I did one amazon order, and told my gf, this is kind of morbid, but an interesting experience - maybe this xmas, we get to contribute to someones death by exhaustion indirectly - and just in time for the holidays!

Amazon allows you to track your delivery, so you can watch their slow trek from Amazon HQ, countless deliveries, then finally to your doorstep. So enjoy!

That's my experience with ordering things online as well: "Quick and easy my goddamn ass." That's when I remember I really don't like computers very much.

I think Europe will be majority Muslim in 20 years so Alec is pretty close.

One projection says 10% within next 50 years, but... you know... muslims are like women in this regard: Let's see them *really* try to take power away from The Conglomerate White Western Man. So, everybody relax, we'll sooner be mass-nuked by Canadians, than *actually* threatened by Arabs.

It's really easy. You just fuck a lot. Then you win.

We instinctively know how to fight: with our arms/hands and legs/feet. And real fights are always clumsy and dirty. There are always more misses than hits. Have you ever watched a boxing match from start to finish, not just the highlights? It's ridiculous how ineffective even the best boxers are. And that's why we invented spears and knives and guns. To stop looking like complete buffoons on the battlefield.

Absolutely agree. Martial arts in for example athletic setting, looks like a bunch of kids flailing their hands at each others - the rest is coreography and movie trend. Matrix has, hilariously enough, some of the worst looking fighting, since every damn punch or block includes a neat little pause, so one can fully appreciate each pose. Fuckin Karate Kid has more realistic fighting than that

By now though, it's too cemented in culture, I guess. How many movie baddies just walk away from that well-deserved jaw-punch they recieved? How about having them fall and knock their head against the ground, for then to start shaking and snoring :D

As for quality, I was given a room of my own, complete privacy, and no restrictions to visitors, I had a touch screen TV, and those beds with the remote control thing. My gf told me that it easily corresponded to private-hospital levels back in her Portugal.

And yes - this shit is paid for out of the tax-payers pocket - which kind of is the entire point (especially if the super-rich allow themselves to be taxed just like the rest of us plebs)

Okay, I'm done "politicizing the moment" now :D

I'm glad you're ok dude. And I actually know Norway is wealthier than my country so I'd expect them to take good care of you. Glad you're ok now.

And this happening during the Impeachment hearings... doesn't bode well for Cheetolini.

Yeah but you see if the Kurds only helped in Normandy ...

We'll see how long the cease fire/pause will last now and what will come of it.

Indeed. I watched the Joker just a few days ago, and I can't remember the last time a movie surprised and excited me to such a degree. "Incels gonna shoot up"-my ass, they're all worried we're gonna start shooting up the rich. I'm not :] honk honk :]

I hate to admit this, but I saw it three times already. I'm going to stop now and wait til it's out on dvd, but damn, I really really love that movie.

@zegh8578 You mean what is a ship's basement called? A hold, maybe? In Norwegian you mean?

Come on community, team effort needed here to help out Zegh! :D

Yes, yes, in Norwegian :D I did come to "a hold" in English, but then "a hold" is impossible to google-translate to Nor, because "hold" means "to hold" in Norwegian. It always translates to - "to hold" "to hold a ship" "holding the ship" etc... It's very frustrating :D

I did find TWO lists of maritime terms, in Norwegian, and skimmed through both, as well as word-searched terms like "kjeller" etc, to see if something could match, but no luck

Google translate is similar, based on user input, rendering most translations to just overly informal English loan-word soups

Glad I bookmarked the actual language council's website, with their dictionary- although they're a bit lacking in offering related words, etymologies etc.

Apart from hyperpowers like the US, I always find so eery when countries let themselves get accustomed to hostile conflict to the degree of posessing a military force with a lot of recent experience - or armed and active paramilitary groups like the Grey Wolves. There's an inherent savagery to it, that most "common sense" would suggest that we have shed in our modernity, but that clearly we have not

Heh, “shed in our modernity”. We’re a flawed creation, zegh. As long as there are shaved monkeys there will be war, and profiteering, and all that happy shit that comes with violence.

Oh, for sure. These are constant reminders, and so is geopolitics in general. Not to sound all "cynic edge", but geopolitics in particular perfectly demonstrate our hard, unrelenting, uncompromising biology, we overrun our opponents according to demand, and individual suffering drown in almost trivial political maneuvers and actions that blanket entire populations.

Yeah? You might get stronger reactions by refusing to sing one for someone who does want it.

Just saying. Why the half measures boys?

Wants it... ? You're that guy, aren't you Crni?

I don't believe in Birthdays!

Somos is interesting. Somos sodot would be even cooler.

I guess we got some older terms for things that might have been more common in the past, but I'm guessing those terms exist in any community that has experienced (or still do) ailments common with lack of modern medicine

Sucks if you're into Norwegian amputee porn. Gotta type in half a novel before you can pull your pud.

Why not just 'armless' or 'legless'?

Pussy.

Indeed. The majority of people who rant on Youtube are pussies.

Better than feeling obsessed with her and going for Reagan right?

Indeed! Not a day goes by that I do not appreciate my rather ambivalent attitude towards Jodie Foster, precisely because of that. Life is precious, and Jodie Foster is simply not worth throwing it all away for.

Pre-Contact Jodie Foster was awesome. Then she turned into a dyke with a political opinion. Whatever, Hollywood.

Blackpill that twerp.

Most gaming magazines were good, back in the day.
Now most gaming sites suck. Anyone can be a gaming writer/"journalist", even people that don't like or play games.

Gaming magazines only seemed good because you didn't have any way to fact check them or compare them with anything else. They always sucked.

Maybe where you are. When I was young gaming magazines in my area were right on point.
They only showed pics of a game, what genre the game is, if it has any new concepts, etc.
Basically they would report on the games and what they actually were.

It's like the clover is peering into my livingroom, something that's not completely unthinkable around here, I've had several magpies peer inside, as well as cats

Kill the clover.

NEVER!

Better safe than sorry. Friend lost 700 recently. I lost that much before too. Calling beforehand will help that.

Nono I'm talking about online accounts, everything I log on to - except NMA, NMAs like... analog

Ahhh. Yes, that is annoying.

That's what happens when you only shit every other day.
