According to my grapevine, pusher street has kind of gone to poo poo and no one is that sad to see it go, but also it is insane that we haven't just legalized it.

Who could have foreseen this when they started cracking down heavily about 15 years ago, ensuring only the most hardened criminal elements would risk it going forward, or that this would inevitably result in these elements clashing violently. loving Germany of all places is pushing decriminalization now. Who's keeping our politicians on such a tight leash?

Nice piece of fish posted:It is loving fascinating, but at this point I want this entire dumpster fire to just burn baby. I want to see Støre himself convicted for insider trading. støre's had a big spotlight shone on his investments before and those were being dealt with in a perfectly scrupulous manner then: he had most of it invested in funds with at least nominal ethics rules - the "scandal" was that these funds again were invested in stuff like private kindergarten companies. still, with the apparent enormous brain bleed among the nation's highest political elites, i wouldn't be *too* shocked if he'd somehow decided to just do a little bit of active speculation in aluminium futures or something

It is fascinating to see commentators rushing to take Huitfeldt's explanation at face value. "My husband earns half a million a year trading stocks, but this has actually never come up."

"My husband earns half a million a year trading stocks, but this has actually never come up." it's rank nonsense and it's honestly astounding that anyone could even begin to think that this is less serious than the brenna affair for those following from abroad, the minister of education lobbied for a friend of hers to get a position, then decided that this was improper use of her public office and asked for an evaluation. to me it seems like the sort of thing which really could be a genuine lapse of judgement, which we honestly have to tolerate from time to time. this is a guy beating the market off the vibe at the dinner table at best, and almost certainly a paper-thin veneer of plasuible deniability around insider trading as bad as ola borten moe's stupidity

How the cops would know that without knowing specifically who it was beats me. It reminds me of being assaulted at the train station a few years ago and the police asking me “did he look Bulgarian?” I get that it was a clearly leading question but Christ dude, how does anyone expect me to know that? Next time someone lunges for my body in an elevator unexpectedly, I’ll be sure to ask where they’re from. For the record: white dude with a tan, spoke slurred Swedish.

Avhopp och sjukskrivning när högerradikal aktivist gör “content” av universitetskurs - DN quote:I somras ansökte Tobias Hübinette om kontaktförbud gentemot Christian Peterson. I över ett års tid hade Peterson då, enligt Hübinette, bombarderat honom med sms och telefonsamtal. I cannot imagine having enough downtime in my life to dedicate to harassing a university professor, let alone in such loudly unhinged way.

Fun fact for those who might be interested in the future? Local politics is kind of like posting on the forums, except you do it in the local newspaper and you can't straight up call someone a motherfucker, you have to be subtle with the insults. And you may have to pester the mods to let you post. ![]() God knows how things will end up, and it's been goddamn stressful, but I've actually enjoyed myself, too.

I was allowed to vote in Norway for the first time in the local elections and every party had like 50 candidates listed on their cards. And space to write in more. I don't really understand the local election system and have not looked it up, but that seems like too many to me.

Also I know it's a local election so their powers are somewhat limited, but every party's statement was "we are going to make schools better and improve healthcare for retired people". I don't have kids and am decades from retirement so there didn't really seem to be much in it for me regardless of won.
