This is how I read it initially

Amen, brother (or sister)

What a great username you have. Given that you’re in Norway, are you related to this guy?

Christmas cards aren’t really a thing in Denmark. Like we don’t ever get physical mail. Perhaps one letter once a month or something? Everything goes through our digital mail or email

I’d like to think it won’t even be necessary with a save icon as autosave becomes more prevalent. If I’m wrong, one option the icon could be is something like a “snapshot”

I do data engineering, so to software engineers, the answer is no. To non-software engineers, they’d probably say yes

Also there’s 非洲 - meaning the “non-continent” directly translated. It’s what they’ve named Africa.

Very very cool! Thank you for the links

I didn’t know that, thanks for the fun fact!

Ooh interesting! Will have to try that.

Never even made Jamaican food! Do you have a go-to recipe or chef/youtuber you’d recommend for jerk marinade/Jamaican flavours?

Also use some wine for even more smells! Even when cooking Western food, I’ve grown fond of using a little bit of Shaoxing wine, and replacing a bit of salt with a dash of soy + fish sauce for more complex umami

And in Dinamarca!

Austin powers reference: “there’s only two things i hate in this world”

Depends on how you convince them. I told my kid “I want you to wash hands after toilet.”, And I always wash my own hands - so he learned it too. I wouldn’t say that this is manipulation, as I was upfront about my intentions. But it was persuasive.

Danish person here, I reckon it also helps a lot that our education is free in the Nordics, and public transport is so good we don’t need to be given a car.

I tried cognitive behavioural therapy which helped with a bunch of other stuff, but didn’t help me get to the root of my core challenges. I’m with one now which does the following (according to her website):

Theoretically, I am grounded in the psychodynamic tradition and the neuroaffective understanding of attachment and emotional development.

I realized the books I’ve read and got a lot out of may only exist in Danish: “Drop opdragelsen” and “derfor forelsker du dig aldrig i den forkerte”

I’ve been there. Reasons for this might be different depending on who you are. For me, I’d been hurt by the ones that I loved, and subconsciously put up a wall to protect myself so I was “prepared” in case I would get hurt again. On the flipside I also couldn’t be my most authentic self, so I felt a lot more distanced when being with friends and family. For me, a lot of talking, therapy, and books helped me tremendously, but I’m still on a journey.

So yes, it’s normal, and it can get better.

Propane and propane-related accessories

Dane here, it’s quite normal, no idea why

Nah I love going out
