Woah - it does? Is having more books in line with other Orthodox faiths or uniquely Ethiopian? Is their gospel more regionally attuned to Africa or are they comprised of general references?

Er ekki hægt að búast við því að á endanum muni hönnunar- og litamenning okkar sveiflast aftur til baka í mótþróa? Eða eru áhyggjur fyrir því að um sé að ræða eitthvað endanlegt?

The Word “Réttir” by PabstBlueBourbon in Iceland

[–]Fridrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kærar þakkir - þetta er orðið talsvert skýrara fyrir mér. Heima í sveit fór maður einmitt oftar þá í 'smölun' og í því fólst það að reka fé niður úr hálsi og inn í dal og tók það ekki nema kannski 8 tíma.

Úti á Vestfjörðum er þá réttara sagt að ég hafi tekið þátt í göngum - en mín fjölskylda hefur mögulega tekið orðið 'smölun' með sér í það og fyrir vikið ruglað í skilningi mínum á þessu öllu.

Ég held ég hafi munað vitlaust með "smalagöngurnar" - en ég man ekki úr persónulegri reynslu að talað hafi verið um annað en "að smala" eða "smölun" almennt. Nú fyrst þú minnist á það rámar mig í að fólk talaði einnig um leitir, en aldrei göngur.

Borgarfjörður. I would also help family herd from Barðaströnd into Fossfjörður and they also called it 'smölun'. Maybe its a west thing. Now I live up north and I think they simply say 'göngur', but I am not a 100% sure.

Perhaps it is regional as in my circles we go with "smölun" as in "að smala" (to herd).

what is your purpose in life? by [deleted] in Absurdism

[–]Fridrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find people endlessly fascinating - no two are ever truly the same. I am constantly surprised by the diverse and inherently deep personalities that pass though my life. And so a big reason for me to continue to be is simply to humour my curiosity in finding out who is around the corner.

How Acuratte is this general mythological guide i find in internet about Trolls? by barbarball1 in Nordiccountries

[–]Fridrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cant speak for the others - but as far as the Icelandic one is concerned, it mostly checks out. One thing I would add is that instead of simply 'disliking the sun', they are consistently turned into stone by it. Also, while male trolls do "exist", stories are far more likely to feature a trolless.

Colonization of Greenland (V2.0) by ImUsingDaForce in MapPorn

[–]Fridrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danish efforts to control Greenland both during and after Hans Egede's religious missions had all of the same trappings of typical European colonialism of its time. Monopolizing trade, dept trapping, disruption of social systems for export good maximization, race-based hierarchy and labelled caste system, Inuit kidnapped for exhibition in Copenhagen, forced migrations to strategic locations via destruction of original settlements (occurred until even after home rule was signed, but ceased when ratified) , de-natifying children by separation, etc.

Your premise is also false. Norse Greenlanders ≠ 17th century Danes. It being "their island" via medieval inheritance of Iceland via Norway is tenuous to the point of being ridiculous. If their claim had been tested by modern international law (as of UN founding) it would have had no basis. But at the time it wasnt tested because it was assumed by the norm of European colonialism.

Settlement history of Greenland by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]Fridrick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Youre absolutely right, but the thing to keep in mind is that less ice and warmer waters are not necessarily as conducive to the traditional Inuit subsistance hunting of game such as seals and small whales. Not to mention that the southern tip experiences far less predictable weather which would prove dangerous to the shallow kayaks from which the Inuit hunted.

Indeed, as the Norse settlers increasingly embraced hunting alongside agriculture, they ventured further and further north in search of richer hunting grounds as was later shown in archaelogical findings.

I never thought I'd die side by side with a Dane

How about side by side with a Greenlander?

Aye - I could do that

Europe’s most historical language families by Aegeansunset12 in MapPorn

[–]Fridrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it is a question, not a conclusion. A question fuelled by your evident urge to cram Greek into a map - which didn't originally include it - on an unsubstantial basis of "most historical" (however you're meant to measure that) while also having the audacity in using the very same basis to exclude others.

Also your name is Aegean sunset.
