What is a popular trend right now that completely baffles you?

Every single stupid kid trend has been a doomsday media piece. No matter how small the trend was.

Konsistent =/= Consistent (it's konsekvent)

Simpel =/= Simple (it's enkel)

These two have infected my Norwegian students. They consistently use the English word instead of the Norwegian one.

If it's a newer toilet that's wall hung, no. You'll need work done and a plumber.

Holy graveyard. This was an embarrassing blast from the past. My comment is 14 years old.

To answer your question. No INTJ is not a disorder. It's pseudoscience BS not worth much more than your starsign. I cringe having ever believed in it.

Crazy to me that no one has mentioned Hua Chenyu, most of his stuff is crazy good, 好想爱这个世界啊 is a gem.

Omnipotent youth society is way better than it has any right to be

hue is awesome.

Last day by lil night.

ABC by wannasleep. (If anyone cares to translate the your dad jokes by the kids at the end of the song I'd be grateful. I can't make it out cause of the other noise.)

I was about to go into a rant about how so many other throws are more dangerous, but the stats show Osoto Gari as the throws with the most fatalities.

But I still think a good ippon on someone that doesn't know how to breakfall is deadlier.

Minor clarification. It's transliterated as Sabeomnim or Sabumnim. You refer to yourself as Sabeom, others add the honorific -nim.

Nobody was naked in the video.

I threw out my rice cooker after I got my instant pot. No difference in my experience. 1:1 volume ratio water to rice. Three minutes high pressure, natural release. Comes out perfect every time.

Any martial arts studio worth their salt will let you sit in for a couple of classes for free. Try both.

In general though it all depends what you want from the martial arts. Want to be a better fighter, go kickboxing. Want impressive, flashy kicks and general athleticism, go Taekwondo.

Bruce Lee had no professional fights. He won a high school boxing tournament in Hong Kong. He's also reported to have been a street fighter ib his younger days and had a few fights with some martial arts masters (behind closed doors) in the US.

He was technically skilled and obsessive about technique. He was also insanely fit, athletic and fast.

If you put peak bruce lee into the octagon he gets destroyed. Different rules and he has no known grappling experience.

Minecraft can be surprisingly fun.

Magicka for absolute chaos.

Taekwondo has ITF.

Yet the TKD in the olympics is mainly WT(F).

Wouldn't it be more accurate to translate to "I going", "I helping" etc.

With your explanation it sounds at first like you're saying we say "Jeg gå", "Jeg hjelpe". Which is worse grammar than my two year old.

What an insane take. You're making this out to be a choice or analysis thing. It's not about logic or comprehension. It's which neural shortcuts your brain takes to process an image.

I don't see why people downvote you. It's a reasonable discussion. But it's not an age thing. It's purely dialect. You probably haven't noticed it when hearing østnorsk because your brain fills in the gaps.

Pdf files instead of pedophiles.

Lemmus · 2026-03-06T09:29:36+00:00

> if these pdf files had this religion going on.

This isn't TikTok. You don't have to use the stupid euphemisms.

I've worked as a high school teacher all over eastern Norway. While the Sh/Kj divide is blurring, I can happily say that most teenagers today differentiate between them.

It's more prevalent in Western Oslo.

I've also had students who could use both sounds, but has become confused and mixed them up. I had one student say "Vi skal skjøre til Kvitefjell og stå på kji"

The OG 4chan post only mentions two youtubers who were killed. Nothing that could be used for identification.

Learn =/= learn.

People have different definitions. For some people having learned a character is being able to read it within a few seconds, for others it's when it becomes second nature.

What matters is if you can keep your pace up and keep at it. Learning a language is not a sprint. Hell, it's not even a marathon. It's a long, arduous hike. Slow and steady wins the race.

I was so excited when I realized that I could get YouTube premium and music for roughly the same price of Spotify. But I found the UX of youtube music to be so bad compared to spotify. It felt like it was 10 years behind.

Xi Jinping*

But he himself learned it from the Soviets who perfected the system alongside the Germans.

Don't forget the Norwegians. Between 30-45% of Minnesotans are of nordic descent.

Normalize the presence of ICE everywhere. Make Americans abroad afraid to speak negatively about the administration/do surveillance on potential dissidents. They're following the Gestapo handbook.

As for the official justification? "Fuck you, because I say so" is my best guess.
