They said on Trashfuture that the banks who financed Musk’s Twitter takeover are unable to resell the debt. They are now stuck with a large and essentially worthless asset that is hanging like an albatross around the legs of their portfolios.
This has allegedly already caused some bankers to not get their bonuses.
The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.
With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.
Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.
I love the idea of a modern runic script, suitable for contemporary Scandinavian languages. Would you care to elaborate on your thoughts on this?
Whatever type of chilli mayo I feel like making that day. Or remoulade, the sweet Danish mayo-based condiment with chopped pickles and curry powder.
The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election.
Get an electable candidate then.
Someone I knew was living in an old building with old-timey fuse boxes placed outside the apartments. When she got tired of her idiot neighbours partying on a weekday night for the millionth time despite being asked to dial it down she finally had enough and went to the fuse box and took away all the fuses to the neighbour’s apartment.
She never had trouble with noise again.
It also has the must expensive healthcare system in human history.
Ordinary people are getting scammed.
In Danish we have “you can’t cut the hair off a bald guy”
If the US’ official self-understanding as a country with the rule of law, checks and balances and strong protection of private property is true, the TikTok ban should be overturned by any court.
If.
I’ve received checks three or four times in my life. I’ve never written one. As a kid I had a physical paper booklet for the savings account I put my birthday money into. The only way I can get to own a house is by winning the lottery. I remember when small shops had manual credit card machines that would transfer your account details to a slip of paper. I also remember when local stores would give credit to people from the community. I get low-key annoyed when I have to use cash instead of digital payments. My retirement plan is not to retire.
Satanically racist
If you’re drilling six holes a year, a cheap-ass power drill is going to work just as fine for you as the expensive one intended for professional use.
Seagulls. These fuckers shit on everything, they scatter your garbage all over the place and they’re noisy.
And these tiny black insects that are small enough to get into picture frames and computer screens. Fuck then.
And that Brazilian penis fish that swims into your urethra. That im thing is just the stuff of nightmares.
You can pick a fight with a wasp and win it. But mosquitoes sneak up on you and once you notice the little bastards it’s already too late.
Southern Jutland for the redneck backwardness and incest/zoophilia, the island of Lolland for the rural poverty and hopelessness.
Brussel sprouts. Lots of people hate them because they got them overcooked as children but they are so pretty and so delicious if prepared properly.
Corporate Memphis, those shitty minimalist cartoons they put on apps for adults in a stillborn attempt to make banking or meetings look engaging. I don’t want to be infantilised by cartoons, certainly not by butt-ugly ones.
“When the devil grew old he joined a convent” is an idiom in my language. It seems fitting for Carter.
In Denmark the closest we come to the “marrying cousins” stereotype would be southern Jutland although that trope can be used about all rural areas.
As for being backwards and reactionary, rural Jutland is the place to go.
As for rural poverty and hopelessness an area stretching from northern, western and southern Jutland, over southern Funen to the islands of Lolland and Falster is known as “the rotten banana”. Rural poverty is worst on the northern Jutland island of Mors and the island of Lolland.
