I mean, probably not with a second cousin, unless you do it for hundreds of years. Greater risk of birth defects if you have children over 30.

How often do you take him for a walk?
So many people on this thread are defending leashes, yet they don't exist anywhere but in the US, so...
I have never ever seen a kid leash in Denmark or any country I have visited, and yet kids here don't run around in stores acting out or disappearing.
I don't know, they seem dehumanizing and humiliating to me. If other countries can raise kids (incl kids on the spectrum) without them why can't the US?

The kids are alright
My experience as well, kids are nicer to each other than we were in the 90s for sure.

High degree of unionization (90%+), no state interference in negotiations between worker unions and employer unions, fixed term 4 year collective agreements, a broad understanding by both workers and employers that everyone has an interest in a strong economy and a flexible work market.
Also sometimes known as the Danish Model.

Watching from Scandinavia it's pretty bizarre to see all these weirdos appropriate our culture. Like, the vikings were by all accounts not particularly racist or race minded.
They were traders and occasionally pirates who loved poetry and storytelling and fighting amongst themselves. They'd go somewhere and settle and just freely intermingle with the local culture to form hybrid cultures like Norman, Russian, etc.

Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
This is kind of hilarious in a dumb way. It's going to hit american consumers like a goddamn hammer, and will be rewarded with tariffs going the other way, and we'll all be poorer. Americans most of all.
If he keeps going like this you'll end up with stagflation - high inflation and a stagnating or recessive economy. That shit is hard to get out of, good luck.

pathetic
Rome nearly collapsed many many times, and arguably did collapse when going from Republic to Principate, , then again in the third century before Diocletian reformed the empire and founded the Tetrarchy, which then collapsed and turned into the Constantinian system with constant civil wars.
Rome was very very far from stable, and in fact one of the defining phenomenons during the entire period was a lot of political violence and class struggles.

Problem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you'll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn't have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

People turn fascist when they're desperate and angry, same as always. So when people experience economic hardship they look for somone to blame, often immigrants. So we call them racists, and I guess that's true, but it comes from something else; economic inequality.
In Europe we do the same thing, in the French elections the rural population voted overwhelmingly for the fascists - here in brown.
In the German elections, the poorer former East-German provinces also supported the fascist AfD, here shown in the darker colours.
Even in Denmark, where I live, the more right-wing and extremist parties are popular in the southern, western, and northern parst of the country - the poorer rural areas, who's seen their jobs disappear, their shops close, and their income stall even as the country as a whole gets richer.
So the challenge of liberal democracy is clear; show the population outside the cities that they, too, can get their piece of the pie. If we cannot solve that, then we'll see more countries turn fascist in the next decade.

The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says Trump
I am sure we can come to a deal where the US extends the territorial defense of Greenland, they already have bases and troops there.
US companies are also very welcome to invest in mining operations, if they think it's profitable.
This is about pounding your chest and looking strong, treating the world as a map painter strategy game.
