    You mean Greenlanders don’t want to invite a fucker that’s trying to colonize them in for a spot of tea? Color me surprised.

    Maybe they could try bribing homeless people with food again?

      Maybe they should invite them in and give them the most pants-shitting sugar-free thing they have. I would not even want to be a fly on the wall on that ride home.

          I don’t know if it has that effect normally or you mean it would be laced, but they probably wouldn’t eat a strong-smelling food in the first place. (Speaking for myself though, I sure would try as long as I know what it is.)

            I have no experience with Hakarl or Lutefisk, but from what I’ve heard about Lutefisk, they wouldn’t have to eat it. Just opening the can in their presence would send a message.

              I probably wouldn’t have tried durian or nattou if I didn’t know what they were, but maybe I’ll notice some exception some day. (I might have still tried haggis since I don’t recall it having any smell to it, but I wouldn’t feel better not knowing what it was.)

                Haggis doesn’t really have a strong smell, tastes good though (btw, if you ate it in the US, it probably didn’t have sheep lung in it because it’s banned over there)

                  I hope to try haggis someday - at a camp out one of the other Dad’s had all the kids making something he called similar to haggis, and it was really good. The only problem is we let the kids try first so we were running out of organs by the time adults got to try some - I did not like the ones that were mostly liver

                  I had it here in Canada, decades ago. My memories are vague but I remember thinking it wasn’t bad at all. (Probably no lung, but there was definitely stomach.)

      I actually AM surprised that they don’t have one village idiot who loves Trump. It always seems like there’s one asshole who wants to wave the Trump flag as a fuck-you to their world.

    American representatives have been going around knocking on one door after another in recent days to ask if they would like to have a visit from the vice president’s wife. Everywhere the answer was the same: “No, otherwise thank you,” says Steinmetz.

    ahahaha! Greenlanders were far more polite than I would have been.

      As an American, if they showed up at my front door the most polite thing I’d say to them would be the “fuck off and die” they’d hear right before I slammed the door.

      Anyone uninvited gets the door slammed in their face, but I am rarely inspired to make a verbal statement as well.

      There used to be an exception to the door slam for people selling girl scout cookies, but they don’t go door to door anymore.

      My door mat says “GO AWAY!”, so I feel getting a door slammed in your face if you ring the doorbell is justified.

        Protip: Learn to growl. When Jehova’s witnesses or suchlike knock, be very polite, tell them they’re welcome, how you’re happy they came to you to find the light Lucifer brings.

          I went to a Catholic University.

          I was never Catholic, and I was agnostic by the time I received my degree. However, there was a religion requirement, and one of the religion classes I took was taught by a Catholic priest.

          He mentioned he loved when JWs knocked on his door. He’d invite them in, sit them down, and just debate them until they couldn’t stand it anymore and practically begged to leave.

          It sounded like he treated it like an opportunity to convert them to catholicism, not because he expected them to convert as much as he just thought it was funny.

            I’m an atheist and this is one of my favourite hobbies! I could usually find a few on Sundays close to vulnerable people hotspots - churches, hospitals - and all it took was a glance at their magazine stand for them to strike up a conversation.

            So far, I’ve found they’re ill equipped at proving the existence of a god, let alone their specific brand. Some were actually impressed with a detailed theory of evolution, and may or may not have started to reassess their view of the world.

            I really love some good faith arguing in the morning…

      I’d bet at least some were a lot more graphic than what was reported. I’d really love to like, run into a Greenlander in this thread whose door was knocked on and hear what they actually said. There had to be at least a few “go fuck yourself with a rusty crowbar” type responses

    Trump had four years to plan his great return. Four years to mull and ponder. This is his best stuff. Everything else is going to be ad libbed.

    Should have said you’d be delighted for them to visit, and then just not let them inside. Deny any knowledge of talking to them before. Waste their time and money and call them names.

    Questions

    Bent:

    We need to be independent of the United States and it can only go too slowly. After Trump probably comes a “normal” president and then maybe again an idiot and so on. My question then is: How quickly can Europe become at least 80 percent independent?

    Bent is smarter than Keir Starmer, who’s still treating Trump administration with undeserved grace.

    Good.

    Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

    This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

    Now… well… there is no escape apparently.
