  • I think that’s a wise choice, Denmark is not perfect, but at least we are considerate to Greenland as an independent self governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, that consist of Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Island.
    Greenland is not treated as a minority population of Denmark, but as an independent population with a right to self determination over themselves as a people and Greenland as their country.
    They are also allowed AFAIK even guaranteed complete sovereignty if and when they want, but they are dependent on economic aid from Denmark, and Denmark has the standpoint that they can’t have both, which IMO is fair.
    By what logic should we give them money if they are not part of the kingdom?

    Greenland also has 2 members in the parliament of Denmark, which reflect the size of their population proportionally. Faroe Islands has the same. So they are an equal part of our democracy.

    The only administration I have seen extorting empathy recently is the Trump administration that used it against the democrats by taking away food stamps and wages to force the democrats to yield so Republicans could take affordable healthcare away from Americans.

    And now we have idiots like the California governor protecting billionaires against being taxed. It’s an ever worse one way street that only benefit the rich.

    So many Americans are delusional. Minimal state and maximal God is their wet dream.
    Deregulate everything and get rid of both controls and services.
    So now Americans can look forward to getting cheated by fraudulent businesses, getting food that is even more unhealthy, and die in unnecessary accidents because there are no safety standards, and enjoy more pollution in both cities and out in the country.

    Minimal state is a moronic idea, what the state needs to be is streamlined to make society better through good regulation and standards that make everything work smoothly.
    Come to Denmark and see how it works, I spend about 3 seconds doing my taxes. I spend zero seconds filling out forms when I need healthcare. This is not about maximal or minimal state, but about having good systems and good regulation and public services that actually work.


  • I too am annoyed that I’m not allowed to keep slaves and beat them to death when I like as is described in the Bible.
    It’s a God given right that God gave to the rich white man. It clearly says so in the Bible. Why is my faith being oppressed?
    Why are Christians persecuted like this? We just want to keep slaves, and kill LGBT people, and discriminate everybody who isn’t a white Christian. And to be left alone to live in peace and love of Jesus and the Lord, with our slaves and religious bigotry. 💘

    Fuck religion and fuck racism, and fuck Republican voters for voting for it.







  • Republicans and the voters that voted Trump are definitely the stupider part of that situation. Being fooled by a fool makes you pretty stupid. Failing to detect the blatant lies of a pathological liar makes you stupid. Thinking the obvious flaming sociopathic narcissist is on your side makes you stupid.
    The only way to be that stupid is by a lifetime of indoctrination that up is down. Americans have been indoctrinated for a century that freedom is the ultimate highest value, higher than life itself, without ever actually making a good definition of what freedom is! And Trump is a sociopathic narcissist, with no conscience no respect for anything or regard for other people and little self control, and that is seen by most of the American population as the ultimate expression of the freedom they idolize.
    Americans are also indoctrinated to admire being rich, as a sign of skill and intelligence. And since Trump is rich and famous, Americans think he is intelligent, despite his fortune is based on his inheritance.




  • In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.
    So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.
    But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.


  • AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.
    So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?

    What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it’s kind of insane. But it’s not actually 2nm.

    Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.
