In the US there has been 230 school shooting incidents in 2025. In 2024 There was 336.
In Denmark there has only been one school shooting. Not in 2025 β one school shooting in the entire history of Denmark.
The US has 121 guns per 100 people. Denmark has just 10.
It is the guns.

I disagree, it's not the guns it's the American attitude towards the guns.
Unfortunately SCOTUS has misinterpreted the 2nd amendment for decades by ignoring the first 13 words of it. A well Regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...
And only read the last 14 words. ...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
The well regulated militia today is the National Guard
@Howitzer105mm
My point is that when the 2nd amendment was written when the ONLY US military was a citizen army. The National Guard has now become the well regulated militia.
In other words no American has the right to Bear Arms unless they are part of a well regulated militia run by the state government.
PS 8 guys calling themselves a militia does not qualify. They don't work to defend the government
Did you work on 105's? I was Arty for 30 years
I've adopted several military habits. NATO phonetics from amateur radio. 24 hour time for simpler arithmetic.
So I routinely get asked what branch I was in.

Ghost is more similar to Substack as it optionally allows paid subscriptions to newsletters. A lot of journalists use paid newsletters to get income from their writing.
WordPress is more of a general blog and site creation platform and AFAIK doesn't have the optional paid content.

The telling thing is with any other president, Carr could give a nuanced answer and not be in hot water.
"The president is not my all-caps BOSS like he is with his secretary or speechwriter. But he is my lowercase b boss in that he appointed me for our alignment of views and if I were to deviate to an unrecognizable extent, I would expect him to take action." That would get him fired and his house swatted.

Had a good laugh at the news yesterday that the Department of Home Affairs (they handle stuff like immigration, passports, birth registrations) raided the office where American government officials were processing refugee applications from wealthy white Afrikaners.
lots of "YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE, WE'RE GOD DAMNED AMERICANS!" from the Trumpfuckers managing the place.
And a whole lot of Kenyans got deported and put on travel bans because the Americans smuggled them into the country to work illegally.
And just to be clear, it wasn't an accident - they applied for work visas and were rejected because a) The applications were sponsored by the US government which, apparently, is not a South African company, and b) The jobs they were getting was "low-grade clerical work" - something which literally any literate person can do and which does NOT qualify for any kind of rare skills exemption, and c) This whole "white genocide refugee" nonsense is severely pissing off our government.
So when the work visa applications were rejected, they just applied for tourist visas, and put them to work, making sure to rotate them out every 90 days when the visas expired.
The utter mad hypocrisy of the Trump administration being so casually dismissive of immigration law is just so... ooh! I laugh because I have to.

In this comparison, the fluctuating currencies do not matter. It is about the ratio between salary of costs.
If currency fluctuation increases the price of the Danish Big Mac in US$, the hourly income in Denmark goes up by the same factor.
The ratio of salary vs costs stays the same.

TRUMP'S MINIONS STARTED OUT THAT WAY
Back in high school, I met a bullying runt with a little entourage.
I was a 'public school' refugee who got a scholarship to a private Catholic high school.
While sitting in the "audio/visual room"βcubicles with record playersβI noticed I was getting distracted by a chubby runt with a little entourage, who was actively mocking me.
Eventually, I confronted him, took him out in the hallway, and put the fear in him, by pointing out how easy it would be to throw him down the stairwell. He felt the fear, I let him go back to his friends, and we both let it fade into history.
Years later, as an elected state representive, he made the news by menacing a young female reporter with suggestions she could "have a lot of fun" with guys from his school. (The school I graduated from).
These people don't turn magat overnight. They start young, and develop techniques.
So, stand up to bullies when you're young. You may never get the chance again.

Anyone looking for a Fediverse project idea?
Here's an easy one... No, really.
Gallery site, think like DeviantArt, FurAffinity, ArtUntamed, etc. You don't even have to code from scratch, just design a new UI for Pixelfed to display artwork that same way. It might need a tweak or two, those gallery sites will after all happily show you artwork that's been posted on their landing page, mature content only visible if'n you're logged in.
Despite the similarities of the interfaces, each site is a custom piece of work, so imagine not needing a custom site and the challenges that brings. For viewers, imagine not needing an account at every art gallery site so you can see your favorite artist's content, nor would the artist's need an account at multiple sites, you can follow from whatever current account you have.
Is there any negative? Sure, I don't think a PixelFed based gallery site would support stories, videos or music well, but the Fediverse has projects for those too.
