Taxes are fucking great. They offer the benefit of bulk buying power while reducing my day to day admin. Not getting the services you need because your government can't figure out how to invest in the country to provide those services SUCKS. Don't get rid of the taxes - Get rid of the government

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]

The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

Today's fun medical news is that we could actually investigate/fix my weird shoulder, but the only difference from what we're currently doing would be the addition of surgery The only real fix is to re-damage it and make it heal 'hopefully better', same rehab schedule

“I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved…” 🥰

smokeinsilence:
have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it's no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don't
viridianmasquerade:
I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade.
Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won't talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend's parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone l've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.
