Asked them if they knew of any way to pay back my student loans in the States, what with having a counter in Manhattan and all. They told me the transfers were for businesses only and I kept thinking “what loving businesses are using Swedbank for anything in the US?”.

Companies that does business in the US?
Given that the Swedish located company I work in gets like 50%+ of its business from US, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a Swedbank account there.
For international businesses having accounts for USD, pound, yen and Euro is standard.

I would figure they’d use a bank a bit more known than Swedbank, outside of Swedish companies perhaps. Then again, Citibank has a counter in Stockholm.

Meanwhile, loving 'Detector' of all things, is working overtime trying to prove that Denmark really isn't as anti-Muslim as the Al Jazeera journalist claimed, but inadvertently confirmed pretty much everything she said.

Denmark is so bad. It's just so unbelievably racist and bigoted, while being completely convinced that it's not - that it's just normal 'stram udlændingepolitik', rather than some the most horrifying immigration/asylum/refugee policies in the world. The normalization of Danish people's party rhetoric and attitudes really is astounding, only thing more astounding is it way the rhetoric made it into policy, being supported rather than challenged by 80 of the political parties. I can only imagine what the normalization of the newer, even more extreme, rhetoric will look like I'm 10-20 years. It definitely feeds directly into radicalization and the eventually self-fulfilling prophecy that entails.

We're simply a way too naïve people, we trust authority too much, which makes us tragically easy to manipulate, if you're just brazen enough and can find the right scapegoat.

Partly because our left-wing has been getting a little too comfortable and complacent, took too long to wake up, and haven't been particularly good about resisting an insidious slide to the right, we now have even harder right-wing nationalist parties running in the next elections, and the loving spineless social democrats are sliding further and further right, dragging the political spectrum with them.

And the classical liberal and conservative parties, who claim to care about "decency and order and justice" and personal responsibility and all that, just gleefully jump in and join the racist quagmire with both feet, showing only the weakest possible token half-hearted opposition from a handful of members, who can easily be ignore by the rest of the party.

Even the goddamn libertarians, who claim to be against regulations and for personal freedom in the extreme (but everyone knows they're just Big Business in disguise), have no qualms about tightening laws regarding immigrants or minorities, as long as they can get their loving tax breaks.

And basically everyone aside from one or two left-wing parties are basically either in "climate change isn't THAT bad, guys" or the "TURBOFUCK THE WHALES!" mode.

It's literally everyone in parliament. Even SF voted for Ghettopakken and despite being opposed to the politics, EL are still busy paying lip service to the idea of "Danishness" and trying to redefine and sanitize it, like they're more afraid of being associated with racism than its consequences. (I have to give Dragsted some credit, but his comment wouldn't have made a blip if Kjærsgaard hadn't gone full despot. The motherfucker he accused of racism has a conviction for it and literally thinks colonialism was a boon for Africans.) And yet the most common complaint from people otherwise sympathetic to EL seems to be their term limits and democratic structure. It boggles the mind.

I wish that word would just die already. "We've lost our decency!" "Bring decency back to politics!" How about stop making moral appeals to people who're no poo poo down with torturing traumatised children and confiscating people's jewelry like nazis. It's not "indecent", it's loving inhuman and monstrous. Even the PTSD-stricken veteran in the clip has to moderate his language, torturing children is just "sort of naughty" apparently.

That sound some of you might have heard last night was me laughing like a hyena for a solid ten minutes about this particular gem. At this point, I'm actually looking forward to who the next FrP fuckup in the position will be, and how they will inevitably cock things up and be forced to resign. If we could just keep rotating the post like this, they won't have anyone left by the time the next national election hits.

I'm super sad about it too, but what I don't understand is why can't they have a small location in Copenhagen for the politicians to be in, which is hooked up to the main studio with an MPLS ISDN connection?
Anyone listening on the radio wouldn't be able to tell the difference between someone coming in on digital connection over an ISDN line and someone in the studio.

Nope, they haven't give me any info at all. Not sure if they will bother. I hope that if they remember me they will at least point me towards which town I'm supposed to commute to.

So LA elected that guy who was just thrown out of LAU for covering up sexual assault to their executive committee. Also elected was that other guy from LAU who believes all women want to be dominated and therefore can't lead. That's in addition to their sitting ministers who believe educated women don't get raped and that Pinochet was a cool guy (his regime trained and used dogs for raping dissidents).

Starting to think maybe LA has a problem with rape.
