A Buttery Pastry posted:Media aside, majority populations probably also just overestimate minority numbers in their daily life, filtering out the assorted other majority people as background features while taking note of "the other". IIRC, someone did a study in the US where white people thought 10% racial minorities in an area was nicely balanced, while 30% was oppressively diverse - and I doubt we in Europe, despite a different racial history, are better on that front. In general there is myriad research about how people are awful at estimating the makeup of groups and populations.

Grinding my owns beans I can't find anything for less than 50 kr per 500 grams. I checked online if I could order like a 50 kg sack of beans so I'd be set for a few months but coffee beans cost even more online than at the store.

Wild Horses posted:yeah but how can it be MORE EXPENSIVE to buy large amounts (very large amounts) of coffee at the same time, every week, every month? It's a scam that companies for some weird reason always fall for. Maybe it's laziness? There's a Office Depot shop in town that mainly caters to companies, which means that everything they sell is extremely overpriced. As in 10 SEK for an eraser and 50 SEK for a box of ginger bread cookies around Christmas, when you can get the same for 15 in any food store in town. It should not exist, but it does. It's the same at my office. They're paying 3 or 4 times as much for everything compared to a supermarket, be it soap or fruit, just to have it delivered. It's insane, but somehow it's a common thing. E: another company scam - fruit baskets. Sell them to offices at a flat rate all across the year. Then just cram it full of the fruit that is the cheapest currently. That's why we end up with mostly oranges and apples most of the time in ours. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Oct 6, 2019 |

My mom was a teacher and one time she needed a few packs of flour for a class so she went and bought them at the store, and she got a lot of poo poo for doing that instead of going through the proper channels, where it incidentally would also have cost twenty times as much.

Bad EU regulation combined with bad neoliberal regulation on overdrive. To give the short version: Intent: To insure that a breath of actors can compete for public contracts and that politicians don't play favorites. Ostensibly anti-corruption, pro-EU and a good thing. Reality: A nightmare mess full of favouring bad monopolies, stifling of public flexibility, really bad contracts, very costly contract procedures, costly contract enforcement and alarming amounts of corruption.

S undergoing a full transformation into secular nationalists does seem to have undercut DF's support base; some of the same effect can be seen with Senterpartiet in norway. the issue is that we on the left aren't super keen on secular nationalists because they're still national chauvinists who, contrary to what they say, have no real objection to untold deaths at the border so long as they can wash their hands somehow

There is also the cost of purchasing something as an organization to consider. An expense report needs to be made, that has to get approved &c. And the time to do this costs money. If something needs to be payed by invoice it might be a new supplier and that needs to be registered. Don't underestimate the cost, complexities, and inefficiencies of corporate bureaucracy!

V. Illych L. posted:S undergoing a full transformation into secular nationalists does seem to have undercut DF's support base They did that way before DF swelled to its largest size yet. I think it's more to do with the refusal to enter into government, the EU funds fraud and more fanatical parties running. Tesfaye is the perfect hollow shell to present this, though. Since the '00s he has been with DKP (M/L), EL and SF. Plus it's not racist if he's part African, obviously. That's the leader of Nye Borgerlige thanking him in the comments.

Any positive message that could be taken from the erosion of DF was immediately undercut by MF declaring that S had siphoned the voters into their fold and now are obliged to enact nationalist policies because their mandate comes from DF voters. It sure was a special feeling to watch her parliament opening speech and be told that I should get the gently caress out of her country. I don't think any of her predecessors ever said anything that direct on their first day.

Welp. They've quietly closed down the closest arbetsförmedling to me and smugly direct people towards other municipalities. Doubling the time to commute and increasing the fare price by three or four times depending on which town I "chose" lol. Oh and I received a letter from them asking if I wanted to remain (gotta grab all the chances to improve the statistics) with a short time to reply. No idea if the response letter made it there in time, depends on the post. But at least they weren't as slow as socialsekreterare who takes two weeks from posting to arriving despite having their office about 10km away from where I live. It was so fun to receive a letter with a meeting time three days prior and my response e-mail being autoreplied with "I'm on vacation for four weeks lol". gently caress everything.

Sidenote: Tesfayes dad had almost definitely been sent home to prison/violence/death if the rules his son is currently spokesperson for had been in effect back then. It’s like the biggest FYGM since Corydon. What a shitbag.

Thankfully my local arbetsförmedling has remained open and still has the same one(!) arbetsförmedlare they have had for like 10 years. Chillest guy ever. The times I had to use him we met once every 6 months or so and in between that I just emailed in what I had been done on a monthly basis. He emphasized that I should just fill in a bunch of crap like "called X and checked if they needed people" and if I could put in 5-10 of those lines per month on my report then everything was cool.
