Norway mentiones how the Olaf Haraldson died the “martyr” death in 1030 while trying to make Norway christian. The entire second verse is about the early medieval kings. The stanza in the second verse reads something like this: “…On the country Olav painted the cross with his blood”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Coffee people of Lemmy, what do you think about non-coffee people?
4·26 days agoTbh, I don’t care one iota what people eat or drink. I have had people in a social setting in a beer place who wanted hot water. I got her hot water, making sure if was boiled and not just hot tap water.
Relax, order what you like and want. I also think you put way to much into the reactions. And even if they did, what does it matter? Besides hot chocolate in October is a perfectly normal drink. (Not that you should care)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What phrases of wisdom have really stuck with you?
1·26 days agoLol. You take it way to seriously. But for the discourse I will counter.
Ofc a parent or a child is irreplaceable for the family. A friend or a lived one, a pet is irreplaceable for those close to them.
And I interpret it that people over emphasise their own importance. No boss is irreplaceable, no CEO or politician is ultimately so important they can’t be replaced with new people. There will come new experts, there will be new leaders, new visionaries, new scientists. When the current ones grow old and inevitably follow the path we all must go.

No one is really irreplaceable
Well. Thats an issue. You can only choose from people whom the organization has put up. Few people participate in organizations/parties.
But you are free to make your own party and nominate who ever you like. So I don’t really agree with your statement.
It’s easy to complain. How would you organize elections?
Isnt this the same in every democratic country? A political party is an organized group of people who share a common set of goals, values, whatever. They make their own rules, and who they decide to put up for election is entirely up to the organization by the rules they have set up for themselves.
Might be different in the US since you have a two party system and it seems that there is some official involvement in the elections of candidates

2·28 days agoRemember my mother letting me sit up and watch the Ceaușescu trial when I was perhaps 11.
Don’t think she reckoned that they (Norwegian state broadcaster NRK) would also show the execution. Remember they (ex-dictator and wife) were lined up against a wall, then fell down and a man in a white coat checked them.

These are all concept cars. In other words often just fantasy. Even if they do make a prototype it’s in no way guaranteed that it will see production. Anyone remember the Citroen or Renault where the seat was part of the door. Even featured as a prototype on Top Gear.
Just fantasy
