And how do you think unions come about? Historically it's by setting things on fire.

I take apart bombs, missiles and other explosive ordnance for a living, and sometimes we have to wrap certain components or fuzes in aluminum foil to lower the effects of RF on them for transport. The general rule I follow is if you could put it underwater and water would get in, then radio frequencies won't be deadened. So if she wants to be protected then she would have to create a watertight seal around her head and do us all a favor.

Woke is when people fall out of your aircraft and then you kill your own employees

Maybe being the kind of person who refers to it as sloppy 1/80s has something to do with it.

The chest and stomach windows

Are too similar

for me to not see it

The outfit alone was enough for my wife and I to both instantly go "oh that's some Barbarella looking shit". The context of it being at a scifi premiere cemented in my mind that it was an aware homage but I could be wrong.

I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.

Really? Trump mentioning that most nato members do not meet the required defense spending undermines nato.

As a member of a NATO military that doesn't meet the targets for spending, I agree this doesn't undermine NATO, it's just the truth that we need to start pulling more weight monetarily.

BUT that's not the point and you missed key details about what he said that absolutely DOES undermine NATO, such as:

"I said: 'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?'... 'No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want. You gotta pay.'"

So you're showing that you either didn't read the article, didn't understand the article or are being willfully ignorant of the article.

That's nice of you to say. What do you suggest he does about it? I'm so sick of these spineless, yellow-bellied Internet commenters saying that something should be done about it and suggesting precisely fuck all. OFFER A SOLUTION, ALREADY, YOU COWARDS!

Edit: Mocking tone aside, I'm serious, what can Jens realistically do? Kick the USA out of NATO? That's Trump's goal anyways. The issues with Trump are an internal American issue that can't be fixed by Norwegian politicians unfortunately.

That's one way to look at it, if you're looking to downplay the human impact. The way I look at is these companies had a short sighted hiring spree and now thousands of people are without income and can't just get a new job as the industry is laying off everywhere. That seems like a reasonable source of panic for the people with no income and not a lot of prospects.
