I guess Spicy didn't have his nap today.

So Turkey voted in favor of a dictatorship. It's sad but I expected it. Of course the vote wasn't fair, and there might even have been some election fraud (real one, not the "trumped up" one), alas because of a lack of rule of law and a siege nationalistic mentality, I don't think anything can be done about it.

Sadly enough I'm probably one of the few Greeks who's sad about this, because at least towards Greece he's a much safer choice (he doesn't share the animosity that the old nationalist elite held towards current and former minorities of Turkey, that the old nationalistic leaders did.

At the same time that's one more dictator in the world which makes me sad, and in the long run I think he will completely destabilize the country which will spell disaster for us too, since we're right next door.

I know! As much as we love religion, you'd think we Americans would get the day off, right?! Wrong. I'm back on n the office...

I didn't even know Easter Monday was a thing.

A dictator in itself is not bad; the problem only comes when the dictator lets the power go to their head and they stop acting in the interests of the people and the state.

Install Opera. It has built-in proxy functionality.

I took off, honestly. Been wanting to for months.

(And I don't know anything about Easter Monday, either.)

I'd been wondering why your posting had dropped off the last few days. Question answered

Even super atheists like the Dutch take a day off on easter Monday. Greece too. We were too busy yesterday roasing an entire lamb, getting drunk and breaking plates (true story), so we need the day off.
