traditional Norwegian breakfast that's heavy on bread doesn't really work great for me, even if the bread is high in fibre.
i think i'm going to focus on getting more protein, like a chicken leg. sits in your stomach for longer. i like carbs too much to drop them though.
America:
- bulk surveilling citizens
- largest prison population in the world
- puts you in debt if you're sick
- doesn't pay its workers adequately
- likes to bomb brown people
- manipulates voting districts for political advantage
Scandinavia:
- taxes you a bit much

and i suspect he engages with the US right because they gave him a platform, not because he shares all their beliefs. he's the opposite of dogmatic.
i mean, if he's a "controversial right-wing figure" then i'm a controversial right-wing figure too, and i don't believe i am.
a lot of the stuff Jordan Peterson says is in agreement with conclusions i had already reached independently. i had not paid much attention to him until i came across a video of his today.
the Internet calls him a right-winger, but the vast majority of what he says is either academic consensus or logically deduced from that consensus. he does profess a belief in God, which would make him popular with the US right, but it's not *that* kind of belief.

hotel bar is comfy - music isn't as loud and there is good seating
my brain just invented the term "homeless sexuals" as a mishearing and i don't know what it means but it sounds funny
