That’s bad RNG, but there are worse spawn locations.
Speaking of which my youngest sons contact for his mom is Spawn Point and I think that is hilarious.
My original spawn was a dictatorship, I wasn’t supposed to be born.
Guess what, I left that dictatorship, now I’m in a different dictatorship (I mean its better, but only slightly better, with unique challenges like having to deal with xenophobes). Isn’t life just so wonderful? 🫠
Please don’t be Earth, give me a Class 3 civilization with a post-scarcity civilization.
When I was in the 8th grade I had a friend who had two kids already. TBF he should have been a high school senior but he had been held back four times (this was before school districts had really grasped the concept of passing kids to get rid of them).
His favorite song was “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2” by Pink Floyd which was very popular at the time and featured the lyric “We don’t need no education”. Even at the time I remember thinking “Tracy, you might in fact need an education”. I think it’s under-appreciated how much that one line from that one song had to do with the success of that album.
Pink Floyd is probably the greatest rock band of all time in my opinion. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 is their worst song and so freaking unsatisfying to hear come on the radio. It’s like when people’s only reference to Fight Club is “We don’t talk about Fight Club.” Okay great, you missed not only the entire point of the movie, but you can’t even wrap your head around what that one single line actually meant. But that’s why Fight Club (and therefore Palahniuk and Fincher) and Pink Floyd made money and were able to continue making great art for the people who are capable of understanding and appreciating subtext, so I guess I can’t be too mad. But I am.
Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 is their worst song
I mean, The Wall isn’t even close to being their best album. It’s not their worst, at least – thanks to Syd Barrett and The Final Cut.
Is it their best album? No. Is it still one of the greatest albums of all time? Definitely. Is Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 representative of the album at all? Hell nope!
“I didn’t do 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency to be called ‘sir,’ baby.”
And since this is America.
“Take on 500k in student loan debt.”
Let’s be real, 50% chance their life up to 40 was bankrolled by The First National Bank of Mommy and Daddy if they’re a doctor in the US.
“And your birth just put them in crippling debt that they will never be able to recover from. Enjoy life!”
let’s hope grandma is up to the challenge, after all, she’s probably 28 by now.
The good news is the baby’s parents already live together. Their mom could only afford a single wide two bedroom trailer.
You telling me they come in other si es?
Uhh what age are middle schoolers?
Should have been more specific. How should god know if they meant Norway the country or any of the other Norways, such as Norway, Iowa/Nebraska/Kansas/Indiana?
On that note: Guess which is the largest of the four Norways in the U.S. mentioned above? Unlike mastodon it seems like lemmy doesn’t support multiple choice questions, at least I don’t know how.
spoiler
Norway, Iowa: 466 people
Norway, Indiana: 327 people
Norway, Kansas: 17 people
Norway, Nebraska: 0 people?

East midlands, your grandma is 32 years old.
That would suit in firstworldproblems community. People in the US don’t get it how lucky most of them are.
And then there’s Mississippi
spoken like a person who has never stepped foot in the US in the last 8 years.
I’d imagine generational wealth matters more than location. Also don’t know if someone with more melanin than this child would want Norway lol. Urban US/Canada would be vastly superior in terms of high development index without being stared at like you just landed from Mars.
Norway has a sovereign wealth fund, everyone has generational wealth there.
Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund is currently valued at. ~$1.9 trillion USD.
They have a population of ~5.6m people.
They works out to be ~$340K USD for every man, woman and child in the nation. That’s a lot, but not anywhere generational levels of wealth.
Mind you, the above numbers aren’t perfect as it doesn’t take into consideration non-citizens living in Norway (who may not be eligible), as well as ex-pats living abroad (who would).
Norway has a massive refugee and immigration rate. They have historically been (near or at) the highest per capita. Their refugee system actually puts people all throughout the country. It’s surprisingly diverse, especially in cities.
Not to say there’s no racism, it’s just dead silent when compared to the seething hatred for melanin that permeates the fabric of US culture/structure.
Beyond that it’s rather egalitarian in effect and you’d actually get similar quality of life and outcomes as white Norwegians.
I rather be homeless in Mississippi than in Norway.
