Hello everyone from Sweden! You may get annoyed with us Americans, so do I. But I have a lot of ancestry from Sweden and I'm very interested to meet some of you and learn more about Sweden in general. Music, food, pop culture, slang. All of it.
I play video games (of course) and love space and science. I'd love to make a discord and get to know some of you, maybe play some games on steam as well.
Since this is reddit, you may already be exposed to much American media and culture, but I can offer to teach you anything you'd like about America or explain any current events over here as well.
Nice to meet all of you in advance, adjö!

jr4jzaoDon't mind that asshole. Most swedes love sharing their culture with anyone and everyone, and we certainly enjoy alot of american culture ourselves.
Never a bad idea to try and make friends across national borders. Our countries have alot of things in common, and some things not so much. How's your day been so far man?

jr4kda0Not bad! Thanks for asking. I live in St. Louis Missouri. Middle of America. And lately we've gotten some very bad storms. Flooded my yard a little.
That's what I'm interested in. Things we have in common and things we don't. From politics to cartoons we watched as kids.
I could Google all day about Sweden, but I find it better to meet some and add them on discord and just share things. I've met a couple Russians, Ukrainians, Koreans and Italians doing such. But I have actual ancestry from Sweden (although they left in roughly 1780) but hell, I have some distant relatives out there if they're still alive haha

jr51ewtHope the yard's fine! We've had alot of rain here in Gothenburg as well, but nothing majorly flooded as far as I know. There's one of the interesting differences by the way: extreme weathers. We don't see any of that in sweden, nor earthquakes, or mountain lions, or venomous snakes. For most of us here, the notion of being in any sort of danger from nature itself feels pretty alien. Sure, moose are kinda dangerous, but its very rare that you encounter them close up.
How's St. Louis otherwise? I must admit to not knowing much about it, or Missouri.

jr58qwlI'd say except for the winter itself that is. Shits cold dark and long, and you don't even have to go outside for it to get you.

jr577b0St.louis is crime filled and dirty.
But it has the best food from many cultures in a city. Good sports. Many different people. And more crime and murder.
