  • A third of the revenue in greenland is the danish sending money to them. If they want to become independant it will be a lot of work. Cut their legal systems off of denmark, loose all the danish funding, loose the danish military and a lot less danish people will move there(because a lot of jobs need education that is simply not available in greenland). Also the only place that is properly connected to the rest of the world is nuuk with a population of 20 thousand. Im not saying its not possible just that iceland did it and they played on easy mode compared to greenland. By the way they are also in a bit of a problem because they rely on nato for their whole military and nato is pretty unreliable nowadays. And we are talking about a us(technically) invasion anyways so nato wouldnt help greenland. You just dont get how small the population of greenland is.






  • I am a huge spain cuck for reasons i will be automatically biased but i heard its because 1. historically catalonia is basically insignifacant 2. a lot of catalonian rich people want to pay less taxes so they want to be independent and then influence politians with money. I also heard from some of my catalonian friends that they wouldnt care but they wanna stay in the eu so thats why they support staying a part of spain. Of course as i said i am baised and this is what ive heard from biased people and i still dont support what they did its just an explanation NOT AN EXCUSE. Also spain gets a lot of hate for stuff that other countries also do but i think thats a good thing because it creates a higher standard.

    There are exceptions of course but its mainly cities like the centre of tokyo where you have extreme density, money and incentive to live. Of course the other thing is skyscapers are cool af. I think the solution is the same as with cars and a lot of other things: moderation.

    The gain from building higher isnt linear. You have to use more space for elevators, re-enforcements, safety(fire for example), etc. The cost of the apartments go up drastically so most people who buy them dont live there, they just invest. Midrises are much better in all of these aspects. Also the materials needed for skyscrapers harder to mamufacture so with all of these they are just plain worse for the environment. Göterborg is a pretty good example of how midrises are better in almost every case.




  • Idk about other people but just learning c is so logical. You do stupid shit, you get stupid results. Of course there are a lot of bad things with c but at least when you sit down to understand how it works, it works while most oop languages are so detached from the hardware its hard to understand anything. It might be just me but oop breaks my brain. Also ive never coded in c++ but i automatically avoided it. I heard rust has very minimal oop and its just to make things smoother so i may try that.
