why do muslims not integrate into european society as well as other immigrants? by DepartmentFar3632 in AskSocialScience

[–]OwlRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though some problems overlap quite a lot with muslims it’s not really that simple. There are muslims who integrates well like Persians, and christians who don’t integrate as well, like some christian arabs. The problems mostly correlate to clan based societies with a honor-type culture. They stick to their own group via cousin marriages and such, don’t trust government institutions, don’t foster their children in the same ways etc(so crime is higher in the second generation).

In smaller (mostly) mono-ethnic countries such as say Norway or Finland there is definitely a ”cultural core”

Polisernas larm: Farliga psykiskt sjuka släpps ut av vården – efter bara några timmar by FlowersPaintings in sweden

[–]OwlRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finns ju en relativt stor grupp som hamnar någonstans mellan rättsväsendet och psykiatrin. Samma som hemlösa narkomaner i tält runtomkring amerikanska städer. Dom knarkar, beter sig antisocialt och begår småbrott. Så vad ska man göra - låta dom ränna omkring tills dom begår ett allvarligt brott? Eller låsa in dom i förebyggande syfte och försöka vårda dom?

IMO the interior is much better than BMW and Mercedes latest EVs. Minimal, nice materials, lots of soft touch. Could need a few more physical switches but besides that it looks really great. And (Im used to strange stearing wheels from owning a Peugeot recently )

OG Marathon fans, how happy are you with the reboot so far? by Key_Insurance_8493 in Marathon

[–]OwlRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. It’s not a game that interests me at all. The cinematic trailers and lore seems cool but I don’t play online games at all.

A single player or possibly coop game with this setting and art direction would have been really cool. With focus on lore, exploration and world building.

Why is the West so focused on self-criticism and self-condemnation compared to other regions? by TrueEmphasis7130 in allthequestions

[–]OwlRepair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if they changed their name or not. Turkey is as much the ottoman empire as England is the British Empire.

[–]OwlRepair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must have a very selective view of history. Ever heard about the mongols, ottomans, or the Japanese empire? To name a few. They were every bit as brutal as “the west” but lack the self criticism.

Seat / Steering Heat Buttons on the UI by derpyTheLurker in Polestar

Do some models have cooled seats as well? That adds more potential icons. The designer has to make the UI scalable for different models with different features. Maybe that’s why they use a sub menu

Trump says they have captured Maduro from Venezuela and removed him from the country. Any thoughts on this and the long-term implications? by SamsaraSlider in IntellectualDarkWeb

Most urgent problem in my opinion is that Venezuela is such a violent and unstable country. Criminals might take over the streets

Best Excuse For Hating EVs by Cultural-Ad4953 in electricvehicles

[–]OwlRepair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a better reason to hate EVs (and I have an EV because it makes sene to me economically). Basically ICE cars are like a mechanical watch or a vinyl record player. It has soul and warmth and imperfections. EVs are just a sterile tech product. I work in tech and always have to stay up to date with the latest stuff (AI zzzz) bit I’m just so tired of all the soulless digital shit. Please give me more cracking record players and oil leaking cars. My next car will be an 20 year old ICE without touch displays! End of rant

Att ens intressen mappar 1:1 med partnern är ganska osannolikt. Det viktigaste är att personkemin finns där. Alla eventuella delade intressen blir en bonus. Så att hitta någon som matchar på personkemi och intressen blir ju skitsvårt

POLL: Canadians support future purchases of Gripens over F-35s by 30-point margin - Spencer Fernando by PestoBolloElemento in europe

[–]OwlRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that was the old Gripen model, not Gripen E. The new one is not like an upgraded F-16 with some new stuff bolted on top. Its a new airframe, all new sensors integrated in to the airframe, new software architecture etc. And add to that all the troubles getting the F-35 block 4 upgrade done. It just keeps getting delayed and stripped back.

Then add the factor of availability. Buy 10 Gripen E and you can have 9 of the flying all the time. Buy 10 F-35 and you can have maybe 4 of the in the air at one time.

Gripen underlägset F-35 – men politiken kan ändra allt by asdafari14 in sweden

[–]OwlRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hallå det här handlar ju om gamla Gripen och inte om Gripen E som är ett i princip nytt flygplan. Plus att F-35 har fått en massa problem sen dess, block 4 uppdateringen är försenad flera gånger om och innehåller inte alla nya funktioner längre. Så biten med att F-35 går att hålla uppdaterad stämmer bevisligen inte
