The jury is still out.

That’s what my partner used to say to me before he got the diagnosis. It sounded as if he never had any thoughts in his head. It put a strain on our relationship too, because he used to answer this those times I noticed he wasn’t listening while I was talking and asked what he was thinking about. Sometimes it seemed like he didn’t care at all.

Turns out he has too many thoughts in his head, and “nothing” was indeed the easiest answer. I guess it doesn’t really matter what the truth is to a random person, but it does matter to your friends and family.

Do most countries require a pledge? Mine didn’t when I got my citizenship.

Gib belly rubs!

The perfect little helper

Fearless!

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Amen.

Why wouldn’t you recommend it to everyone?

Jo Nesbø, if you’re into crime/police novels.

Adorable!

Oh, right! I was only vaguely familiar with the blood libel thing, it explains a lot.

Yeah, it is kinda hilarious. I’m just a bit apathetic due to current state of the world that was in no small part caused by ridiculous conspiracy theories. And this one sounded familiar at its core.

Isn’t that a popular conspiracy theory in multiple countries already, people in power snatching children for their blood? I know my neighbor believes that our prime minister drinks children’s blood.

It’s a study; I imagine they controlled for age and other factors if the article states the study “found”, not “suggested” or similar looser term. It’s not an opinion, but a result of a scientific process. Your dislike for term “gamer fact”, even if it’s a bit cringe, doesn’t change that.

You can buy both gall soap and washing detergent without sodium laureth sulfate, so yes.

Indeed, it helped me a lot when I didn’t know when to start. Searching on the web can yield very old results, and you simply don’t know what is outdated and what’s not.

I hand wash any clothes that require it, and I had to get out blood and such at times. I recommend gall soap for that first, then wash. You should not use generic soap though, as it foams too much. If you have any washing detergent available use just a little and hand wash, then rinse thoroughly.

Det har vært skogbrannfare grunnet tørke i hele landet, inkludert Vestlandet. Det vil nok regne snart da, om det ikke gjør det allerede.

It’s actually been dry, especially in Mid-Norway.
