  • If you’re gonna have a relationship, that means making some effort to make each other feel comfortable. Giving up on being vulgar is not a huge sacrifice - if anything it might be good to learn to make do without vulgarisms, as it tends ds to be an easy way out rather than very valuable interaction.

    If it feels like too much of a sacrifice for you then that’s probably a bad sign for the relationship. You need to be willing to make an effort, and she needs to feel both comfortable and heard around you.

    Give it a shot I’d say. In either case there’s no relationship without making an effort. :)



  • And even those who are not technically spies are funded by Russian money for saying the stupidest shit, and they know the money stops if they start acting like human beings. I’m sure there are many Russian operatives who are not even aware they are on a Russian payroll. They’re just too stupid and willfully ignorant to understand what they are doing.





  • Tja, jeg har aldri hørt noen snakke om Fattern i kontekst av musikk, bare YouTube og internett-humor fra tidlig 2000-tall. Artisten bak er ikke særlig kjent og jeg har aldri hørt Fattern bli nevnt av noen som helst i musikk-kontekst.

    Duplex er plateselskapet som tar humor på alvor i norsk musikk og som er relativt velrespektert. Vi har så klart også andre artister, Postgirobygget har en del snedige låter.

    Hahaha, blast from the past. Badekaret til pelle var vel egentlig den eneste sangen jeg hørte på av dem.

    Om du liker dette, sjekk ut Lasse Gjertsen også, han var en av pionerene i norsk YouTube. Rødmaling er en klassiker.

    Bare Egil Band’s sang om Arne er en fantastisk tullelåt fra samme periode, men Bare Egil og Bare Egil Band, samt Egils band Ikke Bare Bare Egil Band Band, har stått seg litt bedre med tiden enn Fattern og Gjertsen. Jo er en seriøst god låt.

    Edit: jeg innser at tidlig norsk YouTube var rimelig grotesk



  • Large userbases, and the “somebody is wrong on the internet” effect. If we like something we see we’ll possibly like/upvote it and move on with our life, if we see a problem we’re far more likely to jump on and interact. So a hundred people might read something and be neutral towards it, and it’s enough to have one asshole react poorly to ruin the mood completely.

    The same dynamic works for reply guys, and sadly the fediverse is in no way immune. But hopefully there are more people on here who are aware that it’s a community building exercise, and who make an effort to leave a positive footprint. :)


  • Threatening to stop therapy he obviously sorely needs in order to punish you for being reasonable?

    Therapy is not going to work for this guy if his attitude is that he doesn’t need it, and he’s only doing it as a favour to you (or to get you to shut up about it). They’re not magicians, they cannot fix someone who comes at it with the attitude there’s no problem nothing to fix. He clearly thinks he’s going there because you need it.

    Get away, he is not going to improve.


  • I moved to Denmark a few years ago, and have been picking up a line of cutlery whenever I see stuff I need in red cross stores. I have small tea spoons, big tea spoons, and one tiny cake fork.

    I prefer the smaller tea spoons not only for ice cream cake, but anything served with ice cream. So typically that’s also a lot of pies. The fork is better for dry crumbly cakes, but the spoons are better for creamy cakes. I wouldn’t eat a tiramisu with a fork if I have a spoon available.

    The bigger tea spoons I mostly only use for yogurt and stuff like that.


  • I’m so tired of open source developers being treated like public persons of whom relentless criticism for any character flaw, big or small, is fully justified. I’ve been guilty of this as well.

    We’re talking about a bunch of highly qualified nerds who have decided to give away their work for free. Of course many of them will have some quirks. Everybody has bad days, and on the internet a few moments of weakness will haunt you forever.

    It’s of course worth keeping the questionable things in mind, but the FOSS community also needs to get better at letting people enjoy things. Most of us are only human.



  • Yeah, same as that W thing was trying to do. It’s just a Nextcloud instance with a fancy domain name.

    That might not be a bad thing though. If people get off Dropbox and Google and start using Nextcloud I’m a fan, even if they do it for slightly dumb reasons. Being based in the Hague is not a crime even if you’re not an international institution, and if people think it’s an official EU thing because of association with a city with no major EU institutions in it that’s on them.
