  • Hurricanes are not getting more frequent or violent because of climate change though. They are likely to become more rare with increasing temperature in the northern hemisphere because of even temperatures in the weather systems.

    Lex Friedman ep 339 does a good job explaining the difference between more and severe weather and people settling down in huge numbers in already exposed areas.

    We had a huge rainfall in Norway last year submerging a lot of properties. People said this was unprecedented and because of climate change. Only issue is that we have historical data on earlier floods, and people had settled down below the markings of earlier floods more than 100 years ago. The issue is not climate change, but regulating properties on a patch of land you know with 100% certainty will get flooded again.




  • Flawed. What jobs are Greece lacking workers for? Can the said migrants fill those roles while simultaneously getting integrated into the societal norms and customs?

    If yes. Cool.

    If no. Not a solution.

    I don’t agree to the pushing people into the sea. But one problem is not the solution to a different one.

    Quota migrants are the way to go. Human trafficking is bad.







  • Ye that’s right.

    You could have the AR-15 legal as a functioning weapon. But make requirements such as fixed stock and 16" barrel. Such requirements would make the rifle more life a semi automatic hunting rifle instead of a tactical assault weapon.

    Here in Norway you can acquire an AR-15 kind of rifle with many modifications. But the requirement is and active membership in dedicated shooting club. There are also requirements for activity in the club. If you want a regular rifle you can take a short course required for all hunters and buy the rifle after applying for a permit to the police.

    I think that’s fair as you regulate what kind of weapon people with different interests can have.








  • I don’t get it. I go to Instagram a couple of times a day. I start scrolling. The third post is something I haven’t followed or liked. Then the fourth, and the fifth. So I close the app. I spend like 5 minuter there daily. The whole discover page is just filled with trash I have no interest for.

    Sure I enjoy climbing. But I don’t care for videos of people tying knots or lightly dressed chicks doing some low grade bouldering. Why does the app think it’s better than me?


  • That’s just how memes work, no? Something random gets repeated and evolved. It’s funny because its a random occurrence that didn’t really affect anything. But we can play with it as if it did. Like moving a mug in a time travel movie changes the universe.

    It’s an absurd and sad situation that gathered enough attention to become a meme. I for my part enjoy some Harambe memes now and then.


  • Even the Norwegian media hyper normalized that Clinton would win. The news cycle was a circlejerk for how amazing Clinton was and how stupid hair Trump had. When push came to shove on the election day I couldn’t do anything else but laugh.

    Clinton booked this huge avenue with a major show to be out on when she won. The balloons weren’t dropped and she didn’t even show on stage. Trump had his election speech in a conference room in his hotel. It was a perfect display of the establishments arrogance and it confirmed Trump’s rambling.

    Ffs I don’t want it to happen again. Please no. But I believe the 2016 election was good for your democracy. If you sleep in a democracy you wake up in a dictatorship.

    Put Trump in jail and do some actual draining of the swamp soon.
