He is the author of “The Art of the Deal”…

He will draw a deal that isn’t implemented with his sharpie.

That isn’t his main concern. The real reason is that it ensured accountability for when rich people cut corners.

Basically no Europeans would put Austria as a US state. It’s fake.

Popeye.

The vandals hide among the rest, so the police has to disband everyone to stop things from reoccurring. When people don’t disperse when told to do so, or fight against the police when they try to make them comply, then things escalate. The police doesn’t have other options, sadly.

People have to realize that the police don’t do things if everyone follows the rules. They aren’t pigs or fascists, but people like the rest of us. The narrative on this site has gone completely haywire.

There are some policemen who do wrong stuff. I don’t know how many police officers are in the US, but I would be surprised if it is less than 200k. Take the stories you have heard and divide that number by 200,000, and consider the fact that they are put in rough positions a lot more often than you and I, and you should arrive at the result that they aren’t any worse than the rest of us.

The dehumanizing of the cops here on Lemmy is rampant, and it isn’t fair to the vast majority of cops who don’t do the bad stuff.

The issue is just that if people start burning things or breaking into stores or things like that, then the police has to dissolve the aggregation because the complicit people cannot be identified on short notice. That requires an investigation, which takes time.

If bad things happen then it would be best if people actually helped stop the vandalism or whatever could happen. It sucks for those who don’t participate in the lawless behavior, but what is the police supposed to do? Let people destroy innocent people’s property?

I totally support the protests, but people have to realize that when things take a wrong turn then the police have limited options. A lot of damage can be done in a very short amount of time when a gathering turns into a mob, so things have to be stopped.

It totally sucks that vandals often destroy it for the peaceful protesters, but what other solutions do you suggest to the police’s dilemma?

In the EU we work as a bloc, meaning that we have to agree with the other countries before the policies such as tariffs or similar are changed. Calling for it is how you get that train moving.

If I got a warning about prompt injections, I would check my browsers add-ons and remove anything that I didn’t absolutely trust. Your email likely contains a lot of personal info that can be used for identity theft and other related things.

Please don’t put that guys opinion on all westeners. Most Danes agree that Israel are way out of line for instance, and our prime minister has officially denounced their behavior in Gaza.

The world is nuanced, and generalizing about large populations of people is never right. When you do that you are putting blame on a lot of innocent people, and demonizing people only makes it harder to work towards a better world.

Just copy the source from the Wikipedia article after you check that it clears the bar.

I like my coffee strong, and a few days ago I put too much in the filter so it went over the edge when it started brewing. That clogged the hole where it was supposed to run out through at the bottom, causing it all to flow over the side instead. From there it went to the front edge the table, and into all the drawers except the very bottom one.

I also don’t have a dishwasher… That was an annoying cleanup.

Same here.

I learned to read at 3, and taught myself English before starting in school by reading all the text I came across on my Amiga, recognizing words that were similar to the Danish ones and slowly picking up more and more.

I also got a My Little Professor at 3, a reverse calculator that gave problems to solve. My mom taught me addition, subtraction and multiplication, and my mothers “subtraction is the opposite of addition” was enough for me to figure division out. I did the hardest problems in all four categories in my head, with numbers with up to 4 digits, before starting in school too.

I never did homework in school, only things that had to be turned in. I always had my hand up in class, because my innate curiosity and mental capacity meant that I could figure things out as the questions were written on the blackboard. The lax attitude stuck. *Edit: It wasn’t because I didn’t try to get things that required more work from me. I always asked for harder problems when doing work in class, because I always finished the problems we were given to do while in class and finish as homework before the class was done.

My biggest problem growing up was bullying. I didn’t share interests with hardly any of my classmates, since I was at least 3 years ahead of them in my mental development. My best friend was 10 years old when I was 7, and he and I played Magic together because his classmates couldn’t figure it out. My glasses, small stature, and the fact that I changed schools twice didn’t help.

And Gaza.

Well, the taxes we have here in Denmark are quite high. We either have the fourth highest rate of tax compared to GDP or the highest, depending on which source you go by. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio

The thing is just that taxes means that the money gets spent directly on improving the lives of the people who live here, instead of people having to buy stuff like health care through companies that skim off the top, and who uses the money you pay them to employ people who try to find ways to not help you.

Taxes helps ensure that everything runs efficiently. A healthier population who are more productive, infrastructure that prevents disruptions to business and daily lives alike, and ensuring that people don’t have to resort to crime if they lose their job or get ill. Crime is another source of inefficiency that gets significantly reduced.

Everything helps ensure that the average person is in a much better state of mind, and mood is contagious - even those who pay the most benefit off of it, and pretty much everyone here agrees that it’s money well spent.

In Danish politics, even the right wing would be considered leftists in the US - we have a lot of political parties (16 in parliament, with 4 of them being from the Faeroe Islands or Greenland).
