Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

Definitely correct. My brain does not want to interpret 50501 as making anything being maybe a zip code. That's my bad.

I read the comment above as, "Our anti-Nazis are baby stuff compared to during Hitler's rise. They legally organized in Germany and still failed. One day a week protests aren't going to cut it. We need to shut down cities all week, all month, all year until the Nazis in our government are removed."

But hey perspectives I guess.

EDIT: You know what everyone is right. I had to Google it after waking up. I struggle so much with recognizing 50501 as literally anything other than a string of numbers. But the 50501 movement is definitely anti-nazis. And now I read the comment differently. My sentiment still stands but the other person's is more questionable in my brain now.

Edit 2: ~~Our Nazis are baby stuff compared to Hitler shit.~~ --> anti-Nazis are baby stuff compared to during Hitler's rise.

Also don't let go of your "standard drink" stuff on the side of piss. I loved that while I was there. Sure I can guess how much alcohol I've had in the last couple hours by reckoning my 3 or 4 beers had 5%, 6.5%x2, and 8% and this means I'm tipsy. But it's so much easier to understand how drunk I am when it's 1+1.5+1.5+2=6 standard drinks.

It's just a good system despite the many flaws.

My partner just told me a more interesting question and probably your intent was to ask: is Turkey in the European Union? And no, it is not however Turkey has many ties to Europe especially in defense. Much of the EU is part of NATO and many Europe adjacent countries are also party to the treaty. This includes Turkey.

Turkey is also split between Europe and Asia. Most of the country is in Asia. But the country is split in Istanbul by the Bosporus Strait. The European part of Turkey is on the North side of the strait. This gives Turkey a land border with Greece and Bulgaria.

Also, in the past, the Ottoman empire was pretty damn expensive pushing much further North and containing much of what we call Eastern Europe. Modern Czechia, Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Ukraine form the border for the lands claimed by the Ottomans.

Yes, the European part of the country is part of Europe and the rest of the country is in Asia. Source: I listened in middle school.

Then by your reckoning, they're doing pretty well. Colorado has a population of 6 million.

It needs to be in the streets but it's hard to be the first to do it. And where I love I'm not even sure who, what, or where to protest.
