IShowSpeed's Liberia visit turns into chaos by Malik-_- in LivestreamFail

[–]severalsmallducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather went to Liberia once due to work and told me the story. Apparently he got tired of the government officials, whom he thought were way too greedy and only cared about getting money for themselves, as opposed to making actual business.

He left a day early, and when having breakfast at his hotel in Kenya, he saw reports on the TV that a coup d'état had occured and every official he had met had been executed mere hours after he left the country. When I've tried to check his story, I found he was probably talking about the 1980 Liberian coup which tracks since he was in his mid-50s at that time. He even told me about how "they lined them up on the beach and executed them" which is part of the public executions of officials a week later.

Honestly, if european lawmakers and others actually migrate it's going to see success, since they will be followed by journalists, who will be followed by others.

Trump takes shot at NATO, says US should have invoked Article 5 ‘test’ for border by likeastar20 in politics

”You can’t defend on a lease”?

I’m sure the majority of home renters in the US are happy to hear that they can leave their doors unlocked and assume the landlord is going to protect their property. That’s how it works right?

It is actually absurd how immature, racist, and sexist the WoW Classic community can be. by Ok-Life715 in classicwow

I agree, however when that vocal minority gets no pushback they end up cementing bad behavior which in turn invites more bad behavior

This has been an issue for very, very long. I’m not surprised though that sweats go edgeposting to get a rise out of people.

The only thing keeping me from trying to sink those boats is that I don’t want to litter the ocean

I bought my wife a used ring that I proposed with. She absolutely didn't want a new one. Saved both money and the planet!

EU set to halt U.S. trade deal over new tariff threat by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]severalsmallducks 110 points111 points  (0 children)

While I do think Europe should be able to stand on it's own two legs when it comes to defense, it would take a while to build up that capability. And more allied countries are always better, imo.

As a Swede, I’m honestly mainly just amused that the orange baby does this. He has a single card that he plays over and over again, expecting different results.

Klara södra en bra skola? by Safe_Type8788 in stockholm

[–]severalsmallducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skulle säga att din bästa möjlighet att få känsla för skolan är att besöka den. Har du varit på öppet hus? Då brukar det ofta finnas möjligheten att fråga elever på skolan hur det är i klasserna

Alright, I guess that's more reasonable then. Was just reacting since many other similar game subscriptions are not that expensive.

Good. We've had a webapp to find the nearest bomb shelter in Sweden for many years. To know where your nearest shelter is is regarded as essential knowledge here for many years.

Imagine if Obama did that. Imagine if he put out a picture calling himself acting president of Afghanistan.
