If he ever made a local appearance, as a fellow Dane I would ask why he was ruining the scenery by showing his face in such a beautiful part of the country. He’s not only a great example of why P2P is more than just people wanting free shit, he also made a pretty good case that money can’t buy happiness or talent

Lars Ulrich, the only Dane I never liked. Most Danes are agreeable but Lars had someone piss in his baby bottle and he never got over it.

Our friend below details this fairly well, but in a society where “my” taxes are a sign of ownership of debt, do you really think that’s healthy? How about the alternative where everyone has the same investment and therefore the same access to public goods and services? Feel free to double down, but I just don’t see the point of people arguing the necessity to own debts incurred on them from a structurally unsound social and economic system. It’s weird and has the aire of Stockholm Syndrome.

Thank you for giving a real world example of a rational human who can disagree with the premise while also understanding its intent and origin. All these other numpties downvoting me didn’t bother to do the 2 minutes of critical thinking, so good on you mate!

Grammatically you are spot on, numerically you are missing a bit of nuance. In a society where everyone paid the same equal and fair amount, the ills we see simply would not exist.

Mark my words. This is going to be put in an Adam Curtis documentary at some point!

Yes, the answer as you see fit.

Because i’m not American.

98% of the world is reactionary? Uh ok.

How interesting this hasn’t gotten any traction! Guess that’s more proof she was correct.

When people come to me with missing pieces, I still consider them complete humans. Most people are puzzles, and so this question seems like it answered itself.

If you’re saying you’re flexible enough to squeeze into your seat while that 15° is fully used, happy for you. Not everyone is an acrobat nor interested in accommodating slouchers.

It’s always funny to me when people complain about others restricting their slouching on a flight. The way j get around this is to get up every 30-45 minutes and stretch, take a little jaunt around the aisles and if I’m not grossed out by the first peep at the lavatory, take care of business, since I’m sipping on water the entire flight to combat jet lag. I must be in a hidden third category that doesn’t care too much about reclining my seat. If others recline, that’s okay because they’ll quickly learn that every half hour or so, they’re gonna have to push that seat upwards so I can get in and out. And if they don’t, they can explain why to the attendant I’ll be grabbing shortly.

I rather enjoyed this lashing, and I appreciate the sane take amidst a sea of nonsensical panic and rumors.

I wonder if Lutnick is still upset that much of the world won’t allow the sale of US beef? I also wonder if some Americans read that question as a “taste test” analysis when it’s about a widely held belief that food safety protocols must be universally enforced.

As someone who lives at the other end of Asia, I can attest to tap water being undrinkable and bottled water the norm. I would also add all these comments saying “get a filter” are just setting themsleves up for problems down the road. UV flashed, RO, carbon filtered water is clean AF but has been stripped of essential trace minerals and micronutrients. In order to have efficient hydration, we need to reacquire those somewhere… so unless commenters are planning on gorging down salty snacks and chugging sports drinks behind their water, I would refer people to ConcenTrace products in order to do that. I’m not shilling for the company but I am a happy customer. There are probably other ways to go about this, but I’m not aware of them; a simple scoop or drip into my water mug is easier than sourcing various and combining them on my own.

The line of mass insecurity extends all the way to Texass, brother lol

My work is done here haha

Oh look. An American edgelord. How wonderful you’ve shown yourself to the peasants, exposed your cudgel of morality to the savages! Just when we thought you were a dying species hurtling towards an untimely extinction.

Have no fear Interwebs! Your daily browbeatings will continue in fashion with the age we live in.

If only a downvote were possible here…
