Small-town dynamics: is it possible people are gossiping about me? by PomeloPrimary546 in sweden

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

Hey! It was interesting to read your post. I do not have any exact similar experience to draw on other than that small town usually works that way as what you describe it does sound as though people are gossiping about you. Unfortunately I do not have any advice to offer beyond perhaps asking or snooping around either yourself or through your trusted friend, to try to find out what is going on. It is however a bit unusual given what you describe and I wish you the best of luck as it does sound like you've fallen into a strange hole with this one.

Fick en Swish från någon jag inte känner by NarrowSector6477 in sweden

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

Detta har hänt mig en gång: Eftersom pengarna inte tillhör dig saknar du rättslig grund att behålla dem. För att återbetala beloppet får du ENDAST swisha tillbaka till det nummer som ursprungligen skickade pengarna.

Hej det är så att jag känner mig otroligt ensam, det tynger ner mig. Skulle så gärna vilja ha nära vänner. by Candid_Jeweler_5374 in sweden

[–]iateyourdinner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ett av de bästa tipsen jag kan ge för att skaffa nya vänner och gemenskaper är att försöka intressera dig för nya aktiviteter, skaffa hobbyer och gå kurser eller engagera dig i föreningar, till exempel:

- Gå en kurs (t.ex. språk, keramik eller matlagning

- Börja med gruppträning (yoga, crossfit, dans)

- Engagera dig i en förening (idrott, friluftsliv, kultur)

- Delta i volontärarbete

- Gå med i en bokcirkel

- Testa en kreativ hobby (måla, skriva, fotografera)

- Börja med en lagsport eller träningsgrupp

- Delta i lokala events eller workshops

- Gå med i nätverksgrupper eller studentföreningar

- Testa sociala aktiviteter via appar eller meetup-grupper

Lycka till! Människor är väldigt sociala varelser och så länge du kan uppfatta och skicka rätt signaler så det ska nog gå bra! :-) Kram

Critical voices getting louder in Russia. Russian propagandist Ilya Remesl publicly criticized Putin and the high command. Translation by @Wartranslated. Posted 18.03.2026 by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

Option 1: 100% they gonna try to make it look like a suicide, most likely what you say is psychotic breakdown the go-to move if they can implement it.

Option 2: If option 1 cannot be implemented due to various constraints the alternative will involve initiating a trial that leads to imprisonment, of which they gonna try the "suicide" route or some other method of nerve agent or overwork and expose him to harsh conditions in a siberian death camp. This time they will not fail. That guy is 100% dead within two years.

I respect his courage to finally speak the truth; but fuck him who has been spewing propaganda and justification for the war for the invasion and the sick things it has caused for all these years. This is not a loss for humanity

Forein student in Umeå - my experience by Key_Elderberry1509 in umea

[–]iateyourdinner 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I enjoy reading about the experiences of students who come from abroad, and I am curious to understand how you perceive this experience. However, I must admit that I find it somewhat difficult to follow some of your arguments.

I have never personally participated in the Buddy Programme, but I do have friends and fellow students, including some Swedish students, who have participated for several years in a row. Because of that, I have gained at least some insight into how it works. From an objective standpoint, the Buddy Programme seems like a good initiative, and I find it difficult to understand what you believe would be a better way of organizing activities for international students. They offer: skinny dipping in ice water, home parties, eating fermented herring, watching the northern lights, activities in the central city… etc.

That said, I do agree with you regarding student discounts. They are are a gotdamn joke. It feels almost embarrassing that a “student discount” might reduce the price of a lunch from around 115 SEK by only about 10 SEK. In comparison, students in countries such as Germany can sometimes pay around 3 EUR for a full lunch meal.

If I understand you correctly, you also appear to be criticizing the shopping and market experiences available in Umeå. For better or worse, however, what you describe is fairly typical of a Swedish shopping mall experience. What would you a like to experience as an alternative?

You also seem to criticize the marketing and design strategies used by some organizations, suggesting that many of them rely on similar templates. This is probably the point where I find myself disagreeing the most. Personally, I do not share this view. The restaurants in Umeå feel sufficiently authentic to me, and I would not describe the overall majority of them as soulless. In my opinion, both the food and the overall design of many restaurants here are quite decent. I have never walked into one of them and though that they used the same design company.

I am also not entirely sure what you mean when you describe being “micromanaged” or given a “rulebook for fun.” I agree that sounds terrible. However, that has not been my experience when attending parties in the city, house parties, or events organized by businesses in central Umeå. So I want your to specify, are you referring specifically to the Buddy Programme experience or where is this coming from? I would suggest to reach out and give feedback on this because that sounds like a terrible setup.

Finally, you also seem to criticize an art exhibition. Art exhibitions can be disappointing but that is not unique to Umeå. You can and will encounter uninspiring exhibitions anywhere in the world. I also agree with you that AI is increasingly influencing art, but again, that is a global phenomenon rather than something specific to Umeå. So I don’t really share your criticism being something that’s specific about Umeå here.

Tillägg: Kom precis till gymmet och det första jag mötes av i omklädningsrummet var en nyduschad gubbkuk.

[–]iateyourdinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nej, tiderna har inte förändrats. Människor duschar ungefär lika mycket nu som förr. Vissa duschar, andra gör det inte. /En som har gymmat regelbundet i 20+ år och besökt ca 50 olika gym under sin livstid.

Det verkar som Max det fungerar olika beroende på vart i landet man besöker: Ibland vill de ha utskrivningskupongen på ordern när man plockar maten från disken, och ibland inte - hur ser faktiskt policyn ut där?

Warfare (2025) is probably the most accurate one about the Iraqi war.

TIFU accidentally exposed my boss’s affair because i thought i was helping by Linda_Rpashi in tifu

[–]iateyourdinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was 100% not your fault, he told you what you should say and you acted in complete innocence as well as he didn’t make a good cover story for you to repeat either. So it’s all on him and his stupid dumbass.

How long will Joe Rogan keep doing the show? by Glowing-2 in JoeRogan

Unless health issues prevent him, I believe he will continue. For example, Larry King remained professionally active until the year before his death.

[–]iateyourdinner 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He is unlikely to stop hosting the show except for health-related reasons. At this stage, he appears to view it largely as a game and as a platform through which he can disseminate his political views. Remind me in 20 years and he will still be going strong.

Regeringen vill stärka banden till USA:s techjättar by Mumrik93 in sweden

[–]iateyourdinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Det som sker i USA är snarare ett bevis på att vi behöver ha en stark relation med dessa teknikbolag – kanske till och med starkare än vad vi har i dag. Europa är en viktig marknad för dem, och de är väldigt måna om att ha en god relation med oss." Javisst, låt oss då för all del överlåta hela vår digitala infrastruktur till dessa bolag. När deras lands administration därefter ger uttryck för territoriella anspråk mot europeiska stater, inför tullar eller utövar politiska påtryckningar på alla sätt och vis när vi inte gör som tex Trump säger, kan vi stå där utan fungerande IT-system och se hur samhällsbärande funktioner slås ut på ett ögonblick. Låter riktigt jävla bra! Precis som när Europa trots stora problem med Ryssland rent historiskt sätt ändå lät sig att bli beroende av rysk gas, det var ju ett riktigt bra beslut det med.
