The worst is when windows doesn’t even show that it’s doing anything but is still hogging 100% cpu and most of the ram for some random background service for several minutes after booting.

To tag a user: go to their profile, click the 3 dots top right, add tag.

I never click them anyway. If the meme isn’t wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don’t need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.

He wants a lot of stuff, but it rarely turns out how he expects.

In 2016 it was coal. This time he wants oil.

How did the coal production go since 2016? Did he save the coal businesses? That’s a rhetorical question.

He “drill baby drill” is a talking point which he does to please the donors from the industry. They might even be allowed to drill more, but the oil can’t be refined in USA and it can’t be sold in USA. You know what happens when you have a surplus of a product. The price will drop. Don’t confuse this with the gasoline price because US oil can’t be refined to gasoline. No, it’s the crude oil price that’ll drop.

Remember 2020 when the oil price was negative following Trumps last term? That’ll happen again if they go ahead and drill more. The oil industry probably won’t do it though, just like the coal mines didn’t suddenly dig more coal last time.

Because USA spilled it there?

Why wouldn’t they? Pension funds invest in everything

My pension company gives me the option to choose a risk profile to limit how they are allowed to invest my money. The safest investments aren’t always the best over time, so currently I have a medium risk which will be sloped down as I get closer to retirement. I could also get a more direct control of their investments, but that requires a lot more time and worry than I’m willing to use.

Ridicule them.

In Denmark it happened rather quickly and less than 200 years ago. Soo many things happened in the late 1800s after the abandonment of absolute monarchy in 1849, that I’m not going to pretend that I can explain it all in a comment.

So… while Denmark has a long history with vikings and kings and stuff, our constitution is relatively new and written around the same time as Karl Marx and the industrial revolution redefining what work is.

If you ever get around Copenhagen, the workers museum is well worth a visit for an insight into the specific events that lead to the democratic socialist government. It was a long hard process and tightly tied to the history of worker’s unions.

Very briefly told, it was a worldwide class war. The events in Scandinavia were heavily influenced by the “bloody week” in Paris in 1871 and the establishment of the world wide organisation First International.

It culminated in a several months long lock out in 1899, which eventually gave workers the right to organize for collective agreements. This was only made possible with support from workers from all over the world.

One of the most amazing things about it was how they even managed to organize anyone at all in a time where all workers were dirt poor and only the owning class had any freedom and income at all. The founders of the first unions realized that it would be an uphill battle and were brutally honest about it. They told workers “It might take several generations to succeed, but it needs to be done, so that your grand children will have a chance for a better life.”, and yet they managed to organize almost everyone.

It succeeded though and also much faster. One of the three founders of the socialist democratic party lived long enough to see it become the largest political party in the country in 1924 - a position it held until 2001.

Having their first child. You’ll never be ready.

Yes, I have kids. No regrets. It definitely gave me a different perspective on life in ways that I could never had experienced in any other way.

No one is ever fully ready for it. It’s not comparable to anything else, so it’s basically impossible to reach the decision to have children in any logical way. It’s a leap of faith. I thought of it as something that I had to do in order to experience as much of life as I can while I can. It’s been well worth any amount ofmoney or time that I’ve spent on it. I’d do it again if I was ten years younger.

Are any of these lovable Americans in the room with us now?

If your opponent plays strictly by a point system, like a computer might, and if the piece is threatened, it might be beneficial to keep the value low to trick the oppont to do something else, while you keep the useless pawn as an obstruction, which could somehow limit your opponent’s future moves.

Anyway, it’s apparantly not allowed.

Have you tried the grapefruit technique?

Mercedes already has some very nice EVs with very long ranges. They’re far ahead of the competition, but they also cost 10 times more. You can litteraly buy 10 other EVs or a friggin mansion for the same as one Mercedes.

It’s about the half flags isn’t it?

Thank you. I will immediately write this down in my little black book of things that I don’t give a shit about.

It would be an interesting experiment to hand out a lot of money to random people and then track how they behave statistically. Everyone has the potential to be an asshole, but it requires a lot of money to prove that one is not.

It’s a series on Netflix.

This got me thinking. What about people who get rich by luck, winning a lottery or something?

They aren’t corrupt, but they’ll surely turn into assholes anyway, when they justify their luck to themselves and start doing asshole actions to guard their precious money. It’s the same thing with inheritance or getting lucky in business. They’ll talk about “self-made” success, even if they just bought a lottery ticket.

In my opinion, money does corrupt people. It’s just through ordinary greed. Litteral corruption or cheating isn’t even necessary to see this effect that money has.
