"It's homeless and old people who can't make ends meet who can suddenly eat at a restaurant they've never been to before", says Tom Amtoft, who has lived in Nuuk for 28 years. He recognizes several of the faces in the photos from the Don Trump Jr visit to Hotel Hans Egede.

- "All they have to do is put on a cap and be in the Trump staff's videos. They are being bribed, and it is deeply distasteful" says Tom Amtoft.

If you ask me, a vacation doesn't have to be limited to special 4 weeks per year when you can make such a place your home.

Sure, it's $$$ (probably if you're not in Southeast Asia) but the perks make it so.

Seoul, South Korea

Venice, Italy

San Diego's Solana Beach, California, USA

Levi/Sirkka, Finland (for the Aurora Borealis)

Settlements around Himalaya Mountains, China (assuming you'd find a replica of such a location outside the autocratic states violating every single human right and will)

Notable mentions (I ran out of picture upload limit here):

German/Swiss Alps south of Munich

Black Forest

Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket - Thailand

Portugal, Spain, Greece or Italy for hot summers and clean sandy beaches

Paris, France

Türkiye (i don't know, like Istanbul and Black Sea seafronts?)

In the uk only 4% of people earn over £70k. How are you meant to get rich on that? It’s shit

Deport the illegal white people! Says a Texan. Lol

Like if they are walking by you, and you run into to each other, or get close and they let you walk past, do you typically say thank you or my bad without looking at them directly?

As a 90s millennials, I feel like when I was in my 20s, I was being told millennials are all in their 30s now and having kids, own houses etc. And now turning 30 being told that millennials are all middle aged now. It seems like 90s kids are forgotten about - lumped in with either elder millennials or elder gen z.

Most 90s kids had childhood and teens nothing like 80s kids or 00s kids.

I was thinking how cool it'd be if we had flamenco or something. then I remembered I'm German we have Bach Beethoven Mozart and more

It often seems that women feel they are oppressed more so now than they did when they were supposed ‘oppressed.’

If you read studies performed most women didn’t even want to work but were slowly coerced into working.

All people have been doing is upholding religious beliefs, traditional beliefs that actually lead to a better society. Yet many people believe they are all above that and know more.

I feel like they are doing they're job? Why should I pay extra makes no sense. But they should pay thier workers a living wage but again no one is forcing them to work there. Yes I do tip because I feel bad but still I feel like you shouldn't force people or make them feel bad whatever they decide to do.

That’s some serious on point smart investing. That’s some stock magic right there

We’ve all seen the push to make men and women the same in society.

My personal stance is that it’s a recipe for failure. All of these western societies are dying, they’re ageing populations, relying on net migration. Low birth rates and will continue to decline sharp.

If you love your society and people you would respect evolutionary truths about men and women (men hunt and forage and women nurture and preserve) - so men go to work and the woman is submissive looking after the kids and the home.

I understand with the modern economy women need to work more but they compete with men which is g*y. Traditional marriages and beliefs preserve society. When women become good at being men they have no kids. Just a detriment to a culture and people.

Recent statistics indicate that people are reading more non-fiction history books. Per Bloomberg, history books and podcasts are gaining popularity.

In the US, which has a generally flat book market, the history category grew 6% in 2024, research firm Circana reported. And it’s a global phenomenon: In the UK and Ireland, more was spent on history books in 2023 than at any other point since Nielsen started keeping track in 1998. In addition, people are getting their history fix through podcasts. Bloomberg reported the rise of several widely listened to history-themed podcasts, including “The Rest is History,” which has 12.5 million downloads per month.

What about you? Are you reading more non-fiction?
