    They aren’t pointless. You are like a friend that we will, likely, never meet. So, these blogs serve as an update that you are well and let us get to know you a little better. Congratulations on finishing your classes for this term. I just started my masters program in business. I hope to have my MBA in early 2022.

    Okay so I can give you a few ideas for the next videos (you may or may not like them but I think it's what I would like to see):
    -How young icelanders normally live. Like.. if they move to flats alone or share flats or if they struggle economically as it happens in many countries and have to stay with their parents until they are older, etc.
    -Related to the previous point: housing in Iceland! I've heard that in the past few years it's being quite expensive even for icelanders.
    -Related to the 2 previous points: what are the typical icelandic houses like.
    -All the job industry in Iceland, most and least demanded jobs etc.
    Aaaand Idk, this is what suddenly came into my mind just now. Thank you for your videos!

      ​@@karlosthejackel69 calling someone a "simp" doesn't reflect well on you. It shows low intelligence and a conformity to the mob mentality. We're all people behind screens, and calling someone "simp" spreads hate. Why call someone "simp" when you can spread love and encouragement? It doesn't matter that one person got them interested in a language or culture, that doesn't make them a "simp." We don't even know their gender. Instead of conforming to the mob mentality, why don't we encourage Andrei to continue learning Icelandic? It's incredibly unique that they have the motivation to learn such a beautiful and not so well known language. Keep working on it Andrei, I'm sure you will find many uses for the language in the future, near or distant!

    I took 6 months off the gym, my body bounced right back. A few weeks of being sore and pain, then a few weeks of pushing through the workouts, then I was back to normal but I did no lifting for the 6 months. You will bounce back quick. I found out what muscle memory was and how quick and easy it builds back.

    And maybe some Jojobaoil will help with your eczema? I have oily skin and the oil I use does not enhance that at all but helps to keep the dry patches somwhat "moist". I also like to use "wound ointment" for irritated skin. Sorry if you don't want advice on that!

    I’m trans and I also still enjoy Harry Potter because I too am able to separate the work from the author. Many people who did good things in history also did questionable things in other aspects of their lives, but usually it’s their positive legacy that remains. And it’s good for you as a writer to revisit some of the most impactful recent literature. Happy reading! Love your videos and hope to visit Iceland soon.

Its the same gym as Victor blud goes to, he is a Russian TH-cam star and old russian circus strongman feats of strength. There are no English subtitles so there is that, but fitness is universal and easily translatable. Kettle tricks are some of my favorite strongman feats like balancing 3 on one arm and throwing them in the air between legs

    I hope you don't take offense at this question, but do you celebrate Christmas simply because it's so much fun (It IS!!), or do you also celebrate it out of religious devotion. I do for both reasons, but I've been told that much of Europe has largely abandoned Christianity as a personal belief and devotion. I was a little too old to join into the Harry Potter mania among the young when the books first came out, but it was so good to see kids happily reading and immersed in that other world.
