  • Ha, yes I guess I called it before it happened. Honestly I just woke up from a nap and figured it out.

    I guess we’ll have to see what Israel does before we can tell the outcome.

    I don’t think anyone else is going to anything crazy right now. Trump is likely out golfing and cashing in on whatever investments he made before starting this shit show. Let’s not pretend that he gives a flying fuck about who does what in Iran.


  • There’s no positive end game in it for him.

    If he turns this into a “Look at what you made me do!”-moment, he will have nothing but enemies and they’ll all know that nothing will ever please him, which is dangerous for them.

    Thus, their only option will be to assassinate him shortly after. Either by Iran getting back at him with a dirty bomb, or the Saudis getting pissed about the oil prices dropping and making a Diana out of him, or even by some lunatic MAGA who “didn’t vote for this”.

    Literally everyone would be out to take him out, and he has nothing to gain from it.

    If he realizes this, then no.

    His best option is to chicken out. He will claim to have reached a tremendous deal with Pakistan that stopped him from bombing Iran out of his own kindness and generosity, and he will mispronounce all the words.

    Most American cities use a distance or block system.

    Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5… and the other has 2,4,6…

    If a plot is later subdivided or more houses are built on a plot, its new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d…


  • For people to demand anything you’ll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.

    Add the words together and you get social democracy.

    In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.

    Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.

    Anyway, it’s that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn’t actually have to take centuries to do.

    When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.











  • Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

    Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

    I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

    But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.




  • He did say Americans, but anyway it’s a valid question for other countries too.

    In Denmark we just introduced the draft for women too. I’m not sure what my girls are going to choose when they get old enough. We do have to the option to deny it simply by claiming to be pacifist, so I’m not worried, just curious on what they’ll choose.
