That's why I had to ask, in Sweden "kilo" is without exception short for kilogram.

[Arx]

Huh. I guess I'll chalk up another piece of slang to translate out of online then!

[scriver]

Or you could do like I would and insist it's everybody else who have to change theirs

[Rolan7]

Weird, in 'Merica we understand kilo to be some edgelord with a lightsaber.  Congrats on your 1.2 mile run though!

*grumpy muttering* You Americans with your silly Imperial system... *keeps grumpily muttering*

[scriver]

In Sweden a 2 km run is a 0.2 mile run

In Sweden a 2 km run is a 0.2 mile run

In Russia, two American miles is ~3,218 kilometers.

The Swedish mil is 10.688 kilometers, or roughly 6.641 Imperial miles. Sweden officially uses the SI, so the mil is mostly obsolete, but still sees some colloquial use.

[hector13]

a mil is 1/1000 of an inch though

[scriver]

The Swedish mile is not obsolete by any means, it's the main measurements of anything longer than 20 km

Found a place near my room that sells absolutely massive döner kebabs for like 10 CHF.

Once I leave in a week, I will probably never have one again.

I have to drive to the city (60 minutes drive) with my son to pick up my wife's uncle.

I've been speculating for a long time that I'm not introverted. There's something of a theory that I heard about how there are 'introverted' people that get their energy from being alone, and extroverted people that get their energy from being around others. It's a very oversimplified view of psychology, IMO, but I also think that humans give themselves too much credit as far as sentience goes, so maybe it's closer than I want to admit.

The idea being, that maybe my natural, neurological state was predestined at birth to be inclined towards extroversion... but due to the circumstance of always being alone and isolated growing up, and even being very alone in adulthood, I just assumed I'm an introvert, when in reality that's killing me psychologically. Though that is something that makes me very afraid, as I don't have the internalized model of behavior of an extroverted person. It's a style of behavior that seems really alien to me. I just guess it's something to think about, that I was never meant to be such a person so trapped in their own thoughts all the time, but a person who is very social and lives in reaction to life as opposed to trying to anticipate it. I'm not sure where I'd start, I'm hopelessly naive and certain to make a fool of myself as I try to play the part making it up rather than it being the natural product of my real feelings, but I guess I need to start somewhere.

[hector13]

Yes you do need to start somewhere. Practice makes perfect and all that.

Also, lacking in that perfection means making mistakes. These are not bad things to happen, and provide opportunities to learn.

The rest of it is nonsense. You’re human, a social creature, thus you require social contact. This is true of introverts and extroverts. Even then, it’s a scale; sometimes you’ll feel more inclined toward sociability than others.

There’s someone on the forum who thinks the whole extrovert/introvert thing is nonsense (RedKing maybe? For some reason i think the person is German, so maybe not...) so yeah. Do you, basically. If you want to talk to people, there’s literally a whole world of them out there :p

I've come to see myself more and more as an extrovert stoped in the shape of an introvert as I've grown older and other people's presence was not ad much of a granted as it was when I was younger.
