In the youth mental asylum one of the kids taught me how to play Metallica - Nothing Else Matters with a guitar.
My bathroom stinks even though I cleaned it. I also can't pinpoint the source. It's not the toilet and I even smelled the sinks (I used drain cleaner, several times on several days, on all of them) What else could it be? It smells like poop. I also washed my shower curtain.

Do any of you use Discord or are involved in local hobby communities?
I'm depressed and lonely. For the longest time, I've only been involved in anonymous online forums. But recently I have decided to paint miniatures again and went to a local hobby store. They have a discord and I joined. People find other people to meet up for all kinds of games, rpgs and hobby stuff. I think this might be a good chance to find real life friends instead of reading the ramblings of deranged schizos online.

Yes, my WoW guild's.
I am great friends with all of them.
They are mostly quite normies, so i won't discuss with them about some race and IQ or the JOOS shit, but other than that they are quite chill out people and i can enjoy my gaming with them without feeling too awkward.
There is this kinda unspoken rule that no one brings up politics, and i am 100% fine with that, as otherwise i am sure i would absolutely hate some people i like as of now.
Not everything needs to be fucking twitter with 247 politics going on.
What really happened when the Indo-Europeans came to Europe? What were Old Europeans like?

Cmon, just quit the assumption that Yamnaya were completely monolithic (protip: no material culture is) and everything makes much more sense.
Northern Caucasus is very linguistically diverse today & there is no reason to assume Yamnaya who came from that exact region (and who are demonstrably decent part CHG ancestry) would not include a CHG language speaking group too.
Did you ever find a nice girl for yourself on interpals?

>How did you do it
I'm not sure, just sent a lot of messages first, and then skyped a lot. It was very natural. I supposing being "normal" and having decent profile pictures was important.
>Did you contact them or did they contact you
They both contacted me after I viewed their profile. For the first girl, the Malaysian, I was in Malaysia at the time and she asked what I thought of her city (KL). So we met up and we had a lot in common. I wasn't as nice to her as I should have been at the end of our relationship and I regret that a lot. The Singaporean girl I started talking to towards the end of my relationship of the Malaysian girl, and my attraction to the Singaporean girl caused me to break up with the Malaysian one. Once again, I wasn't as nice to the Singaporean girl at the end of our relationship as I should have been. The girl I cheated on her with and left her for eventually broke up with me and told me she was gay, which was the 2 out of 3 times that has happened.
>Was there an intention of getting a relationship
Not at first and it developed over time. I think you have to understand that people who are on that site are fairly lonely and are specifically looking for someone to talk to. Lots just want postcards and letters, but I feel an equal amount are searching for *something* which equates to a relationship.
I never really think long distance relationships work, and I think they partially start due to how each party feels isolated and alone, and feels as though they can only make a connection with a total stranger on the internet. But that's just my take.
I was friends with a German in Kansas City who moved to the US and married a girl he met on Interpals, and I found out because I met him on oldKC. I think they divorced though.
Yes. I lost my virginity to a beautiful virgin French girl on this website, but I was autistic and did not keep up with her after this, should have gf'd her. But I was 18-19 when I used it most, and this was years ago. Mostly just very horny and lonely girls looking for validation. Long distance stuff is not worth it though, although I do miss that girl. Many also have you and a bunch of other male orbiters (not that I did not talk to multiple girls also).

Any special Valentine's day plans Bernd?
From where did this whole meme of "white people don't season their food lmao xdXdxD" came from?, or even a better question, from where is people taking that statement from?, everyone seasons their food in all the cultures I think the only one that doesn't is the british but out of that, everybody seasons their food germans, slavs, southern europeans, uralics, scandinavians, chinese, americans, canadians, hispanic, japanese, mongolians, koreans and arabs, everyone does it.

America.
I believe someone pointed out that during 19th century, some proddies had the idea that making their food taste good is wrong because enjoying anything worldly is sinful. So they made their food as bland as possible on purpose.
That said, Europe even has history of its own sharply spiced food. Mustard isn't native to Europe technically but has been grown and used here for a long time. And then there's horseradish…
>some proddies had the idea that making their food taste good is wrong because enjoying anything worldly is sinful. So they made their food as bland as possible on purpose.
I'm not defending zealotry and retarded pseudo-religious practices, but it is this kind of attitude, this kind of willpower that can really change the world. I have a lot of respect for American pilgrims and early protestants in general.
It's nice to have more of you guys from Americas recently, I really missed you on bernd.group.

Finnish meme industry is as dead as Nokia.
Zoomers just don't have the soul Millennial Jonnes had for creativity, and old Jonnes are now some 30 year old normies who quit imageboards years ago.
Modern Ylilauta memes are just some 1:1 references to something happening in Finland or lifted /pol/ memes.

Vikings put babies on spears.
In the Icelandic Landnamabók, which tells about the times and people during the settlement of Iceland by the Norse around 870-930, the nickname of a certain Viking is told:
>Ölvir barnakarl hét maðr ágætr í Nóregi. Hann var víkingr mikill. Hann lét eigi henda börn á spjótaoddum, sem þá var víkingum títt. Því var hann barnakarl kallaðr.
<Ölvir child-man was the name of an excellent man in Norway. He was a great Viking. He didn't impale children on the ends of spears, as Vikings used to do. That is why he was called child-man.

That is a good question and one that scholars debate over for every single text.
As for the landnámabók (book about the settlement), it is relatively old. Written only about 100-200 years after the settlement and around the time when Iceland officially became Christian, that means in that time pagans were still around. There exist several copies of the landnámabók, showing different degrees of emphasis on Christianity. That doesn't guarantee pagan or christian sympathies of the author, but the probability of it being free of Christian bias is higher than in later medieval texts and the authors were certainly more familiar with the topic.
It is possible that the story of Ölvir barnakarl was exaggerated to make pagans look bad. It is also possible that it really was like that sometimes. We can't be 100% sure, but from what I've read in Old Norse sources, this level of violence was at least plausible. If you look at how viking raids were described by Britons, for example, you also have to take them with a grain of salt but they speak of insane amounts of violence. Let's not forget that we know for a fact pagan Scandinavians practiced killing of their own children in certain cases and Germanic tribes were known to sacrifice humans in desperate times.
But the truth is somewhere in the middle. Many viking trips didn't result in raids, they were just trading trips. Sometimes they practiced extortion, but sometimes they did raids. Surely some raping and killing and putting babies on spears did happen at least once or twice.
Good Christian Icelanders also literally bashed each others heads in with rocks during disputes about the power of local chieftains vs that of the church.
>The Battle of Víðines (Icelandic: Víðinesbardagi) of 1208 was a conflict that took place between secular and clerical forces in early 13th century Iceland.
>The Catholic bishop Guðmundur Arason had defended the exclusive judicial powers of the Roman Catholic Church over its clergy against the secular powers of the goði chieftains. In 1208, Kolbeinn Tumason and Arnór Tumason of the Ásbirningar clan and Sigurður Ormsson of the Svínfellingar clan advanced on the see of Guðmundur Arason. They wanted the bishop to give up several men in his assembly with whom they claimed they had rightful business. The bishop stood by his claim that the clergy should retain judicial power in its own affairs, and a conflict ensued at Víðines, near Hólar, the seat of the bishop. Kolbeinn Tumason died in the battle, his head bashed in with a large rock, and the clan troops dissipated. Before he died, he composed the poem "Heyr, himna smiður" (Hear, heavenly creator"), which is a classic Icelandic hymn to this very day.
