of confederation would require a massive expansion of long distance public transport, and possibly one that actually works. Swiftly realised impactful projects being the key to the success of new states, I plan two key projects to boost my popularity through their quick completion.
Firstly, we shall expand the Brno Airport. Making it the new main Airport of the Czech Confederation, it shall be renamed to Brno Expanded Runway (BER) to honor its humble beginings.
The second required infrastructure project is the long needed tunnel under the Giant Mountains/Krkonoše/Karkonosze/Riesengebirge to connect Bohemia, Lusatia and Silesia. Since the technology and design of tunnels such as these, are based on those of the Mont Blanc tunnel, I propose to czechify a callback to its origins by calling this project Tunel Blanka. I'm sure the speed of the completion of these infrastructure projects will boost the legitimacy of my new state :)
On a more strategic note, I think I have the support of most current residents of the Czech Republic outside of Prague, and can especially mobilize the conservative vote on my no-votes-for-praguers platform. I am similarly convinced I have the support of all sorbians as well as all the silesian members of the polish facebook group "Wypowiedzmy wojnę Czechom i im się poddajmy" (Let's declare war on the czechs and then surrender to them). I am only unsure on the Pfälzer, because they may feel too much loyalty to bavaria at this point.
I also need to infiltrate a german political party, in order to get them to support my plans without knowing, that that's what they're actually doing. This is in order for Germany not to get mad about the whole anexing parts of it part. My roommate said this would be easiest to do with the SPD.
#to quote an iconic reddit comment 'Man kriegt Deutschland aus der Kleinstaaterei aber man kriegt die Kleinstaaterei nicht aus Deutschland'#aka 'you can get Germany out of the urge to form small states but you can't get the urge to form small states out of Germany'#aka 'Deutschland zurück in die Grenzen von 1630' (Germany back to the borders of 1630 (a positive mess of administrative units))#What I'm saying is you can expect to find much support for this#I mean quite frankly when it comes to getting Germans to get along with this plan just tell them they might get rid of Bavaria this way#As for Bavaria I mean I don't think Franconia will care much about the Oberpfalz leaving except to maybe leave Bavaria themselves#Schwaben idk quite frankly I don't know how they feel about Bavaria as a concept#and well to Oberbayern they are expandable nobody can understand them anyways also Oberbayern do consider themselves the one true Bayern#the opinion of Niederbayern doesn't matter (but I guess if anyone would have a problem with this perfect plan it would be them)#oh also this is the most written by a person living in Berlin post I've ever layed my eyes on#but yes I think this is a good idea#question is what would saxony and Brandenburg have to say about the loss of Lusatia#I think for saxony it's like fine. Like not to be disrespectful or anything but like Bauzen/Budyšin#or Hoyerswerda/Wojerecy have the greatest reputation politics wise#much to the suffering of amongst others the Sorbian population of the area#and this is in Brandenburg but upon mentioning he's from Cottbus/Chóśebuz a friend of mine once got asked 'Sorbe oder Nazi'#(Sorbian or Nazi?)#Not that saxony doesn't have a Nazi problem outside of these areas (oh hi Chemnitz)#but other than that there's a lot of saxony that is interesting and not Lusatia and it's like. probably ok idk#Brandenburg on the other hand doesn't really have much else going for them so they might not be too happy about that but I'm sure you could#strike up a deal with them#anyone outside of these regions likely only knows Lusatia exists at all BC they've been on holiday there so just tell them they can still go#and it'll be fine#the opinion of people in Berlin does not matter nor should it ever unless it's about Deutsche Wohnen enteignen#(sorry op)#so yeah this seems like the perfect plan#maybe one could even open a second department for sorabistics in like. a place where sorbian is a local minority language#I mean many sorbian speakers do live in Leipzig but this does also seem like these two might be connected#oh as for the pfälzer themselves idk I think it's more of a franconia type of situation so it's probably fine.#also I always thought the Pfalz relevant for this one was a different one

When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

in guarani there's a standard greeting that literally translates to "are you happy" (ndevy'apa) and the natural reply is "i'm happy" (avy'a) and as americans learning the language we were so distressed like "but what if we're not happy....." and our teachers were like "that's so not the fucking point"
we kept trying to think of any other way to reply but our teachers kept trying to get it into our brains that it's an idiomatic greeting, it literally is not the time or place to traumadump, and as usamerican english speakers we are not some special exception for saying "what's up" with the reply being "not much" instead of "the ceiling"
but anyway while i was working in paraguay -- the country with the largest population of guarani speakers -- i got sent an article by some friends back home like "look! they're saying that paraguay is the happiest country in the world!"
and the methodology was "we went around and asked paraguayans if they're happy and recorded their responses" and i was like. oh. of course you did. and of course you got a 100% positive response rate.
