Sure, nothing wrong with the abstract concept, but this meme is explicitly directed at the “mommy” version.
Which does have some much wilder implications than nurse/maid stuff, you must admit. Such as the implication of someone wanting to fuck their mom.
But… Why does it have to be a mom-thing? Can’t the woman you’re presumably having sex with inhabit a non-mom pampering role?
Arguably what Russia seeks is not territory, but to destabilise the Ukraine government and re-establish a puppet state.
Which would mean both sides lose on this deal.
(Not saying it’s a good deal.)
As in they’re living better than in a welfare state? Or that they’re living in a “welfare state” and having a worse time than i.e. Americans?
My reference of a successful welfare state would be Scandinavia.
Jeg er gået i gang med HiFi rush, et slags rytme-kampspil, og det er ret lækkert. Meget imponeret over hvordan de integrerer rytmen i alle elementer, og hvor lækkert soundtracket er.
Så desuden Companion i biffen, en grineren popcornsgnasker med lækker produktion. Kan anbefales, lad være med at læse om den først.
If we’re working in the purely abstract, the welfare state is not necessarily ideal, but is there another currently implemented state ideology which serves its workers better? I.e. what would you compare it with which defeats it?
Which is the better embodiment of socialism:
Not saying a welfare state is #2, but I’m interested to hear if #1 is a better socialist state.
Owning the means of production is a means, not an end in itself. I’d argue the social democratic welfare state comes impressively close to achieving the ends.
Less dramatic in the reaction it caused, but potentially of even greater significance, was the suggestion by Demis Hassabis, CEO and co-founder of GoogleDeepMind, that AI could take on many of the tasks that only a quantum computer had been thought capable of tackling.
This might be true for early quantum computers, but once they leave the prototype stage, the problems they can solve are provably impossible for any classical machine with less than galaxy-sized hardware - even with AI or whatever tech we come up with in the future.
Unless the rules are something like “you fall in love with what your eyes first find”, and he was just alone with the potion.
I’ve bought each of the three latest Hitman titles on Steam exactly once at regular video game price and gotten all the content of each game, plus freely received the collection of all that content in the “World of Assassination” consolidation. Plus the free and amazing rogue-like expansion taking place across all maps from all games.
Seems like a really good deal to me.
As in
Completely fair - do you have a counterargument? I’d be interested in hearing the other side.
People don’t have a “natural frequency” is the real answer.
It would be naïve to fully rely on the old way of diplomacy, but it would mean certain defeat to do business on the terms of authoritarians. Trump wants unilateral, flashy diplomacy, because that’s where he wins. Small countries like Denmark need to work to bolster multilateral large-alliance rules based diplomacy, because that’s where they win.
By not rising to the bait, but instead presenting a calm, unified European response that there is no way Trump can buy Greenland, but that they’re happy to help him achieve whatever policy he’s using to justify this invasion talk, they at least have a chance of staving him off long enough that the whole thing fizzles out.
This approach also makes it a lot harder for Trump to actually make good on his threats. He’ll have to start a conflict with the whole EU, and he’ll end up looking like a guy who pisses on a cooperative ally rather than the strong man who beats down uppity foreigners.
And yes, that’s probably also fine by him, but it at least doesn’t play into his hand.
No-one is ignoring him. The Danish diplomacy corps is on high alert, and tons of effort is going into both securing support from Europe and trying to talk the US down.
They just don’t do diplomacy through Twitter. Public mud-throwing is Trump’s game, no need to fight him on his terms.
As a socialist citizen of a Nordic state, the Nordic model is a wonderful example of socialism in practice. The US, even with full DEI implementation, would be nowhere near as socialist as the Nordic countries.
Will being hated make what someone says more true?
For sure, I was just trying to make a little joke about the willful misunderstanding.
Like who?
