Sanctions and kicking troops out would all but guarantee a US intervention, especially because we respect the 1951 agreement which means the US has a direct right to build and maintain bases on Greenland and have done so for 75 years. We’re trying to respect international law, not undermine it.

If you think the EU or Denmark sanctioning or taking aggressive action against the US does anything but bring misery to ourselves you’re politically naive. It’d be the exact pretext the hawks surrounding the president needs.

Now, if anything does happen re Greenland I expect we’ll start selling off US bonds, as would many other countries. That usually has Trump backing down pretty quickly as interest rates rise.

That said, Greenland is a semi-sovereign nation within the Danish commonwealth, so they can choose to accept a US deal offering them e.g. a free association agreement or something like that, but most recent polls show 85% of Greenlanders are against a deal with the US.

Imagine watching the US president right now and thinking “Yep, that’s who I’ll associate myself with!”.

I was circumcised at 40 for medical reasons, due to phimosis. That was a blessing after several years of issues with having normal intercourse and having little operations done that were ultimately ineffective.

Anyway, it’s definitely different and I am much less sensitive. I definitely prefer being uncircumcised, just not, you know, with phimosis.

Maybe we should have, but it was raining and also all parties agreed on it, so who would we turn to?

In Denmark a state pension forbids you from working, yes. You have to pay back the pension for every hour worked.

Well, I hope you find a model that works. Though, with the benefits of having a job also being social and having a purpose, I think I’d prefer having the elderly stay on the job market is some respect on reduced hours and so on.

It’s not a weird flex, but I don’t know how you’re going to balance your budgets with that early a retirement age. Or maybe you don’t have the same challenges with the large generations retiring now that we do?

In Denmark, my pension age is 70. It seems wild that the French are rioting over a rise from 62 to 64…?

I don’t know man, for me ‘burger’ also refers to the shape. Fry up a lovely mushroom or whatever and add it instead of the meat and I would call it a burger still.

Language is the only truly democratic system we have, despite the best efforts of e.g. Academie Française the language develops as the speakers want it to, on average.

This legislation seems symbolic at best, and like a nonstarter at worst. And I dobt think it makes anyone’s life better…

In Danish it’s definitely a shape, so… Which underlines the fact that this sort of legislation is pretty ridiculous in a multilingual society like the EU.

Please also remember, as per Saussure, that for the language user only the present exists. Etymologies are curious facts at best and doesn’t necessarily mean anything for current usage.

Last I checked it included ‘sausage’ too, but that’s a shape??

Denmark… I don’t think we have a lot of serious national problems. Our main problem seems to be climate change, a global issue, and our allies in the US having lost their marbles.

According to my 6 year old that’s a definite yes!

You can literally just upload a library of documents to github or another repo service like codeberg. That’s basically what a code project is, a bunch of files.

Thanks :) My reference is Denmark, not the US, though. But I got it still!

So, knowing little of German politics, what’re the main issues that the country faces?

Well that’s the deal, that’s asylum. There are options to stay here in Denmark, but it’s difficult, of course.

There are plenty of cases where the Danish authorities make dumb or cruel decisions, like claiming Somalia is safe but refusing to send inspectors to check due to safety concerns, but I don’t think this is necessarily one of them.

We always get criticized, often rightly so, but it seems like the new regime is pretty stable and a lot less genocidal than Assad’s regime. So depending on the region and the ethicity of the Syrians they refer to it should be fine to repatriate them… right?

So am I 🙂 for many of the similar services for plane tickets I still use them, since they’re so much more convenient than booking yourself, and sometimes have access to better priced tickets than I do so it evens out.

This is a beta, so we’ll see where it ends up going i guess.
