House of Leaves. I was obsessed with that book. Even ended up writing a paper on it and got a pretty good grade.

Haven’t reread it since because I don’t want to risk spoiling the memory by potentially realizing it isn’t as good as I remember it, haha.

Tak tak :D ja jeg burde nok bare have knyttet sylten til at starte med men jeg havde brug for at skrige lidt yay ud i verden til nogen eftersom alle er gået på weekend x’(

Seriously, good on you and your friend for proving the negative assessments of your skills in childhood wrong! That is awesome!

I totally get what you mean about finding an environment where there are more people with quirky brains for lack of a better word. I’m in the same boat, but a different field. It is staggering just how many people are disordered or mentally ill in my field. So so sooooooo many ADHDers and people with autism. So many. In hindsight I realized that I have always vibed the absolute best with people who were a bit off. Most of my close friends throughout life have later been diagnosed with either adhd or autism. It is actually pretty crazy to think of. Like a friggin magnet, I always ended up in those crowds.

I also won’t consider myself gifted or smart. It would be nice to be that, but I honestly think I’m average or a bit below.

I have my moments where I’m super fucking sharp, but most of the time I feel like a bumbling idiot, tbh. I learned to read and write etc very slowly. I was always a bit behind or just good enough to not be considered completely dumb. I was in an extra math class after school with other kids who were extremely bad at math but ended up being kicked out because I too good at math to be in that class. That doesn’t mean I was good at math, I was just just terrible enough to be in that class.

I only learned things if they interested me. When I realized that reading and writing gave me access to reading and writing stories, I learned to read and write very quickly. When I got into my country’s version of high-school, I went from barely passable grades in math to pretty good grades because some of the math, exponential functions and stuff like that for some reason translated into fun on my brain.

I learned English (my second language) mostly because I became obsessed with a rather advanced novel when I was 17 and it only existed in English so I learned English by reading it. Before that, I had the most basic English skills.

It’s always been like this. I only learn something if something else motivates me. I cannot just sit down and learn stuff if it bores me and most things tend to bore me until my brain randomly pics out one topic and goes “now this is your new oxygen for the next few days weeks or months. I dunno, I don’t have timeline, but until I say otherwise, this is the most interesting thing in the world”.

I have a few skills that are above average but for the most part I’m a very ignorant kinda dumb person. I did get an IQ test when I was a young teen but I don’t trust the results. The only positive that came out of getting tested like that was that my teachers dropped the topic of me being retarded, but I still don’t trust those results. At all.

Thank you for the compliment, btw! I try my best to be a kind person to other people and I definitely see myself as a small part of the village. That is the type of role I feel suits me the best in any community because I tend to pop in and out of existence constantly. Super present and there some days and then hiding in my hole while recovering other days, lol. Social stuff equally sustains and drains me. There’s no middle ground xD

Tak! Helt uspecificeret var der mere end én ovenpå et barkst første halvår og det kan jo også noget! :')

Nogle gange bliver jeg næsten sur over at jeg arbejder i så nichet en branche at jeg ikke kan tale om noget som helst positivt der sker på jobbet uden risiko for at doxe mig selv. Men altså, det har bare været en optursdag i dag! Så yay!

Jeg er glad for at du tog konen og kattene med ❤️

Jeg er nok lidt en naiv optimist, men jeg tror faktisk på at USA kommer til at tage ved lære af denne periode og på en del områder vil tage sig sammen og blive bedre. Vi skal bare lige igennem denne tossede periode først og det kommer nok til at blive værre før det bliver bedre, men håbet er ikke ude endnu 🤗

• og det kommer endda fra en person, der har haft en del foragt overfor USA siden Bush. Det er et land, der frustrerer mig grænseløst, men jeg bliver ved med at tro på at det vil blive bedre en dag. Sådan har jeg det med mange tåbelige lande rundt om i verden. Det bliver bedre en dag.

I just went through some tabs on my work computer and there were several tabs about Werner Herzog, then a few true crime tabs, a bunch of houses on sale tabs, pinterest tabs about how to sow a frog and then a bunch of work related tabs with documents, emails, dropboxes and so on.

Skriver på flydende dansk - undskyld mit danske xD Haha.

Du skriver sgu bedre dansk end jeg gør makker! Er glad for at du flyttede hertil. Kom du alene eller tog du noget familie med? Det må være forfærdeligt at se sit eget land forrådne på den måde. :( jeg håber at USA får styr på sine prioriteter en dag og faktisk bliver et land, der er værd at leve i.

Personally, I have not been a fan of America since Bush, mostly because that was when I got old enough to be somewhat politically aware. My parents weren’t fans either. Especially not my dad. It was due to their wars and their pathetic to non-existing welfare system which we saw as a human right in my country. The fact that they were more interested in having a big military and running war campaigns in other countries than they were securing their population had access to free healthcare and education was repulsive to us.

We saw them as the lesser evil of all the superpowers, but that didn’t mean we adored them. Trump’s presidency is just the end result of decades of American arrogance. I will say that I had a lot of hope for America during Obama’s presidency as he seemed to attempt to establish a welfare system that would be beneficial and more fair for the public, but we have all seen how this has since been rejected by voters so whatever.

Tbf, only Americans considered America the best country in the world. The rest of us have seen it as a third world country in denial when it comes to social issues for decades. The only non-americans who think America is the greatest are people who live in scrap metal shacks in countries run by dictators and egotistical assholes who hate welfare and Healthcare.

That is also my thought. If you want to make AI generated content, which is going to cost the environment a ton (40 phone charges per prompt, people) and do prompt after prompt after prompt - then WHY would you waste all that time and pollution on a fucking gag comic that you could draw yourself in five minutes?

To me, that is peak retardation when it comes to AI fanboys. At least use that time and pollution on something worthwhile.

It is a medical word for getting tested for breast cancer. I didn’t bring it up because it is a difficult word to understand, but because it is difficult to pronounce correctly without stumbling over it. Yacht is not difficult in any way since our word for yacht is also yacht and because the spellings and sounds are pretty common in for example German, which is another language we are being taught from an early age.

Of course, all languages and their difficulties are relative depending on where in the world you live, but if you’re European, especially western European, then it is pretty silly to be impressed that people can pronounce yacht.

Having a long word like skildvagtslymfeknudeundersøgelse is a lot more tricky since it’s a bit of a tongue twister to pronounce and if you aren’t well versed in Danish, you will also not know when or how to pronounce each letter, as several of them have different sounds or no sounds at all at different places in the word. That is why I brought it up.

Nope, but it does come up if you get tested for breast cancer.

Point is, that yacht isn’t a difficult word at all. Especially not if you’re European, since the word for yacht in many European languages is… yacht.

German is wild! I never managed to get I to stick.

It’s a medical term or word or whatever. But it is not easy to pronounce at all. That’s the thing with Danish. We have a lot of letters that are silent or changes sound depending on what letters they are next to and sometimes just because.

Even if you have skildvagtslymfeknudeundersøgelse broken down for you, I doubt you’d be able to pronounce it correctly because several repeat letters in that word are pronounced differently and some of them are silent.

Words like: ord, ost, mos, mos and orden all have vastly different ways of pronouncing the o and mos and mos are completely different words with completely different pronunciations where you can literally only tell which one it is based on context in the text. By themselves, you will not know.

Every language has their little quirks like that, but everybody knows how to pronounce yacht as yacht is the word for fancy boat in many languages. The post above is basically like being impressed that a foreigner knows how to pronounce “okay”.

Is that the baddie? I only saw the first Ironman movie and that was a million years ago.

Ten years ago, I barely knew who he was. Would’ve liked to have kept it that way.

Bitch please:

Skildvagtslymfeknudeundersøgelse

Welcome to Danish.
