Exactly, just more (and different) linguistic shift. Woðanaz -> Woden -> Oden -> Odin

As a former brony (there, I said it): The show is fine, it's a tiny bit of escapism with decent writing, funny characters, neurotic "girly girls" (even if they come in pony-form) and used to be nothing but a guilty pleasure in the same way people watch Adventure Time or Gravity Falls.

The fandom only started to take a darker turn when some outside criticism and trolls started to imply an underlying sexual aspect that absolutely wasn't there before. MLP was about escaping a lonely and at the same time sexualized world into a world of innocence. But like with all things obsessively online, part of the brony fandom ran with it and new people arrived in the fandom drawn explicitly by those rule34 aspects and they brought a very 4chan-and-furries-vibe that absolutely caused me to leave the fandom behind.

Most of the OG bronies retreated into safe spaces like closed servers or just watching the show without gushing over it on the net as to not look like those new icky bronies and that largely spelled the end to a formerly very innocent, colorful and accepting fandom.

The d before n is inherited from the original name Wodans dag (like Tiu's dag, Thor's dag and Frey's dag inherited through the Saxons and Danes from pagan germanic gods)

The rest is just linguistic shift through the centuries of changing language. Like Dag -> Day while for example in German Dag -> Tag.

But the root of the word is still Wodan then old english Weoden then Wedn.

The amount of damage Ukraine has done to russian supplies alone is worth every last bit of support its supporters can send. Every destroyed tank, every aircraft every missile is one less that NATO has to prepare defensive action against.

I see you know about our bureaucracy

Marx and Engels had proportional representation to work with instead of first past the post. This is exactly why the US needs proportional representation, at least for congress, to break the de-facto two party system.

Unexpected hat keine Autokorrektur, stört mich aber nicht, weil meine letzte Tastatur mehr eine Autoverfälschung als -korrektur war und ich dank meiner Erziehung eine sehr starke Rechtschreibung habe und Vertipper mit Unexpected meinem Gefühl nach durch die Vorwärts- / Rückwärts-Löschen Taste und die Schnellnavigation über Space einfacher zu beheben sind.

Unexpected Keyboard hat mein Herz erobert, ich benutze allerdings keine Autokorrektur und habe über das einfach zu bedienende Menü zusätzliche Zeichen hinzugefügt um auch sowas wie ẍ schreiben zu können.
