At the absolute peak in norrbotten, maybe 5-10% of people were wearing masks in stores. Recently, you see maybe a handful of masks if you're lucky.

Wow, really? The only instant fail I heard about in Norway is if you fail to yield to someone on the right side, or to a pedestrian, but I get that because someone could actually die if you don't do it.

Also, shouldn't you signal first? At least make the possibility of you switching lanes visible to others is what I thought.

Sound exaggerated to me tbh. I don't recall my examiner being particularly strict when I did my practical exam.

What's important to understand is that consumer loans are predatory. They're all about ease of access, portrayal of no consequences and sales/marketing pressure to consume rather than wait. Whether it be trips, an expensive fridge, a soffa or outright the casino it's the same baseline pitch to the lizard part of your brain designed to get around your warning mechanisms.

Losers don't sit at home when their friends fly to Ibiza, here's 5000€ at the click of a button. Enjoy yourself champ, you've earned it. Everyone does it, why shouldn't you.

I still struggle to understand the lack of forethought that goes into borrowing money that you can't afford to pay back at ridiculous interest rates. Do people not understand that you have to pay it back, and that if you couldn't afford to pay for your Ibiza trip out of pocket, then you 1000% cannot afford to borrow money for it?

Yeah that is kind of an argument against joining. Call it seflish as gently caress, but we are pretty much integrated in NATO without having signed an agreement that we'll declare war on Russia in case they start loving with Turkey or Romania or something.

I just got shook down by kids knocking on my door for "påskgodis". Is this even a tradition of any sort? Do kids trick or treat during Easter? I mean I was fine offloading all the saltlakrits I got from the office to them, but I've never heard of this before.

It is. Don't ask me where it came from, but it's just as legal for anyone below the age of 13 to rob you of your candy during easter as it is during halloween.

I'm a goon so obviously I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, but the few times I did go home with a friend after school I was always offered dinner, and vice versa. And also at adult age, if I've been to a friend's/acquaintance's house for whatever reason I've usually been offered dinner if it's around dinnertime, so this whole thing is news to me.

That said who the hell wants to eat a swede's cooking. My mother thinks paprika is an exotic spice.

Can't you have large scale energy storage by building a dam and by wind and solar pumping the water back into it even as you spend it? I'm sure I'm the first one to come up with this so it's my idea btw.

You can, and I'm pretty sure this is actually the most feasible and widely used method of energy storage in the world by a significant margin as well.

Tbh if someone has lived in the country for 5 years, they should just be automatically granted citizenship. Probably after like 1 or 2 years actually.

Because exiling someone after they've lived here for several years is pretty hosed up imo.

Idk, "people who asked for citizenship" might be implied as the specific group in question. I'm just saying that if migrationsverket takes 5 years to reject someone, it's reasonable to say that it missed its chance to do so.

I hate having to call over a pimply-faced teen just to get some booze or painkillers, then again to be allowed to scan them and once more to be allowed to pay for them.

And then the scale decides that I didn't put down the correct weight of scanned items and refuses to do anything before – yet again – I have to call for "help".

I'm an old school lefty from way back. I agree with V, the left-wing party, in principle, but how do we get there? They're not serious. I want every thing V wants but how do we get there? I think we have to consider voting for parties that win and get things done. The Social Democrats have done a lot. Who else can you vote for? Don't take this the wrong way, but you are a naive fool if you vote for Vansterpartiet.

V is never going to actually end up in charge, but more votes for V might mean that S realizes that they have to move to the left for once.
