he might have a donkey, though that's rotten to say if so.

my _guess_ is that the 'not do much' is a hidden wait to vote again. time will tell.

> buying Movies and TV on iTunes. Yes you don't "own it" and yes there are the rare occasional license revocations but it's not often enough for me to care about that--They still remain in your library anyways.

agreed : have been doing that since 15ish years ago, works fine, no time squandered on stupid ass "ask your doctor about ___" ads, and that time saved is hugely valuable.

Is that just ephemeral, in the sense that he'll be whoever-wins aligned in a couple years?

just a data point: i have a 2026 Subaru Uncharted, awd EV, and it's superlative.

For context, i had a 2014 BMW i3 for about 8 years, the design was neat, the engineering undependable, an Audi A5 for 2.x years, truly excellent and i loved it like my old used SAAB 900 turbo of long ago, and a BMW i4 xdrive40 for 3 years, truly shitty engineering, but pretty shape and paint job.

The Subaru EV does share components with Toyota/Lexus(/Subaru) but handles __way__ better than the BMW for 2/3 the price, has vastly nicer EV component design (like heat pump and periphery, which is outsourced by BMW and failed on both my i3 and i4).

I don't happen to know what AfD is, so i definitely didn't call them anything.

My point was that terminology can be overloaded in contradictory ways; it's been clarified multiple times above that such is the point, including in my original comment's short last sentence.

p.s. I think we're saying essentially the same thing(s).

i have no idea what you're going on about, because my entire point was that the terminology meant different things at different times, purposefully obviously.

agreed : that's my point in noting overloading (and contradictory overloadings) of the term.

it's the Nazi's own use of the term in describing their party name that is being referred to.

i think you said, in your first sentence, just what i was observing. the latter sentences seem unrelated?

Yes! that's what i'm getting at: the use of these names is presented as meaningful but they're too mired in misdirection and propaganda to be context-free meaningful, both in an era, and across time.

yeah...that's my point, these namings are pretty devoid of _consistent_ meaning, both with respect to what they reference (as in your democratic people's republic of korea example) as well as across time.

the namings are just messy.
