For mig fører alle rationaler om hvordan et godt samfund ser ud til en stemme på venstrefløjen, særligt når man ser hvad der adskiller Danmark fra resten af verden.

Det bliver Carl Valentin fra SF, synes han er ekstremt ligefrem i sin politiske kommunikation, og hans argumenter er baseret på solide data langt hen ad vejen. Han tager rapporterne seriøst og handler derefter.

Især synes jeg noget af det vigtigste lige nu er et grundlæggende opgør med landbruget, som tilsyneladende koster os mange penge, mindsker mængden af proteinholdig mad og ødelægger vores natur. Der virker Carl som en stærk stemme.

Denmark is amazing. Especially in spring, when the beech trees sprout leaves in the most delicate green color.

Things just work here, food is good, the music scene is great, government is highly trustworthy, lots of jobs, lots of welfare. Yes, it could be better still, but I don't know many places where it works nearly as well as here.

Unclear, hence all these people going around asking "what is a woman"

The chaos factions are devoted to passion, life, knowledge and pleasure, and the Imperium are devoted to the corpse of a lying megalomaniac telling everyone they are forbidden from having a good time.

Anything else you hear is propaganda.

In AC Valhalla there is at least the option to turn on "guaranteed assassinations", which I gotta say I find a lot more immersive.

It's an open source document preparation system. Essentially a typesetting language that produces good looking pdfs. It's the de facto standard for e.g. scientific publications.

It's not as simple as a "what you see is what you get" editor like Word, but a lot more powerful. It can be relatively simple to get started with by messing with a template on Overleaf.com, but it has quite a learning curve if you want to typeset documents from scratch.

Feels like a deep urge, short circuiting your brain to satisfy it. Like hunger or thirst. The longer I go without sexual attention, the more my brain starts to interpret everything as an opportunity for sex. When I satisfy it, it brings joy and release and calm. It's fun, intimate and satisfy needs for closeness and touch.

It also feels deeply connected to a bunch of psychological stuff like the need for approval, gender affirmation, power dynamics, competitiveness and more.

I guess that's the joke - this is so stupid and obviously won't work, but that perspective is subverted when it turns out to actually work, causing humour.

I quite like it.

TBF imaginary time is a math trick and not something that actually progresses. It lets us apply results from statistical physics to quantum field theory through a Wick rotation.

Does being a Jewish Palestinian somehow make you Israeli? What then if you're a non-Jewish Israeli? 🤔

It's base 20 like in France, plus the quirk that we have an ordinal numeral way of saying half integers, i.e. 1.5 is "half second", 2.5 is "half third", 4.5 is "half fifth". So 92 is said as "two and half fifth times twenty". We've since made the "times twenty" implicit for maximum confusion, so it's just said as "two and half fifths".

Also, the ordinal numeral system for halves is only really used for 1.5 these days, so the numbers don't really make sense to anyone. When speaking to other Scandinavians, we often just say "nine ten two".

Why don't we just change it to the more sensible system then? Because language is stubborn.
