Pure poetry <3

This bothered me too much, I caught it here so you don’t have to.

I use a buff to keep warm in winter, couldn’t imagine wearing one in summer!

a backwards hat to protect from the sun realistically offers dubious protection unless you are always walking directly away from the sun.

I typically flip it depending on sun direction. I’ve found the neck to be most critical though, I don’t seem to burn as easily on the sides/front.

I was out hiking a couple years ago when I suddenly realised that I had become the guy with shades and a backwards cap. It’s practical: I want to prevent a sunburn in my neck (the backwards cap) and also not have the sun in my eyes (shades). I spent some time coming to terms with it, but now that’s how I’m regularly equipped in harsh sun in the mountains. It’s simply the optimal solution to sun protection while hiking (I’ve tried wide-brimmed hats, but they get caught in the wind too easily in my experience).

“America!”

• Attack and bomb a country during ongoing negotiations.
• Wipe out a truckload of their air defences
• Use air superiority to bomb thousands of civilians
• Propose ceasefire without having achieved any political goals at all
• The country immediately starts rebuilding their decimated air defences to prevent you from bombing them during the ongoing negotiations

I’ve found myself sitting alone in my car in an abandoned parking lot just listening to some music and wondering what I’m doing with my life. The strange thing is that, by all objective measures, I have a really good life. I have an SO that I love more than anything in the world, and which is fantastic to me, I have parents and siblings that I have great relationships to, I have a job that I really enjoy, and I have good friends. Despite all that, I sometimes get this need to just “disappear” for a little while and isolate myself while listening to sad music. I don’t really enjoy it either, it’s more like some kind of cathartic feeling, like theres some kind of sadness in me that occasionally just wells up and needs to be given some space. It’s quite rare (maybe once a year or something on that order), but it does happen. It’s actually really nice to see that this is something relatable - I’ve never really spoken to anybody about it.

Shootings will continue until morale improves.

I’ve seen an interview with a guy that said, with a straight face, “for legal reasons I’m not allowed to disclose to you whether or not I have an NDA with <company>”.

I’m pretty sure they make NDAs where you’re not allowed to disclose the other party as well.

I know people that were actively hoping for twins and got them , twin-twin!

Shame on you! If those poor kids facists could read they would be very upset!

The sound of a baby’s scream is an incredible feat of nature. In a way, it’s almost sad that we lose the ability to make that sound at a certain age.

Looks at litterally half the population: “This is a minority”.

I read in the news that the driver of the car was dragged out of the car and shot by bystanders.

If anything, I’m happy they forced us to train to fight with gas masks when I was in the army. It’s clear that russia won’t shy from anything…

Not only are there warnings: Around a month ago, a fund that has funded some students at top US universities quite literally evacuated several of the students they were funding.

We’re talking about Norwegian students in the US getting a call telling them to “get your passport, and get on the first possible flight home, don’t worry, we’re paying.” This was just around when people with certain skin colours, political opinions, or sexual preferences started getting snatched off the streets.

That’s when I realised how absolutely fucked shit has gotten over there. When Norwegian citizens on student visas were literally told to evacuate the country.

I read about some military experts that were interviewed by a Norwegian paper. They essentially said that Israel is doing its best to chip away at Irans nuclear capabilities from several sides: Targeting everything from scientists to electric infrastructure, to centrifuges and the facilities themselves.

However, they seemed to think it was completely unrealistic that Israel would be able to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons by military means. They even speculated that even the Israelis don’t see it as realistic, but that they’re attacking in an attempt to delay the inevitable and hopefully drag the US into the war before it happens.

A point they made is that the facility at Fordow is too deep to be reached even with the world’s heaviest bunker-busters. Iran is apparently also working on a new facility that will also be ≈ 100 m deep in the mountain.

When the government unlawfully incarcerates people, whose responsibility is it to step up and free them?

The social contract that is a state gives the state a monopoly on violence, allowing the state to revoke individual freedom if an individual breaks certain laws. If the state starts abusing that monopoly you have a certain window to oppose it before opposition becomes hopeless.

Once the government has shown that it will incarcerate dissidents, it’s only a matter of time until enough dissidents are incarcerated that no one else sticks their neck out. “Right now” is the window you have until this happens. The government’s monopoly on violence needs to be broken when they abuse it, which means today. Explicitly, this means that if unlawfully incarcerated people are not broken out by force, this only gets worse.

The most purebred of steeds, Mr. Sheeran is.
