Debatten på NRK akkurat fremstår som NM i ansvars-skyving. Sukk. Altså: Hvis legemidler var billigere ville vi kunne godkjenne dem, altså er det produsentenes feil at folk dør fordi vi må gi avslag på medisiner fordi de er for dyre... Øh, unnskyld? Hva behager?

Det er et veldig godt poeng. Jeg føler alltid at *jeg* er sinka fordi syklene kjører fortere enn meg i sykkelfeltet. Og større hjul ville gjort svingradiusen bedre, og muliggjøre bedre veigrep. Jeg har valgt slik fordi jeg ikke kan lade slike batterier trygt hjemme, ellers hadde jeg hatt min egen...

Jeg tror deffo vi trenger bedre lovverk her. Jeg setter pris på de scooterne, men jeg er også typ tysk nøyaktig med å følge det som er av regler, særlig vikeplikt, blinking og å aldri kjøre på fortauet. Jeg ser folk flest på hjul ignorere røde lys, vikeplikt osv, og mange farlige situasjoner oppstå.

Uffda 😣 vi får vel bare fortsette å gjøre narr av dem sånn som den gangen, kanskje de skjønner det til slutt...? 🤡

Men assa. Ser han ikke at han i grunn argumenterer *for* et tysk-inspirert system? Hele argumentasjonen der går jo på å knuse det svarte markedet (og derfor eliminere granatkasternes raison d'être)... 🙄 Men det er jo lettere å skyve på skylden i stedet for å gjøre noe selv, da, det er jo klart.

Det er helt grusomt å måtte sitte og se på at det er sånn der borte uten å kunne gjøre noe! F..., hadde jeg kunnet, hadde jeg whoosja alle som ville og trengte det ut og over dammen. Det er umenneskelig! Men landet har jo en skikkelig kjip historie jmf minoriteter... Det er jo dessverre ikke nytt. 😓

Jeg har en kompis der borte som er både trans og som er i ICEs målgruppe utseendemessig (med lovlig opphold!). I følge ham er det bare de økonomisk priviligerte som faktisk kan flykte (pass og dokumenter er for dyrt og de kan bli nekta, reisen er svindyr og inntekta alt for lav). Jeg er v. bekymra.

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark
For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

Can I like, defect to your side like the white people back in the days who were "captured" and refused to go back? 😅 Naw, but seriously, I wish this was a cultural thing here. My country is *incredibly* binary in a destructive way, and they don't even notice.

The fourth US republic is dying, guys. Comparisons to Germany and similar is appropriate. (I have an MA in German area studies.)What is now important is how everyone deals with it. My suggestion would be standing together and standing up for democratic values. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Only twice, eh? ^.^ I had a teenage hangup on Tolkien, I've read the entire HoME at least once, Silmarillion at least five times and LotR more than fifty times. 😂😅 I often get bored on long plane trips, and would love to get up to shenanigans with Merry and Pippin. It would not get boring, for sure.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Omg, you poor thing! Yeah, that's how it often goes. I'd recommend solid gardening/ builder's gloves at a minimum. I hope you heal up well and quickly ❤️

Yeah, I dropped that particular rescue organization after that for overall extremely bad practises and lack of foster home follow up and supplied equipment. ("Here! Have a wild cat! Byeee!"🚗💨)

My own cat I've trained to jump in on his own accord, for the record. But yeah, when I say feral, I mean feral, as in, no human contact at all before me. They had just been rescued from a cat colony, poor things.

Good tip! But catching Kitty by the scruff - especially Mama Cat - turned out to be *a lot* harder than you'd think. 😅 She bit me so hard and kept going nom-nom-nom. 😅😅 I couldn't feel the flesh under my thumb for days after that. Poor Mama. The two kittens were also razor blade buds. But yeah.

Oh, yeah, seconded. I was a foster home for a family of feral cats once. I needed to get them *into a carrier* to take them to the vet for vaccines. Oh, the bitey & scratchy. My arm was numb. Even the vet was impressed with my handling, and inside I was just like "don't look at my arms, dude..."

The moral of the story: vegans *can absolutely* eat more vinegums than everyone else, obviously. Agar agar ftw! Right? 😅😂 #deathbycandy #neardeathexperience #darwinawards #news #funny

Det er ganske spesielt å sitte og se på Dagsrevyen at noen en er dønn sikker på er en tidligere elev blir lagt i håndjern på direkten for å ha demonstrert mot den feige og håpløse fotballkampen mot Israel på Ullevål stadion. Buu!

Ikke noe rart de pakker seg inn når man vet av erfaring hvor raskt politiet er fram med tåregassen. Jeg har vært på en del demoer i ulik kontekst hvor uklare beskjeder og uprovosert aggresjon fra politiet har ført til avisoppslag om "kaotiske tilstander". 🫩🙄

Stakkars små mennesker, som er så redde i møte med verden at de bare kan føle hat! ❤️ Jeg tror de trenger å lese Bibelen igjen, det er et par punkter der ved Jesu lære de må ha glemt i farta. #gikkpåsøndagskolen
Og sånn a propos (denne har jeg posta en del i det siste):

I just want to give a shoutout in favour of 4thewords.com. I don't write fiction. I'm not a writer. But heck, I have an 8 day streak and have hit the Mama Tree. I don't care if my story might be rubbish. I beat the damn spiders. Haven't had this much fun with words in YEARS. 🤩👏👏

#KRFU i #DAX18: vi vil heller at folk skal gå tur med barna sine enn å ha det gøy med sine voksne venner i blant. Javel. Det kan du jo gjøre når du blir gammel nok til å ha kids. Men heldigvis har ikke alle ønske om å leve sånn som du.
