I think I’m half way through that already, but it doesn’t show up immediately on Helfo so I don’t know for sure.

If you receive a high medical bill, you should follow Luigi’s example.

That’s dark.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 1 week ago:
Probably. I was living in Bergen at the time, so it wouldn’t have been practical for me. I make British Christmas food anyway, which is a lot more heavily spiced than Norwegian Christmas food. So it works to just use baking margarine.

That was rough. It happened right before Christmas too. People were scalping butter on finn.no and supermarkets had to import butter from France.

Also I remember reading a newspaper account of a danish supermarket that actually ordered 1000 litres of milk by mistake. And everyone in Norway found it hilarious, because it happened after the sketch was aired.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, to an extent, but I don’t think it has to do with grammar as much as pronunciation. Norwegian (bokmål) and danish are almost indistinguishable when written down, but spoken Danish is pronounced very weirdly (a lot of swallowed and mumbled consonants that causes it to sound like the speaker has gotten drunk on their way back from getting a root canal and is currently struggling to eat a hot potato). Despite Norwegian having a massive range of regional dialects, Norwegian kids learn to speak a lot quicker than danish kids. Largely because danish kids just don’t understand what they’re hearing for longer. The Danes have to subtitle their own TV programmes because they don’t really understand each other. It’s a fucking mess. Norwegian kids understand Swedish before danish kids understand danish.

They really don’t.

I literally was going to say that exact thing. It’s why they had to ban kinder eggs. Everything from heavy grease to tide pods and small plastic toys looks edible to Americans.

You get those places in Europe too, but you also get places that are queer friendly, serve food and craft beer, have a good punk oriented jukebox, and the barman will start pouring your drink when you walk through the door because they know what you’re going to order.

A pub?

Fried alligator is fucking delicious. Even better if they’re fed exclusively on marshmallows and purple drank.

Im pretty sure he painted it. I believe He’s pretty well known. Although there’s a meme going round claiming it’s 100s of years old, which is incorrect.

I think it might just be toilet humour.

- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
No I also tend to have about 12 irrelevant tabs open too. But it’s all down to executive dysfunction.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
While I was writing my master’s thesis I tried to put things in the bookmarks folder and ended up re-researching a lot of topics. It ended up being much less work having 6 browser windows open across 2 monitors with a bunch of tabs relating to related subjects. For example window 1 might have only papers related to retrograde tracer studies in the medial entorhinal cortex, window 2 has anterograde tracer studies in the insular cortex etc that way if I needed info on any of those subjects I could flip through the tabs related to that topic before searching for a paper.

ADHD is a spectrum disorder much like the tism.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
I’m never actually going to look in the bookmarks folder so why would I put anything there?
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
The whole entire world is a giant fucked up mess run by mentally handicapped billionaires. Shits fucking terrifying and we’re all cooked. Having a neat browser window isn’t going to fix that.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
People with ADHD (I speak from experience) have shitty working memory, poor organisational skills, are easily distracted, and a tendancy to procrasate.
Therefore you start researching something for work/uni (4tabs) I’ll come back to that after a little YouTube break (+3tabs) I’ll watch those videos later I need to get back to work (+4 tabs that are duplicates of the first 4). Time for home, when do I need to catch the bus (+1) and the first 12 tabs will just stay open till the next day because you know you won’t remember what you were doing.
