That’s valid! I don’t actually have any frame of reference since I haven’t been there myself. Just seems like y’all have healthcare which is more than I can say as an American lolol

I guess that´s true. So I´m not often the most avid reader of news and especially news from the US are from a European view a bit more negative (after a certain president even more), that´s why I'm reluctant to always take something like that at face value.

But without going too deep into politics, is no healthcare part of that "freedom thing" and "the right to chose what I want" that the US is representing? Like public transport isn´t good there because car manufacturer wanted people to buy cars = because of the freedom to go where you want on your own. I don´t know if that´s understandable. :/

I said Africa because it doesn't cover up its mess-ups.

Mm I guess so, yeah. It’s more just a put yourself first and who cares about anyone else sort of system. The upper class has done an impressively good job of convincing the lower class that other lower class people are their enemy, so basic human rights like healthcare and housing are seen as “hand outs” if provided by the government. So people will go to crazy lengths to justify a “if you can’t earn it you don’t deserve it” sort of system for all kinds of things. Which leaves millions of people without access to affordable healthcare. But, hey, land of the free. >.>

save me

That is really cruel. When you see how easily people "deserve" something these days, and especially those who contribute nothing to society except dumbing down the people, I think it's unfair when you, as a working, honest citizen, don't get it because someone else gets it.

It's crazy how the world is. It makes me angry.

-> this reminds me that this world number one in tennis was not allowed to participate in the Australia Opens, but it dragged on for so long because "yes, he is someone". If I had turned up there as an 08/15 person, they would have sent me back straight away and not waited another week.

The world is unfair and we have to make it fair. But actually, you're supposed to have fun here in the thread.

So; what fossils do you think are hidden under the Antarctic Ice Sheet?

If it’s not a fish goddess I’ll rage 😤

Oh. Like some secret tribe of penguins worshipping the Fish Goddess Fishy G. Fin. Hopefully, there are no giant ice spiders there. I read that Antarctica was connected to Australia before leaving it, so they had similar flora and fauna.

Oh, gosh, that would be horrifying. Imagine a web made from sticky ice.

I won´t imagine it. But it would be a good level in a horror game. And I would love it and fear it and love it because I fear it.


There´s still unclaimed land in Antarctica. Maybe YWS should claim it and make Marie Byrd Land to YWS Land

this could be ur moment n i support u

I guess I could also populate it with swans and create my Kingdom there. I think that would be fun. I´ve to think about citizenship. What should be the official language there? Penguinish? Icish? Or just some random language that I´m going to pick from a website...

The swans do not need to increase in numbers. Their allegiance is to violence alone.

I´ve never met a violent swan. They are all very nice if you have bread with you.

Fascinating. I definitely had one square up to me in undergrad and I feared for my life

I think I have such a special relationship with swans because I once fell into the river with my bike as a child and their honking woke up the residents.
