    Literally, “water man” is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as “water bearer”.

    Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?










  • bc they haven’t had as terrible of a racist past as the US

    You do know the Holocaust happened in Europe right?

    Other than that, I do agree with you. Europe is still very racist but we like to think we’re not. Just because it’s less talked about, doesn’t mean it’s not there.







  • Sorry, I misread your comment as saying you were in the UK. That’s on me, you didn’t formulate it badly.

    I do think that Erdogan’s reelection is worse for Turkey than Brexit is for the UK. And I think the latter is fucked up.

    Still, I truly believe that a lot of people that voted against their own interest are victims of themselves and the lies they were fed. But I’m definitely too soft hearted and naive at times.

    Like you said, I’m an outsider and didn’t mean to imply to mandate who you should have sympathy for.
