I’m not sure if people are suggesting that oil itself is a magical solution or if they’re suggesting that having exclusive access to an extremely profitable resource (oil) enables a country with a tiny population to make socialism work.

I have a strange feeling that if oil became worthless Norway would quickly stop doing socialism well

Sweden is fairly unique as it’s economy wasn’t destroyed by WWII, and it’s stance on banking, foreign exports, and foreign ownership has enabled it to make massive profits. But the economy is seriously struggling today. The average home loan takes 100 years to pay off.

Finland economy replaces oil with timber and an extremely educated population. Both of which are not sustaining the model well as the country is in recession. The timber industry isnt producing sustainable profits like it used to. The debt-to-GDP ratio is extremely high. The highly educated population is leaving and people don’t typically immigrate to Finland.

So arguably the model isn’t working anymore, without something like oil to fall back on.

When cocaine usage first exploded, it was almost entirely in “laborers, youths, black people, and the urban underworld”. Most of the early history of its usage is associated with non-whites and lower class peoples. Making it illegal worked for a long time until the cocaine boom happened and then it became popular with disco and rock, but again, still mostly used by non-whites. It wasn’t until crack became a thing that the racial divide became more clear - rich whites got the clean cocaine, everyone else got addicted to crack.

The switch to being heavily used by the rich white class is a “relatively” recent development.

Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

There’s grandfather rates plus bulk discounts!

There was/is a 90% off sale atm.

You’re referencing extremes while trying to deflate the average. Most people do not carry their dogs in a purse. My pets are my family. I do not carry them around in a purse.

Okay, but on the other hand, my group if friends tried to tip a cow. It didn’t budge.

Consider he might use unfluoridated toothpaste?

Seriously though, how is the average person supposed to understand this post? Things involving recent events need context

Agree with whay the other person said. Mods for these games are incredible, often better than the core game. Definitely do it

The green check mark implies your system is secure and stable with its current updates, even when it indicates you’re not up to date, usually means that your system is secure and functioning properly with the updates it currently has.

The yellow text indicates there are important updates available, but they might not be critical for immediate system security and stability.

No gore. Working as intended.

Low dose ketamine is drastically different than the dosage used to sedate someone

What a horrible take - you clearly haven’t traveled much, abroad or even in your own country. Diversity and culture is more than architecture. Do you believe that Toronto is similar to Ontario? There’s definitely a percieved lack of “culture” in America but to believe it’s ubiquitous is just hilarious

Could be the low resolution/beards but I am honestly surprised at how similar everyone looks. I guess that’s how it is as an island aboriginal - not a lot of genes to mix
