One would hope work would be significantly less miserable under socialism though

Never trust anything you read on the internet

Under capitalism workers have to put up with jobs that makes them miserable. Otherwise they will become unemployed and even more miserable.

This is the best, most efficient and most rational economic system ever.

Everett is just being a misogynist asshole.

If it was just about being loyal to his wife he wouldn’t be slinging insults at a woman who did nothing to wrong him outside of inviting him to a slightly naughty party game.

BOOH! Get new material!

We have sold the same glass of lemonade back and forth between eachother 8 million times so somehow we both have negative tax rates now!

he is widely disliked within the party

Which is why they keep electing him

he controls the levers that keep him in place.

He is the president goddammit! Controlling levers is what presidents do.

Yes. It is very believable that the guy who holds a doctorate in Marxism is unable to explain the concept of dialectic materialism. I am sure this is a very serious and credible text

The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.

With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.

Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.

I love the idea of a modern runic script, suitable for contemporary Scandinavian languages. Would you care to elaborate on your thoughts on this?

Whatever type of chilli mayo I feel like making that day. Or remoulade, the sweet Danish mayo-based condiment with chopped pickles and curry powder.

Someone I knew was living in an old building with old-timey fuse boxes placed outside the apartments. When she got tired of her idiot neighbours partying on a weekday night for the millionth time despite being asked to dial it down she finally had enough and went to the fuse box and took away all the fuses to the neighbour’s apartment.

She never had trouble with noise again.

Apart from decommissioning local Nazis to a permanent end during and after WWII, what exactly is it that the three Baltic chihuahuas are accusing the evil communists of doing to them? As far as I know things in the Baltics were normal and peaceful there when they were part of the USSR.

You never hear anything but vague blanket statements, assuming the ontological evil of the USSR. Is there any concrete acts or practices or policies or events the anti-communist crybabies point to to demonstrate how mean the “Soviet occupation” was to them?

No EU flag? No Taiwan flag? No German or French flags? No CIA logo?

In Danish we have “you can’t cut the hair off a bald guy”

I’ve received checks three or four times in my life. I’ve never written one. As a kid I had a physical paper booklet for the savings account I put my birthday money into. The only way I can get to own a house is by winning the lottery. I remember when small shops had manual credit card machines that would transfer your account details to a slip of paper. I also remember when local stores would give credit to people from the community. I get low-key annoyed when I have to use cash instead of digital payments. My retirement plan is not to retire.

Is there a lib-friendly source for this (preferably a New York Times article, Obama speech, Disney movie or similar)?

Remove the stuff about the Jewish conspiracy and you more or less get what liberals believe today. Especially the thing about how socialism “denies the individual worth of the human personality” is treated like a common sense truism by even the most well-meaning radlibs.

Yes. While cannabis is unproblematic to most users, some cannabis users experience substance abuse disorders that are hurting their health and social relations. They should receive qualified and empathetic care, not condemnation and criminalisation.
