the reason is in the 2017 document jackson kernion (who blew the whistle to buzzfeed) links to about the settlement in the link i gave.

j.d. vance never knew the cold war, he was born in 1984.. it has a certain dark aesthetic to it, as do his Xeets... a bit surreal and alienating as well - like civilization is just a thin layer

why couldn't it be drones? the NYT article says:
C) German intelligence believe some flights originated from ships in the Baltic Sea.
B) The u. objects are flying over strategic important locations
A) WirtschaftsWoche writes some of the drones were manufactured in Iran

Why the refusal of Hungary & Slovakia is a big deal. Karim Amghar, teacher Rotterdam, talks in trouw 25-05-29 about how exclusion is normalizing in public discourse. Hope lies in vocational education where diverse youth meet. Protect it by fostering humanity, dialogue and recognition in schools

@0x0.boo the above explains 1 of the aforementioned 2 reasons why i was obtuse in the superwrite solution to your decode challenge. i understood why you wanted the complete output, but after the covid19 polarisation i refuse.
the other is a future ai fingerprinting & matching identity and sentiment

ah, noticed others were 1st movers :-/
independently using obvious hex repeat
easy & old school
didn't want to write publicly for 2 reasons, so i'm obtuse:
--
rv_superwrite_shorthand = "pmrT n ksM tah gnckf i"
18.times do 
puts rv_superwrite_shorthand.reverse
end
--
superwrite enc/dec yet to write

No, the EU wasn't formed to take advantage of the US... yet another historical revisionism... and for what - threatening the EU into submission?
I am curious how this will unfold.
I don't drink much if any alcohol, but I feel for the people and their businesses having to deal with this
