Yeah, people often forget that most regents were at least to some extent elected. If the nobility/rich landowners didn’t want a specific regent then they were thrown out and a new one was found. Usually within the same line, though. A regent rarely had absolute power. For example Denmark has had a monarchy for over 1000 years but less than 200 of those were an actual absolute monarchy. Most of the time the regent was put in check by the nobility/landowners and the church etc.

Not necessarily. Plenty of kings were elected by the nobility.

I often think about the people I used to spend hours with every day playing games online. I wonder whether they think of me too.

I’ve always considered agnostics to be atheists who just don’t wanna debate. At least that’s why I used to call myself an agnostic when I was younger.

What’s the selling point on CachyOS? I use Pop os right now but I’m looking to swap to something new and I was never all that fond of Pop os. Before that I used Fedora which had an awful time running stable on my machine. Mostly I’m considering Debian

Lmao. In Europe Mac is mainstream and most people think I have MacOS installed when it’s in fact gnome

98% of the time I wanted to do something, or had a problem I wanted to fix, the cause was Gnome. I hate Gnome. And coincidentally also feet.
