| Born to Die I liked some of. Ultraviolence I liked very much. New stuff, however, I am not too sure about. |

| Does anybody else have experience with this or something similar? A few months ago, I decided to move to a new country (okay, reading it like that it a seems pretty stupid idea). I am back in the old country for a little while and it seemed like a good time to take stock of how it all went. On the d... |

Pilonidal Sinus. Spent three days in hospital, one drain in each side, and a huge scar.
A particularly unpleasant experience. |

| Who IS this person????? You metal rock fans seemed to know him well. Know him as both a musician, and as a convicted felon! Lol! So introduce him to the rest of us. Kristian "Varg" (Norwegian for 'Wolf') Vikernes. Briefly a bassist for the Norwegian Black Metal band 'Mayhem'. Played bass ... |

This is what confused me, too, especially since the video says 'No, I have not been diagnosed as autistic, I just know about it because my wife has been' or something. |

| 2) i.e. contact with strangers, i.e. foreigners (not foreigners, good lord!) Good lord. Haha. No he uses the word foreigner in attempt to hit the sense of otherness. I don't know about that; Varg Vikernes is on record with his, well, I won't say dislike of foreigners, but certainly he thinks races ... |

| But he used this video as a way to talk about his politics; it was not a political manifestation of autistic tendencies. He moves through the points as thus: 1) More and more people are receiving a diagnosis of autism than in the past. 1.1) Autistic people have bad social skills. 2) The increase of ... |

| For many years, Burzum was my main special interest. The neighbours absorbed the entire Burzum discography by osmosis, I think. Anyway, then he got out of jail and the music was a bit rubbish and, in any case, the special interest eventually wained. Not a fan of the video; he has used a condition as... |

If you haven't enabled Find My Device, you can't track it.
If you suspect it stolen, change all passwords, especially Apple ID, and notify law enforcement. |

| There are forms of socialism that go beyond social democracy, but don't involve rigid interpretations of 20th century Marxist dogma. I notice that Americans only care about arguing in absolute binaries though, acting as though there are only 2 options. Can you give me some examples? Not American, b... |

| I will preamble this by saying I am not interested in either an official or self-diagnosis (I point this out as maybe it biases my view somewhat). I know that I display a significant number of symptoms, and therefore I hang around places like this, and read some books about such subjects, because it... |
