With a wide brush you can paint the picture like this: The Republicans were left wing communists (or at least they wanted a democratic republic) and the Nationalists were right wing fascists.

Nationalists won and they had a dictator (Franco) in Spain from 1939 to 1975.

That's no moon.

This is dementia ramblings.

They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would've talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.

With enginuity like this it should be possible to make a water trap to keep the smell contained.

You mean lunch break?

"Allowed until someone is sued for doing it and insurance can't keep paying out" more likely.

A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn't bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven't bothered learning the law. If they can't be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn't be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don't think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can't.

If you're a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?

Less than? Hell no.

5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn't and never will be.

Without 5 you wouldn't even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.

Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it's also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn't name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody, that's who.

Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That's right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.

You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.

25 is a shitty composite number. It's shitty because it's not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors: One, itself and 5 (of all things, duh..)

That's because it's square and boring. Does it even look square to you? This uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What's the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I'd definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They're so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.

So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.

Norway did it in 2015, and it seems to have been a success.

There has been surprisingly little debate about it here in Denmark. I haven't heard a single argument against it.

It should be noted that the draft is for training only, and that it's possible for pacifists to opt out of the military training by doing work for other institutions.

Personally I think it might be a great help for modernizing the military, because they'll need to rethink the old "one size fits all" procedures.

It's a response to Neil Young's songs which criticized the racist south.

Basically, it's what-about-ism in song form, mocking the liberals for being upset with Nixon.

I refuse to believe that a majority of Americans are fascists.

Things would look very different if they had a democracy.

What they need is a democratic election, without gerrymandering, without voter suppression, done on paper ballots with a pencil, on a holiday, with all ballots counted and checked.

You know the quote: "You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place."

Same thing applies to politics. They're doing illegal things that people didn't vote for. There's no way this can be fixed by voting when they don't respect anything anyway.

States need to secede and form a different government.

It's part of a larger plan to get cars out of the central city, which is plagued by rush hour traffic and expensive parking.

The point is to get the commuters out of the cars outside of the city by allowing them to ride the train for free from the commuter parking outside the city at the freeway and into the city.

Poverty isn't an issue in this regard. The public transport is already cheap and the entire city has bike lanes everywhere. I wouldn't want to own a car there if I lived there, but for a lot of people it's necessary in order to commute to the city.

No, you.

If I could drop out of everything for 29 days, I wouldn't come back at all.

Art has always had that issue. Is a potato print worse than a hand drawn figure?

Sometimes you need to know the material or technique to appreciate the effort.

It also applies outside of art. It's not always the end product that is important. We can appreciate things for being more difficult than necessary. Like the game Roller Coaster Tycoon being impressive because it was coded in assembly, or the Olympic guy who no-scoped in the shooting competition etc.

If the AI prompt is the effort, it should be appreciated as such, instead of comparing the end product against other techniques. We also don't compare airbrushed grafitti artwork to oil paintings, because even if the end product of both is a neat picture, it's impossible to judge against each other.

I think it's just a follow up on the recent NATO meeting where everyone decided to suck Trump's cock to make him shut up and play along.

Troels Lund Poulsen is the perfect tool for that.
