Meaningful deterrent doesn't have to be military. It could be selling off US state bonds or insisting on dealing only in euros, not dollars.

@oleryborg.bsky.social has written a nice article on options and why they aren't happening, in Danish unfortunately.

Analyse: Trump satser alt på svage europæiske ledere
EU-landene har alle de kort, de skal bruge til at ramme Trump og USA. Spørgsmålet er bare, om EU-lederne har den politiske styrke og vilje til at sætte Trump og USA på plads

I don't think it's fair to call it laziness. Merz, Macron and Starmer are all pretty unpopular with their voters which sharply limits what they are willing to do.

The irony is that showing some backbone towards Trump would probably increase their popularity.

Not quite sure exactly what law he's broken but that seems secondary.....

Maybe something related to stealing our offshore wind farms? Or something something Facebook is addictive something narco terrorist?

We'll figure it out, I'm sure!

How about if we 'arrest' the leader of the USA and make him stand trial for breaking Danish law? Maybe publish a few pictures of him blindfolded and in handcuffs?

Would anybody mind?

Some people voted for this shit. They deserve everything they get.

I will never forget the day where my wife was traveling and me and my eldest had the flu.

He was sick enough to be whiny and irritable. I was absolutely devastated and could barely stand.

This is good and all, but isn't there a problem in the Supreme Court being affected by public opinion?

The whole point of lifetime appointments is to avoid that.

Thank you!
I've learned a lot so far and am looking forward to the new year.

Also worth calling out that the US government is now a snuff provider. Actual people are dying in those videos.

Also interesting to hear the Social Democrats described as 'not the left'.

Watching from the outside (Denmark) it is truly appalling what is happening in the USA. I'm glad to see and hear that so many people are resisting.

Peaceful, loving, silly, hopeful resistance is what will pull you through!

And major reform will happen once you have.

Nah, finding Koroks is nice, brings a bonus and makes my day better.

Vance does none of the above.

I hesitate to bring this up as RFK Jr. and Trump clearly have no idea what they are talking about or what damage they are doing but there is actually reputable research showing paracetamol/acetaminophen has a negative effect on fertility and embryonic development.

Me too!

But until we arrive in our shared Star Trek: TNG future it's reasonable to work on formulating and clarifying problems that we would have to solve before getting there.

Even if such problems have no solution at the moment.

Considering the politicians the UK has had for the past decade maybe they should not be throwing too many stones.

Didn't Black Mirror do this 10 years ago?

Don't Create the Torment Nexus people, please!

Understand, respect and appreciate the powerful feelings involved and be aware of the potential consequences, but enjoy your body to the fullest. Those hormones are not going to last forever.

OK I'll take the bait.

If temperance, kindness, humility, patience and charity are all in place, chastity is unnecessary and might even be in the way of a healthy love life.

There are way more things that don't work than there are things that work. Without some very careful editorial choices, which would probably require deeply specialized knowledge, journals would be flooded with null result articles. 3/3

When you read an article reporting a negative result, you don't know whether the thing just plain doesn't work or whether the people reporting it doesn't work messed up somehow. 2/3
July 22, 2025 at 7:06 PM
There is nothing but risk for the individual scientist in publishing null results. If you can't make your thing work, you publish this and someone else manages to make it work you are now demonstrably incompetent. 1/3
