BoJack, stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you! It’s not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the shitty things that happened in your career, or when you were a kid! It’s you! Alright? It’s you. Fuck, man. What else is there to say?

During the Late Period and Ptolemaic times mongooses were represented in bronze statuettes such as this one, standing, forepaws raised, atop small bronze boxes. The pose of raised paws signifies the animal’s adoration of the sun god when he rises in the morning. Some scholars have identified these animals as otters rather than mongooses.
In myth, mongooses were particularly attached to the goddess of Lower Egypt Wadjet, whose cult was centered in Buto, in the northern Delta.

To clarify, it is not the total number of words but rather the number of unique words considered. Imho a million of unique words is okay. A bigger concern for me would be that words on Wikipedia can be overly specific.
Yes, the EU should consist of democratic and non-corrupt nations, with being a healthy democracy as the bare minimum requirement. You mentioned corruption in Ukraine as if its level were similar to that in other EU countries, but it isn’t. From my perspective, Ukraine’s Euromaidan was a significant step in the right direction, albeit just one of many needed.
