The article mentions “Electronic Software Association”, but that does not appear to be a thing? The logo above appears to be from “Entertainment Software Association” which is… what they mean or no?

bad behaviour, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organisations.

Is such a bad summary, and all of the people prasing this law in this comment section as well, fail to mention a very important other “bad behaviour” which is suppose to be included in this law: Being a fucking VICTIM of a crime. They have been saying this since day one. Victims of crimes needs to be deported.

Their resoning is that someone being victim of a crime is probably living in a social situation which the far-right government deem inappropriate. Like “undeclared work”; is your boss not paying their taxes for your work? You need to go.

This law is there because it is the first step in creating an apartheid. If you have a single parent born in a foreign country – the far right is even talking about their worry about “third generation” immigrants – they should not be considered Swedish. Punishments for them they say must be different, you must always be threatened with deportation. You should not have access to public services and so on.

This law is a fucking god-send for neo-nazis. Can you imagine? Immigrants who are victims of crime gets deported. Assault them, rape them, and they will be deported if they say anything. But the neo-nazi can go home and have dinner with their family. This is probably what the current government wants as one minister has an active club neo-nazi son! He is not being deported because he is in an extremist organization! Oh, wait, sorry it is just “kids with an interest in fitness”, as several government party reps have been saying about actual neo-nazis.

Hey! I’m just scrolling here. Why the deep personal attacks?

Easy, if the market bifurcates in time, you simply exist in the time before the bifircation event (use time machine if necessary) then you buy the cheap one and sell it as expensive.

25 April (25 aprile [ˌventiˈtʃiŋkwe aˈpriːle]) is a national holiday in Italy that commemorates the liberation of Italy from Nazi German occupation and Fascist collaborationism (Italian Social Republic), during the final phase of World War II.

There is a Swedish film on this subject. As described on imdb:

A German business man, Volkswagner, comes to Österlen in the south of Sweden to build Deutschneyland, a gigantic amusement park for German tourists. The local councilors and the member of parliament are all in favor of the idea, although it will turn vast areas into parking lots for cars. The Lindberg family does not like the idea and with the help of a little magic, they start scheming against it.

There are scenes where they are walking around in the middle of nature going

Can you imagine a better place for a popcorn stand?

And stuff like that. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068025/

Such presidential language. *chefs kiss*

Oh yeah? Does she understand this: “Good girl!”?

(Of couse she does, look at her)

Damn, I’m looking for the other direction, chicken soup to hdmi. Can’t find that anywhere.

An American movie or TV show I would probably have the same level of understanding as my native language, even on references, puns, etc… English from any other nation, not to the same degree, but I’d say comparable to an american. Speaking I would say I would be quite far off. I’d say I speak a sort of “Erasmus English”, meaning I have almost exclusively had conversations with Europeans, none of which native to english. That means we borrow words which may be common to us, but not english, or accidentally apply our native grammatical rules to english.

What did Rutte promise his daddy now?

She tours foreign countries for clout. She used to be a host for a program on the Swedish far-right party’s Youtube channel. The irony completely lost on them having an immigrant telling them what to think.

The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night

The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal

As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear

Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush

The villages are mined the contract’s been signed
We’ll tell you one more time WE WANT YOUR OIL
Supply no longer guaranteed we demand security
Running out of Texas tea WE WANT YOUR OIL
Children of the CIA we want somewhere new to play
Better get right out the way WE WANT YOUR OIL

I don’t think that is an exlusively american thing though.

These also exist for toppings for ice cream, like chocolate and caramel. So jokes about using these directly in your mouth… It probably happens. (Although those are so very hard to press)

Får får inte får. Får får lamm.

sheeps don’t get sheeps. Sheeps get lambs.

Får = sheep/to get

var tog vägen vägen? Ute på en åker och åker

where did the road go? Out in a field and driving

“Tog vägen” = literally “took the road”, meaning “where did it go”, sort of. And åker = driving and a farm field.

I got a t-shirt from the Swedish Society for People with Anxiety. It came with a print on the chest.

“print on the chest” would be “tryck för/på/över bröstet” having the double meaning “preassure over the chest”.

Then there are endless of jokes from Gothenburg which all do not translate.

Who is faster, Eminem or Taylor Swift? Eminem, he is a rapper

“rapper” in swedish is “rappare”, meaning also “faster”.

In stockholm a snake escaped the zoo and has not been found. The zoo is missing him a lot

The last bit in swedish would be “saknaden är enorm”, “saknad” being the emotion of missing someone, “enorm” being large/a lot/great. But also enorm=en-orm=a-snake.

Really? Swedish government:

[G]rants may be paid in the amount of SEK 350,000 for those who have reached the age of 18 and SEK 25,000 for those who have not reached the age of 18, but not more than SEK 500,000 for spouses or cohabitants and not more than SEK 600,000 per family

So that is a litte less that 35,000 USD (after this proposed increase). This is liberal politics in Sweden.

Also to note, the first statement from the minister there in that link, Johan Forssell, his son is active club neonazi. He is still in the party and a Swedish minister. That, and how his party is collaborating with a full party of “ex” neonazis, is how far separated our governments are from nazis in Europe.

People doing ski slopes in the cheese. Some people don’t care, some get angry.

In Sweden we buy large hard cheeses and use the Norwegian cheese slicer

to get thin slices for our bread. Surely a superior way of eating cheese on bread. Anyhow, if you apply the pressure wrong you will deform the cheese into a ski slope shape over time

Some people are unbothered by this, which is completely insane.

When I designed physics exam questions I tried to make them such that if the answer was wrong people in the problem could die.
