낮 동안 우리를 활기 있게 하신 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신과 함께 있으리니, 자는 동안도 지켜 주시어 편히 쉬게 하소서.

"20. 오늘 얻은 교훈을 면발처럼 길게 이어주시어, 끝없는 성장을 이루게 하소서."

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 여러분과 함께.
😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.
🍝 기도합시다.
저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 이 밤을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 거룩한 죽음을 맞게 하소서.

But will the Liberals find enough support to survive a non-confidence vote?

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.🚆

It’s a realistic timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems.

For passengers, this means:

⌚ Shorter travel times
💺 Faster, more comfortable, and reliable trains
🌙 Expanded night train services

🔗 link.europa.eu/hDyYBG

A map of Europe titled “High-speed rail plan” showing future high-speed train connections and travel times. Green lines represent future new connections, and magenta lines represent future train travel times. Major cities are marked with circles and connected by these lines. Examples of travel times include: Lisbon–Madrid (3h), Paris–Brussels (1h15), Paris–Rome (6h), Berlin–Warsaw (4h15), Berlin–Prague (2h30), Berlin–Vienna (4h30), Berlin–Budapest (6h15), Berlin–Stockholm (4h), Riga–Tallinn (1h45), Vilnius–Riga (2h), Sofia–Athens (6h). The map includes the EC logo in the bottom right corner.

まあサービス開始直後はそうなるかもしれないが、人気な投稿なほどそのシンボルが付くことから、時が経つにつれてそのシンボルが人々の心理的には肯定の意味を持つようになってきて、結局は「いいね」と同じような意味に変化する結末を辿るであろうことも想像に難くない​:nullcatchan_goodnight:​

そういえば昼に書いたこの話、「webサイト見ない、アプリがないなら使わない」っていうのは単に知らないみたいな話以上に、「確認の手間すらかけたくない」がニュアンスとしては近いみたい ​:thinking_ago:​

スマホアプリすら（ちょっと分かりにくいだけで）インストール後に何もせずに相当数が離脱するらしいし、趣味の領域のサービスって難しいよね
