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.
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.

Anyone wanna play a round of “guess the gulf monarchy”?
wow
lol, didn’t know that 1/6 of Armenia was just a giant freshwater lake. Kind of forgot that mountains have runoff and presumably the area famous for its mountains would have a lot of water being collected somewhere. Thats what I get for being a flatlander from Denmark I guess

Assumed this was an island as there was a small amount of fishing. Then assumed it was african, because while the country had a fairly diversified export profile, it seemed too small to be one of the post-soviet states. Then I was pointed due north, and began guessing in the Caucasus, and was pointed in the right direction. No idea how the country manages to have non-filet fish as a major export, since AFAIK the country is landlocked, but it could be imported from Georgia i guess.

Began in South America, realized it was Africa, then guessed Nigeria, because I can’t remember any other mostly-petroleum exporting states in Africa, and then guessed by geoclue, as I was right next to the answer.
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.
