Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.

As an Icelander, I just know if Trump gets Greenland he won’t stop there. He’ll try to take Iceland too. I’m scared.

I was exaggerating to make a point. But one of the main reasons why I switched to Firefox (about a year ago) was because it was eating up so much of my CPU.

It also eats up like 99% of your CPU

Republicans don’t give a shit about anything other than owning the libs. That’s their entire ideology.
Trump’s ideology is doing whatever it takes to give Donald Trump the most amount of power.

Something tells me Meta’s fact checking is gonna be even more lax than it already is…

Try Norway. Our electric companies were sold to private investors who sold our electricity to the EU, and then they sold too much so they had to buy it back at exorbitant prices and the public is footing the bill for their dumbassery.
It’s not as bad as it was a year ago but it’s still about 15 times more expensive than it was just 4 years ago.

Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this

I’ll just build my own cell tower and become my own ISP, checkmate

If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

A small boulder the size of a large boulder

You don’t need to ban tipping. Several countries don’t have a tipping culture and that’s because the waiters are paid adequately for their work. Tipping is seen as a bonus after exceptionally good service.
The US should raise the minimum wage for restaurant workers and not make it the customer’s responsibility to make sure the waiter can pay their rent.

I’m not at all a horror fan, but I absolutely love The Shining. There’s so many easter eggs and details and hidden symbolism you could absolutely get lost in.

This is just the Euro NCAP guidelines, not actual EU regulation, but still a positive development.
And I agree that the EU have been on an amazing streak lately, they seem to be the only governing body actually fighting for consumer rights.

I broadly agree with you, but it feels like cinema is shifting back to quality again. We’re all tired of shitty superhero movies and many of the recent ones have bombed at the box office. Hell, one of the biggest movies of last year was mostly about men in suits talking about science and it was great. Dune pt. II is also an incredible breath of fresh air and shows that it’s still possible to make a massive blockbuster with mass appeal but also a strong sense of style and integrity. I really hope this trend continues because I want real cinema and not mere ‘content’.

Hell yeah. Unfortunately they don’t grow where I live, but we have plenty of Porcinis and Chanterelles which taste amazing

Allow me to introduce you to Smash! They’re basically chocolate covered Bugles and they’re amazing. Very popular in Scandinavia.

Lol I have a similar problem, I’m from Iceland but I don’t live there anymore, so whenever I go back I try to enjoy the novelty of speaking my native language as much as possible. Trouble is, almost every service worker downtown doesn’t even speak Icelandic lol
