The reason it got so much press was that she was the minister of health when the picture was taken.

She is a piece of poo poo. Closest thing we have to a US-style Trumpian right-winger among significant persons in Norwegian politics.

Is sambo a fun homonym in Swedish too? Because in Danish it's either incredibly racist or just means roomie.

NRK/Aftenposten is filled with teenage high school drama will they/wont they crap that doesnt reveal anything.

Dagens Næringsliv or Klassekampen for dailies, Dag og Tid or, for a certain wank factor tolerance, Morgenbladet for weeklies. if you're (for some bizarre reason) interested in agriculture or norwegian christian affairs, Nationen and Vårt Land are surprisingly decent papers

I know sambo is a slur in English but I've honestly never heard it ever used in the other meaning than cohabitants in Swedish, it's not really a homonym in Swedish.

My in-laws gave my wife's late 80s copy of this book to my daughter when she was around 2,5. I hadn't seen it in more than 25 years, so I tried reading it to her. She loved it because the tigers are scary and exciting, but I felt dirty as gently caress from having subjected her to it. She will never see that book again, until she is old enough to understand how terrible it is.

I was a bit confused by sambo as well when I first got here, my mind immediately connected it with “samba” first though, and that’s likely because my fat mind associated it with a Venezuelan candy bar of the same name.

Definitely raises a few eyebrows if you don’t know that the “bo” is meant to be pronounced boo.

Literally none, one can get around and live a pretty normal life by only communicating in english. You will however always be handicapped and at a disadvantage if you don't learn swedish. You will also have a hard time picking up/understanding relevant news and you will probably both feel like, and be treated as, a tourist.

Learn even some basic phrases and she’ll be fine. Learning when immersed is way easier for the most part - I knew some Swedish before moving here officially but after doing so, it came so much quicker.

There is no language requirement YET, there might be one in the future. Come build goonkoloni

One of the DF turds were suggesting last week that evacuating 50 translators and their families would be an unacceptable "flygtningestrøm", and they should just be left in country. Marcus seems to have a similar opinion.

I enjoyed this take though

Vi tog til Afghanistan for at fjerne det styre, der tillod Osama bin Laden at træne terrorister. Det lykkedes vi med 100 procent.

It's hilarious to see the complete break from reality these ghouls are putting on display. Now Knuth is :qq:'ing that "we" spent 20 years and 40 soldiers' lives only to see the house of cards collapse. I hope some of them were his friends and he has recurrent nightmares about it, but I assume Count Fuckwit didn't see combat.

We'll probably see more "it's victory wine"-style takes like Søren Gade's soon, and probably also lots of whining that if only Biden hadn't cut and run, we could have definitely "won" Afghanistan.

My impression is that most regular people don't think about it very much, and if they do they probably know that the Danish contribution was very minor.

Some politicians like to pretend we're a major player internationally, and not just doing what we're told by the Americans. It's pretty silly when it happens.
