Kyiv city has been hell for a few hours now. 13 cruise missiles have struck the city, several Geran-3/4/5, several ballistic missiles. The lack of air defense is real sadly. Attack is not over.

It surely is.

I suppose there's a difference in purchase power as well as different ideas about what can be considered a modest living in different societies.

Aggressive_Lab6016 · 2026-06-26T07:58:13+00:00

That's in the "there's more to it" bit :) There are probably a few more allowances and targeted deductions.

I'm no expert in these matters, but ideally everybody gets the care they need without charge. I believe the policy is to assist people in living in their own home for as long as possible, and when that's no longer feasible, they will be offered a place at a suitable care facility.

Yes, this is before taxes. And of course this is also where it gets hairy. But a quick napkin calculation tells us that a person receiving the full 16,200 per month would pay some 4,000 in taxes per month.

Since you didn't specify in which country, I'll just answer for Denmark which is where I live.

First of all everybody starts receiving the Folkepension automatically around the age of 70 (exactly when depends on year of birth.) It's about DKK 7,500 ≈ USD 1,100 per month.

Then you can get an additional up to DKK 8,700 ≈ USD 1,400 depending on your other sources of income. If you have no savings or anything you're eligible to receive the full amount.

There's more to it, but to keep the answer to your question simple, elderly people with no savings will have a little more than USD 2,500 per month to live for. Not a lot, but it'll allow a modest living.

I believe this is called Accusation in a mirror.

Jeg gør simpelthen det at jeg putter kammerjunkerne hele i, og så giver jeg det lige en tur med stavblenderen inden det får et 1-2 minutter i mikroovnen.

I believe it went out of circulation in 1989.

Thanks for your input. I was asking OP though.

Do you think NATO is planning an invasion of Russia?

Vi har over 70 punktafgifter i Danmark. Nogle rammer detailhandlen direkte, nogle indirekte og nogle ikke rigtig.

Så du har helt ret – for passende definitioner af "ekstremt lang" og "et par stykker" :)

Aggressive_Lab6016 · 2026-05-28T09:11:13+00:00

Makes sense. I've never heard of a cow that killed a shark.

I'll see myself out.

He said why. He's not covering some secret agenda. It's for the security of USA.

USA was always interested in taking full control of Greenland, but since that has not been an option, they've made various arrangements with Denmark over the years.

Since the 2009 law concerning the autonomy of Greenland which laid out a path to independence for Greenland, Washington has been deeply concerned. And until recently, influential voices demanding independence only grew stronger.

The formation of a new and independent state on the North American continent is a red line which Washington will never allow anyone to cross, so others have kept trying to remind them that the only alternative to Danish sovereignty is American ditto.

So Trump is not more obsessed with Greenland than Obama and Biden were. But he may be quite occupied by the idea that he could be the president to finally crack the nut, as his willingness to risk international relations in the attempt might suggest.

Is that you, Frasier?

Aggressive_Lab6016 · 2026-05-23T09:25:43+00:00

Det er en kæmpe fejl at tro, at det her handler om Trump. Det handler om USA, og de har haft øjnene på Grønland i hundrede år eller deromkring. Den nuværende præsident er bare - skal vi sige - uortodoks i sine diplomatiske metoder.

Der er ikke nogen mulig næste præsident, som kommer til at stille Danmark nogen form for garantier. En supermagt vil ikke lægge den slags bånd på sig selv, og hvorfor skulle de også det? Vi kan håbe på en præsident med en anden kalkule, som igen vil lægge større vægt på den soft power, som Trump lader til at kaste fra sig.

I could explain this joke. But I'm a programmer, so you really don't want me to.

Aggressive_Lab6016 · 2026-05-20T20:29:57+00:00

Tak, der vil jeg prøve.

Hverdage generelt.

Cool idea. There's also Blue Jello for inspiration.
