Norway did it in 2015, and it seems to have been a success.
There has been surprisingly little debate about it here in Denmark. I haven’t heard a single argument against it.
It should be noted that the draft is for training only, and that it’s possible for pacifists to opt out of the military training by doing work for other institutions.
Personally I think it might be a great help for modernizing the military, because they’ll need to rethink the old “one size fits all” procedures.
It’s a response to Neil Young’s songs which criticized the racist south.
Basically, it’s what-about-ism in song form, mocking the liberals for being upset with Nixon.
I refuse to believe that a majority of Americans are fascists.
Things would look very different if they had a democracy.
What they need is a democratic election, without gerrymandering, without voter suppression, done on paper ballots with a pencil, on a holiday, with all ballots counted and checked.
You know the quote: “You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place.”
Same thing applies to politics. They’re doing illegal things that people didn’t vote for. There’s no way this can be fixed by voting when they don’t respect anything anyway.
States need to secede and form a different government.

Jeg kender en der arbejdede for Verisure i den periode. De fik kun en meget lille fast løn og så provision oveni. De skulle sælge sælge sælge for overhovedet at kunne lave en almindelig månedsløn.
Den slags setup resultaterer selvfølgelig i løgn og bedrag.
It’s part of a larger plan to get cars out of the central city, which is plagued by rush hour traffic and expensive parking.
The point is to get the commuters out of the cars outside of the city by allowing them to ride the train for free from the commuter parking outside the city at the freeway and into the city.
Poverty isn’t an issue in this regard. The public transport is already cheap and the entire city has bike lanes everywhere. I wouldn’t want to own a car there if I lived there, but for a lot of people it’s necessary in order to commute to the city.
If I could drop out of everything for 29 days, I wouldn’t come back at all.
Art has always had that issue. Is a potato print worse than a hand drawn figure?
Sometimes you need to know the material or technique to appreciate the effort.
It also applies outside of art. It’s not always the end product that is important. We can appreciate things for being more difficult than necessary. Like the game Roller Coaster Tycoon being impressive because it was coded in assembly, or the Olympic guy who no-scoped in the shooting competition etc.
If the AI prompt is the effort, it should be appreciated as such, instead of comparing the end product against other techniques. We also don’t compare airbrushed grafitti artwork to oil paintings, because even if the end product of both is a neat picture, it’s impossible to judge against each other.
I think it’s just a follow up on the recent NATO meeting where everyone decided to suck Trump’s cock to make him shut up and play along.
Troels Lund Poulsen is the perfect tool for that.
I’m sorry to tell you that hair dye, plastic glitter and make-up does not come from the ecologic goth homestead.
It came from the mall. Sorry.

I still learn things about WW2 about how fucked the whole thing really was.

That’s Robert Carlyle. Scottish actor, best known from Trainspotting or The Full Monty.
The movie is called “28 week later”. I haven’t seen it. It’s about zombies I think.
There’s an interesting documentary from 2020 on the real life biodome as well.

I remember it being a big deal in the 90s science magazines, but I never knew it was really just a bunch of hippies doing it.
I’ve seen the evolution of the one to the right. It now has a USB connection on the tail.
The caps was a problem yes. Not just littering, but also in sorting for recycling, where they’d often end up in the wrong place.
It obviously depends on where and how it’s done, but the thing I’ve heard is that due to (the lack of) weight and size the bottle caps would end up in the paper badges, which would ruin the paper from being recycled. It’s better if it follows the bottle. PET bottles (including caps) are shredded, washed and used for new bottles.
Same thing happened to the pull tabs on aluminium cans. Those used to be separate too.
If you’re a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?
Less than? Hell no.
5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn’t and never will be.
Without 5 you wouldn’t even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.
Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it’s also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn’t name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody, that’s who.
Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That’s right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.
You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.
25 is a shitty composite number. It’s shitty because it’s not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors: One, itself and 5 (of all things, duh…)
That’s because it’s square and boring. Does it even look square to you? This uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What’s the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I’d definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They’re so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.
So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.
