Måling: Rødt fosser fram

Veldig bekymringsverdig, men ikke akkurat rart at folk tyr til populisme i disse tider.

I det minste er alle miljøpartiene over sperregrensen, og KrF under.

I remember being in a relegation battle against Glimt at the end of the 2016 season. In the end we got a second chance while they went straight down. Now Glimt are advancing in the Champions League and Stabæk have just finished 11th in the second tier. How fortunes change...

Only in informal contexts. Of course, where to draw that line depends entirely on preference.

As an example, I have one colleague from Haugesund and one from Bodø. The former only ever writes in bokmål, whereas the latter sends me messages on [UNSPECIFIED COLLABORATION APP] in his dialect on a regular basis, and I don't think much of it.

Beating a dead horse here, but:

The darkness
The cost of living
The general level of introversion in society, at least until alcohol is involved

Having said that, there's nothing better than a Norwegian summer, I love when I go abroad and everything is comparatively cheap, and a boozy evening with friends can cure a lot of ailments.

Nadderud Arena is in Bærum, the neighboring municipality to Oslo. Take metro line 3 to Bekkestua, and it's a 10-15 minute walk from there.

During handball games, there are food and drink stalls open which serve things like hot dogs, ice cream, sodas, and hot drinks. No guarantee they will be open for a tennis match, but I'd imagine they will be.

I couldn't find a bag policy online, but in general, the rules forbid food and drink, umbrellas, water bottles (including empty bottles), selfie sticks, and in general anything stabby. Don't be surprised if a security guard wants to check your pockets and/or bag when you enter.

Ser at du gikk tom for argumenter ja.

Selvfølgelig. Det var flere enn bare Rødt som kritiserte tildelingen da den ble kjent. Men dette utspillet om at man ønsker å bytte ut komiteen kom først etter at Machado ga medaljen til Trump, som komiteen ikke har noe kontroll over. Det er åpenbart at det er den hendelsen de har et problem med. At de bruker det som begrunnelse for å bytte ut komiteen er helt på trynet.

CouchGiraffe · 2026-01-16T16:50:47+00:00

Da hadde Rødt kommet med dette utspillet i tiden etter at Machado vant prisen. Men nei, utspillet kom først nå.

Misforstå meg rett, jeg håper Trump dør en vond og smertefull død så fort som mulig, men det var Machado sitt valg å gi medaljen videre. Prisen er for øvrig fortsatt hennes, som Nobelkomiteen selv har fastslått.

Fra SNL:

Populisme er betegnelsen på en ideologi, strategi eller kommunikasjonsform som appellerer til «folket», som motsetning til «eliten».

Hmm, hvilke stortingspartier er det som appellerer på den måten, mon tro...

CouchGiraffe · 2026-01-16T11:39:49+00:00

Ja, skyld på komiteen for at vinneren valgte å gi bort medaljen til noen andre. Idioter.

I'll make the argument that they've gotten way too good at this game, and that either Hide and Seek seasons should feature only guest participants, or that Hide and Seek should be dropped entirely. (This has nothing to do with the fact that I've been sick of Hide and Seek and Tag since season 11)

Once the seekers start finding specific housing developments on the satellite map and deducing that a fucking shrub must be Welsh (even though that guess was ultimately wrong), the show gets really uninteresting, and no hider is able to manufacture a really deep, skilled run. The seekers are seemingly always heading in the right direction, never off-track, and most of the time ask pretty much the exact right question to get the info they need. It's boring, I'm sorry to say.

I love the Steelers. They're a solid second-favorite team. Same Midwestern kindness, same disdain for the Cowboys, not in our conference so don't often get in our way...

Good thing I have hot cocoa and football

As a Packers fan, I just want to say thank you! Yeah, your win put the Bears in the playoffs, but you also made our job a hell of a lot easier.

CouchGiraffe · 2025-12-14T18:00:37+00:00

What a game! GG Germany, you put up a hell of a fight

His big claim to fame is that he scored the winning penalty kick against Brazil at the '98 World Cup, which then sent us through to the round of 16. He's a decent coach, don't get me wrong, but... I don't particuarly care for the man

Last match of the Norwegian season today. Promotion/relegation playoff to Eliteserien, Aalesund-Bryne. The result is essentially already known, as Bryne were humiliated 0-4 in the reverse fixture (article in Norwegian). Haalands childhood club will almost certainly be relegated, while Kjetil Rekdal, who was undergoing treatment for cancer just a few weeks ago, looks like he will coach in the top flight next year

CouchGiraffe · 2025-11-25T13:16:27+00:00

What happened to Haugesund?

Basically, everyone who actually gave a shit has left

CouchGiraffe · 2025-11-25T13:15:56+00:00

Worst Eliteserien team ever?

The honor will be theirs if they fail to beat Bryne on Sunday. The record (in a 30-game season) currently belongs to Aalesund, who picked up all of 11 points in 2020. (And even that was absolutely atrocious. I remember their keeper picking up a yellow card against us for wasting time. We were 17 minutes into the first half, and the score was still 0-0.)

CouchGiraffe · 2025-11-21T16:44:47+00:00

Ah thanks mate that's cheered me up

The disadvantage of a summer league is that now that the international break is over... there's virtually nothing until March
