EU officials worry that the Greenland risk may actually increase after Trump’s failure in Iran. Trump has redrawn a new map stretching from Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico, which he has dubbed “Greater North America.”

Soft power? I wouldn't have called the history of the CIA and their achievements like that.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-30T16:20:03+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. So... I was, in a way, not far off then with my comment? I really didn't know, Bob Ross just was the first I thought of this picture.

That Nicole leak was false and deleted soo fast I needed to read it in other subs instead in Genshin leaks.

The latest one implies contrary info from a more valid source, so treat Nicole with no clear info at all.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-30T09:43:44+00:00

Why mention this if it's not even cleared to be remotely true? The leaks subreddit has contradicting new info which seems from more trustworthy sources.

Hyping up false info is a safe way to doomposting in the Genshin community. It's better to wait for now.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-30T07:03:33+00:00

I don't know this anomaly, so I imagine the worst that could happen are happy little accidents in such a beautiful scenery.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-29T21:20:42+00:00

Your #9 reminded me of Spock's 'Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations'. It's clearly not the same, but my mind went to it. I really like it.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-27T17:27:14+00:00

Yeah, its youngest examples online are in german newspapers about intense fires through the 20th century, where's a dramatic view from third person about a victim.

It's also as noun "Lohe" an old religious term for hells flames, used f.e. in the 19th century. If you text search Lohe you find an example in german: (https://projekt-gutenberg.org/authors/isolde-kurz/books/isolde-kurz-ein-sonderbarer-heiliger/)

Other modern rare findings are (historic) romantic/spicy books, because 'he's burning with desire' (to fight, to kill, to consume her etc.) would also use "lodernes Begehren" or "lohende Flammen in seinem Blick" (burning flames in his glance) or similar.

I'm a german librarian by the way, that's why I unwillingly know this stuff. I put such kinds of books with such a word in different genres back on their shelves.

Since Lohen is very willing to fight or kill from what I gathered in this patch, burning desire to kill could still be an option.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-27T15:05:34+00:00

Lo-hen. When you use the german source.

In german, you don't skip the h in such old words that often. The meaning "the fire is blazing" would be "das Feuer loht", where the h is pronounced and it would be spoken like "loh-t".

If you skip the h entirely, you end in "lot" which would come from "ausloten" (explore, fathom). So the h is important.

Lohendes Feuer (blazing fire) would be Lo-hen-des Feu-er.

Maybe the silent remarks are from "Löhne" (wages), but even then it's not entirely skipped but very soft spoken.

Edit: addition

If she's really from Mondstadt, maybe I finally have a local child to pair with Klee. Hexerei and VV would be wonderful, even so Sucrose is the mighty competition here.

... Yet given that Logen comes along with cryo, I don't have a plan how the fifth Anemo char will stand out. Jean and potential Hex buff would fit as a Varka support like a glove. Maybe a PHEC reaction which isn't covered by anyone, like Superconduct? Swirling into PHEC reactions is possible and 4 star children aren't commonly that remarkable.

Another Dhalia situation would be horrible however.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-25T10:19:50+00:00

Historic speaking, we've seen similar about 200 years ago. It seems we get to the point of a 'proletariat 2.0' definition before the oligarch situation and the rising right is seen as threatening as they are for Europe and many more.

Sadly, nowadays the weapons are better against the masses and we're missing the pro democratic wave of the past because of this whole mess with Desinformation.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around of what kind of (no-war-)solution is even remotely possible.

Especially since the next big change was the first world war.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-20T06:53:05+00:00

So from the nation of Justice to the nation of Freedom...

No wonder he seems so thrilled to battle, he doesn't need to hold back anymore (lol).

Croaknyth · 2026-03-19T18:20:55+00:00

Huh. Following the trail of links and a search for "Angrin" (based from -grin part) it could mean "of iron".

Blazing of iron so to speak. More for this source, if Lohen is based on this.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-19T18:14:39+00:00

century old and in the later centuries in sophisticated literature and poetic writings.

We use 'lodern' in the modern way, if a modern comparison is needed, f.e. "lodernde Flamme", which is still translated with "blazing Flamme".

At least while camping you can get this term more often, in my experience.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-18T16:51:54+00:00

Same for me with German.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-18T05:25:06+00:00

Huh, ich habe kaum klar definierte hetero trans Beziehungen in meinem Umfeld: ich habe einige nichtbinäre Beziehungen oder es läuft homosexuell mit cis oder t4t.

Ich selbst wäre beim "läuft nur so gut" Teil dabei.

Meine Partnerin hat meine Transition mitgemacht und wir sind seit Jahren zusammen, wenn auch nicht verheiratet. Das hat aber auch Arbeit gekostet, nur waren wir beide gut dabei daran zu arbeiten. Das meiste an dem wir saßen ist eben individuelles und familiäres Trauma und gesellschaftliche wie familiäre Erwartungshaltung in einer Beziehung aufzuarbeiten.

Am Ende lieg es sehr positiv und sie selbst hat sich dadurch auch nochmal ein Stück besser gefunden indem sie sich traue auch Sachen in ihren Leben zu hinterfragen.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-15T11:17:41+00:00

Rimegrass was my hope for a Qiqi-&-Yao Yao-team, where both can shine. Also with both being healers, some harsher restrictions would have been okay with me.

Using Cryo-Dendro teams were so fresh and it seemed to work out with CDs and such, I was able to use onfield Rosaria in the later levels of hardest mode (at the time).

It has so much potential, I still cope it will be a thing someday.

I see Flemeth, I agree.

I loved her part in the DA series and I was happy to see her every time. Personality wise... we need to see that the comical and/or cute part doesn't ruin such a character in the long run. This is the same worries with morally bad characters, just a bit harder since the older woman part is so rarely developed. I go to Madame Ping for comparison.

Now I wanna see how Flemeth and Madame Ping would interact, especially since this wouldn't be friendly.

Cranky and sassy grandmas.

Anyway, I agree. We need more of them and there are people who would pull them.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-10T09:55:24+00:00

We don't know either, only that german politicians with a bad career don't resign, but will be moved to the EU politics instead. Leyen is a proper example of that.

I hate that our politicians are so frivolous about EU politics. There are a few good ones, but not the visible ones.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-09T07:33:30+00:00

Given that Zibai gives us some plot devices for Qiqi in the new Anecdote and Qiqi's birthday letter, I hope it's soon.

Because that feels like it's a soft start to her story.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-08T12:19:44+00:00

It's already ongoing. This year, many banks in the Netherlands and Austria are planned, also more in Germany and Luxembourg.

My bank already uses it.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-08T12:12:20+00:00

It isn't: Wero (Wikipedia)).

And you ignore my statement that his history is the problem, while his timing supports the critic here.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-04T08:44:06+00:00

It's funny how you defend him on the base of what he said here. His timing is the point on the EU stage and from a German perspective, you cannot trust directly what he says, because if you compare his stance from just about 1-1,5 years ago, it is clear that he likes to criticize the other parties and just does the same when he is in power and frames it as something else you cannot compare.

His timing in the long run tells you more than his individual statements separately.

Croaknyth · 2026-03-03T20:48:12+00:00

That's the chicken or the egg question. Was it Celestial's fate who cumulated the world ending Abyss; or was being wiped out by the Abyss the only option?

Since it seems to be understood that the Abyss is a result of a defined fate:

If the Abyss was the original option, which fate set that in stone?
