Hi, I made a post about how I have a chance to study for a semester in Budapest, Hungary and it sounds really cool, but there is one other option and thought I'd ask just so I don't dismiss it immediately: Reykjavík, Iceland. I also know next to nothing about Iceland, whether it's safe for students, if it's welcoming, if it's a good place for an American to study at, so might as well ask about it as well. It also sounds fascinating admittedly

Nope, no joke. It was one of those dreams I never realized. Iceland has a lot of geothermal power plants and volcanic activity. I always wanted to live there and work at one. Also it's geologically very similar to the place I was born.

The industry thing is sad though. They're kind of economically deadlocked but had a pretty solid plan to get in to tech development. Back in 2008. Right when the Dotcom bubble crashed Nordic Tiger period ended.

    I have no idea where you're getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.

    And I think you're getting your bubbles mixed up.

    Wait you're right. It was not the Dotcom, it was the end of the Nordic Tiger period. Sorry I misspoke

    Dumb as a box of rocks. Just making shit up and getting called out everywhere you go. Typical liberal.

    I can literally only imagine the type of sexual partners some misogynistic cretin with disgusting fantasies and the social skills of an opossum living with his roommates as a grown man has had the joy of experiencing.

    Lmao.

    It's not hard if you have a mirror. I tend to always attract this rabid cock-slut types with no father. They like being hit and called slurs but don't know how to just ask for it like a normal person.

    You have never attracted anything in your entire life, trust me. You're a disgusting fool who has a bright future patronizing poor, undeserving sex workers.

    The truth is that back on the reddit days, I used to make burner accounts to drive morons like you nuts. Now I just post on main because there is nothing you can do to stop it.

    Also I am shitting on you because you so badly want to deny me the last word when in reality I'm just enjoying the process of putting you in your place. It's two different games, you're playing the unwinnable one like the dumbass you are.

    Actually, just rereading this again. Great villain-speech but this was how I knew you were a fake and don't get bothered by any of the coomie bluster. You never had to admit to this but I'm pretty tickled you did.

    Perhaps. This was Wikipedia stuff I read in like 2018. It said they had put money into a video game studio and internet companies. I can't claim to know how they've faired since.

    What else would they have been doing? Their economy is mostly tourism otherwise, right?
