Danes have raised their retirement age to 70.

Since 2006, Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy and has revised it every five years. It is currently 67 but will rise to 68 in 2030 and to 69 in 2035.

The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.

I think I must be the only leftist who would be affected by this who still understands and appreciates that this is something we’re just going to have to suck up.

We cannot live ten or twenty years longer than our parents and grandparents and expect to retire at the same age. The math just does not math.

Should we be striving for better working conditions and protections? Yes. Should we be aiming to reduce our working hours and finding better ways to balance working leisure? Yes. Should we be fighting to see a greater proportion of the value created by workers actually facking delivered to workers? Of course.

But we just have to accept that we’re gonna have to work for more years of our (much longer) lives.

I don't disagree, if we're facing a pension crisis now it'll be 100x bigger if we retire early and live longer.

I don't agree. We could adjust the economic requirements in order to be able to enjoy life while working less. In people's life times the reverse has happened (women becoming workers and thus two incomes being required to support a comfortable living).

In the current economic system you are correct though, but we're in danger of treating our current model like a religion, just because it made sense at one time, doesn't mean it makes sense forever.

*I would argue that it can't carry on, even for more than a few decades without a monumental collapse. It's a Ponzi scheme that the planets current, nicely balanced ecosystems and environment can't handle.

This is a harsh punishment. What an error of judgement

TikTok dumbasses, brokeass Instagram flexers, and deadbeat so-called influencers.

I went there for a day, a couple of years ago.

Saw the Burj Khalifa, saw the Burj Al Arab hotel, both of which we’re fantastic but I see no reason to ever go there again

Big boy is threatening tariffs again

Weird that JD Eyeliner called the Chinese peasants, and at the same time, Trump wants their jobs back in the US

That Poundland pot-bellied Secret Service LARPer

Remember when people thought that the AI advancements which would lead to our demise would see Skynet controlling giant, self-supporting armies of high tech metallic monsters?

About two months ago, I think, I posted on here about testimony from a former google AI engineer (and now AI control campaigner) who was writing that we were maybe only two years away from high definition AI video which no human would be able to tell from reality, and even more scarily, about five years away from AI video which *no AI or other computational tool* would be able to differentiate from reality?

Well, it would seem that his estimates were a little conservative. Gentlemen, I give you Google’s VO3:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=ieA3t73Vf7KqTgz5&v=F4Y-bCZNQcA

We’re a few months away from cheap, easily accessible - basically ubiquitous - technology which will be able to create more than realistic video and audio content of anyone at all doing or saying anything at all.

Which, without wanting to sound like a drama queen, is quite possibly the end of civilisation as we know it.

On a positive note, I'll be able to appear in 'adult' movies with the World's most beautiful women

Yep, after the Butlerian Jihad 🤓

Harvard is suing the Trump administration after it revoked the university's ability to enrol international students, escalating a dispute between the White House and one of America's most prestigious institutions.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cje7ledqvyqo

The #1 Law School in America about to shows us what they know

Both candidates are as bad as each other, don’t forget.

The whole international student cashcow is a bit funky. When I was at Uni we had some fantastic international students but they were being fleeced, assume the prices are significantly higher now.

In Australia there's been a decent amount of scandals where people who could barely speak the language were getting degrees as they'd paid all that money and the University's rely so heavily on attracting more. I'm sure there was plenty of xenophobic exaggeration in the reports but there's an element of truth to it from what I've seen.

The university/higher education sector is a bit of a mess in general it seems, too much of a business, and from what a lot of graduates seem to be saying provides a lot less value than before although without a degree it's probably even worse.
