You should look up “first look best man pranks” on YouTube.

This one is my personal fav and I do believe it was the one that started the trend too.

the doll is just his avatar. He is indeed an old guy who is dead for most of the franchise because the writers wrote themselves into a corner early on. The first Saw movie is still a solid film with a pretty awesome twist at the end. Everything that came after the first one is just increasingly ridiculous nonsense.

as someone who has visited one of the hottest countries on Earth, yeah… 30C in countries like that, is considered chilly. There were a couple of days in a row where the temp reached 50 and kept crawling. My Scandinavian ass was not ready.

Curry Barker neither barks nor is yellow. >:(

I grew up with a TV program that was hosted by a black woman and a gay man - its called Bullerfnis. I never thought about the fact that she was darker. I also went to school with kids who were mixed and had a black parent, but I didn’t think about it.

One of my classmates from first to fourth grade was half black. The only thing I considered about her was that I thought it was really cool that she got to go to Brazil sometimes to meet her extended family. She gave me some stickers after one of her trips, with cartoon characters from a Brazilian show and I still have them to this day. I treasured them because they came from the other side of the world. I don’t even know why she gave them to me. We weren’t super close friends, but we did play together sometimes. Her dad made a traditional Brazilian confectionary for us one time and I thought it was super weird because I had never tasted anything like it before. It wasn’t bad, just different.

I think I was 6 years old when I first realized that black people look different from me, lol. There was a parent who came to school one day and he wore dreadlocks and had very colorful clothes from his culture, so he stuck out a bit and that was when in my brain was like “wait, some people are dark?”

Needless to say, I am a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

Aye, I can do that.

Granted, it’s a bit of a silly issue for us Danes because we really, really, REALLY like our currency which is why we voted no to the Euro back in the day.

I understand that people in some countries don’t really get countries like ours and our love for our royal family, but we were very attached to our former queen’s face on our coins 😆 now we have a king and her face is slowly being replaced with his so maybe we will be more agreeable when it comes to switching to Euros now, lol. He’s not a bad king, but he is no Daisy. She ruled for 52 years and is the longest reigning monarch in our history and she was and is very beloved.

I am kind of in love with F and H.

F because it’s the only design that really tries to be differnet, fun and daring. I love the color combinations and how expressive they are. I am aware that this probably isn’t going to be the one that’s picked, but man, would it be cool it this was what the Euro looked like in the future.

H because they are, in my opinion the prettiest animal notes. Again, lively colors that are combines beautifully, and I like that they are horizontal. The tenner with the kingfisher is so pretty, I would frame it and put it on a wall.

I’m not voting, though, because I’m Danish and we still use our own currency. We probably will make the shift to Euroes someday, but until then, I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to vote for the design of a currency that isn’t used in my country.

I love Greenland and the people up there, but I will never understand their love of whale blubber. We went on kaffemik while we were there and tasted everything both because it was polite, but also because it was kinda fun trying something new. I was especially thrilled about the small dried fish that they eat like a snack. Very chewy and extremely salty. It was pretty tippy to walk around with a whole ass fish and gnawing on it like a candy bar.

Everything tastes like fish except musk ox and reindeer. They weren’t lying when they said that you are what you eat. Whale meat taste like fish. Seal meat taste like fish. Polar bear meat taste like fish.

They had a whole ass whale tail on a small table on the balcony outside and stuck a knife in it. Feel free to cut off a piece and chew on it for tenthousand years. I just couldn’t do it. I wanted to, but everything in me was like “nope, bitch.” Meanwhile my younger sibling walked up, cut a piece and started chewing. The look on their face told me that I had made the right decision.

“It tastes like fish”

Yep.

They make mean cakes, though. And I fucking love reindeer. Tastes so good.

At this point we might as well lump the USA in with Putin. They are both collaborating to destabilize Europe by supporting parties like the AfD.

The problem is that they are being promoted and funded by our enemies. There is nothing democratic about the ways parties like the AfD are catching wind in the sails.

So true! I have always managed to skate by in life because I’m relatively unremarkable most of the time. I have described my life strategy as being on on a boat full of holes and I constantly run around applying flex tape and scooping water out in buckets to keep it afloat. From afar my boat looks like every other boat in the water, but up close it is constant maintenance to appear somewhat normal. It’s gotten a bit easier to accept the mess after I realized that maybe it’s not entirely my own fault that I struggle with certain things.

And for real, women do get diagnosed far less than men, but it’s getting so much better nowadays. I don’t think I’ll ever be officially diagnosed as I manage pretty okay all things considered. I’m just glad other people who struggle more than me, get the chance to get help.

Also, sorry for the late reply. I had surgery today so I have been a bit out of it. Everything went well, though. I hope you have a lovely day, my friend! ❤️

Lol, it is funny how us weirdos always seem to find one another. Then you know what it’s like xD I like having my views on the world challenged. I like knowing people who are different and live different lives from myself. If I had the wanderlust, I think I would have been someone who travels the world to make friends in every corner, but alas, I fucking hate travelling, dude. Planes and airports can go fuck themselves. I have agreed with myself that the only time I’m gonna travel for the rest of my life is when I go to see my best friend who lives thousands of km away. Ain’t no way I’m putting myself through all that shit for anyone else.

HA! You being ASD makes sense. I always vibe with people on the spectrum. Always. I often find them to have the right amount of nerd in them to carry interesting conversations and they tend to be a calming antidote to my chaos. I become an irl cartoon character when I speak with people. Spectrum people are nice because they rarely react to my nonsense and if they do, they rarely judge. And, I mean, same with them. They may be weird to some people, but to me I’m like: Ah, my kind of person. One of the first friends I made in my teens was ASD as well (not diagnosed at the time) and she thought I was gay and hitting on her for weeks because I kept pestering her to be friends.

That is so funny that your friends, one by one have gotten diagnosed! Seriously, I always thought I was normal, right? That I was just really good at relating to people who were different because I am a bit offputting myself, I think? So I have been around people with every diagnosis under the sun since my teens and it was only a few years ago that my boyfriend brought up to me that he was 99% sure I had undiagnosed ADHD and that I should stop being so hard on myself all the time. Was like “the fuck?” and then a lot of things made sense all of a sudden. Because ADHD is the only diagnosis I struggled to understand. When people told me about their issues and symptoms I was always like: But that’s just what it’s like to live, innit? Maybe I’m too stupid to understand ADHD?" and I read about it and listened some more to friends and colleagues who have it and it still just didn’t click for me because that’s how I feel all the time, but I’m normal, so I must just not get it. Not even once did I put two and two together, dude. Not once. Not until my man spelled it out for me at age 34. :'D I am dense as a brick sometimes.

Thank you xD I mean, I’m a fan of us too, but I’m also super biased lol.

I think its awesome that you guys have that agreement. There are also many different ways of flirting and the innocent kind, is no harm no foul. And as long as people figure out what works for them and everyone is happy, then who can be mad? I think I have pretty much seen it all at this point, considering that I have always moved in unconventional social circles. I’m a pretty basic bitch, but somehow have always found myself around people who are gay or trans or in polyamorous relationships or are swingers or into extreme body modification and so on (methinks it is undiagnosed ADHD or something like that. Fucking always end up with the outcasts in society). I can tell the difference between people who are in healthy dynamics and those who aren’t. Flirting with friends while everyone involved understand the boundaries, is so chill.

I’m the same as you, but in reverse: I sometimes miss being alone, but I don’t miss the flirting and the attention.

And honestly, the “missing the loneliness” has kinda been fixed now that we no longer live in small apartments, but have a house with rooms where we can be ourselves when we need it. We are that weird kind of couple who love being alone together. He does his thing, I do mine and occassionally one comes over to give the other a hug and a smooch. And if one or the other needs extra attention, we put down whatever we are working on to give it to them. For example, he’s gotten hooked on collecting fossils recently and sometimes he bursts with the need to do lectures about pre-historic aquatic life and their anatomy and he comes over and dumps one fossil in my hands after the other while he talks. It’s the same when I go off on one of my things. Like I can talk at length about movies, foreign cultures and their habits and languages. And then we have a mutual interest in birds. Like I saw a raven fly over our house the other day and immediately called him and we babbled for several minutes about my observations to make sure it was a raven and not a crow. If either of us are out and see a weird bird, we snap a pic if possible and send it to the other and discuss what bird it is if it isn’t immediately apparent.

How the frick would I find a guy like that ever again? Do they even make those anymore? I need someone to match my level of mundane weird.

Ps: this is his most recent bird identification pic in our privat chat. He correctly identified it as a curlew. I double checked my bird lexicon. The rest of our chat is full of pictures of fossils xD

hehe, yeah. Honestly, good for us. I for one, am so relieved that I’m off the market. It’s so draining, dude xD

It’s funny, I have had that exact experience with guys when I was young. The second I started returning the interest, they would drop me like I was a venomous snake and go flirt with someone else.

Until I met my boyfriend I just thought men didn’t want women to like them back. Color me confused when the pre historic version of incel/manosphere culture began bitching about women playing hard to get back in the late 2000s/early 2010s on various forums.

Was over here like: y’all are the ones who run for the hills whenever a girl shows you she likes you, though. 🤷‍♀️

I once managed to get heatstroke in a air-conditioned car in the middle east. May not have been demonic possession, but sure as shit felt like it xD the heat down there is metal af. Ten minutes outside is life threatening. Put some things into perspective for my Scandinavian ass.

Tbf, humans are the least sensical animal on the planet.

We are genuinely freaks of nature.

I enjoyed watching some playthroughs of a couple of games over the years, but then I sorta lost interest. Used to follow John Wolfe a lot and watch his playthroughs. He was good at finding never heard of indie games in the horror genre, so I witnessed a few gems through him.

I genuinely do not regret jumping off the video game train back in 2015.

Everything I have heard about the evolution of the gaming industry since has surpassed my pessimistic predictions back then, which could be summarized as: video games are becoming predatory and I feel like they eat my time and money for dismissed returns.

It was especially the consol market and the whole online aspect that made me wrinkle my nose. Feels like nowadays you actually can’t buy and play a game offline.

But what do I know. I only tune in when my friend is playing on twitch and we talk about life over Signal. We have gone back to retro games recently too. Jake and Daxter 🎉
