Ack, I hope Lange Grete makes it. e: Great snipe. I have always had a pretty strong general health, but covid was absolutely awful for me. First couple of days was like a mild cold and on the fourth day I honestly thought I was one of the lucky ones who barely felt it and that I was no longer sick. Fifth day I started having a fever which lasted for a full loving week along with a pretty much constant migraine. Constant fever, constant migraine for a week is no fun at all. Coughing started half way though that week, and lasted more than another full week. It was coughing more or less constantly, like every 10 minutes, day and night and accompanied by a very painful sore throat and a completely stuffed nose. The rawness of the sore throat made it so I barely slept several days in a row because I would wake myself up with the pain of swallowing saliva every time I manged to doze off. Argh! Meanwhile, my friend who has always been really frail of health, getting colds left right and center, always fighting some stomach bug, infection, or some thing, had a sore throat for 3 days with covid and that was it. I'm wondering if I was among the last to get delta or something. Revelation 2-13 fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Feb 9, 2022 |

Long Grethe, long COVID. On the other hand, if she did croak maybe we could charge those responsible for the insane policy with treason. SplitSoul fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Feb 9, 2022 |

Lol I had symptoms that matches covid from this morning (basically a bad cold) and was surprised to see that the health service homepage (1177) not merely no longer recommend me to take a covid test - I'm not ALLOWED to take one! Since the 9th you can't order on their website, you can't book a test at a clinic, you're simply left with a happy note that says "If you feel sick - stay at home". Covid is, indeed, over. And I might just have gotten it the day it was. But I'll never know since I'm not allowed to test myself.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/ekonomi/jatteras-i-ericsson-aktien-efter-misstankar-om-is-mutaquote:Svenska telekombolaget Ericssons aktie rasade kraftigt under onsdagen. Under en period på onsdagen var över 40 miljarder av Ericssons börsvärde borta. Aktiekursen stängde på minus 14,4 procent. Amazing, just amazing.

Too big to fail is a hell of a drug. E: I think I've heard that it's frowned upon to fund terrorism. What a shame that this was a huge company doing the funding and not individuals. I guess there is nothing to be done. I hate this. Potrzebie fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Did no one tell Ericsson you're supposed to route the terrorism funding through the Swedish Government, U.S. Government, Saudi Government, various NGOs, and various intelligence agencies and their organized crime connections.

Now would probably be a good time to invest if you're the cynical type who doesn't care about ISIL bribes, since 14,4% seems like an overreaction, and it's probably going to bounce back. Of course this requires some amount of cynicism and lack of scruples, and I said the same thing about Danske Bank, and uh... Please don't trust a socialist to be a markets and investment expert

For international viewers, Bulletin was an... ambitious attempt to create a prestigious Swedish right-wing news site. It recruited a bunch of big conservative/liberal names and them promptly imploded in front of a jeering twittersphere. Greatest hits include (non-journalist) board members trying to tell journalists how journalism works, hiring an East Coast liberal as editor in chief in an apparent attempt to seem respectable, and hiring a convicted triple murderer as an HR resource. Tino Sanandaji who headed up the project is still Baghdad Bob-ing it and claims that they will appeal the bankruptcy

I forget, did Hanif Bali manage to slither away from Bulletin before this or is he still associated with them? If so, I wonder how he will internalise this with his “can’t fail only be failed” self-image.

I figured East Coast liberal referred to the Swedish East Coast, not the American one. Having an editor who can't read the articles seems like the dumbest thing.

Yeah it was hilarious, as superficially "woke" as an american editor could be. Utterly baffling, like has he looked up anything at all? Wasnt it Telia who besides bribery supplied telecom services that was directly used for persecuting dissidents in some of the central asian dictatorships? Media and general society seem to forget that fast, chinese spy controversies by tiktok or huawei even seems to hold a longer memoery here.
