I have not the parson's comfortable doctrine that every good action has its reward, and every sin is forgiven. My whole religion is this: do every duty, and expect no reward for it, either here or hereafter.

Whoever criticizes others must have something to replace them. Criticism without suggestion is like trying to stop flood with flood and put out fire with fire. It will surely be without worth.

On #8February 1943, 17yo partisan Lepa Radić was hanged by the Germans in Bosnia. Offered her life for names of other fighters, she replied: “I am not a traitor of my people. Those you're asking about will reveal themselves when they succeed in wiping out all you evildoers, to the last man.”

Obesity rates between the US and Europe in 2024.
The US shows higher prevalence, with some states reaching 40%, while Europe's rates are lower, especially in Western Europe and Scandinavia. Perhaps US Americans can take a leaf out of Europe's book and adopt some of their dietary habits.
