The government of Denmark salutes the American people and their sacrifice for making our line go up. Ozempic is currently the main reason why Novo Nordisk is one of the most valuable companies in Europe, and that company is almost single-handedly pulling Denmark out of a recession (on paper, most people here aren’t doing too hot, but since when has our shitty fucking SocDems ever given a shit about that)

I’m not particularly highly paid compared to most people i work with, but it seems like a simple way to not have your convictions eroded is to begin thinking about issues in a more structural way, rather than just the immediate.

So sure, the driving contradiction in my life is the fact that my rent and car-payments and childcare expenses are taking up a solid 105% of my post-tax pay, but I’m also capable of looking outside and seeing the fact that a 1000 people just fucking died of heatstroke during the Hajj, because temperatures in Saudi Arabia crested 50 degrees celsius. If you are actually interested in socialism, you’d probably pretty easily be able to connect the lack of income growth compared to inflation and climate change, as both issues have the same fundamental cause.

This one is basically impossible without a really detailed map. Randomly getting these shitty not-real-country’s feel pretty bad.

Went to the RoK a month ago and stayed for a week. Received a few comments from people at the university I visited that they could not believe that I was the same age as a bunch of them and had 2 kids. They all said that they would love to have children one day, but it took so much work to get to someplace comfortable that they could not imagine starting over after having a child. Also, Hell Joeseon has a serious problem with male chauvinism, to the point where women complain about it if you are a foreigner and there aren’t korean men nearby.

I used to bike with my kid to her kindergarten, but unfortunately someone thought my just-restored-after-winter-bike looked too good and napped it while I was sleeping. When I got my insurance pay out, I decided that I couldn’t really spend the money on another bike, as my 2nd kid is just about to reach the age where I have to take him to kindergarten as well, which means I would have needed a new bike anyway. Currently debating whether I need to spend the extra money i’m about to receive on a new bike or just use it to further pay down my car-loan.

:::

Wasn’t tipping primarily exempt from the minimum wage because FDR had to get the support of the entire democratic party to get his reforms passed, and the southern Dems refused to vote for anything that would make them have to pay black people. So tipping and agricultural labour was exempt from minimum wage laws, because otherwise the new deal would have gotten blocked by the presidents own party. And FDR figured that there wasn’t enough of those labourers to kickstart a revolution by themselves, so he agreed to it.

I thought that the main way Americans coped with their declining standard of living was by taking all their frustrations out on retail employees / customer service workers. In that case, deputizing retail workers seems like a bad idea, since a lot of people will presumably get caught in the crossfire when a customer finally pushes them too far, particularly since retail is such a low paid / high stress job and the people who hold these jobs don’t necessarily have it in them to not fight back

The vikings also specialized in hitting areas with litteral no defensive fortifications. The english had placed their monasteries on the rocky eastern shores to prevent them from being overrun by the locals, as the local population would occasionally attack them, but since monks generally did not fight back, attacking them was sort of like attacking a university, whose students are armed with sticks, while the vikings had axes and swords. An axe typically beats a stick, particularly if the stick is wielded by a guy who mainly does yard-work for a living.

I wish we lived in the world that Libs seem to think we live in, where Russia is secretly funding every group that opposes current-flavor-neoliberalism. That way, we might accidentally get a shot at a better world, but instead we just get fascism or fascism-lite

MANPADS does sound like one of those hyper-masculinity-as-a-grift type of products. Maybe selling “tactical manpads” as an alternative to diapers for old people will be a viable business in 20ish years, when most of the war on terror vets reaches the age of incontinence

Been seeing a bunch of those stickers in my neighbourhood for a couple of months now, and they contain no useful information except for a QR-code, which made me suspect it as some kind of op by a bored intelligence officer.

Do they want the conflict to end as in “we recognize that prolonging the conflict will only lead to more suffering so we should negotiate a deal between Ukraine and Russia” or do they want the conflict to end as “russian subhumans must evacuate Ukraine immediately and let them reset their borders to the ones prior to 2014”. Because one of those is an actual serious opinion and the other one is shown by every Lemmy lib who wanders into Hexbear for more than 2 minutes. The latter opinion is also seemingly shared by Zelensky and Co. as they keep having these peace summits without inviting Russia, which seems like wishcasting more than anything.
