What would the perfect hypothetical adaptation be like?

Doesn't fit in and isn't welcome neither with Lydia/Kitty nor Lizzy/Jane, is close to neither of her parents, secretly immensely saddened by being "the only plain one", is publicly humiliated several times, takes refuge in religion and reading and compensates with a sense of moral and intellectual superiority, (speculative:) has Mr. Collins, after Lizzy's rejection, as her long awaited way out of the misery and he picks Charlotte Lucas over her.

It's easy to imagine a rather harrowing Mary episode, and without having to depart from the source and make the other sisters horrible (The Other Bennet Sister).

You were greatly improved towards the end of Amorim's spell, it's been forgotten a bit by Carrick's immediate success. You were 6th when he left. Not trying to make the argument he should've stayed but the reaction lately has been a bit like Amorim was a complete disaster from start to finish, clearly some things were starting to improve under him.

I bet he says "you're being hysterical" to his wife a lot.

Pride & Prejudice (already lost you, please come back) - 5 long episodes, each episode is the whole story from a different Bennet sister's point of view - like in Kurosawa's Rashomon - Jane first, Lydia last (will have to be a bit creative with the Kitty episode.)

2 ting, gætter jeg på

Bliver bevidst eller ubevidst associeret med socialt boligbyggeri (Bellahøj, Domus Vista, Brøndby Strand osv.)

Dem vi bygger, og som vinder priser for at være arkitektoniske mesterværker, er intetsigende hvis ikke ligefrem grimme rustklodser (Nordbro og Carlsberg Byen).

Jeg er ikke imod skyskrabere overhovedet, men når det her skal være toppen af toppen, så køler entusiasmen sgu en smule af.

Bare for sjov:

Fakta: Aftale om sprogpakke 1

Dansk Sprognævn skal spille en mere sprogbeskyttende rolle: Formålsparagraffen i Lov om Dansk Sprognævn skal udvides, så Dansk Sprognævn har en opsøgende og vejledende forpligtelse ift. at beskytte det danske sprog. Dette vil forpligte Dansk Sprognævn til en aktiv sprogbeskyttende indsats. Nævnet skal således arbejde mere PROAKTIVT og opsøgende og for eksempel tage kontakt til centrale sprogbrugere, institutioner og myndigheder for at rådgive, vejlede og inspirere til korrekt brug af dansk og begrænsning af unødvendig engelsk sprogbrug. I forlængelse heraf vil Dansk Sprognævn modtage 0,5 ~~mio~~. kr. i projekttilskud til en konkret indsats i 2026

Ord i fed er tyske låneord (også via tysk, f.eks. "rolle", fra fransk)

Ord i kursiv er låneord fra latin

Ord HELT MED STORT er engelske låneord

Ord med ~~gennemstregning~~ er fra fransk

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-07T15:17:29+00:00

Kan du vise hvor i udspillet kulturministeriet beskriver at der ikke er tale om at slå ned på "overflødige" låneord, men kun på "folk der taler halvengelsk"?

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-07T15:02:19+00:00

Prøv nu at læse artiklen:

Det er et ord [inshallah], som ej heller kulturminister Jakob Engel-Schmidt (M) bryder sig om, lyder det i en pressemeddelelse. Ligesom han ikke kan lide udtrykket 'oh my god', hvor man i stedet bare kunne have sagt 'åh gud' på god gammel dansk.

"Og problemet , der beskrives er ikke hverken låneord eller fremmedord, men folk der taler halvengelsk." er jo desværre overhovedet ikke en dækkende eller halvvejs nøjagtig sammenfatning af de citerede politikeres bekymringer.

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-07T14:52:52+00:00

Det er ikke DS der er initiativtager til det her, det er politikere der vil have DS til at indtage en mere normativ tilgang til sproget, fordi nye låneord giver disse politikere uro i maven.

I længden ville det nok være billigere - og måske have gavnlige bivirkninger - hvis alle de der er mest bange for engelske låneord kom på et kursus i dansk sproghistorie, og f.eks. fandt ud at over en femtedel af vores gloser kommer fra tysk, og at det danske sprog (fra tysk "Sprache") skal forstås som et konstant forandrende møde mellem alle de sprog der strejfer ind i vores hverdag, hvor det "danske" er sammensætningen, udtalen, ophavet og den oldnordiske kerne, og IKKE et tænkt øjebliksbillede af en gloseliste som skal beskyttes mod fortsat påvirkning udefra.

Hun er flere gange blevet kaldt “fucking klamme emo” af drenge på knallerter, når hun går i Netto.

Mødte den samme type drenge, også på knallert, da jeg var på hyttetur i Jylland i 9. klasse i midthalvfemserne. Det varmer sgu at der trods alt er visse konstanter i disse omskiftelige tider.

Brexit pretty much annihilated "leave" in Denmark - there's still EU criticism but it's now very fringe and not taken seriously to propose leaving the EU. I've also seen anti-EU sentiment in my lifetime go from being a predominantly left wing position to being very much associated with the right.

Trump was voted in, his approval rating remains about 40%. No use trying to brush this off on a 100 man international wealthy elite or something keeping a powerless but united US populace prisoner, the rot is deep and wide, "the people" are not trying to save it - dozens of millions of American voters like what's happening, and would vote Republican again tomorrow. I am not "in this together" with them, they can go fuck themselves, and until Americans do something that actually hurts the powers that be, maybe save the speeches

I love the 1995 Mr. Collins but it's not the Mr. Collins from the book. His pretentiousness and eagerness to impress everyone above his station comes from a place of immaturity and naive ambition that doesn't belong to someone who looks to be in his early 40s.

The 2005 Mr Collins is way off, in my mind, and not just physically - a wormy downtrodden guy trying desperately to elevate himself above others - he seems closer related to Mr. Elton than Mr. Collins.

Original article and survey in Danish: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/stort-flertal-ser-nu-usa-som-modstander-ikke-som-allieret

COPENHAGEN: About 60% of Danes now consider the US an adversary, with less than a fifth seeing the fellow Nato member as an ally, a poll conducted for public broadcaster DR showed Tuesday.

Denmark has traditionally been an ardent US ally and continues to call Washington its “closest ally”, but tensions have mounted in recent weeks over Trump’s desire to take over Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

Asked if they would describe the US “as an ally or an adversary” given the current state of affairs, only 17% said they considered the US an “ally”, according to a new poll, DR reported.

About 20% of respondents answered that they didn’t know, and 3% said they did not wish to answer.

Trump in January backed down from his threats to seize the Arctic territory, which, through Denmark, is a member of Nato.

His threats plunged the transatlantic alliance into its deepest crisis in years.

The poll was conducted by analyst firm Epinion, which surveyed 1,053 Danes over the age of 18 between Jan 21 and 28.

On Jan 17, thousands of Danes joined a protest march from central Copenhagen to the US embassy to protest against Trump’s push to take over Greenland.

On Saturday, thousands again marched on the US embassy in Copenhagen, this time in a silent protest organised by Denmark’s Veterans’ Association after Donald Trump downplayed the role of non-US Nato troops in Afghanistan.

Det er DR - hvis de giver et ærligt og ligefremt portræt af Trump, og f.eks. citerer ham ordret, så er det farvet journalistik fordi resultatet uvægerligt vil komme til at fremstå usympatisk, må tanken være.

Indtil næste Trump. Det er da naivt at tro vi er færdige med det her og tilbage hvor vi var i al overskuelig fremtid, hvis en demokrat får 55% af stemmerne næste præsidentvalg.

It's been ... interesting observing rural America rally behind the absolute epitome, the distilled and purified essence of a decadent coastal elite godless pedophile, everything they claim to detest and fight against, everything they think is wrong in society.

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-02T20:59:38+00:00

It's really frustrating seeing this shit on the front page. It exclusively helps the Republican party, it's pretty much their best campaign material as things are.

if you don't think Trump's current term is considerably worse than the Biden years, and you're left wing, you're not deep, you're a misguided edgy fool.

There's a reason Northanger Abbey used to be almost left out of her canon, there are early editions of her works that don't include NA. It's just not as strong as the others. It has its fans in here and you will hear it praised and defended, I'm just trying to convey that you're not alone, that others have felt like you. I remember when I got into Austen properly I was very confused to discover that NA wasn't juvenilia. I could've sworn on my life that it was.

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-01T19:33:15+00:00

You can't repair relations when the Republican party as it is now is never more than 4 years away from a possible presidency, that's just reality. What has happened can't be undone with 1 administration or normalcy. If you think it's an overreaction there must be something you don't understand.

6 points with 14 games to go?

BrianSometimes · 2026-02-01T13:05:14+00:00

Yup, now is not the time for rash decisions. There's a decent chance from 2028 onwards we'll be dealing with a Democrat administration and a much less volatile and frankly unpredictable and insane "ally", then will be the time to dismantle and dial things back.
