    Wait is that an option? Gam Gam had a shop in Leicester before she moved to Minnesota.

    From what I know, its a communist idea that all governments are inventions and that we are "trying them to see if they work".

    I mean, what part of that is a communist idea? And of course they are all inventions that we are trying. Every country around the world is hoping their government system works best for their population. That said they are all for the most part , different.

    spoilerIt's one of those "City on a Hill" sentiments. It upsets boomers to acknowledge that not a lot of "experimenting" has veen going on since the civil rights era.

    I understand everything, but not the older German "s" instead of usual English one. And that use of "u" is awful. Especially since it's inconsistent. Why are you doing this?

    spoilerſ feels more fun, and u in uı is because, at least in how I speak, aı feels too "open" for how I pronounce my "I" sounds. Like spelling light as "laıt" feels way wider in the chest than how I say it.
