Respelled snowflakes are so fascinatingly brittle.
- Comment on I'm nit sure tbh 2 weeks ago:
I live by the mantra “life is too short not to be able to laugh at it.” and focus on enjoying life.
I catch up on news, but it’s so bad, how can you not enjoy having a laugh at how stereotypical of a sci-fi extinction we are heading towards?
- Comment on pegging order 2 weeks ago:
I mean, it is way too small, but has four legs and two visible ears, so there’s that. But still, though.
- Comment on pegging order 2 weeks ago:
It itched for several seconds, so me dousing the ant hill in petrol and lighting it up was just rational.

What the actual fuck
- Comment on pegging order 2 weeks ago:
The US stereotype were created by the internet giving people like this a voice to be heard outside of their family.

- Comment on Meanwhile in California 5 weeks ago:
That’s not too bad! In Norway it is between £2-3. But most bus cards have been lowered from April, so there are some light points around.

“Ambulance fees” are the most dystopian words I’ve seen in a long time.

I had to get to your comment before I got the meaning.

For spring it’s anything above 15°, for autumn it’s anything over 17°.

Thank you!
You are right, it is a US specific distinction, hence why I needed to ask. In Norway and Europe we have charitable organisations, US nonprofit, and interest organisations, US not-for-profit, The difference between them are somewhat similar, but less formalised here.
- Comment on Do boys who had affectionate mothers growing up become more "gentle"? 1 month ago:
My mother was in no way, shape or form an affectionate mother for me growing up. But I have several times in my life heard that I am unusually calm, patient and pleasant to be with, so I guess one can avoid being shaped too much of ones upbringing if life is humbling enough in other ways.
- Comment on How do you fight abandonment issues when people keep abandoning you 1 month ago:
It is a process, but try to learn to be happy with having yourself and what you have for yourself, and nothing more. Then everything is good on your baseline living. Any addition to that is a bonus, and if that bonus disappears, the baseline is still something you are happy with.
- Comment on Is there a FOSS version of Waze or Google Maps? 1 month ago:
Honest question; what is the difference between a nonprofit and a not-for-profit org?

Norwegian, so Swedish and also Danish if it’s not too Danish and English. Enough German and Spanish to get by.
- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 1 month ago:
You’re doing good, but both “ingen av bedriften din” (no one of your company) and “dette er ikke din sak” (this is not your case) is equally wrong. Both are saying English phrases in Norwegian, which makes it sound strange. This is the closest I can think of in the early morning fog of mind: “Ha’kke du no’ med” - østlandsk “Har ikke du noe med” - bokmål
Instead of translating English phrases, I’d recommend trying to look up Norwegian phrases and see if any fits your need.

Is it because you a USian?
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 2 months ago:
I’d say the former, but not unhappy with the latter. In the case of avocado, it was for me a case of making sense of the taste. And it worked once I had a reference to attach it to.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 2 months ago:
People down vote like it’s a shitpost, but it the honest reason how I got accustomed to the taste.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 2 months ago:
I always though avocados taste were kind of bland compared to so many other foods. But when I was made aware that it actually tastes like a clean penis, and it actually does, I’ve come to enjoy the taste more.
- Comment on What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? 2 months ago:
The US population never got to unify as one people with a common culture, so they identify with their DNA to have something similar to what most people in the world has, a place, a culture and millennia of history you are an ingrained part of. There was political will to try uniting the population in the first half of the 1900’s, but their racial focus kinda was a fork in the road for that whole project.
So while the rest of us see them as solely US-ians, we have to suffer through the “I’m 3,17 % Bohemian” bullshit. And it is really stupid, but I do understand where it comes from.

Alcohol at petrol stations dreamy Scandinavian drooling
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 2 months ago:
In Norway, the same petrol stations are still here, but with charging stations as well. So even if there are new places with solely electric charging next to Ikea or fast food shops, the regular petrol stations run as they always have.
- Comment on (serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting. 2 months ago:
As a Norwegian I’ve lived in several parts of the country but never owned a car. I rent a big car for moving, a small car for shopping trips to Sweden, and take the buss one stop short or extra to stop by a store on my way home from work, and walk the 100-ish meters with the groceries for the next couple of days. With frequent enough public transport, a schedule is never an issue. And where I live now, it isn’t even that frequent in evenings and weekends, but buses and trains are aligned to make transit rather seamless. And it is better to be able to read a book while commuting rather than sitting behind the wheel.
Note that I’ve never lived too rural or northern, as that would require a car to make life work. Rural frequent public transport is sadly not economically viable.
