    Simple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. Any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70% of the elapsed time.

    (There really is no other way)

      This. Trust is a function of time and commitment. Especially time. Easy to lose hard to gain

        Yeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 years after WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

      That’s the U+2105CARE OF symbol, not %. No idea why it’s so prominent on Android System Keyboard because it’s so niche.

        Interesting. My stock pixel keyboard has ℅ as an alternate long press to %. In SwiftKey, the alternate is ‰ while c/o seems to be nowhere to be found. I didn’t know I had either available as long press q from the main keyboard group is just % and nothing else (some keys have multiple alternates, like long press x shows $ but also has ¢£₹¥€, for example)

        Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I edited the comment now. And know to be careful with this in the future!
