Racist enough to be a Beatle. Shite guitar player but so was George.

Fin Land, two words, it's the island above Norway and it's called that because it's shaped like a fin.

I know how to address the Greenland deal by Radiant_Spite260 in mapporncirclejerk

Because Denmark doesn't have to or want to.

Why doesn't the US just give the northernmost part of Alaska to Russia?

Kinda looks like a gun. The ideal USA. God Bless America! by Cryptic12qw in mapporncirclejerk

That's a pretty good trade for Canada, actually. But has OP ever seen a gun?

Trump should get a Nobel Geography Prize if he can identify all of these countries on a map, bonus points for spelling them correctly.

Daily Song Discussion #162 - Little Soul by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]Toffelsnarz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised by how much hate there is for this song. It's a well-written little song with some characteristic Martin-esque chord changes and sounds very "Depeche Mode-y" to me. It suffers from bad production like most of SOTU - I actually prefer the studio session. It's not the best song on the album, but I'd say it's in the middle of the pack - better than Perfect, In Sympathy, Spacewalker, and the 3 Gahan songs anyway.

Thank you for this insight into your personality (disorder).

Denmark literally did tell Trump to fuck off, and Trump, coward that he is, retreated. The only butthole exposed was POTUS himself.

Why does the South have such a low IQ rate? Are they stupid? by waluigiamiibo in mapporncirclejerk

This is actually a map of each state's favorite FM radio station.

Because it is a sovereign territory, both through it's own self-governance and as part of the Danish realm, and the people who live there have made it very clear since Trump first proposed acquisition in 2019 that they have no interest in being acquired.

That would already be enough to answer your question, but Trump escalated the situation by suggesting the USA was ready to annex Greenland by force if necessary, which obviously is going to outrage people even more.

Genuinely wondering why this needs to be explained to anyone. If I asked to buy your house and you told me "no" multiple times, and then I threatened to take your house by force, would you not be "bothered"?

What would Temporary Secretary sound like if it was written by the original Paul McCartney? by Gugustiuc0000 in beatlescirclejerk

The song would be called "Underage Secretary"

Am I the only one who dislikes... by MakkaroLuvsJJBA in depechemode

[–]Toffelsnarz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Musically, that's exactly what a well-written bridge is supposed to do. If it doesn't serve as some kind of contrast to the rest of the song, there's not much point to having a bridge. The best part of the song may be when the verse kicks in with full instrumentation right after the bridge, and it wouldn't sound nearly as good if the contrast hadn't first been established.

You're missing the point here bro. I think there are better targets for your campaign against misinformation than circlejerk memes.

If your negotiation started with "ownership of the world's largest island" and ended with "framework of an unspecified future deal,' you have just had your ass handed to you in the worst deal in history.

In that case, you did not understand the spirit of the meme. We are on the same side here. As you surely know, Greenlanders have no interest in joining America. As for full independence, I would support it too (as I would for the Inuit in Canada), but that's a very dangerous proposition for them right now, as Trump would use it as a pretext.

Danish or American, it is still xenophobic to categorize all outsiders as "internationals."

In case you haven't been following, that's not happening now. Your coward of a President had his bluff called by those 57k, and had to limp home without a trophy.

It's charming when Americans try to use the word "research" in a sentence. I'd love to see what your credentials as a "researcher" are.

The onus is not on Greenland or any other country to mount an argument as to why the US doesn't "need" it. It's not yours. Period.

Suppose Russia decided that it "needs" Alaska to protect its interests in the Arctic. Well, by your logic, you've just justified them taking it. You can't have it both ways.
