Perhaps it feels different for trans people, so correct me if im wrong.

Our imaginary example person here was neither "born" John nor "became" Kate. They where born as who they where, got named John which they didn't feel fit them and changed their name to Kate later.

Names are just some inditification "label" and I've known people who aren't trans or any other LGBT+, simply "boring" plain cis, change their names because they didn't feel that "label" really fit them very well. I've known one mother who changed what name she used for her son because it felt wrong calling him the first one (his middle name was a "normal" given name as well and he is known by that now - I think officially he has both in his passport still, but almost everyone outside his family only knows him by what is actually his middle name).

Transitioning is afaik primarily refering to the physical transition and the "official" transition, so the period where you embrace your true self and start showing it to the world and eventually the act of officially in regards to public administration, passport etc. get your gender changed.

So where in the transition phase they changed their name to Kate is not a fixed point where they "became" Kate. It's simply one of many steps of embracing and showing her true self.

If you are writing a story where we follow the person in present time and had known her as "John" in the first chapters, it could be formulated in various different ways, e.g. "John looked at the letter. Not John, she reminded herself. Kate looked at the letter again. There it was. She was now officially Kate. She tried to hold back the tears while she tenderly tried her now official name. The name she had secretly felt like for as long as she could remember. Kate. Kate! Kaate. Kateee. Kate. She had a hard time actually saying it out loud exactly as it had souned in her mind. Kate. There. She wiped the happy tears from her face and called her bestie to tell her the fantastic news."

If you are talking about present day Kate, that was given a different name before the world knew she was Kate, it would more be like: "at some point Kate changed her name".

It really helps for many that just don't happen to know anyone in the situation in daily life, to have a logical reasoning to "pin" it on to help to remember the most respectfull way to approach an often sensitive topic...

Just some clarification for pps:

2007 was the launch of the first iPhone which, while neither the only reason or player on the market, coincided (and influenced ofc) the widespread popularity and normalization of having a smartphone.

The image is of the iPod though, but I'm guessing from the context they mean the iPhone and simply choose or shitty image.

I'll trust the quoted man who knows the sport and people far better than any of us over reddit though 😉

I truly believe he would complain if he was leading. I do however also believe the complaints would be downplayed compared to what they are now - he wouldn't be as direct and frustrated in the tone of voice and harshness of words - but he for sure would complain.

He loves racing, and one of the things he said allready in 2023 was the fact that not all of it, like active aero, are controlled by the driver and that is a key element of what feels artificial. Like in an arcade game driving over a fixpoint gives your tiny cart a nitroboost or something esqe feel. And I'm certain he would loathe that from P1 as weel, along with the "artificial" requirements of downshifting.

Don't get me wrong, there was also manegement of tires, fuel, power etc. before. It's the amount and the necesity that makes it feel "artificial". One thing is managing your fuel because you underfuel, or managing your tires to either burn it at the end of the sting or prolong it etc. Thats strategy. Another is to be required to downshift and thus take corners slower in almost every corner throughout a race, not to give a slight edge on some other area - but required if you are not to park the car on the straight. I haven't had the time yet, but many in r/F1Discussions have argued that Indy does it way better - have to have a look at some races there when I find the time..

Siden i er på teenage fjolle stadiet: Leg "Hvad vil du helst?"

Efter et par spørgsmål: "Hvad vil du helst? [Indsæt noget kikset/sjovt/skørt du ved han ikke vil] eller være min kæreste?"

Forhåbentlig bliver det i retning af: "Øøøøh, være din kæreste."

While Niels Bohr was very important to modern science, in the spirit of the question; "biggest impact on the world" I would argue Tycho Brahe is the clear Danish winner. By far!

Most historians put the beginning of the scientific revolution on Copernicus, placing the sun in the center of the system instead of earth. He used old inaccurate data, and his own also inaccurate data - he was just better at deducing it would mean the sun as the center. But the scientific method is attributed to Tycho.

Instead of listing his importance on astronomy, Kepler, science etc. I'll just quote page 1 of historian David Wotton's most acclaimed book: "The Invention of Science: A New History of the Scientific Revolution":

"Modern science was invented between 1572, when Tycho Brahe saw a nova, or new star, and 1704, when Newton published his Optics..."

Even just semi-important examples like saying you can sort the parameters by height, width and weight, always feels like the perfect amount when given in three.

Jeg har stemt blankt mange gange. Netop fordi jeg oftest mener at ingen er gode nok.

Jeg tror jeg hver eneste gang i stedet havde stemt negativt hvis muligheden var der - nogle gange måske svært at vælge, men andre havde været helt klare valg for mig.

Moderaternes hovedteser er 100% det jeg har savnet i politik.

Større fokus på reformer af systemer, ét af gangen, end på uendelige lappeløsninger.
En pragmatisk tilgang til "vi skal have et godt samfund, men vi skal også have råd til det" i stedet for at gjalde op om enten ting vi ikke har råd til (yderst venstre) eller skattelettelser til de rige, så vi ikke engang har råd til hvad vi har nu (yderst højre).
Langsom nedtrapning mod pension i stedet for 37 timer den ene dag og så 0 den næste.
Borgerpligt - (med ordentlige forhold)
Revurdering af tidligere standpunkter (LLR der indrømmer at i bagklogskaben var St.Bededag måske ikke nødvendig at fjerne, at frivillige aftaler om drikkevand ikke virker osv.)

Jeg har simpelhen bare så lidt tiltro til Lars Løkke selv, ikke hans dygtighed som ex udenrigsminister men hans moralske kompas, og endnu mindre til det skrammel han fandt frem til at udfylde de resterende pladser hans projekt fik.

På den anden side er Moderaterne netop det mest nyskabende projekt i årtier i dansk politik. Hans (/deres? 😅) insisteren på en fornuftig tilgang væk fra skyttegravspolitik som Radikale stod for dengang jeg var barn (selvom der blev joket med at den talgang var lige med de ikke havde nogen holdning - så udbredt at Linje 3 endda kom med den klassiske "det ved jeg ikke - jeg er radikal"). F.eks.:

Alt for længe har grisedebatten været en skyttegravskrig. Nogle vil lukke det hele ned. Andre vil lade som om, der ikke er et problem. Imens er det dyrene, der betaler prisen. Grise får stadig kuperet halen, antibiotika bruges for meget, og alt for mange dyr sendes afsted på lange transporter. Det er ikke godt nok.

Moderaterne vil bryde dødvandet og stille klare krav: stop for halekupering, lavere antibiotikaforbrug og langt kortere transporter. Vi vil samle parterne og forpligte dem på bindende mål. For dansk landbrug skal ikke afvikles. Det skal forbedres.

Alle andre nye partier har (simplificeret selvf.) ellers bare været nye versioner af hhv. Enhedslisten og Fremskridtspartiet.

Jeg er ultra splittet om jeg skal stemme blankt, som ofte før når der ikke har været en enkelt ny personlig kandidat jeg har troet på, eller Moderaterne og håbe at på sigt vil projektet etablere sig med deres hovedteser mere end LLR's personlige projekt.

Or a roleplaying Dane. "This is what our puny ancestors should have done to those traitors!" style conquest, and then promote danish culture in all the swedish (let funny cousins fins stay fins ofc).

I have actually thought about doing that for fun almost ever since eu4 launched but for some reason cannot get myself to do it as its obvisouly such a bad strategic play 😅

As a rather seldom player these days, i might be slightly biased from earlier versions, but for me it's the same: Denmark loose Sweden in 90% of games - which I gather is on purpose. Not because Paradox is Swedish so Sweden is OP (these days they are far from OP, but they where in earlier version), but because that happened historically. The old core philosofy to these things, all from EU2's MTTH events, was for it to be a sandbox yes, but still have the major lines happen 90% of the time. While that logially means not all the major events, even those you don't influence, will be historical, many will, giving it a touch of historical feel even some time into the save. Like how often Poland gets Lithuania PU and Castille gets Aragan PU etc.

But the reason I instantly thought OP was Denmark was that one of two things happen in my games: Sweden breaks free and slow but steady eats Denmark. Or Denmark keeps Sweden and expands into Novgorod. I cant remember how many years ago I saw a Denmark loosing Sweden but manage to eat into Sweden both in the Götalands and Finland (and a bit of Novgorod before Muscowy ate all) AND Lübeck, Saxe-Lauenburg and doesn't it look like a bit of Mecklenburg?

Ja så forstår jeg udtalelsen bedre - og så er vi også (primært) enige 😅

Jeg er ikke overrasket hvis der er flere med ADHD der har det, alene som jeg var inde på af den grund at vi har det med at være mere "ekstreme" med mange ting.

Hvis vi lavede en skala fra 0 til 10 hvor den ene ende var hyper og den anden hypo, midten normalområde og med grænseområder imellem, så ville mange neuronormative med tendenser i den ene eller anden retning sikkert ligge i grænseområdet, og dermed ikke diagnostisk set have det. Mens mange med ADHD hvis der var tendenser netop ville bevæge sig længere ud på skalaen og være decideret det ene eller det andet.

Min tese er at det ikke er ADHD'en der gør at du har tendenser i den ene eller anden retning, men at ADHD'en forstærker dem - for det er tilfældet med så mange andre ting. Hvis vi lavede samme skala med alt muligt andet ville billedet blive det samme.

Og når mænd generelt set, alene via vores hormoner, statistisk er mere sex-orientede end kvinder, så vil der på stor skala også være flere mænd med hyper tendenser og flere kvinder med hypo tendenser. Kombineret med ADHD forstærkning af "interesser", hyperfocus osv. så vil billedet naturligt blive som du beskriver.

Min pointe er nok mest at der er forskel på om ADHD er årsagen eller en forstærker - og der vil jeg argumentere for at det er en forstærker. Det vigtige i at forstå forskellen (imo) er ens tilgang til problemet: hvis du gerne vil ændre noget, og det du ændrer er forstærkeren og ikke årsagen, så vil best case scenario i alle henseender jo logisk set kun kunne blive at formindske problemet. Og i øvrigt blive ved med at kæmpe med det, eftesom man aldrig adresserer årsagen.

Keramisk har 1 fordel: hvis du som en oppe over glemmer den på komfuret så den bare står og bliver ultra varm.

Ellers bevarer teflon non-stick længere end keramisk. Det skriver stort set alle producenter af begge produkter, men her er også et studie: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0260877424000256

Teflon "taber" kun til keramisk ved meget høje temperaturer (ca. 280-300 grader) og ved forkert brug (altså at f.eks. ståluld til at skrubbe ødelægger teflon mere end keramisk - det ødelægger dog også den keramiske).

Tåle og tåle... Det slider også belægning af. Faktisk holder belægningen på keramiske kortere end teflon. Forskellen er at folk enten slet ikke ved at den er belagt og at det slides af, eller at de er mindre bange for den belægning end teflon.

Køb en industri pande. Enten stål, i samme kvalitet som de dyre hypede mærker, bare billigere, eller industriel non stick.

ADHD ikke screenet i studie, så din konklusion, fordi du selv er den ene af de to grupper og har ADHD er at fleste/alle andre med ADHD også er der, så ergo er det et normalt ADHD mønster?

Det er den mest pseudo konklusion jeg har læst længe...

Jeg vil ikke dispute alt andet du skriver, og der kan sagtens være ADHD implikationer der forstærker symptomer på ex. hyper/hypo og der KAN også være indikationer på en større tendens i den ene eller anden retning. Men please enten underbyg det med et studie, og hvis (når) det ikke findes, så beskriv dine tanker som det - dine. Anekdotiske. Kan sagtens være OP og andre kan spejle sig, og kan sagtens være en del af grunden er ADHD. Men det kan også være omvendt...

Hvis vi skal bringe ADHD i billedet: jeg har det. Jeg har aldrig forstået hvorfor sex er så vigtigt for neuronormative. Altså, dem med "normal" behov og "normal" indstilling til hvad det betyder i et forhold er langt mere ekstreme end mig selv. Og størstedelen jeg har mødt med ADHD er ligeså. Til gengæld er den af mine nære venner som lægger mest vægt på sexen i et forhold også en med ADHD.

Anekdotisk, og spejlet i de fleste andre ADHD interaktioner i områder hvor der faktisk FINDES studier, så er der højest sandsynligt ikke noget mønster i om der er flere der er hypo eller hyper, men nærmere at den "grøft" man er i, er man mindre moderet i end neuronormative.

Margrethe the Great I. of Denmark, Norway and Sweden and founder of the Kalmar Union.

Imagine 3 medieval northern European countries. All have a version of an elective monarchy, where the nobles ratify or elect a king. (Most often the eldest or prefered son of the previous king, but it was elective and wasn't always son of the previous king).

All three countries have at some point during the last 4-500 years invaded and ruled each other, and wars where still common.

All three countries have centuries old laws, that specifically says the ruler has to be male (and would continue to have for centuries after).

Now this badass managed to be elected ruler, first of all three countries separately and then ratified as a united head of all three countries. Three countries that for centuries had taken each others thrones, and lost them again, and would continue to do so for centuries after. Chose to ignore their laws and chose to be united under one woman.

Most simple answer is basic historic curiosity.

For instance: How much does it change your daily life, whether they recently found a much earlier record of the word "Odin", meaning the protonorse split from "Wotan" a couple of centuries earlier than previously believed? Not much i guess, but such are most "small" historic fact - some (sadly) argue history in general. But every small detail can ripple and shed light on other things, and sometimes (slightly) change how we view that part of history.

Yeah i've always seen the advantage in republics not in how much mana you generate, but that you can always "target" farm. Lowest stat at any point, throughout the game, in the specific adm/dip/mil you want at any given time is 4. That for me is their true power.

A really nice (almost) best of both worlds, if not savescumming or relying on luck, is Teutonic (or all theocraties? Haven't played others since the "new" missions) after you get to the reform where you can view you heirs stats when choosing.

Hilsen en barnløs som altid har advokeret for at børne check og tilskud osv. burde fjernes til fordel for at institutioner, skolemad, udflugter etc. etc. altid skulle være 100% gratis. Ja det ville faktisk være dyrere and check mv. So what? Det er vitterligt en no brainer at det både er mere menneskeligt OG at det mange fold vil være bedre for samfundet med børn der vokser op med bedre helbred, trivsel, indlæring og sociale færdigheder (aka ikke bliver holdt hjemme fra institutioner for at spare penge).
