I tried to send a text to a person involved with arbetsförmedlingen this morning but the person had given the AF telephone exchange number in the important papers I had so it rejected my text back to me. Instead I decided to send an e-mail when I got home (removed the name):quote:Meddelandet levererades inte  Is this their server failing, me typing something wrong (double checked so it should be correct) or something weird with my gmail? Considering I could mail my sister just fine yesterday...

A Buttery Pastry posted:I wonder what the most effective way to do that would be. Don't they kinda need to be on the job to ensure that people can get signed up for various poo poo? That's all handled by Ydelsesservice. The job has more or less been reduced to box-checking, handing out a form and pointing people to whatever private contractor is making bank off the municipality. These meetings typically take less than 10 minutes and so do the quarterly follow-ups (every other one is done over the phone). This is because, in the case of Jobcenter Lærkevej, each caseworker literally has over 220 cases. It's loving insane.

There's a classic punk song by Coca Carola that list the four types of enemies to a functioning society in Sweden. It was released in '94 but still applies to this day, something arbetsförmedlingen and försäkringskassan shows quite clearly. It was called Moderater, Byråkrater, Ekonomer & Fantomer.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/person-i-stulen-ambulans-korde-pa-flera-i-norge What's going on i Norway, seems so weird, this is like something from a video game. Stealing an ambulance seems like the silliest thing to do when you want to get away, it's like one the most easily recognizable vehicle there is by design.

Kamrat posted:https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/person-i-stulen-ambulans-korde-pa-flera-i-norge Yeah. When I first saw the headline I was wondering if this was some sort of terrorist attack, but reading it it seemed less likely and more like some sort of weird getaway (from what is hard to say), though (and probably take this with a grain of salt) they are now saying that the two suspects have connections to the far right. So essentially what happened is that there was a car crash involving a man and a woman, the woman fled the scene, the man, armed with a shotgun (also seems an Uzi was found in the crashed car) then hijacked an ambulance and attempted to get away and almost ran over a number of people. There was then a brief exchange of gunfire between the man in the ambulance and the police, after which the man, unharmed, was apprehended by the police. The woman has also been arrested. Both are described as "kjenninger av politiet" which normally means people with criminal records (they were also described explicitly as "Norwegian", which they mean to indicate that they are white). I can't really say anything with authority here, but based on my impression it does seem like most far right terrorist attacks, as opposed to hate crimes and such, aren't really committed by people with criminal records so this (until I saw the bulletin about their far right connections) kind of seemed like a point against this having been some terrorist stuff gone wrong. Difficult to say exactly what happened or what was supposed to happened, though I would think that the car crash was not planned by the two, and what happened next was just both of them panicking (maybe due to the guns they had with them and whatever it was that they might have been planning to do).

I'm glad I'm not a judge, because I'd be sorely tempted to throw a book at them. Fair enough for trying and failing (!) to get away if they don't wanna go to prison and have previous crimes on record, but putting other people in danger by driving into them (especially a woman with a baby stretcher, apparently?) plus exchange of gunfire, and the whole stealing an ambulance thing is just too over the top. Do judges in Scandinavia practice setting an example out of especially grievous crimes? I can't seem to remember any cases.

Now it seems that the police are saying that he deliberately drove the ambulance onto the sidewalk and tried to hit people. The man is being charged with attempted murder. Worst case I believe is that these two were planning to carry out some kind of attack (hence the guns), but managed to crash their car and then panicked, the man once he got the ambulance then decided to try to "make the most out of it". Another possibility is that they were going to hit and rob someplace (which seems a bit weird at this time of day, aslo what place would you try to rob at this time of day?) and then got in the car accident and panicked (also were likely not very sober).

I remember being upset when Janne was leading Debatt and talked about violent videogames. He held up a copy of Manhunt 2, said it was banned from sale and said they were going to show some of the violence. The gameplay was from Manhunt 1. I talked to his younger cohost about it when I ran into him at one time, and according to him it was about Janne letting his gut reaction getting the better of him.

And then there was the time he ambushed Peter Sunde with the father of the murdered children in the case where the prosecutor/court didn't censor/classify the pictures of dead children from the FÖP. Someone uploaded it to TPB and it wouldn't have been a thing outside of Flashback if the news hadn't made a huge thing of it.

I remember that to. When I studied Radio Journalism I discussed that case with a representative from Journalistförbundet or maybe Publicistklubben. I just found it fascinating that the story was about how people were downloading the FÖP - media writes about it - more people find out and download. Just an ouroboros of traffic caused by excluding the pictures.

So on the fifth anniversary of the exhibition for neo-nazi Dan Park's racist "art" at Christiansborg, the Speaker of Parliament decided to also let Stram Kurs use the place for their party conference. Their wish is the complete ethnic cleansing of Denmark and preferably genocide of all living Muslims on the planet. What a cool country we live in.

I was responsible for Naturmødet 2019's promotional material and marketing. We had almost every major politician, Mette Frederiksen and Lars Løkke notwithstanding, and things were looking great for the debate... Then Paludan, one day before start, suddenly said that he was coming too, even though he had fervently declined weeks in advance. So now we needed police, fences, metal detectors, visitation zones, the works. Just for a monstrous lunatic to show up, not engage in the debate, only to put up his hand twice to spew some vitriol he's clearly been reading on his phone, while everyone else was discussing the climate. It didn't even pertain to climate, it was just a string of slurs and rambling about genocide being cool and good. None of the other politicians engaged with him, he was just a spot of wh.. Ergh.. White noise. Why even show up? People were booing every second he talked, until they were told to be quiet for decorum.

He actually had a little meet-and-greet thing after the debate. Next to the two bathroom stalls. People were legitimately confused, as the three queues bunched together midway through.

(Sweden) So I've been arguing politics with a coworker because he spends all day sprouting right wing bullshit and I can't let any of it pass and looking back some of the transcripts are just  and I thought I'd post them just for the insanity.He has obviously become insanely radicalized. Possibly online or by friends. Keyword: Boomer + Finish immigrant Also note that I have long since stopped taking his statements for granted. So when he says something unsourced but questionable I respond with "probably not" or "I doubt it" as opposed to "uh huh" because "uh huh" implies I might be confirming what he says. Coworker: So the guy on the TV and they said he should pay more taxes and he said he already paid 34 million (kronor) in taxes every month but the government wants to take even more from him but he gets nothing in return for what he pays in taxes Katt:? Coworker: He put some money in Monaco and the government wants that money but he already pays 34 million in taxes every month so he already contributes more than anyone but they still want more money and I think he's right for refusing Katt: People register in Monaco to escape paying taxes Coworker: But he is paying taxes! 34 million every month. And he gets nothing back Katt: If he pays 34 million a month in personal income tax then he's easily a billionaire and can certainly afford to pay some more Coworker: But he gets nothing back! Katt: He gets a system that allows him to become and remain a billionaire. Police and politicians that defend his billions. He if anyone should pay more taxes to contribute to the system Coworker: But what about my neighbor? Katt:? Coworker: He spent all his life working and paying taxes and then when he got old and needed a place at the retirement home they wanted 10,000 kr a month but other people pay nothing! Katt: Your neighbor has a house worth 3,5 million with no loans on it and savings on top. He can certainly afford to pay. Coworker: But why should he who worked all his life have to pay when people who never worked get in for free? Katt: Because he can afford it and if he's not paying then we are. Coworker:? Katt: The other peoples spots in the retirement home are paid for by our taxes and so would his spot if he got it for free. So why should we be paying for his spot when he's sitting on 3,5 million in cash? Coworker: Because Swedish pensioners already have it worst in Europe Katt: I doubt it. Coworker: They do! It was on TV. Said Swedish pensioners have it worse than any other pensioners in all of Europe Katt: I strongly doubt that Swedish pensioners have it worse than pensioners in some of the former Soviet states and southern Europe Coworker: They do! It said Swedish pensioners feel worse than any other pensioners in Europe Katt: Feel worse? What kind of data is that? We certainly need to raise pensions but I doubt they have the worst quality of life in Europe. Coworker: It was better before. Families used to take care of the old people but now they don't Katt: Yeah they had to take care of the old people or the old people died of exposure. That doesn't mean that all the old people were taken care of. It just means that the ones not taken care of weren't around to complain Coworker: No. They were taken care of. The oldest son inherited the house and in exchange he took care of the parents in their old age Katt: House? Is property ownership the minimum barrier of entry here? You are aware that an overwhelming majority didn't own houses but were in turn poor. Coworker: They took care of the old people which people don't do today Katt: You're thinking of Emil i Lönneberga. That was not real and if it was. That family was loving rich Coworker: The old people lived with them there. Katt: It was not real. Most people couldn't afford to take care of the old people. Look at yourself. Your daughter lives on welfare with her boyfriend and a baby in a small apartment. If you and your wife needed to be taken care of and she was the only one you wouldn't stand a chance. Coworker: I'd rather die than move in with her Katt: Yeah you would die. As did any old person not taken care of in the "good old days" Coworker: It's because of the social democrats. They borrowed the money from the pensions and then never returned it and that's why the pensions are so low Katt: Probably not Coworker: They did! They took the money from the pensions so they could spend it on the immigrants Katt: The largest surge of immigrants was in 2013. By that point pensions had been declining for decades. Coworker: No they spent it on the immigrants that refuse to work and so there's nothing left for the pensioners. Katt: I doubt it Coworker: Immigrationsverket costs more money than the military plus försäkringskassan combined Katt: I doubt it Coworker: The guy on TV said it Katt: (whips out phone and googles and finds that military + försäkringskassan cost about 15 times as much as immigrationsverket) Coworker: Put down your phone Katt: I will when you stop talking poo poo Coworker: I can never talk around you without you pulling out your phone Katt: That's because you never stop talking poo poo Coworker: Anyway försäkringskassan probably pays for immigrant stuff too Katt: Of course it does Coworker: So I was right Katt: Not even close. Have you considered that maybe we should tax the rich a bit extra and then use that to increase pensions? Coworker: We should! They barely pay taxes. I saw on TV that corporations only pay 5 öre in taxes on electricity per kwh while regular people pay 45 öre Katt: Yeah so maybe we should charge them some extra taxes and we can use that money to increase pensions. Coworker: Yes! Katt: Like that guy hiding his money in Monaco Coworker: No! he already pays more than anyone. Why should he have to pay more to support the immigrants. Katt: The immigrants are not your enemy. The rich people are. Coworker: They worked hard for their money Katt: No they didn't. Look at our boss. He sleeps to 9 every work day and maybe shows up to work twice a week if at all. He's the laziest person I've ever met. And he takes our money on top Coworker: He doesn't take our money Katt: Yes he does. How do you think he pays for his two houses or his 5 cars when he works maybe 5 hours a week. He pays for it with the surplus on our work Coworker: He finds the jobs Katt: Yeah but he doesn't create the jobs. People still need their houses painted and those houses would still get painted even without bosses to find the jobs Coworker: So he deserves a share for finding them Katt: Yeah like maybe 5%. Not the 70% or 80% he takes now Coworker: If he didn't find the jobs we wouldn't be able to do them Katt: We would. Do you think people are just going to let their houses fall apart when there's laborers to do the work if there were no bosses to find the jobs? Coworker: He still workers harder than the immigrants Katt: He doesn't. Being a new immigrant in Sweden is hell. Coworker: They get free houses and get to have 4 wives and get welfare for each wife Katt: That's not true Coworker: It is. I saw it on Kalla Fakta or uppdrag granskning Katt: I doubt it And this is just 30 minutes. We've been arguing like this for 2 years. Other topics include the environment. Greta Thunberg. But mainly immigration.
