Beeswax posted:In there interest of further dunking on Denmark I want to add that I have a Danish acquaintance with four last names, and that is too many last names. Jens-Peter Arne Søndergaard-Jensen Kofod-Thorsen is a perfectly normal name. It people suck at throwing out names when marrying. Could be that. Legally speaking, only the last one counts as the last name, the others are technically middle names and can be disregarded. The - turns two names into one though. I used to be called [lastname]-Schmidt. loving pain in the rear end to write out, and since I never used Schmidt myself, I sometimes forgot it on official forms, which is apparently bad. It cost (my mom who had the same problem) 500 kroner to change it, and it was worth every øre.

MiddleOne posted:I love having three legal first names. Well, try moving abroad and getting all your official documents in your first name, which might not be the name you call yourself. There is a reason my kids have their called name first (unless they bring it upon themselves). This based on experiences from my siblings living abroad.

I remember primary school with roll call, substitute teachers would just guess of they should use the first or second name. Just give your kids two names, one first, one last. Last-name-as-middle is acceptable if it's short (because that's what I gave mine).

Moved to Sweden when I was six and apparently I was folkbokförd with my second name as tilltalsnamn. an oversight stemming from my first and second name being in the reverse of the most common order I’m guessing. For a long time I got used to listening for my second name during roll calls/blood donations etc until I wrote to Skatteverket to change it and got fixed immediately. So now I get called out by my first name but it’s a more difficult name to pronounce, having my second name was easier.

When I was a student I worked for the student union administrating student IDs. For an embarrasingly long time I could not understand why so many medical doctors from Pakistan wanted to study some random bullshit in Stockholm, until I was clued in that among the many long names they had, most had a version of the Prophet's in there and though it was of importance.

Støre is against decriminalization. So, as previously indicated this might be it for the reform, Aps committee or however you call them, also vote against endorsing the reform, with the youth wing (AUF) and Oslo and Vestland delegations dissenting. 13 to 4. It does bear mentioning that drug abuse in Norway is sort of an interesting, IMO at least. Because while we have generally low rates of drug use in general, even stuff like cannabis, compared to almost any other European countries and contrary to sensationalist news articlers, we've had a serious problem with high rates of hard drug abuse, especially intravenous heroin (with pretty dire consequences for the number of drug overdoses), for decades now. It's a social ill that I feel often seems to disappear whenever foreigners describe or analyze our country, and that we ourselves sometimes seem to want to ignore, despite it very much being a part of our cultural consciousness and being the subject of some of the better literature and music and such that's been produced here in those past decades, it's almost like "the heroin addict" feels like an authentically Norwegian archetype. It's also a social ill that I'm not sure has been very satisfyingly explained or treated, though it does seem like modern policies are more humane and accepting that previously, you also often see attempts to "fix" a city or town's drug addict problem by just putting in the police and chasing them away from the more visible spots where they congregate, which also happens to result in property prices rising (something I ended up benefitting from personally).

Liberals love to add incomprehensible bureaucratic clauses on every legislation, so naturally Støre rejects the drug reform and claims it's not means tested enough. Only those truly, truly suffering should be allowed to benefit!

the process around the drug reform stuff has been really extremely unconvincing, to the point where i almost feel as though it's deliberate despite that not seeming to make much sense in the present context. add in some unfortunate details about transferring tasks without transferring funds and you've got a broken consensus, which in the present moment will tend to go against the urban, educated interest since there's a perception that there's more competition for those votes

Do you mean Sherin Khankan, whom he threatened with distributing "compromising" photos from their relationship? It's really incredible that he hasn't been thrown under the bus before now, but it must've been convenient timing for somebody. The fact that he's tried to get people fired has been known for years. He also pestered Bertel Haarder about defunding documentarist Manyar Parwani because of a personal spat. Dude has §77 and the word "democracy" etched in his flesh.  Edit: My personal favourite anecdote was how he blocked a man with a large beard, turban and the surname Singh for being "an islamist".

In the last two (2) weeks alone, we've gotten another 950 000 and there's another million scheduled for the coming two weeks. Then there's a further 3 million doses planned for May and 4 million for June. "At this rate", lmao.

I think I said this earlier, but the question has never been about whether or not we're getting our vaccines. The EU deals have secured an absurdly large production capacity even for the EU:s 446 million population, there's more coming than we could ever use. So it's really only a matter of how quickly we will find ourselves drowning in them. This is why all the posturing about securing new deals a month ago were utterly ridiculous.

So that's like 10% of the country fully vaccinated. Or 20% half vaccinated. TheFluff posted:In the last two (2) weeks alone, we've gotten another 950 000 and there's another million scheduled for the coming two weeks. Okay so by mid year 20% of the country will be fully vaccinated then. My initial prediction might have been optimistic.
