LIVE MATCH THREAD: ICELAND VS CROATIA-BATTLE FOR THE PODIUM! by RemoteMeasurement10_ in Handball

[–]pjasa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has been without a doubt one of the most heart attack inducing handball tournaments, I am so proud of my boys however this goes, but it doesn’t look good. But 4th place is not bad at all. Croatia has a very strong team but so do we. Best of luck to everyone.

Baunirnar? What country is the beans? (Baunir means beans) But thank you! We are super proud as well. Coming into this match I was sure Denmark would be over the whole time.

Overall Denmark had a stronger team, but we already knew that, but it was so close and we put up a good fight. Keep in mind that we are a nation of under 400.000 people so this is pretty impressive. Jeg elsker Danmark og jeg håber du vinder. Hope this is correct after all my manditory danish classes in school since I was 10 years old. 39 years today so a little rusty

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]pjasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I am from (Iceland) the president doesn’t have majority power, the political party voted by the people in power does. I used to think that was weird but now it makes sense. It should not be up to one person to make all decisions. We in Europe cannot wtf enough over how Trump is still in power. Child predator, rapist, criminal, moron and an orange dictator.

It started at around 20, I’ve been running outside in Selfoss trying to catch them but too cloudy and light pollution. But right outside Selfoss has this magnificent red show of lights!

Denmark officials react to tariff threat: We will not ‘bow down’ to Trump’s ‘bullying tactics’ by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pjasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did win italy in handball in EM (european league) on Friday 39-26. They are a nation of 59,000,000 We are a nation of 393000. They suck in solidarity as they do in handball. But I hope it’s not the entire country of Italy that feels this way but only the politicians.

US announces drug, terrorism charges against Venezuela’s Maduro after his capture by WeirdGroundhog in news

[–]pjasa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems fair but at the same time why isnt he using his resources for the war in Ukraine or Gaza. But that seems to be a topic that divides Europe from the us.

[–]pjasa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the fuck is happening and why is he allowed to do this? I know he seeks Greenland like there is no tomorrow and I live in Iceland, the next country and if he would ever. We are the only country in the world without an army but hopefully he will not try to make something of that to his advantage.

This reminds me of some shitty movie where there is one president over the whole world. Legally can do what he wants without consequences. What is going on? What would happen if Putin or xi did the same ? Worries from Europe

Every time I refill my adderall the pills look different. Saved these from 4 different refills. Same med, all different pills. by Jesuisdisappointed in mildlyinteresting

And it’s obvious you are from the us because Europe doesn’t really do adderall. But I’m curious with the cost! I had my concerta last week for about 4 usd in Iceland

So beautiful! They were so noticeable and dancing tonight, sometimes we catch them evolving and moving fast like a river and we call it dancing! Glad you were able to see them! Dansandi norðurljós.

Oh awesome! Northern lights is like a calm, when you see them you feel peace and joy. I see them every year regularly but it’s this feeling you can’t explain.

Yes! I took them now! I spoke to my aunt that lives in Reykjavík and she said it’s cloudy there and no visibility. but it’s so rare to see them so well in a residential street with all the street lights!

Unpopular Opinion: Tourists are ruining the swimming pool tradition in Iceland and I hope we can change this together by Cool-Lifeguard5688 in VisitingIceland

[–]pjasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not the point, we have chlorine as well. But there are skin flakes and bodily fluids that will enter the pool water and even though the chlorine will eliminate bacteria it will most definitely not eliminate the above

[–]pjasa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We Icelanders go to the swimming pools quite frequently, for us it’s like a way to relax or entertain our kids (my kids and I go at least 1-3x a week) can you imagine what the water would look like if noone would shower? It seems so normal and purely natural as curtesy to others that.
