    To seperate themselves from russia. As they use the Julian calander celebrateing in jan.

    I assume it is also to unify with the west. As that has been aboided in the past due to russias threats.

    But as theu no longer have reason to avoid joining nato. I imagine officially sharing the same calendar seem like a bery easy unifying move.

    I aaaume anyone who feels the need to celebrate on the 7th jan still can

    Although hard to understand why any obe would care. Its not like xmas is the actual date of any past event. But instead the time pagan religions in europe were already celibrateimg yuletide etc.

        Yeah legally blind typing on a phone

        Sorta given up careing after 50+ years.

        If something makes it difficult to understand please let me know. Otherwise the human mind is very vert hood at interpreting meaning even with typos.

        Nearly every phone keyboard has auto correct and every browser will automatically underline incorrect words. Even a cursory rescan would have shown that some of these are just keyboard mashes more than words. It is truly a marvel of the modern age to see something this coherently incoherent.

          Limited use when you are leagally blind. As you cannot see the ubderline.

          Or in this case read the timy suggested words above the keyboard.

          Maybe do not assume everyone has things as eeasy as you do. Rather then sounding so fucking judgental in deciding how little work other may have .

              Thanks for the suggestion.

              I use something like that on my hime PC. Although I prefer large monitors and text as I am more used to that from my past.

              But I tend to use the phone while travelling on bus or waiting in public places.

              And I just do not feel comfortable telling everyone what I rhink. Using ear pods is easy for text to speach. But not much allows for speach to text privacy.

              I sometimes use bluetooth keyboards as edges help rather then screen kb.

              But large screen phone and all keyboard really only works if I am sat at a table. So I often forget to take it with me. T1d means i carry to much crap already.

              As I say. In genral I have stopped worrying to much. My past means I worked with a lot of folks with dislexia and disgraphia. So know full well anyone judgeing a persons intelegence based on their written language or language skills in genral. It is them that has the issue. As such things are only one skill often not related to intelegence at all.

              So will happily tell folks to go suck themselves if they comment.
