Went to the RoK a month ago and stayed for a week. Received a few comments from people at the university I visited that they could not believe that I was the same age as a bunch of them and had 2 kids. They all said that they would love to have children one day, but it took so much work to get to someplace comfortable that they could not imagine starting over after having a child. Also, Hell Joeseon has a serious problem with male chauvinism, to the point where women complain about it if you are a foreigner and there aren’t korean men nearby.

Anyone wanna play a round of “guess the gulf monarchy”?
wow
lol, didn’t know that 1/6 of Armenia was just a giant freshwater lake. Kind of forgot that mountains have runoff and presumably the area famous for its mountains would have a lot of water being collected somewhere. Thats what I get for being a flatlander from Denmark I guess

Assumed this was an island as there was a small amount of fishing. Then assumed it was african, because while the country had a fairly diversified export profile, it seemed too small to be one of the post-soviet states. Then I was pointed due north, and began guessing in the Caucasus, and was pointed in the right direction. No idea how the country manages to have non-filet fish as a major export, since AFAIK the country is landlocked, but it could be imported from Georgia i guess.

Began in South America, realized it was Africa, then guessed Nigeria, because I can’t remember any other mostly-petroleum exporting states in Africa, and then guessed by geoclue, as I was right next to the answer.

first time in a while I’ve managed to do this without consulting a map. Kind of got lucky with my first guess and then tried to hone in by remembering roughly where places in west africa are in relation to another. Though the export total made it real easy to skip over all the small economies.

never knew that this country had an actual economy that was so heavily reliant on pharmaceuticals. Pretty fun one, even if the size and industrialization makes it pretty easy to guess the general area.
Been seeing a bunch of those stickers in my neighbourhood for a couple of months now, and they contain no useful information except for a QR-code, which made me suspect it as some kind of op by a bored intelligence officer.
Do they want the conflict to end as in “we recognize that prolonging the conflict will only lead to more suffering so we should negotiate a deal between Ukraine and Russia” or do they want the conflict to end as “russian subhumans must evacuate Ukraine immediately and let them reset their borders to the ones prior to 2014”. Because one of those is an actual serious opinion and the other one is shown by every Lemmy lib who wanders into Hexbear for more than 2 minutes. The latter opinion is also seemingly shared by Zelensky and Co. as they keep having these peace summits without inviting Russia, which seems like wishcasting more than anything.

Sort of cheated with this one, because I guessed Morocco, Algeria and Syria on my phone while on the train. Then I came back to my office, looked at a map of North Africa and realized I had completely forgotten an entire country.

Fuck those small ass pacific islands. Nothing narrows them down and you’re pretty much forced to rely on Geocluess for the answer.

Thought this was Ghana at first, since I remember that they used to be called the Gold Coast. Then the arrow told me it was in eastern africa, so I guessed Eritrea (know fuckall about that country, but i know that ethiopia grows coffee and eritrea seemed a decent guess as they have similar climate and a coast-line. THen guessed Kenya and finally hit the mark at the fourth time.
If you’re going to protest being drafted, this is one of the more effective ways you can choose.

Guessed Morocco at first, because I know they export quite a lot of important fertilizer-regents, and then saw that it was in eastern europe, so guessed Romania, which seemed a decent guess based on the size of the economy and the relative industrialization of the country. Then guessed Bulgaria, because I frankly don’t understand the differences between most of the Balkans and my guesses were mostly geoclues. Finally arrived on the right answer after digging deep and thinking about poor/small states in the nothern balkans.

Thought this was Azerbaijan, and then guessed it by the geoclues (only petro-state that far away from Azerbaijan)
And the worst part is, most of the bombs are american, so Isreal isn’t even doing the innovation in the first place!
Danish state media has been talking about the Trump case all morning, which has made my commute unbearable. They also refer to it as “trump being convicted of illegal bookkeeping” which is probably the correct way to describe the case, as it is itself very boring. Only good part is that one of my bosses is a trial lawyer who has been having a field day with recounting all the different ways that the lawyers involved are fucking things up, which is mildly funny.
In other news, a candidate for the European Parliamentary elections has withdrawn their candidacy after it has been revealed that the candidate participated in a “pro-Putin and Pro-russian” forum, which was opened to people who had parents from russian-speaking countries and basically functioned as a cultural exchange program. Naturally all the libs I know are celebrating and every non-white person is pointing out that we’re basically prosecuting people in the papers for the crime of having russian ancestry.
All in all, these last few days have been really dumb
I’m not particularly highly paid compared to most people i work with, but it seems like a simple way to not have your convictions eroded is to begin thinking about issues in a more structural way, rather than just the immediate.
So sure, the driving contradiction in my life is the fact that my rent and car-payments and childcare expenses are taking up a solid 105% of my post-tax pay, but I’m also capable of looking outside and seeing the fact that a 1000 people just fucking died of heatstroke during the Hajj, because temperatures in Saudi Arabia crested 50 degrees celsius. If you are actually interested in socialism, you’d probably pretty easily be able to connect the lack of income growth compared to inflation and climate change, as both issues have the same fundamental cause.
