The SU and Eastern Europe countries were also such a 'combined block' though (both for trade via COMECON and militarily via the TFCMA (aka 'Warsaw Pact'). Although AFAIK Western Europe had a much higher population than the Eastern European socialist countries. But in general, the education and health care systems were usually the 'flag ships' with easy and free access for the 'working class' (which also means extreme…

I had never heard of a discrimination issue regarding soviet and affiliated healthcare systems. Care to elaborate ?

Not in healthcare but in education. For instance a friend of mine wasn't allowed to study at university because his parents were active in the church, and that was just one reason to land on the blacklist, basically if you weren't a "good socialist citizen" (which basically means: do as you're told and keep your mouth shut) you could kiss goodbye to any sort of career beyond a shitty factory job (this was in East Germany). But yeah, if you arrived at the emergency station with a heart attack they didn't ask for your party membership book before treating you, so that's at least something.

1537 for me is "the jewel at the heart" and only has 186? (ultimate by PSR)

If we observe two different Aaronsons, there must be some phase interference; had you meant to refer to anything of the sort with intertidal angling? (as smugglers well know, high tide erases footprints left at low, so finding the source of any such would presumably be difficult...) On the other hand, there's also the post-Dead jam band, EDIT: ...as well as other (specific!) sources of irrationality.

Yes, fox and lion as vices fit for Cicero: he is a clueless[0] middle poster boy (and remained so for thousands of years); if M Antonius (whose mother's remarriage allowed him to see psychopaths at work among not only the low but also the high) had been the open-letter-writing type, his advice probably would have agreed with the Florentine that they were the cardinal (for flatlanders anyway; bear with me here on the dimensionality[2]) virtues.

Personally, I enjoy fraud and force when they're bookended by handshakes; if we think of society as an MMO, could there be any way to structure it so that Killers can enjoy pitting themselves against each other, but without impacting[1] involuntary third parties?

[0] although if I recall https://www.talmud.de/tlmd/tanach/megillat-ruth/#1_Kapitel , it shares Ciceronian concern both for foreigners and for seemly ways to express "uncovering feet".

[1] when Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar places his wife and daughters with the oratores, is he explicitly removing them from the bellatores Killer world and placing them in an Achiever enclave?

EDIT[2]: are designori k-vicinal for k = ⌊d⁄2⌋?

OK, this is how you know I'm not just pretending to have grown up in the Old Country. Between a steady diet of Itchy & Scratchy during my formative years and a national sport which consists of violence punctuated by committee meetings, I had fixated so much on the floral song conceits that I'd completely spaced on all the ultra violence.

Let's see if there are any US Top 100's (1955-1992) in which lyrics are ambiguous between human and botanic...

1961 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT-tYh3OSUQ "san antonio rose"

1962 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdGphk-XTh8 "rambling rose"

1973 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9bJJNUdXEs "wildflower"

1980 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Het6ww147Es "the rose"

OK, that's more than I'd thought, but considering those 4 are out of ~3'300 titles, I'm pretty confident there'd be (relatively speaking? or even absolutely?) far more eastern entries, and maybe far more even if we limited them to the format of "${COLOR} ${FLOWER}".
