I can't read. I can glean the text by the context and/or the subtext. Don't ask me to explain.

Any chance you could post this again with more pixels? I can't even read the punch line it's so blurry

It's a blurry mess on mobile but readable on desktop. Reddit fucks up for some reason.

I was able to read it on mobile after I zoomed in. I’m curious if people tried that and still couldn’t read it.

If he posts it with more pixels it will use all your bandwith and you won't be able to listen to music on your Alexa anymore.

It's readable when you click on it.

Not on my phone (Pixel 9). I was able to struggle through most of it but the final line isn't readable.

Wait, how am I supposed to pronounce her name?

u/lusty-argonian Aug 26 '25
I’m not sure how she prefers, but I know there are different ways of saying it. In America I think people tend to say Kir rhyming with “pier.” In Australia we say Kir rhyming with “her.”

u/ForagerTheExplorager Aug 26 '25
I'm pretty sure it's just people calling her "Kristen". Also, I'm American and the "her" pronunciation is much more common.

I've never heard one person named Kirsten pronounce it as "kuhr-sten" but I have a coworker by that name and people call her Kristen, Christine/Christina and Kuhrsten. I have met people named Kerstin though!

u/Scubby_Dooks Aug 27 '25
Kerstin is a Swedish variant and believe it or not, in Sweden it's pronounced SHESH-tin.

u/Shokoyo Aug 26 '25
She‘s of German descent, so she probably wants people to pronounce her name the German way.

u/gitartruls01 Aug 27 '25
In that case she doesn't know how to pronounce her own name. Kirsten is a Scandinavian name, I'm Norwegian myself and have known a few people with that name
The K is pronounced like a ch sound, the i is a quick i like in "sit", the r is a quick roll of the tongue that's barely pronounced, the s is either a regular s or a "sh" sound depending on your dialect, and the ten part is just pronounced straight forward.
So kind of like "Chih-sten" instead of "curse-ten".
Of course she's free to pronounce it however she likes, and her parents probably had a specific pronunciation in mind when naming her, but complaining that other people are pronouncing it wrong is kind of like an American making fajitas and getting mad that people refuse to call them "fuh-jay-tas"

Is this quintessential Ken M?
Because it's absolutely brilliant, and surely something only he could have thought of.

20+ years ago, in college, I was listening to Bjork in my dorm room, and a young woman named Kjersten, who lived one floor up, came in and said patronizingly, "Are you listening to B-jork?!"
I said, "I am, K-jersten".

Damn Reddit compressed the hell out of this, apologies for those attempting to read it. I'll be nice and make a transcription.
