Jesus christ, they’re serious conspiracy nuts in charge looking for a scape-goat.

I got parents who believe in conspiracy bullshit, and you just can’t have a reasonable argument with that level of stupid. Literally anything you say that isn’t in line with their ideology will either be turned into something in line or rejected as a lie or just being brainwashed.

“No comment” is the most reasonable and none-time-wasting response you can give.

Why? What are they trying to blame Fauci for?

I wonder what’s stopping someone from just making a screen grab of a Google Maps satellite view and feeding it to one of the many AI image generators.

Towards fascism? At what point will it be considered just fascism?

Just like back in 2008 the investors will try to fake it until they can’t and the entire economy will crash over the whole world.

China making a crap ton of RAM won’t help with that.

[×] The French hated that.

Not the heat death I was hoping to die in.

Since 2015.

And still nobody is listening. Earth only keeps warming more rapidly.

The Danish government pays for the military and the military pays the soldiers. It’s a job, after all, draft or no draft. And since it’s a job it should come with all the regular Danish perks of having a job.

I’m not sure if the military have their own unions (because I’ve never looked into it), but if they do I can look at their overenskomst (union agreement of sorts) to see what their minimum wage is and how vacation days are handled.

Oh, uh, yeah, so, minimum wage works a little different in Denmark. We don’t actually have a minimum wage, and wages aren’t set in laws. Instead, typically, a worker representative of a particular industry sector and a corporate representative of the same sector sit down every few years to hash out the next few years.

Hmm… Well, I have good cardio from my job as a bicycle courier, and great legs, but I’m still somewhat overweight and have no upper body strength. First draft are typically those that meet the minimum health requirements. I’ve already been tested a number of years ago and I think I fall within the B draft.

That said…

Should push come to shove and I get drafted, as far as I understand it, it’s a training course. Unless the US decides to actually attack Greenland I doubt I’ll end up getting shipped off. So I’ll probably never leave the army base.

As for what my personal opinion on the matter is… Well, if I get drafted it’ll basically be a harsh workout regime for me entirely paid for by the Danish government. At the end of it I’ll be a lot fitter than I’m right now, and I won’t be broke. And if I do get shipped off, it would be in defense against Imperialism, so I can’t really complain.

Well… Maybe I’ll complain a little. I’ll probably be terrified. I’m only human, after all.

Our reality has become worse than satire.

We’re not a particularly large country.

I mean… Also assuming this is all real, and the rushed schedule doesn’t produce low quality botched RAM sticks that die in six months.

When it comes to products from China, they can be incredible; unprecedented quality for so much cheaper! Or they can be exactly what everyone says they are and end up in a landfill after a short amount of time.

It’s quite the coin flip.

Various governments in Europe are switching to Linux too. Libraries in Copenhagen now use Linux.
