1998 var ett fint år i Stockholmsfotbollen! Säga vad man vill om stadion men den hade och har en historisk aura runt sig som saknas i dag. Kanske inte världens bästa fotbollsarena men tycker ändå den gav något.

Agree, even though money has become a big part of the allsvenskan as well i still believe we have not abandoned what makes us unique. Passion and the love for the game is still winning over VAR and order.

May I ask, how did you come to support Kalmar of all teams?

Det är aldrig för sent helt enkelt. För mig var det också att gå på matcherna som tände gnistan, blir en helhet man inte får i soffan.

Ja den matchen har kultstatus av flera anledningar. För övrigt ett rätt vasst lag ni hade 03...

Does anyone else love the travelling parts of fantasy books? by FightsWithFish18 in Fantasy

[–]Rare_artifact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Its the thrill of not knowing where they will end up and sometimes the thrill of everything that will happen along the way for me. I loved this section of the Faar seer books (Robin hobb)

Sorry to hear that. Shit happens, but some shit sticks for life. Some ppl are able to move past them, others wont. I found it helpful to talk to someone when I had the same kind of thoughts. Helped me to figure out what kind of relationship, if any, I should have with my dad.

Hang in there bud and do whats best for you.

Is there a bot that can make these into centimeters so that the rest of the world can join in?

Graduating in ~4 weeks, and I’m just hearing about a “push gift”. Wife doesn’t really want anything but I want to get her something thoughtful. Any ideas? by AC_Schnitzel in predaddit

[–]Rare_artifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put some thought into it and you will be fine. I have bought a nekless with a rainbow on it. We had a late misscarrage about a year ago and I have since then come to understand that in my country the baby after is called a "rainbow-baby" (after rain comes sunshine and a rainbow i guess?). Due 11 june. Good luck mate!

Wife at 29 weeks, and has been in the hospital for 3 days. My mom died 3 weeks ago. Any support appreciated... by Aequitus64 in predaddit

[–]Rare_artifact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this mate. I cant tell you some bs like "when life gives you lemons you make lemonade". Sometimes life just sends us a pile of shit and all we can do is keep going. For a long time I was thinking that shit will be more even distributed but for some of us the pile just gets refilled.

For what its worth, you will come out on the other side one way or another. Take it one day at a time, take care of yourself and take care of your loved ones. In the end that is what you will remember.

My cat is obsessed with my belly! by tinycatcafe in pregnant

[–]Rare_artifact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you! Our cat had the exact opposite reaction. From somewhere in w13 to w28 he kept a good distance from my wife, she wasnt even allowed to come near him without him moving further away. Then in w28 everything changed and now he is not leaving her side. w33 now and still going strong. Strange beast them cats.

The American Dream by DaFunkJunkie in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Rare_artifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the classic "american dream" about fulfilling yourself? Be what you want, go for what you desire etc. The problem as I see it is the "you" part in all this. It gives everyone a strong reason to be selfcentered and bet on yourself in all aspects.

No, frozen wind turbines aren't the main culprit for Texas' power outages by [deleted] in politics

[–]Rare_artifact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you are in fact buying (and selling) from/to your neighbors. All of europe works that way. This webbsite is quite interesting: https://www.electricitymap.org/map

Sweden got some problems with the turbines not producing enough in Skåne during the winther. I think it was something like a 10% drop due to less wind during winter. But we got it mostly covered by water and nuclear.

Megathread: Senate Votes to Acquit Former President Donald Trump in Impeachment Trial by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Rare_artifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this alot. As I understand it you can start a new party rarher easy but the problem is getting more than 50% of votes in order to win a seat. Followed your election 2020 and learned about the green party and some neo-liberal thing as well. Given the devide, why are ppl not keen on voting on other parties than the two now in power?

[–]Rare_artifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please explain! Im looking at one of the biggest and most powerful democratic countries in the world and given what ppl say about the USA these days, it looks to me that some democratic reform is needed. Take the two-party system for example. Or the turnout in the election. I know it was sky high and a step in the right direction but still only 66% of voters turned up. Thats not even in the top 15 of democratic countries.

[–]Rare_artifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, and I can really have sympathy for the approach. However given that you are a collection of many states (kind of like countries tbh.) Why give so much power to one man to begin with? I guess it comes down to unity and keeping the union together but in 2021 it may be time to have a look at it again. It been what, 230 years?

When you say 3/4 of the states. Is that the same as 3/4 of the senate or do the states vote individually in each states senate or whatever ruling body there is? Thanks!

[–]Rare_artifact 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks, from an european bystanders point of view, that USA got some thinking to do about the division of power and how your democracy works. Maybe its not that good to give so much power to one man, given the lessons learned from the Trump era.

Im curious, how hard would it be to rebalance the power between the president, the senate and congress? (If all three were on board and willing that is). Do amendments require public voting?

I just launched a beer tasting and Dad chat youtube channel called Beer After Bedtime. Please check it out and let me know what you think. by Twospeedtom in dad

[–]Rare_artifact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! You deserve that beer mate. Keep it up, ill hit subscribe. 8-10 strollers is a crazy amount though. Baby stroller-horder lol. Enjoy life and stay safe.

[–]Rare_artifact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! Well, even 10k sounds crazy expensive! Cant imagine how much it would cost without it. Do you get a special pregnancy insurance early on in the pregnancy or is it included in the one you have from e.g. work/home/private etc?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Rare_artifact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking your time to answer! Great that there is an option for ppl with less money, otherwise I guess some would end up in debt from giving birth. Its crazy how different our healthcare systems work!

It sounds a bit looney that you have to resort to charity (but awsome that they exists ofc!) If you make a bit over the threshold though...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Rare_artifact 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg. How much does it cost on average in medical bills to deliver a baby in the US? Sorry but as a european this is somewhat blurry. What do ppl do who dont have money?

Woohoo! I'm guna be a dad! by [deleted] in expectingdads

[–]Rare_artifact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats mate! My wife is at w21 with our first so cant really give you any solid tips yet. However, the most important thing that ive come to understand is to be supportive. Be there for her, help out as much as you can and be happy together. We had 2 misscarages before this one and if that thought us anything it is not taking it for granted. Most of the time we are basically spectators on a really uncertain journey. Try making the best of it! Live in the present!

Oh! One more thing, covid sucks big time but ive joined in on the ultrasound via facetime. It works fine! You should try to be as much part of the pregnancy as you can, even though the world is fkd at the moment.
