Reminds me of when digg fell apart in 2012(?) and reddit immediately became a worse place, like in a week. Now that's just how things are online.

Ah yes, love me some unabated West Virginia bashing. Just like Illinois bashing. And Ohio bashing. And Tennessee bashing. And east Virginia bashing. And bashing my own state.
> Financially and politically they’re pretty similar.
Politically the Swiss use a far inferior system of democracy, which is why their women did not get the vote until the late 70ies, and they just now managed to figure out that Same Sex Marriage should be a thing.
Other than that they are pretty similar, but Norway has a far superior democracy as a result of not using direct democracy.
I would personally pick Switzerland over Norway purely due to the weather. Switzerland is significantly warmer, and [more importantly, sunnier](https://i.imgur.com/F4MC47o.jpg). I, personally, hate cloudy and overcast weather. That being said, I do love Norway’s geography and nature. It is the European country which is most similar to New Zealand in that sense.
[Does Switzerland have a children's tv show about a man with an absurdly long penis? Denmark is the only real choice.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3sGocnMP3A&ab_channel=Daniel)
As a Norwegian - I wouldn't move to Denmark, because then I couldn't have my summer holidays there the same way. Just got back yesterday from a week of Djurs, Fårup, Legoland, Bilka, cheep beer and happy people. Wouldn't be the same if I lived there full time.
In the US it used to be pretty automatic, unless Jewish. When I went to have my son in 2019, my insurance company / hospital had defined circumcision to be an "elective, cosmetic procedure" that they would not cover. I think a lot of other places are also doing this.
Aside from cutting baby dicks wrong, I wasn't going to pay out of pocket to cut said baby dick.
Used to be the standard. People are stopping, plus it costs around $500 out of pocket which disincentivizes people. The biggest issue now (around non religious) are fathers wanting their son to look the same, at least in my anecdotal experience.
Imagine being such a weird fucking pervert that you ask a doctor to mutilate your son's dick so it looks like your own mutilated dick. These people are mentally ill.
They don't think about it in terms of mutilated dicks. It's about as deep as women piercing their baby girls ears cos their mothers did it.
I don't agree with it, but your post just makes you sound like the creep.
They want them to look the same as them sometimes for familiarity, many claim they don’t “know” how to clean/care for foreskinned individuals.
There’s a social factor as well, being so common for so long, a child will be in the minority with an uncircumcised dong. This can lead to early ridicule in the locker rooms. Even later ridicule, including sexual partners, also not familiar with uncircumcised penises or finding them strange/unhygienic.
Still foolish of course, imo
I wonder when the far right will start to copy that shit here in Germany too.
They seem to just look at the United States and then start the shit here too.
Maybe if their Government wouldn’t act like a PiS of S… to their own People and Europe, then they would be viewed different? /s
Crazy idea. I know. But one can dream.
The right wing playbook in America heavily relies on the bipartisanship of the whole political system. There being only two parties means they can create this “rivalling sports team” atmosphere between themselves and democrats and the rubes in the countryside eat that shit up by the truckloads.
Germany has a real political system where doing the same thing would be heavily ineffective because the multitude of (roughly) equally represented parties generally means the average German will agree with parts of the agenda of multiple parties. Not just one. This means you can’t corral the dumb portion of the population like the American right has done.
Of course it is. But then you take a look at every other country which doesn’t have the luxury of more than two strong political parties and you realise it’s still SO much better than those places. Look at the UK if you want a non-US example.
pregnant 10-year old rape victim in Ohio denied abortion, so they had to go to Indiana
What kinda fucked up timeline is it that I'm typing out that sentence, jesus. Idk if theres another case specific to Mississippi, but I'd probably bet on it.
Jesus what in the actual fuck. I thought people were being hyperbolic when I saw the memes and comments. Didn't realize this shit was actually happening.
Mississippi is the shittiest state in the union, or very close to it, by most measures.
•Highest unemployment rate
•Highest poverty rate
•Lowest life expectancy
•Lowest median household income
•Highest rate of STDs
•Highest obesity rate
•Second highest rate of teenage pregnancy
•Second most prisoners per capita
•Second least college graduates per capita
•Third least high school graduates per capita

Imagine forcing women to birth babies, after giving them no sex education, with a high likelihood the parents can't afford/handle a child. Not to mention many pregnancies are terminated due to birth defects and if they survive will cost WAY more to take care of.
That baby will either end up extremely neglected, or very poor, or hungry, or have a higher likelihood of resorting to criminal activity to get by.
And God damn they'll likely ban contraception when they can.
I feel so sorry for everyone who can't get out of that hellscape, and curse everyone who is responsible for creating it.
Mississippi was also the state who asked the SCOTUS to overturn Roe when they were hearing Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health Organization... As a Mississippi resident I'm looking at where else I can move because I like having human rights, but also, fuck paying these shitheads state and property tax anymore.

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Three peas in a pod. Always ranking bottom 5 in everything good, while ranking top 5 in everything bad.

Source - I live an hour away from New Orleans. It’s terrible.
We have *many* states that could be considered "shittiest". Most of them are in the South (but you have some outliers like Oklahoma, Ohio, and New Jersey, to name a few on top of my head).
NJ has the lowest net federal spend per citizen of any state. It's about negative two grand.
As in, NJ is empirically the best state as it don't depend on uncle Sam for shit, it pays for uncle Sam to fix everybody else's shit. Try that one on for size Cali
There are shitty things about Ohio, but would you really call it one of the shittiest? It's one of the more prosperous states, with a GDP comparable to Taiwan. And you have some natural beauty, in the great lakes section as well as on the border with KY.
I would say it's more of a painfully average state culturally, economically towards the top 1/3, but more of a blah state than a shitty one.
Norway is considered a utopia for a good portion of Americans. High-paying jobs, Free healthcare, *ample* paid vacations and sick/maternity/paternity leave, women's & LGBTQA+ rights, no school shootings, and the language is one of the easiest for a native English speaker to learn. What more could you possibly want?
It's perfect they let your priest, dad, brother, cousins, teachers, Robert Kraft from the Patriots, drake and anyone else they deem superior rape you, force you to carry to term, then because your parent can't raise you or died during birth the government will step in. Guess what no Orphanages in the United States. So your kid is going to foster care, then boarding school, then residential housing which are all U.S. Govt federally backed programs so they can continue to build up a right wing religious cult and implode the united States from the inside out with a religious cult army made from the children they force you to have. This is what 6 out of 9 SCOTUS justices want
On the bus to the airport right now, finishing a trip to Oslo. The amount of facilities for children is amazing and makes me really envious. The bus even has built in child seats. Don’t get me wrong, the UK is relatively good in some respects, but Norway seems like another level, at least in my brief experience.

Who tf chooses Norway over Denmark 😎
Anybody sane
As a Swede I can confirm
#Danskjävlar!
The presentation made it funny which I can't do over words but there's a joke like what do you call an attractive person in Norway... A Swede.
There’s also this ongoing joke about Denmark wanting Skåne. If Denmark received Skåne from Sweden, the average IQ would be raised in both countries
The same joke is in the Netherlands and belgium. If Limburg was given to belgium. The average IQ would be raised in both countries.
Who do the Swedes hate more Norweigans or Danes?
Danes and swedes have a love/hate relationship. But both love Norway
And norway hates both of the others
They dont hate Finns
Nobody hates the finns, aside from the finns.
Am Finn, can confirm. We suck. But sweden sucks more!
As Robbaz says: Norway is Premium Sweden, Finland is Redneck Sweden, and Denmark is..... *vomits*
Norway and Finland are the best

Poland is wayyyy ahead of you in the religious nonsense. PiS has slashed women's and LGBT rights here
When people talk about wanting to be born in Europe, they obviously mean west Europe.
I now know how Anakin feels Poland your are on the council but we do not grant you the rank of Europe
