I thought all mental disorders made people abusers in your opinion? Do you think everyone with a mental disorder should be killed? Narcissists, autistic people and people with depression or post traumatic stress alike?

So you are just going to state your false dichotomy fallacy outright? Yes different disorders have different symptoms and not all have the same effect on social functions. Just as I wouldn’t expect an amputated leg and a toothache to be the same in regards to their effect on running speed. Not all physical illnesses “either do or don’t make it more difficult to run” so why would all mental conditions “either make or not make one abusive”?

Really? That’s really surprising to me. I’m from Denmark where we use 24h time a lot so I’m used to it, but except for edge cases it’s easy to switch between them. Using Fahrenheit however is a struggle. I have to convert it every time, I have no idea about the temperature until I see it in celsius really. I guess it comes down to me having been exposed to both clock formats but only really on temperature unit.

My first thought was that the kid just aced their autism test, but I suppose that depends on what a failure means there

I feel like it’s fair to say that if you want god’s forgiveness you must accept mans judgement in cases of abuse. If their god’s salvation is worth less than however many years of prison they’d get, then that’s their choice. I don’t want them to be able to shrug off the guilt and continue the abuse with peace of mind just so they may also escape the punishment they think would otherwise await them after death.

That may be true but for those literally being threatened with war it would be stupid not to act on the threats anyway. And your speculation that it’s a smoke screen sounds really dismissive the countries that now have to accept that the US might be or become the greatest security threat in decades.

I dual booted my study pc. Well technically I did. I didn’t use windows for a few months without thinking about it and by then I was too afraid of windows corrupting my linux if I ever booted it. So I effectively just had a Linux machine with half half the disk space. Never had a problem with it though.

The first one’s probably won’t be. But I don’t think it’s too far off. I expect the first ones to be some random non white people who commited some indefensible crimes, or at least are accused of doing so. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go for people with terrorism charges so the next batch can be accused of terrorism as well to make the leap seem smaller. That they now define vandalism against tesla as terrorism will just help murky the waters to make the life sentence without judge or jury seem more palatable than it is every step of the way.

Respect? Nah we’re literally calling the US a circus and rawing mad in our news articles now.
— rest of the world

That’s the thing with calling the imprisonment in a foreign country “deportation”. It really muddies the water and makes it very easy for people to have an image of people being sent home, when in fact they send them to life in prison, so bad even the US doesn’t allow it yet. I hope they mean the former but fear the latter is more likely.

You fooled me into thinking this post was just a hidden 4974 reference. Really cool write up, I didn’t question it being an actually existing article until reading the replies.

Unfortunately, with all the capitulations that happened, I find it more likely that other firms will preemptively try to get in his good graces or at least keep a low profile if they haven’t already represented an enemy of Trump.

I mean you have had more constitutional crises each month since Trump’s inauguration than you had in a full presidential term before that. The massive power grab the executive is performing is one thing, but that the president at the same time cannot be trusted to comply with court orders and openly goes after critics and his opposition.

What would you call a ruler that cannot be prosecuted for anything they do, weaponizes the courts against dissenting voices, turns their back on allies in favor of dictators, and whose closest allies break laws regulating them weekly without consequences? This is the reality currently. All that really differentiates him from a clear dictator is also breaking the law on term limits, not leaving office when required as he already tried and failed in his first term.

As far as I remember it was a two part protection. Any official act, no matter the intent, is protected. So as one dissenting justice pointed out, ordering seal team six to assassinate a political rival could be protected as it falls within the powers of the president to direct the military. Besides that, any criminal action outside of that overly broad protection still cannot be prosecuted using any evidence that comes from the actions of the president in their capacity as such. So if the president has a phone call logged in official records in which they outline or perform an illegal act, those logs will be inadmissible in court, only evidence reltaed to the president as a private individual is admissible. The stormy daniels case had to throw out evidence because of this, despite being related to crimes committed before the election even.

Obligatory disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and working off of memory. I might misunderstand or misremember some of this.

We have something similar although only in certain dialects of danish. The following is a valid sentence meaning the island in the river: æ ø i æ å

Ø - the 27th letter of the danish alfabet
Ø - the danish word for island

Yeah I recognized the german as being equivalent to the danish bjørnetjeneste, which also means bear service or slightly more accurately a bear favor.

Trump has in short ordered all mentions of scientifically accurate information on gender and sexuality removed from government websites.

The South Schleswig Danish minority have been mentioned in every new year’s speech I can remember. It’s basically part of acknowledging everyone who feels ties to the kingdom of Denmark. Near the german border there is a danish minority in Germany and a german minority in Denmark. And to my understanding as someone not living near there it is a respected cultural thing on both sides. It is not something about laying claim to it. In this particular speech the very next sentence is about the king and queen feeling just what you quoted during their visit those places that year and how they are looking forward to visiting the Faroese islands. For context the king was crowned in 2024 so this was commentary on the first royal visit of the new reagents.

As others have pointed out they have valid grievances and good reason to want independence. As a dane I only learned about the non-consensual and secretive implantation of UID’s in women and girls that had been going on a few decades ago. Learning about that and other systemic issues they have dealt with I can not begrudge them wanting independence. Whether they seek it or decide to stay, I hope they have a brighter future ahead of them and that Denmark will support that as best we are able.
