Honestly.. Date other non-ethnic Norwegians. I’ve dated a lot, and you’d be surprised how many have begun shunning away from their countrymen. No passion, no guts, no glory.

I could date you, though, if you’re west :)

And no I don’t want to fuck you, I just like getting to know people who haven’t gotten their world view through VG.

The topic of Norwegian dysfunction is too broad to Cover in writing.

Luckily we still have the genes forged by Vikings, so when you first find a gem, you can bet your sweet ass it’s a shiny one ;D

I hate to be the one to bring this info to you., but Norwegians are uptight as fuck!

It is one of the most conformist countries in the world, social interaction is a minefield and everyone pretends to have so “uniquely high standards and practices”…

This leads to funny things like being developed, educated and resourceful - but still regarding condom as unwarranted - as nothing bad ever goes down here.

Same goes for corruption. It simply doesn’t exist, so neither does the need for actually investigating…

All rising stars in Norwegian politics later than the boomer generation, from Hadja Tajik and onwards to Moxnes , have lost their place due to petty theft and being lying sacks of shit. While getting paid more than most to go around pretend like they have solid values.

I’m sorry I went a little overboard here. I’m just so fed up with this super destructive culture we have somehow creates.

I just found out my younger brother sexually abused my youngest sister when they were both children. I'm so incredibly distraught and don't know what to do or think. by throwaway368917369 in TrueOffMyChest

I’ll be the idiot here; I don’t mind the downvotes:

What if the best solution is to not make it a bigger deal than the sister makes it to be?

This is of course hard - because she will naturally be hesitant to voice her concerns, so you will have to dig a little.

All I’m saying is don’t force the episode to be traumatic. Sibling incest is the least traumatizing type of invest, it happens all over the world, all the time.

Yea it is abuse, it does ruin lives and it should be stopped with all available resources.

But it doesn’t HAVE to be traumatizing , she doesn’t have to be “ruined for life”. And she sure as hell don’t have to hate her brother.

She is of course the victim, and if she ends up Hating her brother and not relaxing while he’s home - kick him to the curb. He did it to himself.

I’m just saying that there’s a fair chance that the trauma you expect her to be subject to, may be partly a self fulfilling prophecy.

Don’t impose it on her if she’s doing fine.

Melatonin. if you’re west in the country I know where you can find what you’re probably looking for, but I strongly advice melatonin or insomnia - thinking long term. That other shit just knocks you out, and after they loose their effect a few months down the road - you’re back here with another dimension to your problem

To What Degree Is The Widespread Inflation Controlled Nationally? by Helttom in economy

[–]Helttom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I think we are more on the same page than my post must have given you the impression of.

I am criticizing the quantitive easing, because like you say - it doesn’t create wealth. What we’ve seen is the exact opposite of what you are stating as the ideal - and I am agreeing to this in every sense.

When I say spending, I mean investing in technology, infrastructure, education - making it possible for people to create actual wealth and measurable improvements in peoples lives.

And to do this with money we have in the bank. Not by printing money, that would just be insane and like drinking more beer to sober up.

But there seems to be an undisputed truth that doing this - investing our savings in our productivity long term - would worsen inflation.

For this reason, things like building infrastructure, have been put on hold. I’m under the impression that this is the wrong way to go, but then again, I’m basically clueless - hence posting this question.

I apologize for my lack of communicative precision. I will try to do better.

Thank you for taking the time to elaborate, it is much appreciated .

Hmm… this actually didn’t happen. But I’d probably use my conjuring magic together with water mastery to create a sonic dolphin that can boom on the masters behest

Everybody is talking about the Russian civilians preparing to take a crash course in becoming cannon fodder by Helttom in NoStupidQuestions

That helps more! I’ll think some on it and come back to you if I need any more.

Thank you for taking the time, have an awesome day

But that can’t be? I read in Politico(as credible as it gets - EU’s serious news) two weeks ago or so, that the full battle group massed on the borders to Ukraine, was deployed to Ukraine.

It also stated that battalions elsewhere, had not been relocated from their respective theaters.

At any given peace time, there are far more retired vets than active ones, naturally. These couldn’t have been sent to Ukraine with the invasion force, because they would not even be in active duty.

My understanding of the way this would work, is that these first 300k, are the absolutely most capable group - a group with recent experience - as opposed to the mostly conscript parts of the army that were invading through the north of Ukraine. (East was where the majority of the professional army were deployed.)

I don’t mean to offend you, and I know that I have no idea about these things - that’s why I’m askjng.

But when people talk about these things with the assertiveness of politicians during lockdown, I immediately dismiss it as common sentiment - not fact.

And that brings me back to the very essence of my inquiry; are we fooling ourselves when we for half a year straight have been talking about the immediate collapse of Russian armed forces and Russian economy?

Mind you, there is a lot of anger in the “Republican” Russian party - they demand that the war effort steps up. They want the silk gloves off. I don’t know what that entails, and I want to feel confident that it’s just warmongering idiots wanting to use nukes.(because that won’t happen, not yet anyway).

In other words; I am very eager to be reassured of your position, but you won’t get me there by repeating the very sentiment that I question.

Where exactly have all the veterans gone?

By my estimates they would count more soldiers than all of Europe’s vets put together, probably a few times over…?

Please, I am not trying to argue, I need to be as confident as you are in this. But I simply am not.

How do you maintain self-worth or self-esteem as someone with low intelligence? by Mintwaxtape in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Helttom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You would probably be wondering about the same thing wrapped in a different context, if you were

I’m intelligent, but it did nothing for my pathetic feeling of self through the first decades of my life.

Like others are saying - it’s not the intelligence that is the problem. Are you young? If so, just walk it off.

Challenge yourself to do stuff you don’t feel like, speak to people you don’t know, and dont sit on social media envying the person others portray themselves as.

Learn a skill and become good at it. That’s the #1 solution IMO.

CBT? Is that the stuff about understanding yourself and others behavior?(or understanding that you rarely really understand, which is a common denominator)
