“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.
That’s wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.
EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don’t think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It’s easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it’s naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.
“White House Faith Office”, that sounds like someone is pushing the “Faith” branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the “Faith keepers”. Ugh.
I’ve recently listened to a podcast with the german astronaut Matthias Maurer where he discusses this question - What exactly makes you an astronaut?
He stated that there are several definitions, mostly based around altitude but if you want the European Space Agency to call you an astronaut you also have to fly around the earth in space at least once. So by ESA definition, Katy Perry would not be an astronaut.
I’m from Germany and all of this fancy matrix dynamic adaptive stuff doesn’t change the fact that I get blinded by bright flashy LEDs every time I drive at night.
What movie is this from?
Losing my religion
