I didn’t say I would never switch to Linux, just not right now. As for my company, switching to Linux or another operating system + changing emails and other subscription services isn’t something you just do over a weekend. That stuff takes time.

I have made that fast and easy changes by now because they cost me nothing and with some of the bigger changes, it takes some more thorough conversations and some research before decisions can be made. I’m not like trump. I don’t snap my fingers and make spur of the moment changes without considering the longterm effects. Especially not when it comes to my livelihood.

My best friend is visiting Denmark currently to hang out with me for a week and she wanted mcd last night so we drove there and have never seen our mcd this empty before. We were literally the only ones there. I’m so proud of my fellow Danes.

For me, I’m mostly focused on replacing digital services as I believe they are way more important than groceries, but I shop for the star too and avoid american products more actively anyways. I dunno how big of an effect it will have in that regard, but with the tech stuff, I think that is where we can hit them the hardest and protect ourselves the most, so that is where I put in an effort. Went back to buying dvds and blurays and cut off all streaming services except for filmstriben, but that doesn’t count. I also left Meta and reddit and have deleted my youtube app and cut significantly down on my youtube “spending” if you can call it that. It feels great.

The next step will be to change my personal email and that is going to be a bigger undertaking that I don’t look forward to. Urgh. Eventually I’ll have to look into Linux too or something like that despite being a tech illiterate idiot.

We had the first discussion in my company yesterday about how our company is tied up in American tech and what we should do about it, if anything in the near future. A similar discussion has begun about the entire Danish digital system which is also mired in American tech. What do we do about that? It’ll be a very long and very slow transition and I don’t even know if the alternatives for that beast of a system exists yet.

All I can say is that I’m kind of excited about the future. Worried too. Very. But excited nonetheless. I’m a pessimistic optimist.

Reminds me of how millennials and generations onward have learned less and less maintainence skills to the point where most of us can’t sow or fix shit if it’s broken because we grew up in a consumer culture where you just buy a new one when the old one breaks. The quality of products have decreased too so they break quicker which gives people incentive to buy a new one instead of fixing.

My parents generation hold on to old items and they patch up their clothes and know how to fix shit around the house but they didn’t teach me any of that because the culture shifted and it wasn’t really needed.

We are not only losing skills and tactile learning and understanding, we are also rapidly torpedoing out planet into a massive trash heap. Which is a bit of a duh, I know, but still.

I for one have noticed the insane decline in the quality of clothes after covid. It is shockingly shitty now and tears faster than ever. Shirts and leggings I bought ten years ago still hold up while similar shirts and leggings from a few years ago already tear or unravel. It is shocking. I guess this is what will eventually happen to art too.

I’m proud of my inuit brothers and sisters. The Americans may finally fucking get the hint. Apparently it wasn’t enough to see that one inuk rip up American dollars when those cringe American youtubers came to give out maga hats an free money earlier this year.

Trump and his subhumans thought that the greenland-denmark conflict would benefit them, but honestly, it’s got nothing to do with them. We have tried to sort out our differences while America has been an annoying mosquito trying to make our relationship troubles about them. Dumbasses. Greenland is their own people. They are their own nation and someday it will be official, but we aren’t there yet and while they have a lot of issues with Denmark, there’s no doubt they prefer us over America until they can stand on their own feet. It was never a question.

This feels like the modern version of those people who gave out the numbers on their credit cards back in the 2000s and would freak out when their bank accounts got drained.

Solidarity hug! I hope we will all have a better future ahead of us than the current trajectory. 🤗❤️

Honestly, there is no need for any of us to bomb the US when the US government pretty much does that already.

For what it is worth, I hope your friends find better lives to where ever they have relocated. I also hope that you find a way to live that is happy and peaceful in spite of what is happening in your country.

I am currently preparing myself for a semi-perminent state of war in Europe where Russia will terrorize in the east and America will terrorize in the west. I hope that it won’t get that far, but I am also preparing myself for my country being possibly invaded by America. Hopefully this won’t happen, but the way things are moving, I’m starting to preparing myself for it.

I feel sad for the kids who have to grow up in this scenario. I hope my own nieces and nephews will get to experience a peaceful Europe again someday. The only good thing to come out of this is is that we have been forced to stand up for ourselves instead of relying on others. It was weak of us to believe that the rest of the world learned the same lessons during ww2 that we did. Russia obviously didn’t and neither did America. Where our takeaway from ww2 was humility, responsibility and forgiveness, the US spent decades making romantic war movies where they cast themselves as the heroes of ww2. It was always about glory and ego for the US. There was very little in understanding of the cost of that war and that makes sense because it didn’t happen in your backyard. And maybe that is why your country loves war so much. Because war never happens to you. It is something you inflict on others or use to make yourselves richer. (I don’t mean you personally, I’m talking about the institution)

Ah, don’t worry. I do not hold the American people responsible for what has happened to your country. When it comes down to it, the individual American has very little say in what it’s government is doing and in my opinion, your government has been very successful in manipulating its population into believing in a very untrue and very romantic image of how America is and how it is perceived in the world at large.

So don’t apologize. You can’t help where you were born and raised, neither can the rest of the world’s population. I cant help that i was born and raised in a country that decided to spy on its european neighbors for America and i would be very annoyed if people online blamed me personally for what some retards in charge have decided to do. If anything, my sympathies goes out to people like you who are trapped in that hellhole. I do hope this is just a very unfortunate stumble in American history and that your country will return to form and eventually evolve socially like I have wished for you for decades.

I will be honest, I have very few nice things to say about America, long before trump even came on my radar. I have despised America for most of my life, but I don’t hate all Americans. At all. It’s not your fault your country is built on a system that caters to the rich and teaches its people that all things that are good for the people is evil communism while all things good for the 1% is good for everybody. You guys deserves so much better.

America as an institution and a public face on the world scene, however, I have no love for. I never had and I wasn’t surprised when it decided to stab us in the back the moment we needed it despite us bleeding money and young men’s blood for the American institution for 20 years. I am not surprised that we are being treated this way. It fits perfectly with the American playbook I have witnessed since I was a kid and saw Bush use 911 to invade the middle east and high key sent a message to the rest of us that if we weren’t on America’s side we would be their enemy. Which is partially why I think we ended up joining you in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But no, I’m not surprised that this is our reward for bleeding for the American institution. Threats of annexing our territory, childish insults to our politicians, abandoning Ukraine and making friends with Russia. America has only ever cared about its own interests while pretending to be the world hero. All trump did was going mask off and that must be a shock to some Americans who believed the American institution was good and selfless.

Let me see… since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and… oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.

So… how about no? Oh, I’m sorry: no, thank you.
