Yeah my point was they don’t have a political agenda besides what makes them the most amount of money. If trans people become universally socially accepted, they’ll make movies with trans characters. If the US keeps moving to the right, they’ll probably stop having minority characters altogether. All that matters to them is money.

My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.

They removed Finn from the poster for the Chinese release. Star Wars is not and has never been “woke”, Disney always just does what makes them the most amount of money.

They recently did that in Norway, it has improved my life by about 1%. You still get the flour explosion when opening a new bag though.

Techno Viking is a time traveller so he doesn’t count. Fun fact, Vikings used to have a rave after a successful raid

Vikings were a very particular group of Scandinavians who, during parts of the year, went on their longboats and raided villages and stole stuff to bring home. For most of the year, they were farmers and fishermen. Having Scandinavian ancestry does not make you a viking, they literally don’t exist anymore.
I’m 100% Nordic by the way

Weird Al is a time traveler confirmed

He posted this joke himself lol

He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart

I live in Norway and one year I planted 10 chili plants. I treated those plants like royalty and in the end I got like maybe 2 chilis per plant lol

Sometimes I look at pictures of puffins in flight because they look so ridiculous lol

You don’t need to ban tipping. Several countries don’t have a tipping culture and that’s because the waiters are paid adequately for their work. Tipping is seen as a bonus after exceptionally good service.
The US should raise the minimum wage for restaurant workers and not make it the customer’s responsibility to make sure the waiter can pay their rent.

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce “bi-frost” instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

There must have been some magic in
That elder rune they found
For when they carved it in his head
He began to slash and pound

I know “state-funded media” is an ominous word to Americans, but most European countries have their own government broadcaster and news organization, entirely funded through taxes.
Those generally offer high-quality non-biased journalism (of course it’s always based on how authoritarian the government is). The British BBC, the Swedish SVT, the German DW etc. are all publicly owned broadcasting companies.
