After Hitler built a cult for himself, some senior nazi officials tried to assassinate him in operation Valkyrie. They didn't think they would be able to retain popularity without him unless he died a martyr, in which case whoever took over would be able to use it as a rallying cry. If trump is assassinated, that's exactly what Vance will do.

What the tech Bros think they're heading for is nazi Germany. But don't forget they're in bed with the fundamentalists. You're actually looking at a Christian version of modern day Iran. Once musk and trump have exerted control over the population, they'll be "taken care of" and you'll get Vance for the next 11 years.

Russia only cares about Moscow and st Petersburg. Britain and France have more than enough to turn those two cities into glowing glass craters.

They ought to have that in Norway. But Norwegian businesses are parasitic on parents.

The thing i like about the Finns is that most of them spend their first year sleeping in a cardboard box.

They only teach bokmål in the language courses for foreigners, even if you live in a nynorsk area. Until relatively recently school children were expected to learn both and if you were expected to reply to letters/emails in the same language as they were written in. That doesn't happen as much now.

I've had shared finances with my partner since we moved in together. It's worked well for us because she's really good with money. Probably not for everyone though. Basically we make sure everything is paid and put whatever is left in a joint account.

One of you should learn to shoot straight.

Perkele

Best for what purpose? Norwegian is best for understanding Swedish and Danish (Swedes have more difficulty understanding Danish than Norwegians do) Swedish and Norwegian are essentially a dialectical continuum.

Oslo dialect is heavily influenced by danish because back in the day if Norwegians wanted a decent education they went to Denmark. The more commonly used written form of Norwegian (bokmål) is still very similar to Danish (only as it's written though, danish pronunciation is fucked up). The other form (nynorsk) was created from several rural dialects as part of a nationalism movement and more closely resembles Swedish (not in terms of spelling but pronunciation) it's not as close as bokmål is to Danish though.

Finnish is a completely different language family but is very similar to kven which is spoken by very few people on the Northern coast of Norway. It's a nice sounding language though and a good way to sound like you're going to stab someone.

The correct language is the one that is spoken in the country you're most interested in. I live in Norway so for my purposes Norwegian is obviously best. And I don't need to revert to speaking English in Sweden or (most of) Denmark, which is nice.

If I had to learn a second north European language, I'd choose either northern Sami, Faroese, Icelandic, or Greenlandic.

Actually æ, ø, and å are regarded as separate letters in the Norwegian alphabet

Æ - like the a in cat

Ø - like the u in turn

Å- like the aw in paw

Here's a handy song about it

Colour me shocked.

I don't know. I'm a guy and I really enjoy the horizon games including the dialogue and character development. I don't think the interactions and dialogue would work if Aloy were a dude.

He's not wrong

Unless you get good with a sniper rifle its going to stay screwed for ever. Or if you actually have the gall to try to annex one of your neighbours. Then we'll take care of your problem for you.

I'm pretty sure the people who do interviews are not the ones who have to train them. Also, if you use chat gpt for writing your cover letter, structuring your CV, running interview prep etc etc. You don't even really need to be literate to come across as pretty put together.

You know you just called him a ball sack in Inuktitut, right?

If it's the only way to expell the Americans? Sure. I'm not sure you fully grasp how much Europeans hate inviting the USA to every party. Like if you take all the worst aspects of Germany and amplify them and then make them speak English, that's the USA. I'm not just talking about the fascism.

Like filling their drinking water with LSD, throwing some guns into the room and saying "HES TRYING TO KILL YOU!" Through a loudspeaker.
