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?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
Ah, you mean imported Hákarl from Iceland?
They should serve them the rotten smelly fish which is banned from planes because people puke just from being in the vicinity
Lutefisk? That's Norwegian.
Honestly tho Hakarl and Lutefisk are locked in an eternal battle for the revolting seafood jerky award
I think you're thinking of Surströmming, which is Swedish and absolutely vile. (Properly prepared) Lutefisk is quite mild though definitely weird, even if you're used to stuff like pickled herring. Ordinary pickled herring is fermented in brine (and own enzymes), intensity depends on age at the tail end of things you get fish sauce, Surströmming is fermented in lactic acid, Lutefisk is not fermented at all it's stockfish (dried without salting) rehydrated in lye, then properly rinsed and cooked. It's mostly the texture that's weird.
If you find yourself in Scandinavia one thing to definitely try is elk salami.

Vance with his weird interaction with a human donut shop worker:"hello fellow human
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.

I'm proud of my inuit brothers and sisters. The Americans may finally fucking get the hint. Apparently it wasn't enough to see that one inuk rip up American dollars when those cringe American youtubers came to give out maga hats an free money earlier this year.
Trump and his subhumans thought that the greenland-denmark conflict would benefit them, but honestly, it's got nothing to do with them. We have tried to sort out our differences while America has been an annoying mosquito trying to make our relationship troubles about them. Dumbasses. Greenland is their own people. They are their own nation and someday it will be official, but we aren't there yet and while they have a lot of issues with Denmark, there's no doubt they prefer us over America until they can stand on their own feet. It was never a question.
Particularly as the US has a no backsies law, which makes it illegal for any US state or territory to gain independence in the future.
The British Empire also had a no secession clause... oh wait
It did not. No Parliament can bind a future Parliament. Indeed the vast majority of possessions gained independence via legal means.

External self-determination cares little about national laws. That's kinda the whole point. The real question is what type of conditions need to be met before a right to external self-determination arises and is recognized by other countries. In general, most countries don't recognize a right to unilateral seccession under any condition. At the same time, it is also agreed that if a state were to make the practice of internal self-determination virtually impossible or meaningless, then a right to external self-determination should arise. In which case any "no backsies" rule under US national law (even the constitution) may be seen as a breach of fundamental rights.
With independence, it usually comes down to who has the bigger stick (in both material and ideational terms). The are definitely scenarios in which US states can make a valid legal case for independence but the conditions for that still haven't been met as most international lawyers will agree that Americans in all states are afforded the right to internally self-determine. For now. Things are changing quickly.
It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.
what? no it doesn't. not even a remote hint of that come on be realistic. the liberals are barely squirming over the illegal deportations. Folks are whining about eggs more than anything else.
California checking in. I'm working on it, there's an effort to get it on the ballot.

Kudos to the Greenlanders and keep it that way until the Turd Reich is vote out of office.
keep it that way until the Turd Reich is vote out of office.
No, please. Keep it forever. The USA was never and never will be a reliable ally. Good riddance. Forever.
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.
Graceful Greenlanders
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...

"no, otherwise thank you" (nej, ellers tak) can be said in a variety of ways.
The entire purpose of adding more words to a "no" is to have more words for expression.
Even in the most polite way it basically means "definitely no".
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
They couldn't find one fascist nutjob? That's impressive, honestly
There has to be a scoreboard for this
In order to maintain complete transparency we removed the scoreboard and actually keeping score is illegal if we're losing.
- Probably Trump
That's how you deal with an american cunt.
Couchfu$&#er and his DEI wife getting rejected by Greenlanders is hilarious.
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.
In his defence he doesn't think at all, he's just doing what he's told by his handlers
This IS the ad-libbing. The real best stuff is the executive order intended to destroy the voting process. This is a distraction.
His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don't think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.

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.
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.
No, I live in the US and in a red state.
Seriously, the news is trying to spin it as "Oh they changed their plans" but seriously they've been hyping the fuck out of the visit and suddenly it's "JD is joining but they're only going to a military base"
Even the dumbass republicans are going wtf.
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.
They bully, harass and disparage you then act offended when you won’t play along with their political games.
Even if I was okay with her visiting my home, I wouldn’t be okay with the massive security detail and intrusive background check on every member of my household.
Opsec is clean
Crazy that they don’t want to be a part of the fourth reich
As the museum here in Copenhagen proves, Greenlanders are based.
😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Taste the Rainbow of Rejection you Repugnant Ratfucking Runt!!!
Greenlanders win the day!!
👏 👏
