Yes, I know it technically doesn't apply anymore, but I don't care. Oh, and Fuck Putin.
Help me bring illustrations to you at a regular rate!
the taliban didn’t kill these kids in cold blood because they went to school. they did it because the army recently launched an operation in Waziristan which is a Taliban stronghold. the operation is called zarb-e-azb. the kids who died went to a school run by the pakistani army…

The youngest victim was ten years old. The uniforms they wore were school uniforms. Teachers were gunned down in front of their students and set on fire while the attackers shouted “God is great!” Al-fucking-Qaeda has condemned the attack.
Go fuck yourself.
I think (and hope) the point is the running narrative for Islamist terror attacks is that they just spring out of the ground, and there was no way to see this sort of thing coming. The point isn’t that there is ever a reason for killing children—there isn’t, but that’s hardly a controversial topic—but that there are events that lead up to x or y terror attack and it isn’t just the mysterious, unknowable MIDDLE EAST at work again. It’s the 9/11 narrative all over again.
I'm going to be honest: the point of the narrative? Don't care. At all. Anybody who starts off a conversation involving the storming of a school and the shooting deaths of over 130 children with a, "Yeah, but..." can go fuck themselves.

"Awwww, shit. The bad guys are behind me, aren't they?"
this is funny because americans want to talk to me about black metal all the time, and i’ve never felt the need to go all rage-out about it.
also, i’m not sure why you seem to think that i invented the “texas as an expression” thing? it’s a norwegian expression that predates my birth, at least as far as i know. and yes, i am aware that the old west was not texas, and that most westerns were not set there, but the thing is, when an expression or a slang term like this is created, it’s not always going to be literally historically accurate.
jesus, i can’t believe i’m having to explain this like it’s something that actually matters - this is like explaining a joke, only even more excruciating.
first of all, norwegians are perfectly aware that the things to which we are referring when we use the expression “texas” do not actually represent the state of texas.
second of all, i was not present when the first norwegian ever used the word “texas” as synonymous with a situation that’s out of control, but i would imagine that the background was something like: US westerns are set in a variety of different places; some, though not a majority, are set in texas; texas is a well-known US state even outside of this context, and one which most norwegians will have heard of; the stereotypical image of a texan involves cowboy hats; all these things get muddled together, thanks to the ubiquity of US popular culture, and we have ourselves a kind of inherently and knowingly ridiculous slang term.
and i mean, you’re right, i don’t know shit about john wayne or westerns, though i do know that the wild west had considerably less to do with texas than the origin of the norwegian slang term would suggest, but tbh that’s the price you pay for flooding the rest of the world with your popular culture; some of it is going to be taken out of context and misrepresented and end up as hilarious slang terms for unruly situations in foreign countries. sorry ‘bout it.
I just want to make sure I have your position correct here. You’re “finding it funny” that someone is using the name “Oslo” to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Oslo or Norway, while at the same time mocking people who are taking umbrage at the fact that you’re using “Texas” to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Texas or the US. Have I gotten that right?
what i “found funny” was the way that person went “yeah well WE CALL SOMETHING NATIONALISTIC AND XENOPHOBIC “OSLO”” when, you know, that is objectively, demonstrably not true - using the word “oslo” as a synonym for xenophobia or nationalism is not a thing in US english. you can try to make it a thing if you want, i won’t stop you - though i’d argue that nationalism and xenophobia are rather more serious things to make up a frivolous slang term for based on a geographical location than just, like, “oh shit, this got real crazy real fast”, which is how “texas” is used in norwegian.
it’s just such a childish response, you know? that’s what i found funny, because, like… it is.
So, in other words, “Yes, I find it funny that someone is using the name ‘Oslo’ to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Oslo or Norway, while at the same time mocking people who are taking umbrage at my using ‘Texas’ to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Texas or the US.”
You know, it would have been much quicker to just have said, “Yep,” rather than that whole run-on paragraph you just posted.
i don’t get it, how can you write when you can’t read
Is this a case where you literally have no idea what you’re trying to say anymore, so you’re hoping desperately that no one can read what it is you’ve typed out? Let me point your own words out for you here.
My translation: ”I find it funny that someone is using the name ‘Oslo’ to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Oslo or Norway.” Your statement: ”what i ‘found funny’ was the way that person went ‘yeah well WE CALL SOMETHING NATIONALISTIC AND XENOPHOBIC “OSLO”’ when, you know, that is objectively, demonstrably not true”

are you guys like a team of performance artists
because this is a magnificent performance
Deflection is a time-honoured tradition, but it's never been a respected one. Are you going to acknowledge your hypocrisy, or are you going admit that you've made a mistake, and walk away with at least the semblance of dignity?

My translation: "I find it funny that someone is using the name 'Oslo' to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Oslo or Norway." Your statement: "what i 'found funny' was the way that person went 'yeah well WE CALL SOMETHING NATIONALISTIC AND XENOPHOBIC “OSLO”' when, you know, that is objectively, demonstrably not true"
My translation: "While at the same time mocking people who are taking umbrage at my using 'Texas' to describe a pattern of behaviour that is in no way relevant to either Texas or the US."

so is it a thing in (american) english to use “texas” as a word for like, something that’s out of control or chaotic, or as like, “crazy”? like “that party last weekend was totally texas!”
because that is a thing…
Yeah. Your shitty nationalism is not funny.
So fuck off.
this is very beautiful
Is it? Because you linked to an incident that occurred because of Norwegian nationalism, in a thread you made where a supposedly Norwegian person points out the [inferior] qualities of another group of people.
I guess it’d make more sense if it was any place that wasn’t Norway, since it is one of the most racist and nationalistic nations in the world?
But that’s beautiful to you.
Cool.
oh my god i have no idea what’s even going on here anymore
i linked to that because i genuinely couldn’t tell if you just threw “oslo” out there as the only place in norway you could name, or if you were deliberately making a reference to a terrorist attack committed by a xenophobic nationalist in and near oslo. don’t get me wrong, your comment was ridiculous either way, but i couldn’t tell if it was, like, kind of gross ridiculous or just stupid ridiculous.
and i have no idea from where you’re getting the idea that the word “texas” used about a situation that’s kind of out of control has anything to do with us believing texans to be inferior?
tl;dr you’re not… making any sense…? and that is very beautiful.
When you don’t know what’s going on, the best recourse is just to shut up.
There’s nothing to be gained by continuing to speak on the topic.
And if you can’t even understand why the context of Texas… man, forget it. There’s nothing to gain from talking to you. Just keep being what I said you were and everything’s the way it should be.
it’s funny because what is happening here is that you literally came into my post, completely misunderstood the context of it, decided that it is somehow an example of norway’s xenophobia and nationalism instead of literally being a reference to ~the wild west~ which, in norway, has become associated specifically with texas because of american westerns (and tbh probably just because it’s a big and very well-known state), you made a weak retort that may or may not have been a reference to a terrorist attack that happened in norway a few years ago, and now you’re… very angry.
the thing is, i’m not going to tell you that norway is not xenophobic and nationalistic, because obviously it is? obviously xenophobia, nationalism and racism are huge problems in norway, just as in all european countries and certainly also in the US, but i assure you that of all the peoples and places and cultures norwegians are prejudiced towards, texas is most certainly not one of them. norway loves america - possibly none do so more than the most racist and xenophobic among us - and we have no beef with texas at all. we just all have dads who grew up on john wayne movies.
You keep trying to reference the Oslo bombing like it’s why I said it and I keep ignoring you because that’s absurd. I said Oslo, ostensibly, for the same reason you’d pick Texas — because it’s the largest part of Norway that people would be able to speak of.
But reducing your example to, “we think of Texans as cowboys and wild west violent shoot em ups” is about as different as me saying, “all Norwegians are pillaging, raping vikings” so I guess I don’t see why you wasted your time explaining.
I also don’t get your PA tags, but the fact you post in tags says enough.
I’m not sure why the OP is having such a hard time understanding why people don’t find it cute when their country or state is reduced to a meme by some clueless guy who obviously has no first-hand knowledge of the place.
When someone says something stupid like “You are Norwegian? I love your Black Metal! How many stave churches have you bruned this week?” A Norwegian wouldn’t be obligated to “appreciate the compliment.” Your “fun thing” isn’t always a funny thing to the people whose home gets reduced to a caricature by some ignorant and insulated outsider.
It is not the fault of people from The States or Texas for not getting your joke. It doesn’t matter how many other Norwegian people think it is all in good fun.
As for the whole “It’s the Old West! Bang, bang, hang’em high! I love your John Wayne!” John Wayne made I think 84 Westerns. Of those about 8 were set at least partially in Texas — and that’s if you count The Alamo which is really a historical or war film. Most Westerns were not set in Texas. The Old West was not Texas. So, what you are saying is that you didn’t even watch your dad’s John Wayne films closely enough.
People are not impressed with your cutesy and fun saying because it shows that you really don’t know anything about Texas, the Old West, American history, or even the products of American pop culture.
No one is going to be terribly thrilled to be told “Awesome! I think this one-dimensional factually inaccurate bullshit about the place you live is really cool!”
But no hard feelings! I loved you guys in Frozen.
this is funny because americans want to talk to me about black metal all the time, and i’ve never felt the need to go all rage-out about it.

Will there be a Slaine Slaying Advent Calender this year?
I was thinking about it. Advent began the other night, but I might do a 12 Days of Moon Guard this year to keep it focused.
It's that magical time of year again, when we all gather 'round the piano as we croon "What fun it is to laugh and sing a Slaine-ing song tonight."

Hey, the fact that you actually remember that song's title makes you somewhat suspect. You're more Yank than Canuck now, and that's not even the worst part. We have lost yet another to the Icelandic Horde Who Endeavour to Corrupt The Great White North By Impersonating Americans.
They really need to work on that name, though. I get that they wanted an English version that had the same number of letters as their Icelandic one, but by the time we get halfway through that, we've forgotten what we were talking about.

First of all, The Hockey Night in Canada theme is on every Canadian's workout playlist. Hell, it's mandated by Royal Decree that we shall all sing it immediately after singing "O Canada." Especially when "O Canada" is sung at hockey games.
Second: You Oughta Know? That Don't Impress Me Much? Psh. You don't mention an Alanis song to a Canadian by bringing up one of her "Had to Go to America to Get Paid" songs; you mention Never Too Hot, thankyouverymuch. And the best Shania Twain song is Gonna Getcha Good.
Because Shania in a tight outfit.
Like, ‘I’m such a bisexual woman’, and I’d be like, ‘But you had boyfriends your whole life, you’re not gay. Why are you pretending to be? What’s with that?”
Straight’s cool too, you know! It’s almost like gay nowadays is so trendy…
I’m not really sure what your point is?
David Bowie turned used bisexuality as a marketing point. He did it specifically for the sake of capitalizing on the ideas of others and stealing their identity for pecuniary gain. He was nothing more than someone making a cash grab and turning a sexuality into a fashion statement.
People that pretend to be straight to avoid PERSECUTION have literally NOTHING to do with people that pretend to be bi for the sake of selling records. Like, get your mind right if you’re coming at me like that.
My point is that straight people don’t get to define who’s truly lgbt just because david bowie lied. People are so quick to place lgbt identities under the lens but would never dare do the same to straight people.
I did not do that though… If you mean Iggy, she often says dumb stuff.
Iggy Pop, though?
Iggy Pop is a sage, the likes of which we have not had on this forsaken world for at least two thousand years. He can never say “dumb stuff,” you heathen. He even had a song that was made just for ninety-eight percent of tumblr users:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5qBiuIR7ig
Featuring Sum 41? What is wrong with you, kid? You got any Lou Reed jamming with The Offspring?
Hey, you gotta filter that through something the kids'll be able to comprehend. You put undistilled Iggy Pop in front of them, you'd melt their little brains.
Although, I have to admit: there's a part of me that would be interested in hearing Lou Reed jamming with The Offspring. I never claimed to be a well man.
this sums up my dash usually
Rofl, mine too. Rumze is the nicest.
Rumze is a babe
Many’s the time, I was in a right royal mood, ready to tear the throat out of the first person who said or did the wrong thing, only to have Rumze pop by and say something that would immediately make things all better.
And I’d sometimes think, “Thanks a lot, Rumze. I wanted to be in a snarky mood, you know.”
And then I’d immediately mentally apologise and send myself to my room for a time out to think about what I’d done.
… Fuck Canada.
Now, now. Just because your country doesn't have a Rumze doesn't mean you can lash out like that. I think someone needs to have a time out to think about what he's done.
Like, ‘I’m such a bisexual woman’, and I’d be like, ‘But you had boyfriends your whole life, you’re not gay. Why are you pretending to be? What’s with that?”
Straight’s cool too, you know! It’s almost like gay nowadays is so trendy…
I’m not really sure what your point is?
David Bowie turned used bisexuality as a marketing point. He did it specifically for the sake of capitalizing on the ideas of others and stealing their identity for pecuniary gain. He was nothing more than someone making a cash grab and turning a sexuality into a fashion statement.
People that pretend to be straight to avoid PERSECUTION have literally NOTHING to do with people that pretend to be bi for the sake of selling records. Like, get your mind right if you’re coming at me like that.
My point is that straight people don’t get to define who’s truly lgbt just because david bowie lied. People are so quick to place lgbt identities under the lens but would never dare do the same to straight people.
I did not do that though… If you mean Iggy, she often says dumb stuff.
Iggy Pop, though?
Iggy Pop is a sage, the likes of which we have not had on this forsaken world for at least two thousand years. He can never say "dumb stuff," you heathen. He even had a song that was made just for ninety-eight percent of tumblr users:
