  • Reminds me of how millennials and generations onward have learned less and less maintainence skills to the point where most of us can’t sow or fix shit if it’s broken because we grew up in a consumer culture where you just buy a new one when the old one breaks. The quality of products have decreased too so they break quicker which gives people incentive to buy a new one instead of fixing.

    My parents generation hold on to old items and they patch up their clothes and know how to fix shit around the house but they didn’t teach me any of that because the culture shifted and it wasn’t really needed.

    We are not only losing skills and tactile learning and understanding, we are also rapidly torpedoing out planet into a massive trash heap. Which is a bit of a duh, I know, but still.

    I for one have noticed the insane decline in the quality of clothes after covid. It is shockingly shitty now and tears faster than ever. Shirts and leggings I bought ten years ago still hold up while similar shirts and leggings from a few years ago already tear or unravel. It is shocking. I guess this is what will eventually happen to art too.


  • I loved casefile and used to listen to it all the time. Episode 54 haunts me to this day. I still cannot listen to Elton John’s “Daniel” because of that case. I was out walking in public and when it got to Daniel’s funeral, that little detail, that they played that song, absolutely wrecked me. I was ugly crying in public.

    Also liked Dan Carlin! He’s so calming to listen to. Should probably start listening to his podcast again sometime.





  • I’m proud of my inuit brothers and sisters. The Americans may finally fucking get the hint. Apparently it wasn’t enough to see that one inuk rip up American dollars when those cringe American youtubers came to give out maga hats an free money earlier this year.

    Trump and his subhumans thought that the greenland-denmark conflict would benefit them, but honestly, it’s got nothing to do with them. We have tried to sort out our differences while America has been an annoying mosquito trying to make our relationship troubles about them. Dumbasses. Greenland is their own people. They are their own nation and someday it will be official, but we aren’t there yet and while they have a lot of issues with Denmark, there’s no doubt they prefer us over America until they can stand on their own feet. It was never a question.





  • There have been protests in every single state for awhile now. At least that is what I have heard through the grapevine. I’m Danish so I haven’t seen the protests with my own two eyes, but I have seen pictures, read posts and talked to Americans who are out protesting. From what I have been told, it is unheard of that there are protests for the same cause in all 50 states at the same time. It is historic, but I’m not surprised that the greatest president who ever lived wouldn’t want that information to slip out in the media. It would hurt his fee-fees bigly.




  • Their brand of diversity is some bs anyways so you don’t have to be pro Disney.

    Remember, they gladly took help from a Chinese concentration camp to make their girl boss Mulan remake.

    They also fired all their park workers during covid and gave themselves 10 million bonuses while their workers were surviving on food stamps. Some workers had even signed non compete clauses so they literally could not use their talents elsewhere to feed themselves.

    Further more, Disneys current version of DEI is divisive, soulless and insincere.

    It isn’t a black or white situation. You can hate Disney AND MAGA. To me, they are all two sides of the same rotten coin. Ruthless, selfish and greedy people who use others to get ahead and pull the ladder up after themselves.




  • Those who flee when things get bad are also going somewhere for a better life.

    And my example of applying your logic still fits as many people who come to the US have fled countries that were going to shit.

    Are you going to say that for example every Philippino who has moved away for a better life because the Philippines is pretty shite to live in if your aren’t rich - are cowards?

    You can think what I’m saying is annoying all you want, but you cannot just make a blanket statement for people who are leaving the US and calling them cowards without applying that logic to other people in other countries who have done the same. And I think most of us would get a bad taste in our mouths if we started saying that Philippinos are cowards for leaving their country instead of staying and fixing their country. It’s not that simple. Especially not for those groups in society who are being persecuted.


  • I don’t think that. I’m just applying your logic to the reality of the United States being a nation of immigrants who aren’t native to the land they inhabit. Therefore it is a nation built by cowards. People still migrate to the US today, btw. And they marry the descendants of the cowards so the cowardly traits will never die out there.

    Or maybe, just maybe, people who migrate to another country are just looking for ways to live a free and happy life? Maybe those to move some place else have better opportunities somewhere else and they prefer to live in peace with their family rather than being potentially thrown in concentration camps or killed by their government. It is so easy to sit there and say that people who move away from an area are cowards. Just like it is easy for me to make the conclusion that all of US is cowardly because all of them (except the natives) either migrated there or descend from generation upon generation of migrants. You are correct in objecting to that conclusion and calling it strange because that is indeed a strange thing to conclude. Just like it is strange of you to conclude that those who move away from the US currently are cowards. It is strange and a downright foolish statement to make.
