You have to be able to invest in stocks or funds outside US from a US trader? Even though I’ve sold most of my US assets, I still own some US stocks through my Scandinavian bank.

That’s why I prefer hard SciFi like The Expanse books, where science is a main driver to life and motivations to drive the story.
- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 weeks ago:
Or invest in non-US to keep them safe. Like Norwegian funds while the orange is oranging to gain on the oil price boom, and then spread out to European and emerging markets when he has his first public stroke in a few months.

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? 3 weeks 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.

Sorry for being the one you saw coming, but I am now very fascinated that you can follow up on new ones.

You probably won’t see this, but I think you’ve gotten a response or two in your backlog.

- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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. 5 weeks 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.

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

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

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.

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] 1 month 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.
