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.

It is almost impossible for a character in a Hollywood film to speak with a Slavic accent and smoke a cigarette without also being some sort of asshole.

But also “if someone slices you across the stomach with a big sword you don’t bleed you just hold your stomach and fall over while going ‘arrghh’”

Magic computers that can sharpen and enlarge a grainy CCTV frame enough that you can read what people are typing on their phone.

The American president that goes “gee-haw we really need to stop Voldemort so the people of Agrabad can enjoy democracy and human rights!”

The divorced single-parent cop who struggles to make family life work despite being good at solving big scary crime.

The “we just want to do senseless evil for no apparent reason” terrorists

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!

Capitalism drives innovation!

The innovation:

If you live somewhere doesn’t that by definition make it your home?

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?

I feel like too few people truly grasps the body horror of teeth. Those fuckers are terrifying.

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.

When I went to university, our lecturer would literally pass around a flash drive with the ridiculously overpriced textbook he was the author of. He was a cool guy who had the extremely valuable skill of turning a dull subject interesting.

I vaguely remember playing it a little back in the day
