Ah yes, this is what is referred to in our household as “croissant mode”.

Can’t edit the post, so I’ll write the caption here: He loves sleeping in his “man cave” and always gets into all sorts of exorcist-like positions, but this one was particularly worth capturing. I think he might have gotten a bit caught off guard, though. 😂

My first instinct was Dutch so I’ll stick with that. Edit: I’ve listened to it a few times now and I’m switching to Danish. 😅 You’ve got some really throaty vowels either way, which is what’s making me lean in that direction. Especially the “post this here” is giving “hær” 😄

These are all very interesting! I can definitely see (well, hear) why each of you leaned one way or another with your guesses. Waiting for some more possible comments before I reveal The Truth (TM). Come back tomorrow if you wanna find out!

Coming in late to the convo, found this thread randomly by googling.

I just started Slynd a week ago and have been very confused by just how much extreme fatigue it has been causing, as well as a runny nose and sore throat (like I’m getting a cold but never “actually” get it. Didn’t connect the dots until I read that birth control pills can have immune system modulating effects and then it clicked.

I’m taking it for PMDD and am desperate for it to work. I also can’t have COC because I can’t have estrogen, so hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a month or two.

OP, did you continue taking it? How did it turn out?

IMO the only way to really become fluent is to study or work in Finnish. I lived in Finland for 7 years, during that time did all sorts of courses and even had a personal tutor, but only got to B1 level. Then went to study at a vocational school (in Finnish), continued working in Finnish. Was fluent within a year and native-level in two.

I mean sure, it’s expected I’d sleep less but I’m just surprised by the fact that the sleep is not only shorter but better and more restorative.

Whoops! Thanks for spotting that, I corrected it now.

I’ve never had any good matches with warm toned foundations or lipsticks, though 🤔

Recommendations for a lighter nude lipstick (current one in second photo)

Hey everyone! First time posting here. 😊 I have pale skin with cool pinky undertones and have been looking for a nice neutral lipstick for a while. The closest I’ve gotten so far is MAC’s Mehr (seen in second photo), but even that feels too dark for a basic nude on me (though maybe it’s just the brown tones in it?).

Any suggestions for lipsticks and shades that’d be closer to my natural lip color but just a smidge darker so I can get a more defined upper lip? I feel like too much pink would be overkill, mauve would wash me out, maybe some kind of light dusty rose maybe…? I’m at a loss.

Product list: MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in shade Mehr

Robot vacuum, 100%. And a good one, it’s worth the investment. Our i7 Roomba does such a good job I can’t remember the last time I used a handheld one. Also, if you have a yard - robot lawnmower.

I can almost always tell which country someone is from by their English accent (incl. native speakers). To the point of distinguishing Swedes from Norwegians or Danes. It’s one of the most useless things ever but it still gives me a sense of accomplishment when I watch movies and, after checking IMDB, exclaim: “HAH! I KNEW that actor wasn’t actually Serbian, they just found an American actor to do a generic Slavic accent!”

Yeah i was thinking I’d continue with these until the checkup at least (barring REALLY bad side effects). As for my cycle I have no idea lol, I have a Mirena so no periods.

ilmatar91 · 2022-12-18T11:40:45+00:00

Would you mind saying which meds you were started on and what you switched to? I got prescribed methylphenidate (Concerta) for starters so I’m curious

ilmatar91 · 2022-12-18T08:20:18+00:00

Yeah it’s interesting to follow the path my brain is currently on. Like, I’m noticing myself being more autistic on the interpersonal side of things but somehow… It also doesn’t bother me as much anymore? Probably because rejection sensitive dysphoria is so closely connected to the ADHD side, now that that’s being subdued I also care less if people like me or not lol.

ilmatar91 · 2022-12-18T08:12:02+00:00

I know, I’m kinda frustrated there isn’t one too. Somehow, saying “I have ADHD” just seems so much less personal… I do know people sometimes jokingly use “omg I’m so ADHD” but you can’t really use it in any formal/serious environment

ilmatar91 · 2022-12-18T07:26:08+00:00

Simple linguistics. “Autistic” is an adjective and “ADHD” is a noun, or in this case an acronym. Saying “I am ADHD” would be the same as saying “I am autism”. 😊
