I don’t think you’ve fully realized what is going on. The message Trump is sending is “if you do my bidding, there will be no consequences”. The law is now a tool to protect those people Trump wants protected, and a weapon to hurt those Trump wants hurt.

Classic fascism. Buckle up.

I don’t understand. Surely they have foods that are vegan besides bread and water, right? Like, some vegetable being served or something?

Is this really where you are talking about?

One of us doesn’t know what socialism is, and I want to be very clear here that it might be me.

I am under the impression that socialism is about the government owning industry, not having a robust social safety net. Though, from that link you provided, Norway happens to be an exception in the Nordic model, and actualy does own some industries. So I guess we’re both right? haha

It’s funny because I almost left that out.

I’m pretty sure that Norway is capitalistic, just like America. The difference is mostly a matter of degree, not category. I definitely could be mistaken, though.

Well, I really doubt anyone is being serious in this entire thread but the parameters were simply that it was something one person could do (inferred), and that it wasn’t illegal.

I think my solution meets those requirements.

At the risk of making the OP’s problem worse: https://www.visittromso.no/ for the curious.

Considering some of their comments, doesn’t seem likely to be right wing. Most of their complaints are anti-capitalism in nature. The rest of your reply is certainly plausible.

A quick scan of the OP’s history suggests that they live in Norway, but I don’t know if that tells us anything about what a “small town” is. Nor do we know why the town is popular. It’s at least plausible that tourists stay in that small town because there are so many places to stay, and it’s close to some area that is the real reason the tourists are there. (like a mountain to ski on, or something).

I doubt the OP expects a real answer, because they didn’t provide enough information.

Run for mayor (or local equivalent), win, and then push for/implement a bunch of rules that make the town inhospitable to tourists.

I assume the tourism brings in money to the local community, yeah? Cutting off that income will probably mean you won’t be able to win the next subsequent election, so act fast.

It’s a law specific to Georgia. An article about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/15/fulton-county-jurors-names-public-threats-trump/

My wife had a guy start at her company the same day she did, but he got fired that same day because for reasons no one understands he decided it would be wise to make his Teams (or whatever they used. Slack? I can’t remember) profile picture a meme that said “Epstein didn’t kill himself” or something to that effect.

It was a six figure software engineering job, too. I cannot imagine losing a job like that for such a silly, self-inflicted reason.

Apparently I didn’t dig deep enough! Thanks a lot for the heads up.

Seems neat. I wish there were a way to add custom fields; I would totally use this to keep track of my liquor cabinet contents. (I use a spreadsheet for this now.)

I know it’s not the general use case this though, but that didn’t keep me from getting my hopes up haha.

I have to admit that I always thought she was agnostic, if not atheist, from that Pope stuff.

I idly wonder why a gay feminist would convert to Islam. Aren’t those things incompatible? Is this my ignorance showing? Are there sects of Islam that are more open minded, like there are sects of Christianity?
