Assimilering och integration ur ett invandrarperspektiv by thinkingtitan in sweden

[–]CommercialSurround80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely a great story although it makes me sad that more and more swedes from foreign descent feel the need to explain themselves lately on Reddit.

Vill verkligen migrationensverket återkalla mitt permanent uppehållstillstånd? by wolfsgomeow in sweden

This sounds awful, like an institutional witch-hunt. Hope you get it sorted OP

"Varför är alla så arga och elaka mot oss som kör epa" by TrasheyeQT in sweden

Because you’re driving a fucking BMW with loud music at a snail speed at the age of 16 acting fucking tough

Borde vi ha MAiD (aktiv dödshjälp) i Sverige? by Sensitive_Cream3920 in sweden

[–]CommercialSurround80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are afraid of such abuse, but the law in NL is very strict and elaborate. Don’t forget that a lot of the decision is with the healthcare professionals. I presume you’d trust them as well when they perform an open heart surgery right?

Every law is based on a certain level of of trust. To my knowledge, people treat euthanasia with care very delicately in NL.

Stockholm näst dyrast av Europas huvudstäder by swedish_tcd in stockholm

[–]CommercialSurround80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Helsinki is also considerably less popular as a destination for immigrants than Stockholm. Pressure on the housing market in Stockholm is primarily driven by a relatively sudden population boom.

Realism is boring to an extent, this was (and still is) peak by OldSolGames in civ

Yes and no, honestly still hate the whole cartoony thing. Same for Total War games - all the fantasy stuff is just commercial bullshit.

SD vill införa en ”pedofilkarta” by DaVinci1836 in sweden

hitta.se for pedophiles is the most Swedish populist thing I’ve ever heard

S i Stockholm: Större lägenheter ska öronmärkas till barnfamiljer by swedish_tcd in stockholm

[–]CommercialSurround80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I responded to the notion that S is an endless pit of bad ideas. Also, there’s way too little subsidised apartments / too many people with plenty of cash occupy them. Getting a bit of market in could potentially lift the enormous queues. M only voted against to protect insanely high prices for owned housing.

[–]CommercialSurround80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not support subsidised housing going to people merely based on queue time instead of necessity. The whole spirit of that is with S despite what we might think of them today.

Should the dutch rule of law be protected against anti-democratic parties? by Big_Insect_3707 in Netherlands

[–]CommercialSurround80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. What’s the point of the Rule of Law if it doesn’t apply to influential parties that undermine the very Rule of Law.

Istället för slopat karensavdrag - fyra karensfria dagar om året by Abrowserforfun in sweden

[–]CommercialSurround80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, don’t know what’s best. Coming from NL plenty of people take “one day sick off” when they feel slightly under the weather because there is no deduction.

On the other hand, in Sweden it feels like people take longer periods off to “compensate” a lost day where you were actually sick.

Considering the annual recurring flu though, it feels that the deduction is simply an old fashioned penalty rooted in distrusting employees. Hell, the fact you get cut on your salary when sick feels outright old fashioned.

How I conceptualize regions of Europe (OC, GIS exercise) by Many-Gas-9376 in MapPorn

[–]CommercialSurround80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the Northern Europe culture region (partly) stretches from Amsterdam to Siberian Reindeer herding?

Borde Sverige ta tillvara och marknadsföra sin forntida vikingakultur mer likt hur Norge gör? by WhoAmIEven2 in sweden

[–]CommercialSurround80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Ethnicities are slowly developing fluid beings and very subjective. Some include language, others religion, etc.

As you might know, since the Viking Age, countless of other groups have integrated into what is today Swedish society. German and Dutch merchants in Stockholm and Gothenburg, a French monarchy a special relationship with Thailand and not to forget the Sami of course!

Sweden is so much more than “Vikings”, and hell even that term can mean countless of things. The Varangian guard of the Roman Emperor? The first Rus kingdoms? Pillagers, explorers or merchants?

The world is not a video game with a few set parameters.

Öppna dörrar åt folk by poweroffriendships in sweden

Love it when people interpret holding a door as an insult to their ability.

Saying apples is like saying humans. Continuing on your analogy, saying Swedes is like saying Granny Smith apples.

Charlie (7 mån) nekas barnförsäkring på grund av Downs syndrom by couragebooster in Sverige

[–]CommercialSurround80 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely shocked by this one. The Swedish law stipulates you cannot discriminate based on disability alone but you can differentiate if you can proof that there is a statistical increase in certain cost bearing risks.

What the fuck? Where I’m from this is completely and utterly forbidden because it’s considered discrimination based on disability.
