Just remembered I had this bookmarked

The absolute worst place to get a cut wtf. Whenever I'm calling someone I'll be getting blood on my screen. It's going to take ages to heal.

Please don't give me any recommendations for bad vegan toppings, nor any recommendations for good vegans topping me to be bred.

Old news, but just found it.

Copenhagen tries special Paris trick to lure Trump critics

The Municipality of Copenhagen is ready with a major recruitment campaign to lure disappointed Americans to the Danish capital.

In Copenhagen, the doors are now open to Americans who no longer want to live in a country with a president named Donald Trump.

The City of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Capacity are now ready to develop a targeted effort to attract Americans who are ready for a career and a new life outside the US.

This is according to Jens-Kristian Lütken (V), Mayor for Employment and Integration, to TV 2 Kosmopol.

- “There are so many Americans who have good ideas, want to start a business and have good educations. We need them here in Copenhagen and in the metropolitan area. And many of them are tired of Donald Trump becoming president, so we want to attract them to Copenhagen,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

The education and skills that the mayor is looking for are particularly in tech, green transition and life science. That's why the City of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Capacity will now seek out exactly those professional groups and entice them with what the mayor believes Copenhagen has to offer.

- First of all, Copenhagen is a great place to raise a family. Far, far better than the US. We have good daycare centers and we have good schools. We also have a much more open and liberal society than what Trump is proposing,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

Inspiration from Paris

The mayor explains that it was during a meeting between the Employment and Integration Administration and Copenhagen Capacity that the idea came up.

- “We talked about how we could be better at recruiting talent from abroad, and then we talked about what we could do if Trump wanted to win. Nothing was done in 2016, and not much was done after Brexit,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

But they did in Paris, the mayor explains.

- “They were good at luring many English people across the Channel. They had a targeted strategy to attract companies and people from the financial sector. So it's with inspiration from there that we now need to be open to the Americans,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

And perhaps there is a chance that some will take up the offer. At least if you ask American Nancy Gerth, who TV 2 Kosmopol met on Strøget on Friday.

She is not happy about the election result and is actually not at all sure if she wants to stay in the US.

- “We're going to suffer four more years with Trump.

- We'll see how it goes, but if it continues this way, I might consider moving to another country, she says to TV 2 Kosmopol.

Wages can get in the way

At the Confederation of Danish Employers, Erik E. Simonsen, Deputy Director of Employment and Labor, welcomes the Americans.

- “It's always a good idea if there are skilled employees from other countries who are interested in coming to Denmark.

But as you know, it can be difficult to get a residence permit in Denmark. This can affect Americans who are unable to earn a high salary in Denmark.

- If you can't get a job where you can earn 400,000 [55,000 usd], it's virtually impossible to get a permit to work in Denmark and stay in Denmark, says Erik E. Simonsen.

Jens-Kristian Lütken, isn't this something you need to solve before you entice them to come here?

- Some of the solutions already exist. You can be allowed to apply for work in Denmark for a certain period and then subsequently get a residence permit. So some things are in place, but there are also some things that could be easier than they are today, says Jens-Kristian Lütken to TV 2 Kosmopol.

Yes, what a city needs is more "ideas guys" and the best ideas guys will be american financebros with enough money to leave their country on a whim.

Anyway it's laughable to say Denmark would in any way be better on immigration, it's one of the harshest places to emmigrate to. Here's a reddit thread discussing just that https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToDenmark/comments/1gny0up/americans_copenhagen_wants_you/

I struggle to keep going, I lack follow-through.
Got done with my big project (yay) but it could have been quicker. Want to not be tired from willing myself to do stuff.

Me!

On the bright side I now have more time to argue with all of you about wether or not I am a wrecker lol

Weeeeeeee

I'm being let go in an hour probably

I don't know, but this comment from @[email protected] has given me some stuff to think about.

People should not think less of you on the base of the amount of sex you have, and you shouldn't either.

This is a nice thought, but insults based on amount of sex are absurdly common. I have seen quite a few people on this site who still do these insults, and it doesn't get removed when I report it. The incel article from a while go was about how we should critique incels for their misogyny rather than them failing to have sex, I see this as pretty similar to the arguments about not body-shaming fascists in that most of the people who will get hit by the insult are not the actual target. From what I remember, that article good job explaining why these insults are harmful and how they hurt a lot of people who they really shouldn't, unfortunately the discussion on that post was very off topic. In my experience, most people who have sex fail to recognize that not everyone who is celibate is an incel ("If so many terrible people have sex and you can't, that must mean you are worse than they are!").

I would say that insults based on amount of sex a person has should not be allowed, but I am very pessimistic about this actually leading to a change in site culture.

Once again, please assume good faith, even if you disagree with the take. If you think I mean something weirdly reactionairy by this post, ask me wether that is what I mean, instead of just saying that's what I mean please.
I don't want this to become a strugglesession, I just feel like this would be a good discussion to have. If this does become hostile, then please lock/remove it mods.

She went to the psych and got checked all because I asked her to and told her it would mean a lot to me if she did! Now she's considering meds even though she's kind of a herbal supplement crystal woowoo type person.

Now we just gotta get my grandmother to the brainmechanic.
