Thank you.

And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

Looks like needle felting. Seriously cute.

Loved the quote at the end…

One figure who won’t be sad to see the council go? “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. He said in a 2008 interview with the Advocate magazine that being on the receiving end of the council’s criticism was “like getting hate mail from Hitler.”

Nope.

And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.

Holy shit.

Yep. I love the way Uppsala has done, with recycling chutes above garbage bins. I’ve only seen this done on Södermalm in Stockholm, really wish for this to be implemented everywhere. I did send a proposal for a cheap solution above garbage bins in the subway to SL 20 years ago, never did receive a reply.

Works very well in Sweden, to the extent that it used to be popular for youth sports club members, pensioners and homeless to scour garbage bins and recycling containers for aluminium cans and PET bottles. Nowadays it’s frequently Roma here on three month stints that do the scouring, but still good nonetheless.

Anyhow, we recycle over 87 percent of plastic and aluminium drinks cans and bottles in Sweden.

Put this in nocontext

Thank you.

I have (had) two relatives succumb to dementia (Alzheimers) before they passed.

In one case, that person reverted back to the memories which were at the time of my early childhood. We reconnected in a way that shed off the later traumas for both of us, and while I still could not love that person, I appreciated them for who they were (or thought they were) at that time. And I could grieve their passing.

The other person was pretty much dead to everyone anyways, so yeah, once their memories were gone, they were already dead before their mortal coil passed.

ImageMagick?

Shaun of the dead.

Thank you for this tip. I didn’t think of it that way, I just kept going with the assumption that lactase pills just didn’t have any effect at all since I followed my doctor’s recommendations for specific amounts. I’ll try your tip (safely at home).

I have the same level as lactose and also wheat intolerance. I load and carry loperamide every time I leave a safe “toilet haven”. Lactase/lactrase pills don’t suffice. I also have some inconvenient and inconsistent allergies. So I am always at maximum 30 minutes from my home or hotel. In almost all European countries I have been to however, restaurants tended to know their shit. Literally. (Save Serbia and Bulgaria, could you not at least learn from your neighbours?)

She’s a beaut!

The combined long term effects seem to:

• Force women who got pregnant (through consensual activities or otherwise) to give birth
• Refuse to give sufficient maternal leave after birth
• Refuse support for medical costs for the family after birth
• Refuse family support such as affordable daycare
• Refuse free lunches for school kids
• Move money from public schools to charter/private
• Punish women for being unwed and working by taking their kids away
• Kids in the foster system tend to grow up maltreated and malnourished, so they might acquire anti-social behaviour to cope or survive
• These kids tend to end up as felons
• They provide legal slave labour for their state
• They are not allowed to vote
• … as if it mattered, as the voting places in the areas where they might live later have been decreased so much that they’d have to stand in line for a whole day and risk losing their eventual jobs (if they had one)
• Oops, got preggers by trying to keep her job, apartment or hoping for a relationship.

And the circle starts again.

Hey, stop gendertyping. With that surname, it’s surely ”their”, not ”his”.

No, I replied caustically at first to your last comments and then reread a lot of other comments and ops history and was disappointed in that we’ve gotten down to a Reddit level of toxicity. So I backed down and was just generally hurt at how we can be as societies. So please disregard all of this.
