New government regulation causes companies to adapt or die

I curse the day some scumbag ruined everything by adding the third option “regulatory capture” 🤬😮‍💨

So the amount of competition is the exact same as when it was run by the government like crucial infrastructure is supposed to, but the quality is the same or worse?

Sounds about capitalistic…

Innovation is a byproduct of capitalism searching for new things to sell.

That’s the BEST case scenario. Much more often, the “innovation” consists of taking something that already exists and making it worse by all other metrics in order to make it more profitable.

We have a saying here in Denmark: “the truth is to be heard from children and drunk people”.

With that in mind, what could be more truthful than a toddler on their second white Russian? 😛

Money?

Die?! That’s the last thing I’d ever do!

Or working out with a poet, political activist, husband, father, academic & emcee who is best known by me as a prolific podcast guest

Are you waiting to receive my wilted branch?

Huh. I sit corrected about that part, I guess 🤷

world is based on Denmark iirc

Nope. I’m not sure which but I’m 100% certain that it’s based in either Canada or the US

per Denmark law, it’s illegal to discuss jury nullification in regards to future crime

No such law here either. Just like in the US, it might lead you to not being selected, but it’s not illegal.

Let’s do [crime] and then we can get people on our side to do jury nullification" is illegal

True, but it’s only the "let’s do crime that’s (conditionally) illegal. The mention of jury nullification doesn’t make it any more or less illegal to probably and knowingly advocate crime.

Anyway, since that kind of thing is EXTREMELY difficult to prove, it’s exceedingly rare that anyone gets punished for that particular crlme, making your point a moot one.

In conclusion: I feel completely safe in stating the truth that when the law and the systems it protects is unjust, the just break the law and others should try and help them avoid undue or excessive punishment in Denmark.

Also, my American girlfriend insists on pronouncing the Dutch surname of new Liverpool manager like that.

Granted, that IS pretty close to the correct pronunciation of “Slot” in Danish (which means castle or palace and is also the name of a cheap but potable beer), at least 🤷

I don’t know about the other Nordic countries, but here in Denmark, “fag” also means profession and is used as a colloquial term for many related groups and concepts.

On a slightly related but hilarious to me note, “bad” being Danish for “bath” and a company refusing to change with the times to accommodate an increasingly international marketplace has resulted in one of the most successful mid tier bathroom design companies in the country still being called “Bad Design” 😄

I very much like that, by all reliable reports, Scunthorpe is a real cunt of a town 😁

KyleMail would be a much better domain than xmail tbh. Especially if your name isn’t Kyle. ESPECIALLY if you don’t even KNOW anyone named Kyle 😁

Other than paying much smarter, more skilled, and generally better people to do stuff and take credit for their work, throwing out random shit and demanding that others make it happen is literally ALL he’s done professionally since he made a Space Invaders clone as a kid. That and self-promoting.

He’s the richest man in the world and also the perfect example of the fact that the ultra-rich don’t become ultra-rich because they’re smarter or more talented or because they just work really hard.

Being rich already; ruthless opportunism at the cost of the health, happiness, and often lives of others; and shamelessly relentless propaganda is how billionaires are made.

Requiem for a Dream comes to mind…

Sounds like it would be fired from a hilarious, disgusting, and enormous shotgun.

Gotta have hobbies 🤷
