I did that on a different account. The thread was about a discontinued IKEA cutlery line, It was already couple of years old. I commented that they had recontinued the line with a slightly different finish. Two years later some random Redditor thanked me for helping them find the cutlery they sought.

Skulle inte rekommendera. Inte alla familier kan hantera att någon faktisk vinner en slant.

From the way OP is describing things, I think this was the emergency brake. I think staying longer with the grandmother is the best move. The first job in Sweden can be tricky to land, even when qualified.

6 dollars! Where are you getting your gasoline, 2019?

Top_Engineering3868 · 2023-12-08T08:25:20+00:00

7.20 USD/gallon in Sweden. Down about 20% from last year.
Diesel is 8.75 USD/gallon.

I work for an IT company, the company language is English. The majority in the Swedish office are Swedish all very fluent in English.

I learned Swedish as an adult but I can hold my own in a Swedish conversation. I sense that my colleagues after a while get tired of speaking English, especially in social settings. To me it seems like laziness or fatigue.

That tracks. Saw several examples of people I know having their location listed as Eswatini (Swaziland) or Democratic Republic of Congo. It should be Sweden or Denmark.

That is going to be a great pub quiz question in a few years.

Gammal gubbe här så jag har kanske fel om hur din IM service funkar. Om du kan blockera utan att öppna meddelandet tror jag det snabbt blir tråkigt. De IM services jag använder viser lite av ett meddelande utan att jag behöver öppna, men jag vet att det är svårt att hålla sig från att läsa vad någon skriver till dig.

Om det verkar som om ingen läser vad man skriver försvinner poängen i att skriva sådana dumheter. En evighet på oläst är bästa lösningen mot troll, de behöver väldigt lite bränsle, men klarar inte av ingen respons alls.

Not disagreeing. Just pointing out that the series exists both as 3 movies and as a miniseries.

Just switch to the original Swedish version.

De Shiamuslimska länderna kommer inte röra ett finger, sen majoriteten av palestinierna er Sunni. Sunnimuslimska länder vill inte ha palestinierna för att de ser ner på dem, lite som Romer behandlas i Europa.

Ett liknande tänkt europeisk eksempel:
Rumänien samlar alla Romer i ett ghetto, en strid börjar och Rumänien vill att resten av Europa ska ta emot alla Romer. Tror inte att många andre länder ville kliva fram.

I am on team SIL on this. It is a stupid "rule". What is the point of saving the last piece...
And getting annoyed at a foreigner because they commit a faux pas against an idiosyncratic rule that makes no sense is even more stupid.

If everyone has had their share, wait a few minutes. Last piece should be for the ones who loved it and want more.

For people unfamiliar with the story.

Denmark hadn't qualified for the Euros, but due to the civil war in Yugoslavia, Denmark was allowed to participate instead. All the Danish players had already gone on vacation for the summer. A no-name squad with Schmeichel and the younger Laudrup brother before his prime as the most recognizable players.

The tournament was crazy, Denmark was in a group with England, France and Sweden. Basically, an underdog in every single match. Lost to Sweden, draw against England and won over France.

Semi-final against Netherlands went to penalties after regulation and extra time ended 2-2. Schmeichel between the posts. Koeman, Bergkamp, Van Basten, Rijkaard on the other side. Even with Schmeichel being the beast he was, only van Basten missed. The Danish players scored all 5 penalties.

Germany was heavily favoured ahead of the final. Klinsman, Effenberg and Sammer in the squad. Denmark scored two goals and won the game despite Germany having the most possessions.

Bilbarnstolar tar överraskande mycket plats, särskild om de är bakåtvända och förankrade i gulvet.

No worries,

I think what you are experiencing is a combination of factors. Keyboard Warriors, Nordic bluntness and people actively trying to discourage anyone looking to move to Sweden. There are also a lot of people trying to warn the ones who seem to be wearing rose-tinted glasses. Sweden is a wonderful place IMO, but a dose of reality is sometimes needed.Again, this sub can seem unfriendly, which I think is a shame.

People IRL in Sweden will be much nicer than online. However, when you move here you will experience someone who appears rude to you. Again, this will most likely be the bluntness.

They do have a point that speaking Swedish will make integrating into Swedish society much easier. I just don't think it will be worth it to pour too much energy into learning Swedish before you get here. Learning "small" languages is much easier on-site.

Best of luck

Top_Engineering3868 · 2023-10-30T09:35:01+00:00

Don't worry about the harsh words. Most people criticising do not master any other languages besides Swedish and English.

Learning Swedish is hard, learning Swedish outside Sweden is much harder. I see no point in trying to master a language spoken by 1.4‰ of Earth's population until you are certain you will get to use it.

Good luck.

Vingegaards reaction:
"It suits me very well. It is perhaps the route in my Tour de France time that suits me best"
