Making a link between innovation on the internet and yaoi being a new word to someone seems to convey that the word must have appeared a few years ago. Being at least as old as the early 2010s, and probably much older, I didn’t check, makes it a long time ago by comparison.

It exists since a long time. I knew it in the early 2010s.

20 million seems huge. I didn’t know so many so many even had a passport.

Yes, the Tolkien elves come from the Germanic elves.

However, the Germans had kinda forgot about their own elves. Meanwhile, the English started representing elves as smaller creatures. The German picked up that notion from the English.

I loved that game. I only stopped because of the realities of being a full-time working dad.

Doesn’t China still have access to Russian oil? Or does it go through the Strait of Hormuz too?

Being in Canada, I’m feeling so much relief now. My fear of dying soon isn’t entirely gone, but I’m feeling more hopeful.
