That's unbelievable. The Greeks won't steal anybody's jobs.

They'll be going full China and make it a crime to deface the dear leader.

Yes, sure, and I'm not trying to defend or downplay the story. I'm just sharing the info that is otherwise only available in Danish.

The past was indeed a horrible time. Social experiments like these happened in many places worldwide. Similar things have happened in America, Russia, China, Brazil, France, Germany. All of which were done because people thought it was a great idea at the time.

Although the damage cannot be undone, at least these women will now receive an apology and some kind of compensation for the wrong-doing.

I do find the timing of the stories very peculiar in light of America's desire to take control of Greenland.

Earlier this year we had the story about displacement of children, now this, and I predict that next you'll probably hear about the racist hiring practices in the military, which also occured in the past on Greenland.

All of these happened almost half a century ago or more. There has been plenty of time to bring it up. I am happy that they do bring it up, so it can be redeemed as best as possible, but I do find the timing very convenient for certain people outside the kingdom who is currently interested in sowing division.

I agree it was wrong, and it was probably also illegal at the time happened.

For context:

It was done to avoid an explosive population increase which happened in the 60s.

At the time, Greenland had the worlds highest birth rate, despite having access to free contraceptives like condoms and pills, of which information campaigns had obviously failed. A lot of the births were given by teenagers aged 15-20 outside of marriage. Infant mortality also hit records with about 1/3 of the total number of deaths on Greenland being infants. I should note though that Greenland does not have a much higher statistics of inbreeding than elsewhere, despite rumours.

However, something had to be done to lower the number of unwanted pregnancies. The humanitary organization Mødrehjælpen (mothers help) did a test run with volunteers and it gave a positive result.

At the moment it is unclear who or why it was decided to roll out the forced spirals. An investigation of that is happening currently.

Humanistic psychology has a way to describe things in very long and broad manners that might sell a lot of books to schools, but contain very little practical information.

Also, they often use specific terms that can mean one thing in psychology but means something completely different to anyone in any other field, who have not studied the exact psychology book that they're referencing.

It's a lot simpler than described on wikipedia, and you do not have to discuss feelings with your co-workers.

The point of including your own feelings in the sentence is to turn to the topic away from fruitless chasing of logical arguments where there are none or they are irrelevant. It's about taking personal ownership of the problem, so that you don't claim that it is the other persons problem, even if they are the one who needs to do something in order to solve it.

Well, that was fucking waste of time for everyone.

Very old heaters used to contain lots of asbestos. It might have worked well.

It should be optional for free at least.

Forced ads should be illegal. It's quite literally wasting peoples lives and a lot resources.

Suburbs are fine for district heating, but it's a massive long term investment.

For UK in particular, I also think proper insulation and triple/quadruple window panes are much needed to curb with the increasingly scorching summers and freezing winters. I was surprised to see soo many houses with single paned windows in London.

The sand storage is used for district heating. It's not much of a substitute for single homes that have electrical heating or are off-grid.

It's a great way to balance both the electrical and the heating grids so that more electricity from renewables can be used to offset other means of heat production, but it needs to be done by the district heating supplier. I doubt it makes sense for individual houses.

The key is: Not fucking dying.

Now that is something I've never thought about before and also wish I hadn't read.

Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn't survive well outside the intestines, so there's a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.

However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You'd probably want to treat it though because you'd experience severe fever and other clear signs.

I'll achieve this knowledge in the "don't worry about it" folder.
