In totalitarian communist Sweden the government will only let you fuck on election day

There are so many people who piss in the public pool so it doesn’t matter if I stop doing it. (Continues pissing)

That’s a crazy amount of money.

My dad died earlier this year and my mom paid over USD 6.000 for the wake, cremation, gravesite etc. I thought that was a lot of money for a completely average and modest service.

I’ve never understood why dying has to be so expensive. I think it is kind of offensive that they charge you even for a cremation and an unmarked grave. We are all going to need our earthly remains disposed of sooner or later and the cemetery and the crematorium are already both public property so what’s the point in charging people? It’s not like you can just go without. I can accept charging people if they want to keep the gravesite after the urn/coffin has decomposed or if they want cemetery staff to keep the gravesite instead of doing it themselves but the basic option should be a public utility like parks or libraries.

I don’t care what happens to my body after I die

There’s your answer. You don’t care but he does. Let him do it if it gives him peace of mind.

When it comes to pork, Denmark has the world record for most pigs per capita and produces ten times more pork than they can consume themselves, despite it only being profitable due to massive subsidies.

A lot of the pork consumed in Denmark is imported from Poland or Germany though because it’s cheaper.

It’s the most rational economic system, I guess.

Even chuddery suffers under the lack of a welfare state

Very small. At least in this go.

The Danish People’s Party are in opposition to the ruling centrist coalition and will not be able to gather the votes necessary.

This is not a proposal that is meant to pass. It is meant to create a few headlines during parliament’s summer break that will signal the party’s chud credentials to chud voters and maintain baseline chud outrage over dumb culture war bullshit and sabotage more serious discussions about climate policy.

I wrote the article to report on the treat-brained delusion of anti-climate politics, the deeply unserious nature of Danish public discourse and as an example of how awful these people are.

The reason I’m not completely rejecting the possibility of this eventually becoming law in one form or another is that the Danish Peoples’ Party has been the prime ideological incubator of Danish politics for decades. When they first propose something nasty and stupid people will laugh and dismiss them at first but a couple of years later that position which was outlandish before has now become mainstream while the fascists has moved to something worse.

Climate Change Be Damned: Danish Fascists Demand ‘Meat Guarantee’

The planet is burning and the fascist Danish People’s Party has identified the most urgent climate injustice imaginable: Somewhere, a pensioner might suffer the indignity of eating a plate of chickpeas.

The ultra-nationalist party demands to have meat enshrined as a legal right. Under their proposed “meat guarantee,” every resident of the Nordic hermit kingdom’s nursing homes and every patient in its hospitals would be entitled to at least one meat-based meal per day. The propised legislation explicitly aims to block any climate-driven reduction in animal consumption. “Of course elderly people, who have worked hard their entire lives, should have the right to eat roast pork or a hamburger steak every day, if that is what they want,” declared Malte Larsen, the party’s climate spokesperson.

How rich I wanna be

Lebensborn, first as tragedy then as farce.

I want the Maga antipope: Trump gets mad at Leo and calls for a conclave to be held at Mar-A-Lago. The conclave elects an insane lead-poisoned boomer to be pope in Orlando. The new antipope makes Trump the first person to become a saint before his death.

Leave it to America to invent the adult child soldier

I read the label and although I now now who’s buying it I still don’t know what it is.

Is BDSM bourgeois?

I have experienced a programmer with decades of experience spend hours trying to get ChatGPT to fix an issue he was having with an external library. I solved the problem in five minutes by reading the God damn documentation.

I was also once given the thankless task of consulting for the CEO of a manufacturing company who had convinced himself that the magic wizard in the computer could turbocharge his business. He wanted to cast an AI spell that would summon hitherto unknown leads for his B2B sales and he insisted that it should be done in Microsoft’s cursed Copilot Studio web interface which is really an application for building annoying chat bots to avoid doing customer service. I was charged with fixing the clusterfuck he had set up, seemingly using prompts generated by other LLM’s

It was so extremely frustrating to work with, nothing was documented, and instead of being able to program your logic with coding like a civilised person you had to set it up with some bullshit drag and drop web interface. Testing anything took ages because you had to wait for the AI to hallucinate information on completely irrelevant topics before you could see if stuff worked. But you couldn’t really see if stuff worked because LLMs are non-deterministic and the prompt that provided something resembling something close to useful in one run would output utter shite in the next. He wasted too much of my time and his own money trying to cast this spell until he gave up and ended the partnership. He would have gotten more value for money by hiring an intern to do Google searches and taking notes for a couple of days.

Ship owners who gamble with their crews’ life like that deserves the pit

The fash keyboard warriors have already abandoned their default queerphobia position and are now up in arms about protecting our precious Judeo-Christian gays from the Mahomedan scourge. I hate it so much.

I’m sorry Kyle, beating a diesel generator with a hammer is not going to help much with fixing the power grid. Also, you’re holding that hammer wrong.

My three week summer vacation is over on Monday. Did I get any work done on any of my coding projects or DIY projects like I planned? Not a single minute. Did I manage to complete my ambitious plan to clean up the garag and pull up all the weeds in the front gardene? Of course not.

What I did manage was to relax. We managed to go abroad for a really nice holiday despite having been too exhausted by a family crisis for the past months to plan anything. We also managed to go stay with my mom for a few days which was nice for everyone, especially now that my dad is no longer with us.
