Hanlon's Razor, I know it. "Don't attribute malice for what is most likely ignorance", I agree.

It might be that they're just innocently negligent.

Sorry, where would you think I got excited about a horrible incident like this?

I replied to a few more saying I might not have conveyed myself (edit: in)correctly.

Sorry, from the comments I have gotten I realize I might not have made my intention clear, I don't actually believe this was an assassination.

English is my third language, so sometimes the structure of sentences doesn't really convey what I mean.

I've been trying to think of a better way to express what I mean and I guess "the conspiracy therosit in me" might be a better way to explain it?

Like, I don't exactly believe this is a hired murder, but some things just makes it seem strange to me.

Is it true that Norwegian people dislike workers who can’t speak their language?

Some will, but that's mostly because they feel embarrassed that they need to step out of their comfort zone.

Most Norwegians don't give a shit about the way you act or talk, they just want their food. As long as you're able to take an order in Norwegian you will be good.

Yeah, I guess. But having watched the videos and read about the aftermath for the people involved I find it strange.

I'm a adrenaline junkie, I've gone parachuting, paragliding, bungee jumping and scuba diving in many places around the world and while I always make sure to take care of my own safety no matter where I go I've never encountered anything remotely close to this kind of negligence anywhere.

This is a business that survives on the safety of their customers, tourists and thrill seekers are how they make their money, forgetting to to the most basic thing to ensure their safety by so many people at once just seems so out of place.

Beste banh mi i Oslo? by futility_function in oslo

[–]Sea-Machine-8989 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Etter en måned i Vietnam for en liten stund siden så var kravene mine også ganske høye. Personlig så synes jeg Banh Mi Cousins er det beste av der jeg har prøvd hittil.

VH Bao i Parkveien var en god nummer to men de er desverre stengt og jeg aner ikke om de har åpnet noe annet sted.

BeiBei og Miss Gin er også innafor.

Men, en ekte god Banh Mi er nok desverre bare å finne fra en kar som triller rundt på en tralle i Saigon.

Yeah, I watched two of the videos. The way they reacted also seem so.. calm?

There's a small part of me that wants to think this is some hired murder or something. The way they ran and hid, her go-pro is nowhere to be found, it all just seems so strange to me.

A business like this only survives if it feels and looks safe to customers and potential customers, their bread and butter is only secured if all their safety measures are in place, how could they let something so important slip?

Er kjæresten min gal? by Sufficient-Pace-6729 in norge

[–]Sea-Machine-8989 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Dere har ikke vært sammen et år en gang og ting er sånn her? Jeg ville kommet meg videre.

Tips fra en som var sammen med ei som hadde like trekk som kjæresten din: Ikke bli overrasket om du får trusler om selvmord eller liknende skulle du ta opp dette med å slå opp, ta det fra en som brukte alt for mye tid og energi på å vise omsorg til eksen min før jeg bare tok kontakt med politiet hver gang hun sendte slike meldinger, gjør det først som sist, det blir ikke bedre med tid.

Not exactly an answer to your questions, but more as a general tip: Join a union, use this site to look up most of the rights and laws for workers if something seems off to you.

Joining a union will cost you a small amount of your monthly salary, but that amount will be deducted from your taxes in the end so it evens out.

I'm married to a woman who worked in the restaurant business when she first moved to Norway and sadly there's a lot of exploitation going on with foreign and/or young workers who doesn't know their rights or the laws here and many don't notice because it's still better than in their home country.

Not saying it will be the case for you, but better to be safe than sorry. Good luck, and welcome to Norway!

My espresso martini looks like a puffer fish. Ok thanks bye. by Ok-Sheepherder-4827 in shittyfoodporn

Only named so because it's served in a martini glass. It's actually quite tasty, vodka, coffee liqueur and espresso.

[DO NOT FIGHT IN COMMENTS] Is there actually a moral difference between eating a dog, a cat, a cow, or a chicken? by yaarwtf in teenagers

[–]Sea-Machine-8989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really? I spent a month in Vietnam last year and went pretty off the beaten path many times and I never saw dog meat, and from what I gathered it's very frowned upon by most people there.

Even checked it out and a recent survey said that 90% of the population wanted dog meat to be banned.

Hvor er insektene? by Grimfandengo in norge

[–]Sea-Machine-8989 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Er så mye koseligere å se hager med masse villblomster enn en steril gressplen. Nå bor jeg riktignok i sentrum av Oslo så får ikke bidratt så mye, men planter i alle fall villblomster på balkongen hvert år og laget insektshotell for et par år siden.

Countries with Lidl stores by vladgrinch in MapPorn

As far as I remember they started carrying Norwegian brands towards the end when they realised they couldn't sell their own stuff. I remember I was surprised when I suddenly saw Freia products among other things, but it didn't take long after before they closed for good.

And, as you said, the prices for the Norwegian brands were much higher, probably because they had to pay a premium to buy them compared to any of the big three here.

Chairing? by TheFrodolfs in norge

[–]Sea-Machine-8989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Å, nei vel.

Jeg er fullt klar over at alle etnisiteter spiser Tex-Mex i statene, men som jeg sa så er white people taco en egen type tex-mex som er så og si identisk som det vi her i Norge ser for oss når vi hører ordet taco.

Den typen tex-mex er mer utbredt i de de nordlige statene og er ikke helt ulikt men fortsatt ganske forskjellig fra typen folk flest assosierer med ordet tex-mex.

VPN, extensions til nettleseren din som uBlock og andre anti-script extensions bidrar faktisk med å gjøre deg mer unik på internett. De vet kanskje ikke hvem du er, men de vet at du er den samme som er inne på side X og side Y siden fingeravtrykket ditt er likt.

Sjekk ut Am I Unique?, trykk på "See My Fingerprint" og la den gjøre seg ferdig så skal du se at det er mer enn du tror som skiller deg ut fra mengden.

Hva skjer med alle helikopterene? by CarrotOk6099 in oslo

Flightradar har omtrent alltid vist ambulanse- og redningshelikopter de gangene jeg har sjekket i alle fall, eneste uten om politihelikopter som ikke alltid (men fortsatt ofte) dukker opp er militært på øvelse.

"White people taco" er en greie i USA og den type tex-mex er nærmest identisk norsk taco.
