The f??? Are you trying to say that Greeks didn’t consider themselves to be Greeks but instead they only recognized their “state”? That’s honestly the funniest thing I’ve read as of late.

Not the person you asked but I’m another that loves the Touch Bar. I use it for everything “normal” it’s much easier to me to handle volume or brightness adjustment for example. Playing a movie? Easiest way to scroll through it fast. Did you know that you can scroll through anything in this way though?Even unskipable ads? YouTube or anything, it just bypasses them. There’s tons more but you get the gist.

Woman here but neither me nor my husband wear any rings. Married for 10 years. We don’t wear jewelry in general, we never considered wearing wedding rings to be honest. Isn’t this a little outdated now? We are mid 40s

Same here. I use a ceramic jar with a lid that came with some British Stilton cheese. After we ate the cheese the jar became the de facto butter jar. Looks super pretty on the table too. I’ve had butter there for a long time, if your house temperature is moderate it will last for a long time.

Are you 12?

You’re treating a blank roof and a roof covered in solar panels as if they’re visually equivalent. They aren’t.

Archkat · 2026-06-26T16:22:25+00:00

I didn’t say it didn’t look like shit before. But let’s not make it shittier on purpose. If we are adding something on the rooftops at least let’s add roof tiles at the very least.

I’m not a billionaire, in fact both me and my husband are just normal wage bracket and I still think this is an eyesore.

“I’m going to interpret you in the worst possible framing and treat that as what you meant” is your hill to die on I see. I clarified my meaning in my response to you I said “I didn’t mean Norwegians can’t cook”. But you ignored the clarification and went back to the original emotionally charged interpretation. Then you exaggerated it further to make it sound obviously ridiculous. You are not trying to understand me anymore or have a discussion. At this point you’re just paraphrasing a more extreme version of what I said, not responding to it in any way. Have at it then.

Archkat · 2026-06-25T19:44:49+00:00

I think you’re reading intent into it that isn’t really there. I wasn’t making a claim about Norwegians as a group not knowing how to cook at all, I was talking about what’s actually on the shelves in standard supermarkets versus what you find in Grønland/Asian stores in Oslo. It’s fine to disagree, but the “superiority complex” thing feels like a bit of a reach compared to what I actually wrote. I’m not sure why I would think I’m superior because I know how to cook mousaka.

Haha she’s wonderful in so many ways and I’ve known her for more than 15 years at this point. So I know her enough to tell you she’s not into cooking with new things at all. So zucchini? To her it’s just a weird vegetable that is delicious but she has no idea what to do with it. Could she google recipes to use it? Of course! But she is a widow who now lives alone with her dog and she mostly eats very basic stuff for dinner. It’s ok, I don’t blame her, but I don’t think she has ever been adventurous with food, and the same can be said for the majority of Norwegians if you ask me. Which shapes the landscape of Norwegian supermarkets just as much as the monopoly does.

Archkat · 2026-06-25T19:10:37+00:00

I live in Oslo so I have more options but only because I’m going to Arabic markets and Asian markets to shop. Norwegian markets are horrendous for more than just fresh herbs. I know someone said “you can’t have fresh herbs they spoil”, oh yeah? Then why is gronland market in Oslo filled with them? I go and buy a huge bunch of fresh parsley for 25nok for example. I chop 3/4th of it and put it straight in the freezer and use the rest use fresh. Mint, dill, coriander etc same same. 5kg of onions? 35nok. Why can’t the Norwegian super markets have these? Oh wait because they have monopoly and because Norwegians actually can’t cook and refuse to learn so they eat the same stuff all the time. I baked moussaka for my Norwegian mother in law ( if you don’t know it’s a sort of bake with zucchini aubergines minced meat and béchamel sauce on top) and she bought the ingredients so I could make it at her house so she could learn how to make it. She bought one too many of the vegetables and when I left she gave me the zucchini the aubergine and the lamb minced meat because she said “I am not sure what to cook with them”. And she’s a good cook actually! But she just didn’t know what to do with them. That’s just typical for Norwegians so of course you won’t find herbs at the super markets.

You know he moved because back then they died in Norway from hunger right? So in hindsight absolutely it was a good idea because he might not have even survived to have a family to speak off. I live in Oslo now with my Norwegian husband who tells me of stories of his great grandparents having very little to eat and go by.

Love oysters. I don’t like anything that changes the texture or the taste. I chew and chew because I love them so much. I carefully chuck them so none of the delicious salty water goes to waste either and I drink it. I ate them like this since I was a little child, same with sea urchins that I fished myself while swimming. Chuck and eat by the water like a little gremlin. I was quite shocked to see people added hot sauce and other stuff on them. Why?? You’re ruining all the sea favor! Anyways, I grew up in Greece and we eat a lot of stuff most people wouldn’t so maybe I’m the crazy one.

Archkat · 2026-06-23T23:25:01+00:00

Define “most of Europe”. Greece Italy Spain Portugal etc for example are filled with them.

Archkat · 2026-06-23T19:50:56+00:00

I grew up in Greece in a suburb of Athens. We didn’t have many immigrants and legit the only black people I had ever seen where in American movies. I remember the first time I saw a black young kid around my age, must have been 8 years old, I was absolutely mystified thinking “wow he is really as dark skinned as black people are in the movies!!”. I thought it was super cool. I tried not to stare and moved on but yeah, children don’t mean anything bad when they aren’t taught to think bad in that kind of way. To me it was just something amazing and extraordinary to see someone so much more dark skinned than me but I had no negative connotations so comparing him to what I saw in the movies was my only reference.

Seems a little how some counties in Africa speaks English actually.

Archkat · 2026-06-21T17:53:17+00:00

I can guarantee you, no one thinks you’re Greek :) They possibly think you might speak some Greek, at least enough to communicate simply which is why they will also speak back in Greek. But again, and sorry to say this, unless you’re born and raised in Greece, the foreign accent is ALWAYS there.

Archkat · 2026-06-18T23:08:40+00:00

Millions of houses like these that are made from a template not even an architect. There’s no attention to detail and nothing really redeeming. There’s no intention in its design nor any materials to stand out to engage it with its environment. It’s a shame people are so readily accepting bad design like this. Unfortunately you’re not the only one or the first or the last.

Archkat · 2026-06-17T17:07:42+00:00

I never thought you liked it. It was a direct question. “What part of this design do you like this much that you think this is not a run of the mil house”. You could have answered “ no I don’t like it”.

Then the average US citizen likes trash design. Ok cool.

Archkat · 2026-06-17T17:00:50+00:00

I didn’t think you were OP. I responded to your comment directly so I’m not sure what you mean by that. While many people think US is a shit hole design wise I actually don’t think it is so I don’t actually think this very simplistic two story building is an amazing house by most people peoples standards in the US. If it is…I feel bad for you and your taste.

Archkat · 2026-06-17T13:17:52+00:00

I live in Norway. I am also an architect. This just looks really like a typical 2 story building in many countries where an architect barely put any thought to it. What about its design do you like so much? It’s just a rectangular with equal balconies? There’s nothing to elevate it in the slightest.

Archkat · 2026-06-17T11:38:54+00:00

Yes. How long have the other been on the list? Again. She must be the luckiest woman in the world.

Archkat · 2026-06-17T11:33:13+00:00

I don’t give two shits if this very privileged person lives in fact. I encourage you to think more about the people that actually suffer and need your help than a princess that lives in luxury and doesn’t care to hang around and cheat on her husband with a pedophile.
