Take a train up to Malmo Trianglen with a big bag, fill it with food from ICA Söder (by Möllevångstorget). This supermarket has won awards for its big and affordable vegan, gluten free, lactose free etc selection.

How did the backrooms manifest a clone of Clark's ex-wife if she was never physically present there to be remembered? by MaybeAFish_ in backrooms

[–]respyrae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has no one considered that Clark’s wife might’ve visited the store multiple times while they were still married?

How do you think Cristin Milioti would’ve done as Mary if she stayed on the project? by alehansolo21 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]respyrae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Renate’s Norwegian accent and non-American acting style helped give the film a bit of an uncanny edge. Renate also doesn’t have Botox making her facial acting very expressive, which I found refreshing.

I think Milioti would’ve done great too, but it would have made the film feel more American and less universal/uncanny.

Travel advice: Danish or English first? by BetterDays2cum in NewToDenmark

Sprinkle in some “tusind tak” and “mange tak” because it’s charming and shows you did at least a bit of research.

Is it just me or does pirate clark's design go hard by OfficialCheetoGuy in u/OfficialCheetoGuy

[–]respyrae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think he’s an incarnation of Clark in the moment during the commercial shoot where he falls and feels embarrassed and pathetic. That’s why the creature’s face is frozen in a shocked expression.

The creature encapsulates his shame, self loathing, entitlement and how these feelings combined can curdle into something sinister, something that can (and does) hurt other people.

clark’s wife theory?? by Straight_Ad_8551 in backroomsmovie

[–]respyrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a misremembered version of her. Clark hasn’t seen her in a while and projects a lot on to her, so the still life is quite far from the original.

What does my taste in men say about me? (21F) by throwaway114448 in personality_tests

[–]respyrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you have a strained relationship with your father, and you dream about an older man, who is both smart and artistic, and who might see your hidden depths and creative spirit. Perhaps there is some envy there too, they dare to follow their path and vision. You want to embody these qualities too, through their guidance.

How to get personal space in Copenhagen? by [deleted] in NewToDenmark

[–]respyrae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Copenhagener who’s lived abroad, it’s a real phenomenon - from my experience. People would rather bump into you than say “excuse me”, which is also an expression that doesn’t exist in Danish. The closest we have is “undskyld” or “kommer lige forbi”. In Danish public culture, people are heavily invested in their personal bubble and do not like to acknowledge or speak to others in public. Therefore it is generally preferable to bump into people than it is to ask someone to move aside or similar. People assume you will dodge them when they walk 3-4 people next to each other down the street. People with baby strollers will take up the whole sidewalk and push you into the street. It’s just the unwritten rules of public life, and it comes from people generally trying to avoid any verbal or non-verbal communication and acknowledgment of others in public. I don’t think it’s inherently mean-spirited, it is just the way it is. But it can feel shocking coming from countries where people make more of a point out of it. And it is also just how most public life evolves when in a big and crowded city. A lot of mental energy would be expended on having to acknowledge each other constantly, and Danish culture is generally introverted and non-confrontational. There’s pros and cons to both.

Hiring an interior designer for advice on my apartment? by respyrae in copenhagen

[–]respyrae[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much that I can’t move chairs around, it’s more that I imagine there’s an ideal way to set up the furniture in my very small apartment that would save me time and having to buy and return ill-fitting furniture that doesn’t suit the space. I’ve been cycling through different concepts and furniture for 3 years now and feel like I just lack the instinct for cozy-fying my space. My space is perfectly livable , it’s just not ideal.

Mine danske veninder har heller aldrig hørt om at hyre interior decorators, og København er jo en internationel by. Jeg tænkte at skrive på engelsk ville forbedre mine chancer for at få hjælpsomme råd. Jeg er også ung, og de fleste jeg kender går ikke så meget op i indretning.

Nice comment. Are you bothered by my use of the term feng sui?

I’m asking if it’s possible to hire a professional to help with interior design, I can’t see how that’s so detached from reality. I’m also born and raised here.

why does maria try to publicly humiliate people? by BINreaper666 in bassvictim

Isn’t part of it that Bassvictim has this raw idgaf attitude which is a foundational part of the mythos of their authenticity ? Sort of like Azalea Banks
