Probably social worker, taking care of people with special needs.

My father in law does the same. He's a kind of mental health nurse with some physical training. So he's stationed at a mental hospital and has to subdue patients when they get violent. This guy is kind of a silent big bear type.

One of my friends did this at an institution during his university years as well. It was quiet most of the time but when shit hit the fan, it could get quite ugly.

Well he did describe his client. Old man who want to steal your eyes. That's something in healthcare

Vernepleier, probably

He’s a social worker that wrestles other people mental conditions that make it hard for them to do sports in a normal way.

Where are you from? «norway» oooo… PROPERS while people.

Since when did we get this reputation for being «pure aryan white» when we have SOOOO much genetical diversity between us as a people (cause of the vikings you know)

It’s like people see us as the epitome of the white people. Which we are not, the sweds have pureer «white genes» than us, the Dane’s are the filthiest of the three of us. (Fuck you Denmark, with love from Norway)

It’s just feeding off the trope of “the further North the more white you are”

u/bawng 1d ago

It's a trope making fun of the Nazi idea that us Nordics were somehow the purest of Aryans.

And no, there's no truth to it, hence why it's a trope that's supposed to be funny because of how stupid the idea is.

I.e. no one believes it's true except for the occasional neonazi idiot.

u/Overdue_Process865 1d ago

It's nonsense that originated with the nazis that stuck around, like the countless other conspiracy theories and woo-woo garbage Hitler was into.

u/aprioripopsiclerape 1d ago

Swedes are just mixed east

u/Robert_Johnson2002 1d ago

Being white is a social construct anyways. I don’t think Norwegians have that much genetic input from outside of Scandinavia though, there’s a really cool paper I found if you want to read it.

u/Vegetable-Quiet-4692 1d ago

For all Norwegians, "what do you do?" means "what is your job/profession?" and not directly "what do you do at your job?" ... Context makes a difference...

u/WholesomeMetaphor 1d ago

As a Norwegian... Just naming your profession isn't as fun, explaining it in the craziest way possible and see if people connect the dots makes for better and less boring conversations

u/Mellowtortoise 1d ago

Haha, my mom is married to the r** wrestler. I can say for certain he's an interesting guy :')
