    It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.

        I think you're thinking of Surströmming, which is Swedish and absolutely vile. (Properly prepared) Lutefisk is quite mild though definitely weird, even if you're used to stuff like pickled herring. Ordinary pickled herring is fermented in brine (and own enzymes), intensity depends on age at the tail end of things you get fish sauce, Surströmming is fermented in lactic acid, Lutefisk is not fermented at all it's stockfish (dried without salting) rehydrated in lye, then properly rinsed and cooked. It's mostly the texture that's weird.

        If you find yourself in Scandinavia one thing to definitely try is elk salami.

        Yes! Surströmming is the right one. Years ago I saw a video of a couple of guys trying to eat it. One managed to shove some in his mouth before the puking started but the other started puking as soon as he smelt it.
        That would be worth a special import 😄

          Yeah, most Americans are too cowardly, or dumb (or both), to do anything meaningful. They prefer to sit by and watch their country get demolished, because trying to stop it would take effort.

            I watched a video of someone demonstrating how to properly eat it and it involved a whole process of opening it up in a bucket of water and staying away to let the gases out, then taking it out and putting it in sandwiches with vegetables

              I probably wouldn't have tried durian or nattou if I didn't know what they were, but maybe I'll notice some exception some day. (I might have still tried haggis since I don't recall it having any smell to it, but I wouldn't feel better not knowing what it was.)

              Haggis doesn't really have a strong smell, tastes good though (btw, if you ate it in the US, it probably didn't have sheep lung in it because it's banned over there)

                  In order to maintain complete transparency we removed the scoreboard and actually keeping score is illegal if we're losing.

                    Particularly as the US has a no backsies law, which makes it illegal for any US state or territory to gain independence in the future.

                    External self-determination cares little about national laws. That's kinda the whole point. The real question is what type of conditions need to be met before a right to external self-determination arises and is recognized by other countries. In general, most countries don't recognize a right to unilateral seccession under any condition. At the same time, it is also agreed that if a state were to make the practice of internal self-determination virtually impossible or meaningless, then a right to external self-determination should arise. In which case any "no backsies" rule under US national law (even the constitution) may be seen as a breach of fundamental rights.

                    With independence, it usually comes down to who has the bigger stick (in both material and ideational terms). The are definitely scenarios in which US states can make a valid legal case for independence but the conditions for that still haven't been met as most international lawyers will agree that Americans in all states are afforded the right to internally self-determine. For now. Things are changing quickly.

                      American representatives have been going around knocking on one door after another in recent days to ask if they would like to have a visit from the vice president's wife. Everywhere the answer was the same: "No, otherwise thank you," says Steinmetz.

                      ahahaha! Greenlanders were far more polite than I would have been.

                      "no, otherwise thank you" (nej, ellers tak) can be said in a variety of ways.

                      The entire purpose of adding more words to a "no" is to have more words for expression.

                      Even in the most polite way it basically means "definitely no".

                        Lutefisk? That's Norwegian.

                        Honestly tho Hakarl and Lutefisk are locked in an eternal battle for the revolting seafood jerky award

                        Hákarl made me projectile vomit. Now, pickled herring on the other hand, I learned to love.

                          I mean, yes, that's certainly part of it, but the other parts are that we (Americans) live among extremely well-financed and equipped (courtesy of military surplus) police forces who are obvious in their zeal to terrorize and extort citizens, while also being insulated by legal buffers like "Qualified Immunity."

                          In most cities, the police take up 40-50% or more of the budget, and produce essentially zero benefits, but will always be enshrined because they protect the status quo and the top wealth layer's property, and are willing to use force to ensure the most vulnerable are kept fearful and destabilized.

                            Hmm.

                            That sounds far more revolting that Lutefisk. Lutefisk just isn't pleasant, but I don't like seafood in the slightest.

                              You mean Greenlanders don't want to invite a fucker that's trying to colonize them in for a spot of tea? Color me surprised.

                              Maybe they could try bribing homeless people with food again?

                              I actually AM surprised that they don’t have one village idiot who loves Trump. It always seems like there’s one asshole who wants to wave the Trump flag as a fuck-you to their world.

                                I had it here in Canada, decades ago. My memories are vague but I remember thinking it wasn't bad at all. (Probably no lung, but there was definitely stomach.)

                                      It did not. No Parliament can bind a future Parliament. Indeed the vast majority of possessions gained independence via legal means.

                                        I'd bet at least some were a lot more graphic than what was reported. I'd really love to like, run into a Greenlander in this thread whose door was knocked on and hear what they actually said. There had to be at least a few "go fuck yourself with a rusty crowbar" type responses
