Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:58 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab a lot of Norwegians have a "TV and movies" relationship to English and English speakers. fluent in English but you can tell they've been watching a lot of pop entertainment.i've had more exposure to real people. America is surprisingly diverse. for example, the DMV is mainly a California thing. so are "ten four" codes for police. a lot of what we get exposed to from America comes from Hollywood, i.e. Los Angeles. since i hardly watch any movies or TV shows these days, my main exposure is people i talk to online, so i have a different perspective. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:57 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab i think many people here, and in Europe, think "Hollywood" is the name of a town, but it's just a district of LA. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:55 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab yeah, district, borough, neighbourhood, different places place different labels on it.hell, even the city of Oslo does this. officially, there aren't many "bydeler" (cityparts) but in colloquial speech, there are many more. some of them overlap with the official ones, others are parts of those. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:53 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab they have some version of it, but it's not always called DMV. pretty sure of this. read a debunking article about that. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:47 JST Lutefisk @RustyCrab @Eris yeah, meta thing where even Americans are subject to californication. i didn't really consider that until a few moments ago. that American popular consciousness may, in fact, *also* be influenced by that. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:46 JST Lutefisk @RustyCrab @Eris one thing i don't think a lot of Europeans get is that when Americans say "state", it's actually kind of like a country yet not. it's this weird in-between thing.what most Europeans hear when Americans say "state" is "province" or "region" of a country. but America is kind of in between being one country and being several. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:39 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab i like to compare it to the EU.we are sovereign, but since we're a part of the union, willingly so, EU legislation sometimes overrides our own. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:38 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab technicality: Norway isn't in the EU, but we are in the EEA, which means this: we follow EU legislation, but can formally veto it. however, we never do. also, we can't vote for stuff. however, Sweden, Finland and Denmark are EU members, and they largely have the same interests as us, so we are indirectly represented, and we have close ties, so if Norway's concerned about some issue, we talk to our neighbours. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:37 JST Lutefisk @Eris @RustyCrab at one point, there was this movement called Scandinavism. the different Scandinavian countries have, at various points, ruled each other; Norway being the underdog that never ruled anyone, and was more of, uh, a "throwing ball" (Norwegian idiom) between Sweden and Denmark. but the idea is that Scandinavia should be a country. however, this is very much not a popular idea these days. -
Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Saturday, 15-May-2021 16:48:35 JST Lutefisk @hector @Eris @RustyCrab as far as i'm aware of, no, but Finland is not technically Scandinavian. like Iceland, it's Nordic.Scandinavian is from Scania, a latinisation of Skåne, a region of southern Sweden.so it's basically all the mainland countries of Norse origin.Iceland is also of Norse origin, but it's an island, so...Finland is a separate universe. we don't understand a word of what they're saying. also, there is Russian heritage. -

Lutefisk (thor@pl.thj.no)'s status on Wednesday, 23-Dec-2020 08:43:03 JST Lutefisk imho, "America" should be the continent, including South America as the southern half of it.USA needs to come up with a proper name for itself...Unitedstatesian doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it...someone from Mexico is *technically* an "American" aren't they... -
