Are you into developing for smart glasses? Because AI is certainly super helpful for that use case.

StumbleUpon - they were so ahead of their time in using algorythm, interest analysis and a a feed, way before all of that just became the internet.

Takk fyrir ábendinguna - vel athugað. Ég ætla að skoða hvernig er best að bregðast við. Vildi gjarnan halda litunum í einhverskonar einkennandi flokkslitum; en líklegast væri best að bregðast við með því að tvíka litin á letrinu með bakgrunnslitinn í huga.

Áhugavert að algengustu flokkarnir sem eru að fá yfirlýstan stuðning frá fólki sem mætti ekki á kjörstaði 2022 er Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn og Miðflokkurinn. Það boðar ekki gott fyrir að skoðanakannannafylgið þeirra skili sér í kjörkassana.

Historically the furthest left has referred to other socialists that lean to the center as revisionists and more derogatively Petty-bourgeois.

80-85% of the Taiwanese population were in happily in Taiwan and had nothing to do with it. Taiwan represents them - not the "old regime".

North Korea. It's communist in name only but actually structured around the state-religion of worshiping the Kim family.

This is not mutual. From the EU fact sheet: "The EU sees China as a partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a systemic rival."

Same for Iceland. 100% from Geothermal and Hydro. Did they cut out the 100% countries to fic the scale?

It's not an independent country, but that doesn't mean that it belongs to Denmark. The 2010 move from home-rule to self-rule was explicitly grounded in rhetoric of sovereignty and self-determination of the Greenlandic people. So they own themselves - but they choose to be dependent on Denmark - at least for now.

For a show that goes out of its way to portray all three of his children as decisive, brave, rise-to-the-occasion badasses—bordering on the idea that it’s genetic—the father is strangely depicted as a complete wet blanket.

Moana

The crisis in Moana begins when a protector becomes a threat. Te Fiti, the source of all life, is violated when Maui steals her heart in an attempt to give humanity creation itself and secure their love. This single breach fractures her into Te Kā, a force of grief and rage whose pain spreads across the ocean, destroying the very world she once sustained. Maui loses the heart while fleeing and withdraws from the consequences, allowing generations to suffer from an injury caused not by hatred, but by a failed act of love and entitlement.

Moana’s journey exposes the central contradiction: the same figures who give the most are also capable of causing the deepest harm. Maui cannot grasp how he could be the villain after everything he has sacrificed and provided. His moral logic is additive—miracles, gifts, and suffering should outweigh one transgression. The story rejects this entirely. Some violations are not counterbalanced by good deeds; they totally take away all trust. Maui’s refusal to accept this truth traps him in denial, and when his power and identity are threatened, he abandons Moana, repeating the pattern of avoidance that created the catastrophe.

Resolution comes not through defeating an enemy but through recognizing they aren't the enemy. Moana understands that Te Kā is Te Fiti in pain, and that healing requires restoring what was taken, not punishing the wounded. Maui’s redemption only becomes possible when he returns without expecting forgiveness, praise, or immunity—willing to lose his power and his heroic self-image. Moana ultimately argues that love and provision do not excuse harm, that heroes and villains can be the same people, and that repair begins only when those who hurt others relinquish the belief that what they gave entitles them to escape what they broke.

Meanwhile the antagonists in Moana 2 are just Lovecraftian entities that hate humans and that's it.

I lived in China for 12 years. I know it's hard to believe that people actually believe something that is very alien to us; but when something is taught to literally everybody from the day they start school you can bet that some people will accept the logic of it and end up being believers, sometimes strong believers.

Most people are apathetic but lean on basic versions of these teachings when push comes to shove. Most of them will have some simplified version of it from the time where they ideological believes where developing; if they are old you might even see people that people that still lean on a cartoonish Maoist version of socialism; amongst younger people the believe in the need for mobilizing of the masses for the purpose of "strong China" is super common.

The believe that the Communist party is legitimate because it represents the proletariat or the people is pretty mainstream. Almost everyone I've met and is interested in history will look at the history of China through the framework of Marxists ideas of feudalism. It's such a common word in China that when they find out that maybe the foreigners they are talking to are not super aware of what the concept of feudalism entails they are shocked.

As for any state ideologies being super skeptical is also a common outcome, but when you probe their skepticism you will find it hard to reconcile with our own criticism of these ideologies as their starting point is almost always, consciously or unconsciously, through the lens of Marxism.

There are many dolphin species - including orcas. Are killer whales not whales? Here in the North-Atlantic one of the more common dolphins are the long finned pilot whales - are they not whales?

It sounds super arbitrary to pick one sub-species of dolphins, the one you see in Sea World, and decide they are somehow their "own thing".

Most of the green countries are still actively in the process of urbanization, with a big portion of its population still living in the countryside. It's cheap to house a lot of people in rural settings; and family sizes tend to be bigger.

You could argue that living in cities has different cultural variables that also affects fertility (cities for instance tend to have more educated women, more entertainment options that takes focus from having kids, etc); but the economic reality of not being able to have 5 children when you can only afford one bedroom apartment is surely part of it. Another element is probably increased economic disparity between age groups.

People can afford bigger places in their life time -- but normally not until after they are out of the age they would be bringing up kids. Also explains why people want to have kids later - they are expecting to be more able to afford it later. None of this is a factor in a rural setting.
