Yeah strangely enough none of my grandparents who had decently sized pensions ever decided that retirement was too boring and that working was actually the thing they liked. Somehow they all found other ways to keep themselves occupied either gardening, helping with grandchildren, traveling the world or just reading a whole lot.

I'm technically GenZ (born in late 90's) and graduated university in 2021. I landed my first job in January 2022 and managed a grand total of 1 paycheck before the massive inflation happened when Europe decided to commit economic suicide. Felt REALLY good to finally join the workforce after being a struggling student and then immediaely getting it taken away from me, since inflation more or less eroded all the purchasing power I had gained by going from student to worker.

I mean, the Blueanon / BlueMAGA types are doing it for a walking corpse who tries to kill them, and the original MAGA types did it for the most queeny and venal man on the planet. So it seems like there is just something deeply wrong with the yanks at the moment.

The worst part is that I legitimately liked hearing the electoralist brainworms of virgil-phone and that MF'er straight up disappeared

The Sub also got big because the rest of Reddit fucking hated it.

Danish state media is reporting on this with a strange tone in their article. It seems like they want to scold the swedes for "not doing enough", since the pipeline was blown up close to our territorial waters, while also not encouraging the swedes to resume the investigation, as it would likely reveal too much.

Including famously a bunch of SocDems, who have like a handful of seats. I've always wanted to talk to someone from that specific party about their ideology. since Social Democrats in my country are just right wingers with slightly less aggressive marketing around their racism.

Yeah, but that is also not really the allegation being made. The allegation against the CPC is that it's suppressing religious expression and doing so in a way that specifically seeks to eradicate the "traditional" culture of this specific ethnic minority. Most of the bluechecks who write about this "cultural erasure / genocide" also point to stuff like the lack of minarets on mosques, which technically means that Denmark is also doing genocide, since we have a strict ban on minarets specifically, which also includes the broadcasting of the Adhan/call to prayer.

The red scare legacy definitely helped. But a whole lot of the current crop of libs somehow also constantly seem to confuse the USSR for the Russian Republic, hence all the blueanon memes about the GOP being communist, and the pictures of Putin with a hammer and sickle.

Was it the V-22 or the F-35 that was referred to as the greatest piece of anti-colonialist technology since the AK-47?

And I thought loans in my country were expensive

Yeah, but the Bush coup was done through the "proper" channels, rather than through a bunch of yahoos who took a shit in a trashcan and tazed their balls.
