Oh no, not the fluffy fairytale ones, but the ones getting a blood rage from smelling Christian humans and other unnatural disturbances of their natural domains.

This is why Svalbard is on Putin’s list of nexts if he is not stopped.

I’m guessing this is an American problem? Cause commercials in Norway is more about what chocolate to bring on a hike, what chocolate brand is made both for enjoyment and to repell trolls, and that you won’t be able to enjoy your weekend without Kim’s chips.

USians would never understand this mindset.

I’d argue that if a hamburger is not made in Hamburg, it should not be able to be named anything better than “sparkling patty disher”

Good only cucumber shaped meats can be called sausage!

The gods knows the horrors that would fall upon humanity if plant based foods could be called the same as plant shaped meats.

The more sheltered you are growing up, the less experiences you have to learn and grow from, and I would say that having the lack of experience to challenge the status quo generally is good for society.

Norway is implementing most of EU rules and regulations quicker than most member states. We are a member in almost all but voting rights on said rules and regulations.

Was pleasantly surprised a few weeks back when Norway’s biggest bank app released a hotfix because their recent release had issues with GrapheneOS.

Radical thought!

It is possible that they work with what they do not to make vegan meat, but to reduce the amount of horrible lives lived by live cattle.

Crimson Desert delayed until Q1 2026

You didn’t do most of the fuckery in Welsh, then the Normans from the north came, you paid the danelaw, but we settled either way, influencing the Welsh language, and the we also took Paris, but the Scandics became romance before two generations later reuniting with their people in the isles, creating what is now known as the French creole language called english*.

*The US-ians have made available a simplified version of the language for the learning impaired.

That is like the linguistic version of drive through banking. No one gains from over simplifying something to such extremes.

It just makes it simple. Like available for the special need people kind of simple.

But then again, you guys made the word “literal” mean “figuratively”, so there is some schooling potential. Some.

Kivalry?

Kivalry?

Could you explain that as if English was my fifth language? (It technically is, but as a Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Bergen are really just dialects of Scandinavian. English is similar, with different dialects for different countries. In some English languages, CH is a K, like in christian. In others, if S is put before, it is pronounced SHH. But that might only be for English English, as my London born colleague pronounce it most of the time. But I might also be ignorant, and if so, great, I might learn something new about linguistics!

Disclaimer: I’ve had British, no, English and Australian friends and colleagues for more than two decades, and only visited the USA while driving through 17 states one time. So my connection to the English language outside SoMe and other media is primarily English.

As a Norwegian, I am fully aware that my ancestors helped created the English language by first invading the welsh isles, and then, three generations after invading the Francs, we invaded the isles again with romance speaking nobility for generations.

English is a Nordic made Francish/Welsh/Germanic creole that was made popular by the still Norwegian blooded crown.

I used to pronounce it “sk”, but in my new job, working with schedules with a Londoner, it is now “sh” for me. Undoing the US-ification of my English one word at a time.
