  1. You still seem to think Trump is sane or rational. Hint: He isn't. Intellectually challenged and used to bully his way through life thanks to daddy Trumps inherited billions, he has no mental processes for dealing with adversity. He has the empathy of a cobblestone, the intellect of of a jellyfish and the cognitive abilities of a chimpanzee (although that would be an insult to some 4 year olds, who are smarter than chimps) If he can't have his way with something, his preferred option is to 1) break it and 2) pass the blame on someone else .All because he is a genius and a businessman without peer (trying to add the US to his list of major bankruptcies). But the worrying part is the tendency to destroy things he can't have. He has no concept of tomorrow, much less consequences of the destruction he orders done everywhere. Hypothetical speculation: Lets say the US somehow miraculously survives his presidency, how many years (and billions of dollars) do you think it would take to fully renovate the White House and turn it into a classy, stylish residence again. I mentioned it previously, half in fun, half seriously, he is the type of person that would blow up Mount Rushmore to make room for a new statue of himself. The biggest and the bestest statue the world has ever seen! So big and so best even the Colossus of Rhodes would turn green with envy, that's how best and biggest it will be! On a more lighthearted note, Denmark and Canada are not the only countries with a knack for sorting out borders
  2. Denmark just har elections. Besides a messy patchwork of small parties, which will spend months negotiating who gets to lead a coalition of the reluctant, it was also the youngest parliament ever elected in Denmark. "Young" is of course relative, but it was the first time the average age was below 50. The gender split is oddly enough also almost 50/50. I tried to find a newspaper source to link to, but they are all behind paywalls. Dang capitalists!
  3. To people with an IQ above 75, yes. But it's the Mango Mussolini we are talking about. Sense is even harder to find than an honest politician (not saying impossible, accidents do happen)
  4. You mean the same Anglo-saxons that were the ancestors of the Vikings. Not really the vikings fault that Anglo-saxon mercenaries turned traitors suffered a bad case of arrested development and didn't keep up with the times. The homelands of the Angles and the Saxons (as well as the Jutes and Frisians) kept evolving Edit:
  5. Honestly? If I lived on the US west coast, I would worry more about the San Andreas Fault than climate change I was thinking about it when I lived in Wellington (New Zealand). That street going through the middle of the city with the brass plaques showing where the water front once was (until an earthquake rearranged local geography). Those earthquakes happens at regular intervals and iirc both ones in California and Wellington are late for their next appointment.
  6. I wonder what the target audience is for that (obviously not me)?... 🤔
  7. Heck, I consider Denmark a belligerent in the war in Ukraine for providing material support for one of the parties. I'm fairly sure the only reason supply lines haven't been attacked here, is because Russia isn't ready for a total war with what is left of Nato yet. Worst part is, I wouldn't even blame Russia for doing so if it made strategic sense, cutting off supplies to their opponent.
  8. I thought this was rather cute... hotel guest starting a challenge with the hotel staff
  9. Look mom, it didn't explode! 😀 I don't know why, but somehow I imagine the end of the world being, not going out with a bang, but the wooshing sound of a plunger in a kitchen sink.
  10. How can you not be a belligerent if you provide material support and bases of operation for a participant in a war? I would say that "auto includes" you in the list of belligerents.
  11. Many people are familiar with British humour. However, German humour, especially political satire, goes under the radar outside central Europe. Personally I find it brilliant (besides Das Heute Show, look up Volker Pispers political satire for something brutal, going back to the time before the first Iraq war)
  12. There is a long history of attacking vulnerable targets if it weakens your opponents economic base. None of those on the receiving end did anything to the attacker other than being part of an economic base. From the razing of farms and complete depopulation (i.e. butchering the villagers) of villages during the hundred years war to "pre-emptive" actions like Mers-el-Kebir to make sure you don't have to fight a potential adversary later. Real-politik has no morals, only objektives.
  13. Trump: "Mission accomplished. Nobody talks about the Epstein files right now" Netanyahu: "Mission accomplished. Nobody is talking about my corruption charges and looming prison sentence" Russia: "Mission accomplished. Oil and gas prices are sky rocketing" ... Feel free to add to the list. Sad fact is, none of the two main instigators have neither motivation nor ideas how to end the war now. Putin just laughing at the sideline, counting the Petroyuans he is getting
  14. Speaking of Madhouse... picture spam time again Out intrepid heroes have passed the checkpoint to the Northern Plateau and experience level scaling in real time. Starting with little lizards over mountain sized demons they thought were in hills in the forest The risk of being the party's tank (a role referred to as a "front liner" in the setting. For all his fast reflexes, Stark still keeps a close eye on his opponent. Fern decides she needs her boyfriend to pout at for a bit longer No place is safe anymore and getting rest turns into a real problem, leading to days without breaks or sleep "Grab the elf" (slightly paraphrased from an old movie) They eventually find an inhabited house, where they can spend the night. The owner asks a favour of them, as a monster has set up camp nearby and now kills everyone and everything, disrupting trade and travel. The party agrees as they are heading that direction anyway. They run into the fellow as it's busy eating a merchant (with appropriate slobbering noises as it licks the rest of the merchant up) This one is on a different from what they have encountered so far. Using physical weapons instead of magic, supernatural speed and strength, it dodges spells as well as Starks axe Frieren, thinking sniping it from a flying position might be a good idea, stood corrected. Barely managing to put up a protective barrier a fraction of a second before that mantis shrimp blow hits her ...and sends her flying like a tennis ball that just got served by Agassi Fern fares no better, as she now shares the emotional stress of a cricket ball hit by a very large bat swung by a very strong batter Stark, for all his failures when it comes to dating, is still gentleman enough to absorb some of Ferns kinetic energy, before she smashes into a tree. Any cricket catcher would be proud of that catch While the monster was busy playing with the kids, the old lady herself decides to shoot off the monsters right arm which just seems to agitate it even more. Stark jumps the guy and tries to strangle it. Ever the optimist. But, it leaves it exposed in a position where it can no longer dodge incoming shots... death star laser is fully charged Fern seems to already having made her mind up about Stark. He's not going to get away from her... and puts a protective bubble around him, so he doesn't get incinerated by Frieren's attack Stark is reconsidering his life choices 😃 Next up are legendary level liquors and legendary level trolling by bored elves
  15. A few 40k inspired songs Bequins song (she's the "pariah") It is good to hate. Everyone should hate more.
