Hey! To start this decade right, we believe Newgrounds should be ad-free for EVERYONE. For this to work, we need people who have the means to become paying supporters. For just $3 per month or $25 for the year, you can help this happen and get some nice perks!
For the month of April we have disabled ads on all E-M content. We need 92 people to reach our goal of 3,100 active supporters. If we hit that, we'll continue with a new goal in May!
Please check out our Supporter Upgrade and consider coming aboard!

It's hard not to be even after years here. :) So many awesomely creative people out there. Feels great that you never really get used to it; no matter how old it is the place never grows old.

This is one of the best websites out there.

NewGrounds always keeps me busy. There is so much to see and do. You never get the chance to get old. There is always something new to explore.

Is that how you feel? NewGrounds has always made me feel young and well connected.

Hmmm well yeah, a bit! The years just fly by when I'm here. Don't feel old per say, but so much older. Like my age doesn't match my impression of time's passage here. It flows so much faster than it feels like it does when you're having fun.

Times always flies when you are having fun. I enjoy spending several hours a day here. NewGrounds will always be my home away from home. :)

Thanks, but I was just sharing my thoughts. Really looking forward to Halloween again. It is my favorite holiday.

Hey now, gotta slow down time a bit there. :) Looking forward to that too but Christmas first and foremost, and a loooong stretch of days before the New Year after that, so much to do before those new beginnings...

Christmas has been here since November 1st. All the songs on the radio and decorations in the store. Halloween never gets as much respect. I will keep supporting it.

And yet Halloween was just a day before it... we're not quite that early over here. Usually Christmas starts for real around the end of November; we always put up decorations the first Sunday in December. Like it should be.
Then again we don't celebrate Halloween at all sooo it's all on NG.

Christmas has become an endlessly hungry holiday that keeps chewing up the calendar as it goes. No other holiday lasts for almost two months.It is just ridiculous.

What? Why don't you celebrate Halloween?

Not really no. The commercial sector keeps trying to pick up on the event for sales, but it's not a traditionally Swedish thing at all. Apart from the rare costume party we don't really do anything special that one day, no pumpkin carvings or decorations overall, nothing in school either. Technically the Swedish equivalent is All Hallow's Eve, the second of November, when everyone used to light candles to guide the dead. Not so much of that either now though.

I keep forgetting That Halloween is an American invention. It does make sense that Europe and Sweden would not celebrate it.

That really sucks. I guess Swedish people are more serious, and don't like to be silly.

Well at least you're not forgetting there's a world outside the US too. ;) Some people do!
it's amazing how widespread American culture is these days though. All over the world.

Yeah... we are kinda serious! Not in mind but: how we live.

Nope, just candles and contemplation. Serious stuff, you know. XD Though it's not that much of a tradition either these days. Most people don't do anything this time of year.

I try to embrace other nations outside of the USA. I always try to ask lots of questions about how they do stuff.

Yes, American is awesome and most people want to be like us.

You guys are all serious and stuff. You don't seem to laugh much. Maybe it all the cold weather?

Sweden needs a party day. Where you can all act silly and dance. Maybe grill outside and eat hot dogs and hamburgers. Wear a silly hat.

Was thinking more along the lines of: it really is the zenith of the commercial world, you've mastered the art of commercialism and propaganda and you're taking over. ;) But yes, you do have some good stuff too! And optimism.

The cold, the dark, the dystopian (yet cozy too) winter world... it's possible. :)

Well Midsummer is a pretty party-heavy season over here, silly hats included. XD Soon as the sun's out I guess we're really not so serious after all. Definitely a cultural stigma that sticks a bit though.

The USA has mastered big business and advertising. I guess that is the same as commercialism and propaganda. lol

Is it Winter all year round? How long is your Summer?

Well it depends on the region, generally winter lasts 3-4 months, but up North it's more like 5-6, and at the Southmost point it's never really winter. Spring and autumn each last 1-2 months, so on a good year ca 3-4 months summer.

The USA makes the entire world better a little bit at a time.

Six months of Winter would be crazy. At least, you can make snowmen and go sledding. Three months of summer is not bad at all.

Those hats do look very silly.

It's that yearly trial we all go through, and then: time to really relish the summer we get. :) Least it makes us all the more appreciative.

Yes. XD A bit too much so to wear them, IMO...

Do you really like the snow and cold? Would you rather live someplace warm?

Maybe a little to silly to wear everyday. Definitely at least one day a year.

Would definitely rather live someplace warm.

You should move to the USA. You would love it here.

I guess. It would depend on what I was drinking or otherwise doing. lol

I have actually considered it, but everything about the place seems so expensive otherwise. And no safety net if something goes wrong. That's one major comfort with this place.
And cultural differences. Stuff.Would be fun to visit though.

Haha, yeah enough of the drink and who knows how it goes.

Prices are cheap in Sweden? What type of safety net do you have?

You know it. Just make sure that you never drink before Posting on NewGrounds. lol
At 1/23/19 03:15 AM, DoctorStrongbad wrote: Prices are cheap in Sweden? What type of safety net do you have?
Well not cheap, but compared to living expenses in the US in particular I'd think so. There's a limit on how much you have to spend on medial bills, for example, before the rest is covered by grants/state. You don't really get sued here. Insurance isn't crazy expensive. School is free. University too. Things like that.
In regard to rent and regular material wealth I think it's all pretty similar.

It sounds like life is much better over there. Everything is the USA costs money. Classes, parking, College in general is one giant expense. They force you to have car insurance. Ugh

Ah parking's expensive here too, but just owning a car is expensive enough that the people who can't afford it stick to public transport. ;) Insurance is obligatory too. As is a paid yearly check-up and service every X miles. Cuts down on traffic accidents pretty well, but cars overall are a luxury over here. Still, most people have 'em. Just not as early. You don't get your first car until you have a job and all.

Indeed.
