  • On a huge trampoline with 10 friends when I was like 15.

    In a pile of people on a Persian carpet outside an underground nightclub.

    Inside an abandoned caravan in the middle of a forest that I was lost in.

    Inside a big tyre used as a cushion for boats on a dock. In Swedish the word for being passed out from being drunk is “däckad” and the word tyre is “däck” so I was “däckad i ett däck” - “tyred in a tyre”.




  • It’s also very much part of the 'murican narcissism culture, everyone has to be special in some way, no matter how shallow, made up or objectively irrelevant that is. I’ve known a few Americans IRL (I’m Swedish) at different periods of my life and no one else has ever come close to the level of mental gymnastics they do to feel special, cool, different etc. This really mirrors a lot of other things about the US, the classic image of early American towns with houses that have decorated facades but that’s all it is, paper-thin lies to mask both nothingness and shittyness. And man do they hate it when you try to push your finger through those shallow shields they build for themselves.
