  • It is the characteristic of privilege and of every privileged position to kill the heart and mind of men. The privileged man, whether politically or economically, is a man depraved in mind and heart. That is a social law which admits no exception, and is as applicable to entire nations as to classes, corporations and individuals.

  • Indeed! For example, the Tōkaidō high speed line between Tokyo and Osaka runs almost 400 trains every day with an average delay of about 12 seconds 🤯

    Bear in mind that this is just the high speed service (Shinkansen). There is also a parallel line for local trains.

  • Nice drawing! But what on earth is going on in that chess game? 😅

  • Haha! Though they were probably more of a patriot than a drunk: Japan is the land of the rising sun, after all!

    And by that I mean that the name of the country (in Japanese) literally means “origin of the sun”, and that the emperor is traditionally considered a direct descendant of the sun goddess.

  • WT actual F.

  • TBF, “Asahi” is a better name for a newspaper than for a brewery 😅 (It means “morning sun” in Japanese)

  • Not gonna lie, the first half of this headline made my heart skip a beat 😅

  • «Maximize value» 🤮 This brainrot is destroying our fucking society.

  • Nah, you’re not dumb, you just didn’t know!

    Here’s some history for you: When the Nobel Prize was created, Norway was in a union with Sweden. Seeing as Norway didn’t have any direct diplomatic relations, they were chosen to handle the diplomatically sensitive Peace Prize while the Swedes handled the rest.

  • Great writer! Not so great person. He’s very well known in Norway and considered seminal in Norwegian literature despite his less than fortunate political views.

  • Unfortunately this isn’t a new thing. Knut Hamsun, winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature, infamously gave his medal to Joseph Goebbels in 1943.

  • There’s no botched perspective? The top of the bottle curves slightly up towards the spout, which makes it catch the light. The smoke and water droplets look slightly sus, though.

  • We’ve, as most of the world, been drifting right for a few decades unfortunately. The tax I mentioned was one of the main issues in last year’s election even though it affects nearly no one. That’s a sign of a small group gaining control of public discourse, which is not great…

  • My country (Norway) saw a lot of rich people moving to Switzerland because of more advantageous tax rules, so we actually did implement an “exit tax”!

    To the surprise of no one, the rich people will not stop whining about it.

  • I tried, but apparently it wasn’t “second screen” enough.

  • Depicting Proto-Indo-European speakers as cavemen is certainly a choice!
