  Norway at it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Saw the New York “heavy snow” earlier, and I might be Norwegian, but that was kinda cute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If definitely is in the state of social awareness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never wish for that, but seeing a positive number wouldn’t hurt these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In normal grades, 10 degrees in the autumn means winter is almost upon us, but 10 degrees at spring is t-shirt weather. And 20 degrees through the night means it’s impossible to sleep because you’re drowning in sweat. Probably very Norwegian issues, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was answering to a comment, not the main post.

  And while most European monarchs have “final approval” for new laws, they are technically powerless, hence why I specified just that. It is a traditional technicality, with no real power behind it any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Norway, Sweden, Denmark and UK are just the first that come to mind. Probably most of the rest as well.

  Today it is more a traditional technicality, but the monarch most often still “has the final say” before anything are put into law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To make it more interesting I have program that randomly gives out coordinates. I then sharpen my aim to hit the required target⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a splashback guarantee toilet shape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So how would you handle this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are those 1m screws or is it just in the Scandics that floors are at least 50cm thick with isolation and sound dampening?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Epstein files are the distraction?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Even outside of the US, he is everywhere. Luckily we also have lives, so we get a distance, but I can only imagine the overwhelming everything all the time working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like high heels for men riding horses in western Europe were a masculine trait when they were invented and still are today. And don’t forget the knightly colours of red and pink. No woman would dare to feminise such manly things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would think “Finally something not negative for women happening there”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the USA decided to use another language as its *de facto* national language at it's founding? How would it affect the world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seeing as the first Nazi loss was by British and Norwegian hands during the war, and the main argument for most Scandic communists before it was more anti British than anti US, the British commonwealth probably still is the major driver by it being a major western world second language, starting before major US influence started 80 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird that whenever there's an internet disruption, the first thing that I assume is happening is war, civil unrest, or government censorship, or some sort of conspiracy happening?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a non USian, I would assume it’s again another US company fuck up we need to get away from going forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In eastern Norway there is always a bit of chaos at first snow fall, but that’s just for the first day. The next few meters of snow throughout the year is no biggie. Come on guys, there has been ways to handle a cute, little blizzard with a car for a century now. Get with the program.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And here we complain that a GP appointment with full blood panel and whatever is needed is closing €30.

  You guys need to start voting towards civilisation instead of against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  YSK you don’t get a medical bill in a civilised country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping the tutti frutti coalition proves fruitful and Red gets their national commuter ticket next year as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is *shower*thoughts, but is there a "snowstorm thoughts" for when you have random nostalgia moments about the past? Particularly about a past snow storm in your childhood, like the SNOW DAYS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to work the one day in January 24 when the Norwegian train company told everyone that could to stay at home. Spent five hours on my normal 45 minute commute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I took a picture of the back of my pizza box for you guys just in case you were stuck home because of the snow and needed something to do.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Norwegian, the US snow storm seems really cute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This got me curious, what is it with Nordic languages that is so off putting to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like learning Norwegian (bokmål) while living on the west coast. French vocal r, secondary Norwegian language, one hour travel north or south can be regarded as a completely new language. Nice fjords, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one mention the Norwegian butter crisis!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1 % of GDP from every country to a European army would make that possible without completely sacrificing national armies.

  This is why I love Lemmy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opera: A Legacy Browser Lost | Why the modern hollow shell of Opera has made it impossible for me to recommend a former favorite.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Norwegians with a clear musical preference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hatred for new accounts on Lemmy is related to people's inability to debate the merit of a post on its own so they engage in ad hominem and strawmen fallacies to weaponize their weak arguments.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent the first 168 hours on Lemmy understanding it, finding communities I liked and getting the vibe of the place And within those hours I learned that accounts younger than mine with shower thoughts weeks of showers long, are most often not a building block of a community, but are rather intent on irritating, disrupting or just being way out there. Often actively being an unwelcomed part of it all.

  Everything is always better when people act like people towards people. And you would never need to create extra accounts to communicate with people if you acted like a decent person towards others.

  So more often than not, if you are new and you already know everything, you are a walking red flag that will have to prove you are not. Because if something is too good to be true, it most likely is.
