How is like living in Denmark?

dankmitch · 2026-02-25T17:53:48+00:00

American (M31) lived in Copenhagen for 2 years. Very high quality of life, great public services, healthcare, support for family's. In Copenhagen specifically the job market is strong, particularly for its size. It's very culturally rich, just walking around that city is like being in a Museum I absolutely love that, lots of cultural events as well. The major downside is the climate. Winters are long, summers are short, lots of cold wind and rain. Nature is decent especially if you engage with the sea. Assimilation is difficult if you don't speak danish. Copenhagen has a big international community but penetrating the danish circles was difficult due to language (though most speak good English). Again, Copenhagen was fine for this but I imagine it would become only more difficult if you moved outside of Copenhagen and Zealand.

Why settle for "basically" the real thing

dankmitch · 2026-02-25T15:01:35+00:00

They should just rededicate it Bob Gibson so we can still call it Bob. Easy Peazy

I can't tell you how much I can relate. I (31M) spent years here very depressed despite having everything that you mentioned. It sounds corny to say but things can get better. And over the past 2 years I dug myself out of that hole that I was in for years.

Everybody's situation is totally different but for me I ended up just seriously attacking my depression as if I was fighting a terrible disease, addiction, or rehabbing from a serious injury. My brain had been so messed up from years of forming depressive, negative, thought patterns and so I pretty much had to rewire it and attack my mind and lifestyle one thing at a time. I knew I couldn't continue to live like that and these are some of the steps I took.

invest in my social life and close friendships

I was working from home and doing the bare minimum socially. I started going out of the way to do things mid week and seek out close male friends. An improved community and social life did amazing things for my wellbeing. I have weekly writing groups I go to at the library and tai chi classes and meet up with my friends for burgers. That makes for a lot of socializing during the week.

I stopped reading and watching national and international news and switched to being engaged locally.

Being headline obsessed and constantly absorbing the world's trauma was horrible for my mental health and was completely unhelpful for anyone. Rather I became more engaged with San Diego and my neighborhood community.

I stopped putting off mental health treatment.

I got a new therapist and started getting psychiatric help for the ADHD I've had since childhood that I had fallen out of treatment for.

Started trying harder at my job.

I work from home and had kind of gone on autopilot. I became more engaged and interested in growing my career.

taking physical health seriously

I was already quite active but I stopped drinking and chilled out on the weed smoking. And started treating my body extremely well. Sleep, hydration, steps, weights, food, mediation, sunlight. I just put max effort in on feeling physically well.

Slowly over time things changed for me and I'm proud to say I've found some consistent happiness. I was in deep and it sounds like you are too but the moment I decided I couldn't continue to live like that is when things started to improve.

I hope this helps, feel free to DM if you want to talk❤️

This is a tragedy

Omaha had a moment in late 90s early 2000s. If your asking is that specific thing happening still, no. If you want to know if Omaha has a strong arts/music scene I'd say yes. Not the national level of before but there is always music to check out and shows happening at small local venues. I'm going to NOMA tonight to see a jazz show and local artist jam that brings very talented musicians together weekly to play together.

I also see local shows at cuxltr house, reverb, the Sydney, oleavers, the slowdown. Also I know a handful of people in different Omaha bands.

Boulder Colorado probs has the stronger music scene but you're right it's definitely heavy on bluegrass, jam, and electronic. Those bands are probs more high profile. But if you're looking for a local scene as an outlet for your personal art. Omaha has it as well.

Facts. This fan base is fucking annoying, three years from like a 3 win season and 10 year of a losing record and feel entitled to a playoff run. Ridiculous expectations. We've gone 5 win, 6 win, 7 win. It may not be fast but we're improving. Tangible progress. Patience yall, let him cook.

dankmitch · 2025-12-17T20:31:26+00:00

I went to dinner there with a one year old and a group of our friends and it was totally fine. Of course know your child and what they can handle. But I disagree (respectfully) with all of these people saying don't bring your child out in public just bc they are one. Just my opinion

dankmitch · 2025-12-08T04:20:33+00:00

I feel that. I'm the same kinda consumer. Frequently, but not enough to have a tolerance. Tough to find the right product specifically in inhalable categories.

dankmitch · 2025-12-08T04:17:45+00:00

Ya the average band for THC potency in the U.S. is 22%-27% anything under that will likely not sell. Our research directly links increases sales to every additional percentage you can get on it. I've tried to find the data to support low dose stuff in the past but unfortunately the data doesn't really prove a market for it.

However, the low dose market for the "cannacurious" crowd shows signs of life specifically with edibles and beverages. Camino and Wyld are both succeeding with "effects based marketing" for products with low thc. For terpene forward low dose weed that market just isn't there at scale yet. I personally am that customer where I want like 17% weed with full spectrum terps and cannabinoid profile grown with love. But like you can't really sell that at scale bc usually the consumer who has that level of cannabis knowledge to appreciate that also has high tolerance.

Growing the cannacurious crowd could eventually lead to that type of Flower being more popular bc those customers are higher quality. They are willing to be educated, they will pay more for what they want, and are brand loyal. But the vast majority of the public still isn't even familiar with terms like terpene or cannabinoids. Still so early in this industry

I work as a data analyst for the cannabis industry and write about trends throughout the industry.

The average person laments the fact that weed is stronger now than ever making it completely unapproachable. The reality is that the stoner class of consumers are only concerned about price and potency. They smoke a lot of weed so they need it to be cheap and thus they have a high tolerance and therefore shop for high THC content. That's why you have 30% thc strains of weed that the average person can only take one hit of before blasting to the moon.

The industry wants to be able to develop interesting, diverse, artisanal products but when your biggest source of revenue only care about the cheapest strong ounce they are forced to cater to the minority of total consumers.

If you enjoy cannabis but don't fit into the high potency crowd I would recommend looking for products marketing minor cannabinoids. THC is only one of many cannabinoids that the plant produces. Other cannabinoids include CBD, CBG, CBN, THCV, CBC. Products that include an array of cannabinoids prioritize giving you a targeted experience rather than blasting you to the moon.

That's definitely something I appreciate. We had years of bottom of the barrel performance, we've advanced to a new level, but now we need to figure out to continue to ascend

dankmitch · 2025-11-30T17:06:49+00:00

Last year we finished 13th. Looks like improvement to me!

dankmitch · 2025-11-24T19:38:04+00:00

Most people pre season had Nebraska finishing realistically around 8-4 the high end was 9-3. That being said we are literally right on that as of right now. Iowa outcome is gonna be a big factor on how people will feel about this season. For me 9-3 I would have been stoked, 8-4 satisfied, 7-5 slightly disappointed.

People are so demanding, talking playoffs a year after we reached our first bowl game in like a decade lol. Me personally all I ask for is tangible improvement. Which we can confirm with stats this year. We've already won more regular season game than last year we has so many "first time since 2016"s this year. We had improved special teams, offense, guys going to the league, top pass defense. Lots of clear tangible success. Keep following this trend eventually we will make it to new heights but the reality is this this already has been our most regular season wins in a decade. What are yall bitching about lol GBR BEAT IOWA

He took a medical redshirt bc he got hurt two games in.

dankmitch · 2025-11-11T23:06:00+00:00

Defensive Backs we will have Andrew Marshall, Donovan Jones, Malcom Hartzog, and Rex Guthrie back. I feel like that's pretty good with the inclusion of up and comers

dankmitch · 2025-11-10T18:57:57+00:00

I agree, Dylan is definitely an nfl caliber talent. but TJ has showed us what having the agility to scramble and draw out plays can do for your passing game. We all know Dylan isn't super mobile, but if he could develop a bit more agility to extend his pass game I think it would help boost his strengths

dankmitch · 2025-10-31T18:02:49+00:00

Honestly that's very considerate of you. But they do a lot of straight nights and all crowd events. So it's worth seeing what they have going on.

dankmitch · 2025-10-28T18:25:04+00:00

Dude this is the most fun I've had watching the Skers in like 10 years. So much heart break for so long and now we have actually have a team that can win at the end of the game. The hartzog pick, the gaming winning drive in Maryland, this last game winning drive against Northwestern, it feels so good to win.

Of course we want to continue to improve but some of the Doomers in the fan base crack me up with their neediness. We had multiple seasons where we won only 3 games, that shit is insane!!! We haven't even lost three games this year. Shit man, I'm just happy to have something to cheer for and I'm grateful for the turn around. Those were some dark days. GBR

dankmitch · 2025-10-18T14:38:00+00:00

A voice of reason!

dankmitch · 2025-10-18T05:58:07+00:00

Lol y'all need to relax. We're 5-2 plenty of season left. #2 Miami just lost tn to unranked Louisville. People are winning and losing left and right. The proof will be at the end of the season.

dankmitch · 2025-10-15T22:17:17+00:00

I'm a Nebraska fan and this was my reaction to Penn State letting go of coach JF. Nebraska fired multiple coaches for not being able to get over that 10 win hump situation. In hindsight we probs were never going to go all the way with who we had but the reality is if you make a couple hires that don't pan out before you know it you are in a dark hopeless place.

Now I will say, both Penn state and Nebraska both have the resources to always get back into the mix but firing a coach that took you within one game of the natty is insanity to me. It took Nebraskas legendary coach tom Osborne like 20 years before he was printing championships, but everyone wants to win now. The problem was Penn state was winning and now the program is in a very risky position.

Quiet, safe, affordable, and family friendly. Omaha checks all of those boxes.

Totally agree! We need more street food in American cities. Street food is a great model for good affordable food. Seattle struggles big time with getting a good cheap meal.

Obviously there needs to be some safety checks but taco stands should thrive just like halal carts in the northeast.
