This generates more incentive for the politicians to keep the people poor. The poorer the people are, the cheaper winning a vote is since less money will be enough motivation to sway them

70 more years now and they’ll understand that the whole socialism thing actually makes sense as well. Just like taking paying and taking care of your workers actually results in higher and longer production

In this dysfunctional world going straight to hell, Harald was a voice of reason and love

This was me when I was younger. I turned it around by using simple social queues. In a group, if a friend I trusted was making jokes on my expense I’d laugh. However, if someone else I didn’t trust/ accept would do the same (as often happened), I’d just stare at them with a neural expression. Maybe even a bit annoyed. Social situations are ball games. They all want to play ball. If you dont play ball, they will try to adapt so that you throw the ball back

This is only an argument if one values democracy, which the voters of Trump clearly does not

Cost of doing business

A shame. That sign hit me straight in the feelings

TIL! Thanks

If werewolf is manwolf, wouldn’t wereman be manman?

Been wanting to try and contribute like this myself, but it’s overwhelming. Would you mind sharing some tips/guides on getting a somewhat decent feedback loop up for testing out changes? I’m sure it varies a lot depending on what is being developed, but any input is appreciated

Not going to comment on people in general, but I’ll offer some personal experience as a Norwegian. Had a russian colleague a while back. She was hard working, smart, lovely and kind. Don’t have a single negative thing to say about her. However, when the subject of her origin came up things was a bit weird. It was hard to talk about. Not because of the talking, but more because of fear of not knowing what she would be willing to talk about. It’s also a bit scary because depending on what our stances on things were, it could easily turn into a conflict.

I also remember thinking to myself that no matter how good and honest she was as a person, she is still a security risk. Her connections to her country, i.e. friends and family, can be used as leverage to have her do things she doesn’t want to.

That said; if you are willing to get through those hurdles and understand/agree with the general Norwegian perspective on the Ukraine situation, I think you’ll be alright

My cure is to try new hobbies/activities. Especially ones that require your complete focus. Like Motorsports. Personally I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to singing in front of people, resulting in everything else disappearing during the vocal lessons I for some reason signed up for.

It used to make me sad that I couldn’t hold a single hobby, but I guess I’m just not built for it. Trying different ones as often as needed is more up my alley

Oh really. That’s… A bummer

I thought it couldn’t transfer between humans? Only from rodent saliva/pee/poop

Don’t worry. I’ll teach you some basic economy. If you have more costs than income you should try to either increase the income, decrease costs, or even better - both. That’s what he did

Yeah. Powerful message though

Rise Against - Hero of war

Not a “play at protests”-song, but powerful nevertheless

I get that. Surely there’s bugs. I just wanted to add the perspective since you painted a picture of a broken technology. I’d talk to your distro’s maintainers if they are rolling out unstable stuff

Not sure what you mean. Been running Wayland for years with little to no problems. No desktop environment though
