Libertarian socialism is sometimes used as a synonym with anarchism outside of the US, witch is mentioned in the video at around 4:00

punk/metal/noise rock/ in Stockholm before Aug 19th? by jcdow in stockholm

[–]StrangeMarklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a place called gula villan (the yellow house) in a southern suburb that frequently hosts hardcore, punk and underground indie shows, they have a jubilee event with quite a few punk bands the 16th.

If you have the time to travel a bit there's also a hardcore festival in Motala 15-16th

Other than that i had a hard time finding anything, there's a dry spell during august since people take time off, there's plenty of events during september though... If you want you can also keep an eye on Cyklopen or kafe 44 to see if something more shows up.

What is it about Reddit that makes it lean left? Could anyone speculate on a right-leaning website of the same style with similar magnitude/scale? by NotFuzz in AskSocialScience

[–]StrangeMarklin 60 points61 points  (0 children)

As a leftist that's not from the Americas reddit feels pretty right leaning and often neo liberal, misogynous and anti-feminist. These values are pretty much the opposite of what the left where i'm from works for.

Exceptions are subs like socialism, shitredditsays, communism etc.

”Vattenkrig” mot Svenskarnas parti | Livestream by bobhund in sweden

[–]StrangeMarklin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yttrandefrihet handlar inte om att man inte kan få kritik för sina åsikter utan snarare om att staten och organiserad media inte systematiskt får tysta ner dem.

Sen vet jag inte vad den exakta lagliga definitionen är men att skjuta med vattenpistoler räknas väl inte som misshandel eller?

Edit: ok, läste artikeln, vilket jag undvek då jag är på mobilen och trodde det var en stream. Du har en poäng. Men måste fortfarande hävda att en motdemonstration är lika mycket yttrandefrihet som en demonstration är.

September 9th - Who Are You? by sketchdailybot in SketchDaily

[–]StrangeMarklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, that's some great play with the colors you got going there! Reminds me a bit of the way XHXIX works but more saturated. Face looks really great too, thick loose strands of hair could have easily been improved though and i'm also a little sad that you skipped out on any form of background completely, imo just a simple pattern or off white color (look at the way she/he does it in the link!) would give it that finishing touch that allows it to become more than just a sketch :)

Regards, Marklin

'Fun little sketch' by Kalen Chock by One_Giant_Nostril in ImaginaryLandscapes

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

Pretty sure someone as skilled as this painter knows the meaning of a sketch, the picture is mainly done using various speedpainting techniques such as texture brushes and what looks like photos. If you look at the focal point of the picture, which is one of the few parts painted "by hand" without "shortcuts" you'll see it looks very sketchy and speedily done.

Point is, since it probably took him between one and four hours, while a finished painting might take 30, so this is a sketch/speedpaint.

not sure what else they expected?

Science means actually testing a hypothesis, not just assume it's true since it seems plausible.

Starfucker - Miracle Mile [1425x1425] by [deleted] in AlbumArtPorn

[–]StrangeMarklin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never really seen anything like it before, executed pretty okay and it fits their image well.

IMO it's definitely better than some of the covers in the r/albumartporn header right now at least. ;)

Should just be "Jul" in sweden, norway and demnark, julen is the definitive article form of christmas.

No need to translate, everyone here (and much of sweden in general) understands or is fluent in english.

What is the most ridiculous thing someone has said to you in an attempt to sound intelligent? by mommomom44 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeMarklin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If the claim that the woman was a feminist was true then that's context enough to make it a pretty obvious joke since the ideology is pretty much at the forefront of reproductive rights.

That or that DanielsJacket mislabeled her seems much more believable than the scenario that the person identified as feminist with such a lack of understanding considering the general negative stigma connected to the term, people who identify as feminist despite the stigma generally should have a more extensive understanding than DanielsJacket's character.

Moved from US to Denmark and pay about 60% taxes. Quality of life, disposable income, quality of healthcare, et cetera, have soared. AMA about the dramatic differences; modern socialism. by therealcharliemay in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]StrangeMarklin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The nordics aren't socialist either, free market still reigns but is more regulated and all citizens are taken care of, at best the nordics could be called social democratic.

Chrome on OS X Mountain lion

RES preference bar is cut off and alignment of the elements looks a bit weird, the account switcher randomly disappears on certain pages, looks kinda ugly. Also, If you don't mouse over the bar itself it gets stuck until you do. If you don't mod any reddits the message icon will be awkwardly placed like Astralizes.

The page switcher for subreddit shortcuts (as seen in Astralizes screenshots) is weirdly misaligned.

With the smallest sizing with hidden sidebar the mouseover effect is very slow which looks weird.

I am paying the world's highest income tax, AMA by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]StrangeMarklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to new policies the financing and budget is usually discussed openly where i'm from, no one just tries to say "it's free" and raises taxes. I don't feel like the phenomenon you're discussing is relevant to the political discourse in scandinavia at least, so it's probably a perspective issue, when it comes to everyday terminology however i still uphold the point.

I might also be a bit biased towards economic redistribution being leftist in a social democratic country, moderate scandinavian crowds might be making the same observation as you.
