While we're a cog in this capitalist death machine I think a policy of not arming other countries probably does more good than bad.

What would everyone say to having an IK for this thread? If you believe we should have one, do you have recommendations?

No thank you. Last time most of the candidates were resident trolls, and the dude who won was close to the worst possible choice imo.

Yeah, the thread probably leans more left than the rest of D&D, which causes some friction that can be hard to understand from an outsiders perspective, but the mood and culture here is generally good so if there's a slew of reports I think one can assume it's from the peanut gallery.

Move the thread to C-SPAM if it is a huge issue. That would be funny.

I'd suggest moving this derail to the Ukraine thread but I suspect some posters here are threadbanned there, or at least too terrified to post in it. A sad loss.

I support you posting there instead of here, if that's an option.

One of the most annoying things is the spread of gender reveal parties. Setting aside the conservative gender essentialism at the heart of it, it's just so loving gauche.

mobasheri has publicly opposed the more "mature" direction Rødt took, especially in oslo, and seemingly wants to drag it back to becoming an irrelevance just for the sake of being opposed to everything and stirring conflict rather than solutions in the city parliament

Law says that if you can sell off parts of the land and build houses there, the potential land value of those houses are part of your land value. This is a clearly ridiculous case of that because it's a huge piece of land with nothing on it, but if you turned it into parcelhuse, that would be a lot of theoretical value. This is not a bug in the system though, it's a political choice of how to do value.
Obviously ridiculous still, but it kinda makes sense if you have a huge garden in Gentofte which you could easily sell a third of for 6 million.

It's not that ridiculous. What's ridiculous is that this kind of land is privately owned.

They have automatically scaled pricing based on website demand before, so if scalpers drive up the rush around ticket releases that directly benefits them.

But the only liberal party in Norway is Venstre

Most, if not all, Norwegian parties are liberal to some extent.

Venstre caters to Libertarians who dislike FrP and Høyre voters who watched too much West Wing. They can't really claim any sort of unique position in Norwegian politics, except maybe being the party with the furthest distance between their espoused values and actual politics.

Some countries also add fluoride to drinking water (i know Sweden doesnt), dont know how it tastes though or if it is even detectable by taste in the low concentrations present

Most countries have done it, including Sweden. Scandinavian countries usually have very little of it in municipal water sources. We keep it to below 1.5 mg/l as per WHO guidelines, but in cases where it was added it was to an even lower level of 0.7 mg/l.

We do still add Chlorine, which had a distinctive taste, but it's rarely detectable here.
