Yes, that's how Zorua works. It disguises as whatever is set as your buddy.

Was Ditto your buddy?

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?

Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.

I know it's pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I'm not a weirdo (well...). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes

Clearly you don't understand the first-past-the-post system the US presidential election utilises.

The chance isn't just slim. It's astronomical.

The chance of Cornell West winning is probably smaller than a bit-flip happening, switching your vote to another candidate. That's how little chance your vote would have to make the country a better place.

On the other hand, every vote not casted for the only viable non-Trump candidate helps Trump.

I'm European and would love for you to have the option to vote for proper social democrats or greens (especially greens!). But please, every US citizen needs to do their part to not get fascists get hold of your country.

It's sad to say, but if you don't vote for the democratic candidate, you might not have a chance to vote 3rd party in 4 years. (I don't like fear mongering, but it's a real enough possibility)

No worries. I was hesitant to post both comments, knowing they might be misinterpreted.

That might make thing overcomplified though

Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a "I am all Hamas on this blessed day".
