  • Let’s be honest, the US was no shining beacon of democracy even before Trump. The system was rotten and everyone knew it. However, those with the power to change it have no incentive to do so. It was basically held up because the poeple in charge had some common decency. At that point it’s just a matter of time before someone came along that didn’t have this basic decency.

    I think the people of the UK should take a long, hard look at how the situation has evolved in the US and decide if they want to change their system to avoid having only two parties dominate the political climate. Ironically, being a monarchy means they are probably more resistant to going down the same route, but I suspect the parties are going to get more radical as time goes on and the royals aren’t terribly popular these days.

    (Opinion to be taken with a pinch of salt. I am no expert in these things and don’t live in either country; We’ve got our own radicalization and issues with our own democracy.)

    You would also get the same problem as the op in Norweigan.
    Hvor = Where
    Hvem = Who
    (Hvorfor = Why / Wherefore)
    English is the odd one out here, it seems. (Also why I would rather be learning German from Norwegian than English, but oh well.)






  • I doubt he planned to kill the player. He was planning to wait at the finish line to beat us to it. Then he realizes who the final boss is, becomes coinvinced he can’t beat it, and reasons that since it is impossible for him it must also be impossible for everyone else. Then he tries to kill us because he is afraid we will prove that it isn’t actually impossible. That’s my read on it, anyway.



  • I object to some of the information about the Norwegian hot dog. Firstly, lompe is not a tortilla: it’s made from potatoes. (You also roll it all the way around the sausage.) The sausages are either shorter hot dogs or wieners. They are usually eaten with ketchup, mustard, onion (raw or roasted), and usually some sort of dressing. Simple and good.

    The book is another layer. It references the image format of two books next to eachother, one being labeled as a long story and the other labeled as the same story, but with some twist that makes the story much shorter or non-existant.

    So it’s saying that it has short or non-existant story.
