The private owners of the line in question are the government of Denmark and the smaller towns around the city of Copenhagen.

Yeah, I hate it as well how the Finnish railways is organized. By it being a "Ltd." type of organization, it manages to incorporate the worst sides of both private ownership and public ownership in one. Almost any solution would be better than ours.

But it's still not private. Words have meanings and if we misuse them, we lose our ability to protect ourselves for example from actual privatization.

Ah, okay, so this route does not belong to Banedanmark, but to Hovedstadens Lokalbaner.

However, the web site of HL says:

Inden fusionen havde Hovedstadens Udviklingsråd overtaget statens aktier i privatbanerne, således at Hovedstadens Udviklingsråd ejer ca. 45% af aktierne i det nye selskab. Den øvrige aktiekapital ejes af amter og kommuner, som tidligere var aktionærer i de private baner.

^^ This means that all of HL belongs to government and municipalities. It also says that originally the routes had been largely privatized, but they were deprivatized in 2002.

Which you didn't do, though: https://uk.bane.dk/en/About-Banedanmark

The very first sentence there tells it's a governmental body under the Ministry of Transport. Unless Denmark has privatized its Ministry of Transport, it's not privatized.

So, some asshole is stealing money that is supposed to go from your country to Ukraine? And somehow that's a reason why Ukraine should not be allowed to remain an existing country?

Okay, so the majority of Finnish votes for opposing the genocide are okay for you? You're against genocide abolishers only if they are corrupt? That's good to hear, at least!

What are the democratic means you mean, more precisely?

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 4 points 3 days ago

...if you already have some understanding of what is being explained. This did clarify it a bit more to me!

How would you prefer Ukraine being supported?

Or are you just a supporter of colonial imperialism?

Is having unprotected sex not a rather idiotic thing to do, unless you specifically want to have a child?

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 4 points 6 days ago

It isn't rocket science, but it sometimes the condom having broken gets noticed only when the woman feels something liquid-ish inside her that should not be there. I wouldn't stigmatize inexperienced people as having had unprotected sex if they have done all they can with the knowledge they have to protect themselves.

The phrase "Plan B" was a phrase whose meaning a reasonably quick internet search did not reveal.
