You gotta stop huffing paint, bruh!

I live in Norway and feel the same way. However I will point out that trump is pro Israel and doesn’t like Muslims. He even wanted to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Aye, that’s the one!

Why you trying to detransition?

The cold war is restarting. British troops are among the best in the world, but they’re poorly equipped and there aren’t enough of them to sustain more than 2 days of fighting against an army the size of Russia’s. National service partly solves the manpower issue.

Thank you, i did not know that.

Poor kitty!

War is awful, but not as awful as living in Russia. Also there’s the little thing where the russians are committing a whole host of war crimes and committing actual genocide. So yeah the Ukrainians are very keen to stop them advancing, but would be even more keen for the russians to just go home.

Better familiarise yourself with the ins and outs of performing a blood eagle. I know I’m going to just in case. Also you should look into making Molotov’s and IEDs.

Bless your heart

No clearly, but people don’t usually want to leave their home country to live. It’s usually just people who are displaced or academics. A good solution would be offering scholarships to gifted students from developing countries on the condition that they then use that education within their home country. But in the case of war /persecution, yes every country needs to do their part. Integration classes actually help.

Just look at the difference between Norway and Sweden. Norway has compulsory classes for non eea immigrants to learn about what it means to live in Norway and will actually help people get into work. Sweden sticks them in husby and puts them on benefits. Which country has more problems?

More guns! Bigger guns! I’ll take a snipex alligator please!

Living in a stable safe country is a privilege we’re born into, much like inheriting a trust fund. It’s an ethical duty to take in people in a less fortunate position. The emphasis should not be on numbers of immigrants so much as better integration once they’re here. And also on helping less fortunate countries (yes I realise why they aren’t as fortunate) become more developed. People don’t tend to migrate if the place they live is good. Oil wars are not helpful.

You’re thinking of plan B. Gender affirming medicine is a politically correct word for sex hormones (estrogen testosterone etc)

A specific IKEA plushie

No shit. By the way I’m not defending netanyahu. He’s a pos.

Work 👏 from 👏 home👏 !

The answer to so many manufactured problems.

It’s probably open later in Oslo or something but yes 7:30 to 16:30 where I live. They started reducing hours during the pandemic and then just didn’t expand them again and hoped no one would notice. It was at least open til 17:00 before that.

Academics in Norway don’t have it much better. University contracts are all time limited which makes getting a mortgage very difficult and rental accommodation is either ridiculously expensive or would be condemned in a real country. Norway’s one of those places where if you fit into the system, life is good. But if you don’t, it’s really hard.

Academics have a really hard time with it because society is designed around 2 parent families where both parent works a normal job with normal hours. If you have kids and your experiment needs to run until 17:00, you’re going to have to find someone to finish it for you because daycare, while affordable and means tested, closes at 16:30. If you need to rent, expect to pay about half your income for a shitty converted storage cellar in someone’s house. If you go on parental leave and it ends after your standard 2 year academic contract is up, you won’t have a job to go back to (the universities offer 2 year contracts because by Norwegian law anyone working the same job for 3 years has to be given a permanent contract so they rehire their staff every 2 years).

Fuck, strap a fleshlight on it stick it in a fursuit and im game.
