There has to be a scoreboard for this
In order to maintain complete transparency we removed the scoreboard and actually keeping score is illegal if we're losing.
- Probably Trump

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

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 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.

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.
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.

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)
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.)
-
what? no it doesn't. not even a remote hint of that come on be realistic. the lhibhd hh are barely squirming over the illegal deportations. Folks are whining about what not than anything else.
California checking in. I'm working on it, there's an effort to get it on the ballot.

The British Empire also had a no secession clause... oh wait

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

Kudos to the Greenlanders and keep it that way until the Turd Reich is vote out of office.

TIL. I've bought freeze dried lamb lung for my pups (they love it), but didn't realize lung is banned for human consumption in the USA.

No, please. Keep it forever. The USA was never and never will be a reliable ally. Good riddance. Forever.

Good.
Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.
This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.
Now... well... there is no escape apparently.

Actually that's exactly what constitutions are for and why chabges to the constitutions requres a larger majority thsn for normal laws

I hope to try haggis someday - at a camp out one of the other Dad’s had all the kids making something he called similar to haggis, and it was really good. The only problem is we let the kids try first so we were running out of organs by the time adults got to try some - I did not like the ones that were mostly liver
