I think I would also be “unhandleable” if I was a tiny guy missing an eye. Excellent progress you guys! 🩵

The area was named Pituffik (said like bee-doo-feek iirc) before the US Air Base was installed. Can people please actually respect the indigenous people they're speaking out for instead of making fun of the Greenlandic language by saying it sounds like a noise "furries make when they sneeze".

Denmark and Norway are also MUCH closer to the UK than going through the entirety of Europe.

It doesn’t matter how powerful your enemy is. War is NEVER an ideal situation to find yourself in. Even small conflicts can lead to massive losses in life.

Like I’m sorry, but not every European nation has 50+ million people in it. Denmark is around 5 million and Norway is around 10 million for example. It wouldn’t be as hard to stomp certain nations into the dust.

I don’t know why people seem to think that Ukraine holding Russia off for as long as they have means they can’t lose. They can and that’s a huge problem. Russia isn’t crazy powerful, but it is still powerful and it does have allies.

Does this moron know that Russian drones have already shut down Norwegian and Danish airspace a few times already?

Russia isn’t the only one to worry about either. We know other people are helping them, but even watching Ukraine should make smaller nations sweat. Ukraine is still begging for help.

She is v cute. They love her. :3c

Tawdry makes it worse. Calling the beliefs fairytales is bad enough, but he calls them cheap, shitty fairytales?!
Boat shoes here needs to take a long walk off a very short pier.

If this isn’t considered something you shouldn’t do then I genuinely loathe to see where the bar for that is…

You also may want to be careful treading into the racist implications of calling certain belief systems “fairytales” too. There’s actual baggage and damage done to indigenous groups under this mindset and dressing it up as okay because you’re atheist doesn’t actually work. It would still be racist.

This just smacks of not understanding how various religions work outside of a very strict and narrow mental framework. Admitting you don’t believe in the same things and not being a dick aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. You can say you don’t believe in something without being a dick. It’s easy.

The reason I tend to call it “Linguistic Imperialism” is because that evokes the same general concept with people without needing to go down an entire rabbit hole.

It’s close enough for government work!

I’m basically using descriptivism to help make my point clear.

For anyone wondering what this is actually called in linguistic terms it’s “Linguistic Prescription” or “Prescriptivism” and it’s the concept that a certain variety/type of language is superior to others and/or is the correct way of speaking said language.

Common vernacular and “proper” technical terms diverge in wild ways, but there’s always cultural context to why things diverge the way they do.

Vegetables don’t technically exist (it’s a culinary term) but you won’t see people calling them all fruits either.

Take some time to understand and learn.

No. You were blocked because you were an annoying jerk about it and tried replying to every single comment they made. I told them not to engage. Maybe think about that in the future. As someone with psych training you should 1000% know better. (and I know that because I have psych training)

One of my fav answers to the slew of weird scenarios this person wrote was a Christian saying they too would hit the baby with a bat if the pitcher tossed it. Something about that is peak humor to me.
