If you knew the item would be pawned off or destroyed; morally I’d like the history with someone who has the resources to preserve it and share it with as many as possible.

I recall this being discussed a while back after yet another overzealous regime destroyed some of their culture and heritage; preserving this history under capable custody would have been beneficial for everyone. I get it’s complicated but for the most part these well run long lived museums in stable countries provide a great service to humanity.

Hmm, yeah that’s rough. I guess if he lads up and reduces number of trips it might be worth it. It’s definitely a run-the-numbers calc.

For a third of the price, at scale, I think that’s an easy yes. It’s only 40km.

My cursory googling of definitions does not align with yours. Palliative seems to lean toward terminal illnesses, and your definition is largely only seen/used in the united states.

That sounds desirable.

Are EU farmers dumb? Who mistakes a veggie burger for a real burger?

Classic.

You don’t get to make up definitions to suit your needs.

This is absolutely not true. And furthermore countries are not required to allow anyone to enter. Nice ideal maybe but not reality, nor practical.

The orcas might be in danger if they keep this up 😬. Godspeed.

My beloved Netherlands what are you doing? :(

So what’s going down in Sweden exactly? My perception is that they used to enjoy a high standard/quality of life with progressive policies, then somewhere around pandemic time it went downhill: rise in xenophobia, hate, crime, strains on their social systems, rise of right wing populism (I guess this is global). Is there a comprehensive analysis somewhere I can read about this?

😏

The fucking best.
