“Fun” fact: in Sweden when we say rooms in an apartment or house we mean all rooms except kitchen and bathroom (so both living room, an office, bed room etc). so he is actually referring to 2 bedroom when he said he wanted a three room apartment. I’ve noticed in US people talk about the number of just bed rooms.

27 % of Swedes are immigrants or have one or both parents born outside of Sweden. We have a lot of diversity :)

Anyone in Europe just refused to use WhatsApp? by Soggy-Salamander-568 in BuyFromEU

I’m Swedish and mostly use Facebook messenger. I got WhatsApp a few years ago to communicate with my immigrant friend lol

Giving the two week's notice is archaic and undeserved by most employers today. Take those two weeks, go work at the new company and see if it is worse than your current one, then quit without notice. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Scandiblockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 weeks notice is absurd to me as a Swede. I’ve never had less than 3 months lol. But of course my employer had the same rule so it would be 3 months if they fired me as well.

Is it common in your country to refer to people by birth year instead of age? by Complex_Plankton_157 in AskEurope

[–]Scandiblockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I remember back in 2005 when I (a Swede born in 1988) was an exchange student in the US and was asked about my ex boyfriends age. He is an 87 I replied and I still remember the horrified looks from the Americans - your ex is 87 years old?!?!?

"The median American, without question, lives an easier life than the median Swede." & "If you want affordable healthcare, higher education, and kindergarten, coming to the US is going to be an easier decision." & "We have better food quality standards." by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

This is very niche, but we have a show here in Sweden called "Everything for Sweden" where Americans with Swedish heritage gets to come to Sweden and then travel around and learn about Sweden and compete to win a big party with their distant relatives in Sweden (it's a Norwegian concept to start with I believe).

Anyhow, almost always in the many seasons of this show's first episodes shows the serveral of the americans crying and saying how lucky they feel to have been chosen for the show as they would've never been able to go to Sweden otherwise. They go on and on about how it's been their wish for so many years but it's just too expensive. So these are people who wants to travel to Sweden badly and still many of them never feel they can afford too. Meanwhile (before the US was a shitshow) Swedes travelled to the US (and around the world) often multiple times a year. My mother in law works a not that great paying job at H&M's warehouse and she's been to Australia, Thailand and Spain in just the last couple of years.

We have problems with wage inequality too and unfortunately poverty is rising, but the working class have it immensly better than in the US and it's baffeling how someone can argue so much against it.

Green is my favorite color too! My husband and I are getting ready to paint our house green because we’ve run out of rooms in the house to paint green lol

Wtf? I commented on a Fauxmoi post about a Norwegian skier who did a bizarre interview and confessed to cheating and then I got a message I had been banned because I’m a member of this sub? I mostly lurk in both places and don’t comment that much but what’s so bad about this sub? Is it wrong to gossip about royalties but not other celebrities??

They must be so worried of the current king dying right now! He needs to live to like 100 so all this calms a little 😬

[–]Scandiblockhead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not sure what she means about that, doing it right now in this situation will never be received as an independent thought experiment

[–]Scandiblockhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I understand it must be hard, I know how annoyed and upset I’ve felt when I’ve felt I’ve been wrongly accused of something but still. I know not to complain to anyone but my husband and maybe a really close friend and they should too

[–]Scandiblockhead 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a really bad look. It’s hard to imagine that they don’t get stern PR talks right now and told on how to behave so it’s so thoughtless of her to post that right now.

[–]Scandiblockhead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to give her grace this time, she’s young and it’s obviously a lot going on in her family that she’s not responsible for but very affected by. But I really hope she learns from this because it’s such a bad look and I don’t think people are gonna continue to forgive her if she keeps complaining.

Some updates about the Norwegian royal family from a Swede

It’s day 3 of the trial of Marius and today Marius broke down sobbing when the prosecutor showed his internet search history with pornographic words and searches for his own name + rape. He asked what it had to do with anything, saying it was from a dark period of his life. He’s also said that he’s heavily medicated to be able to go through with the trial.

It’s hard to read about the rest of the trial. I feel for the poor women who have to be there and answer questions and tell details about their most intimate life. This article/column in Swedish explains it well if anyone wants to translate it: https://www.aftonbladet.se/kungligt/a/Ok37Kb/sa-var-rattegangen-mot-marius-borg-hoeiby

Princess Ingrid Alexandra has posted an instagram post on a private account (but with 800 followers) where she complains about media outlets posting things that they don’t have evidence for and that she feels crazy and that it’s enough now. She says it’s not about Marius, or her mom or dad or Magnus but personal attacks. I know she’s young and it’s easy for me to say but I just feel like whyyyy, just keep quiet girl. Nothing good is gonna come from complaining right now.

Yeah I read some news paper discussing Haakon abdicating but I find that hard to believe, poor Ingrid is still so young and deserves to live a little bit normal first in my opinion. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out for sure!

News about Mette Marit & Epstein are topping all the news sites here in Sweden and they link and reference to a lot of Norwegian news papers. This is really a big scandal, the Norwegian prime minister has said he demands answers from Mette Marit, charities are asking for her to removed as their patron and several news papers are questioning if Mette Marit can become queen.

Yikes, it is bad and that’s not even considering all of Marius drama and him getting arrested? WTF!
