If you’re in Sthlm area and can work from home: please for the love of God do so.

Lol, my workplace had a planned power outage over the weekend so I had to go in this morning to boot up my remote computers, because that still has to be done in person for some reason.

Train drivers are about to go on an "illegal" strike, the kind that their union is actively against, because the union is too busy licking the boots and asking for more.

I've been hearing about this shitshow second hand from my brother who's a train driver for SJ but still has friends working for pendeln, and this is completely unsurprising, wish them all the best with the strike.

If you call yourself an expat, you don't deserve friends. But also, how does this compare to difficulty of locals making friends?

Making friends with swedes is pretty easy, you either : go to school with them for a decade, work with them for a decade, do the same hobby together for a decade, or be some kind of freak that just starts talking to people when you are waiting in line or something.

If a stranger talks to me in public, I'm not gonna be their friend, I'm gonna look at them like they're an alien before getting my phone out pretending I just got a text or something.

Yeah, that why I called them freaks. Presumably that's how they find their fellows who also like to talk to strangers, but it works well enough for some people.

It's getting rough in Sweden now it seems. Most dangerous situation since 1945 according to the police.

Do the swedes ITT notice it?

We have nazis in power, so most dangerous since 1945 seems correct.

I thought we already had an age limit on pornography, it tops out at 15 like all other movies.

No buying porn on Sundays, you'll have to fill up your porn cooler during the week.

That is loving dumb. But I keep wondering what should be done about the rise in both the amount and brutality of crime in Sweden and Norway? And the fact that the perpetrators keep getting younger?

Well according to https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/y6Aam2/irena-pozar-hyckleri-nar-manniskor-dor-pa-jobbet , the amount of people killed by gangs is the same as people dying at work. So maybe we should have the police focus on secretly listening in on employers and stop suspected ones from being in public places, without evidence. I fully support a stop and frisk program for suspected company owners.

There's not even any evidence the guy was Danish. Seems much more likely that he was painted as a Dane because Dirk Pitt has been convinced by Swedish propaganda that anyone saying racist stuff is actually a Dane.

Swedes sadly don't need secret racism buddies, back when I worked as a tram conductor in Stockholm I had people just casually walk up to me expecting me to agree with them being racist towards my coworkers.
