They've done away with naming diseases after people. Most new diseases now have descriptive names. E.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

British or Dutch company? The latter was far more vicious and greedy but the Dutch's international reputation somehow got away with it today. Let's not forget that after being colonized and brutalized by the Nazis in WWII, the Dutch went back to their old ways and did the same things to Indonesia.

Our lung-fish ancestors were cowards. When the seas got too spicy, they swam to the shores and marshes to hide like hikikomori neets.

No billionaire or even tensmillionaire will fly first class if they can avoid it. They still have to breathe the same air as the cattle class. True rich people fly in private jets.

A mark of a true gentleman is the consideration that they give to others without anyone forcing them to do it.

I bet the night sky is beautiful though. I was floored by the stars while in rural New Zealand. Stars like sand.
