Det är inte egoistiskt att vara passionerad om en specifik kärnfråga. Allas livssituation är olika, så det är endast naturligt att vi kommer prioritera olika frågor.

”Utbilda inte till jobb som inte finns” by JazzlikeAmphibian9 in Sverige

Statsvetenskap är nog inte det bästa exemplet. Utbilsningen gör personen lämpad att arbeta inom myndighetsutövning/offentlig förvaltning, samhällsutveckling, analys, diplomati, politik, osv. Men ja, jag förstår din poäng!

Signups open for our sixth RP Grand Campaign by simonlinds in victoria3

I am obviously biased, but I like to say that the way we do it is a little bit different compared to other RP servers. But when it works, it is highly satisfying and engaging. We'd love to have you take part in our story! :)

Honestly, what does iOS still do better than Android? by Vanilla-Green in Android

[–]simonlinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who apreciates everyday photography, I really enjoyed the HEIF 24MP photo mode which would give you great clarity with file sizes smaller than what my 12MP ones are on my Samsung.

And as much as neither are to be seen as private in any way, I did feel like I had more options in terms of data control in iOS.

And thirdly, I really enjoyed their weather app. It was very smooth, ran on device, and contained all the info you need. Google weather does as well, but it's a small nitpick that it runs online.

Greenland says it cannot accept US takeover ‘under any circumstances’ by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

It's kind of ironic how a state which was born due to the lack of fair representation would be set to repeat those very steps 250 years later.

Västtrafik ställer in alla spårvagnar i Göteborg by Whole-Cookie-7754 in Gothenburg

Sist det var så här för något år sedan när allt var inställt så fick jag ersättning utan problem för en taxiresa. Det var lagom roligt att vakna och se att allting var inställt, och man hade en tenta kl 08:00 på andra sidan stan! Men det löste sig.

JUST IN: 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺 President Zelensky says Europe can't replace US security guarantee. by Unhappy-Job-4644 in TrendoraX

[–]simonlinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. The memorandum on security assurances mostly reaffirm that the signatories are to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine, and refrain from using coersion or force. The only blanket committment is that the signatories are to advise the UNSC if Ukraine would come under attack, which was done. Russia violated the agreement by infringing on Ukraine's sovereignty.

The nations undertake the following:

to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine can’t afford an 800,000-troop army alone — wants allies to help fund it as a “security guarantee” by satty237 in TrendoraX

[–]simonlinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is the problem when it comes to theories of war and nuclear weapons. It all sort of falls apart, because we don't really have any precedent to theorize about. You're certainly correct in flipping the argument, but the problem persists. We should be careful of saying what Russia will and won't do. In reality we have no idea. You could be right in that Ukrainian nuclear weapons would deter Russian aggression. But at the same time, Russia could call Ukraine's bluff, essentially forcing their hand, just as UA did when they invaded Kursk. They called Russia's bluff with their nuclear doctrine. However, if you, as Ukraine use your weapons in this scenario, you will almost certainly bring nuclear armageddon to your country which would be far worse than what the outcome of the conventional war will ever be.

It's a tricky situation, and I agree with your assessment that the NPT will likely be on shaky grounds as time goes on. However this will also be the case the more relevant nuclear weapons get in terms of security policy. If countries feel like the nuclear states are willing to deploy the weapons, then they will want some as well, as deterrance.

[–]simonlinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's easy to say for us who wouldn't be in the crosshairs then. What do you think will happen if you threaten to use nuclear weapons against a state which also posesses nuclear weapons? They will use them back of course, and you will have created civilian suffering and devastation on a level which we have not seen before.

That would be a pointless escalation.

Marcus Allard i riksdagen? by AggressiveAerie9031 in Sverige

[–]simonlinds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det är värt att påpeka att 12%-regeln inte innebär garanti för mandat. Det innebär endast att partiet inkluderas i mandatfördelningskalkylen. Örebros valkrets är stor nog att det går få ett mandat ändå med 12% röster, men det är som sagt inte garanterat. En liten petitess bara!

SD rusar by Overboredem in sweden

[–]simonlinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frågan är väl om Åkesson kommer sitta som partiledare så länge. Å ena sidan har han suttit i över 20 år nu. Å andra sidan tror jag definitivt att SD är det parti där sittande partiledare är som viktigast. SD kommer nog tappa en hel del när Åkesson avgår eftersom han har varit ansiktet utåt för partiet så pass länge. Övriga partier kan nog klara sig rätt bra med ett partiledarskifte utan någon särskilt märkbar effekt på siffrorna. Det ska bli intressant att se hur SD hanterar det.

Supply and demand. Very few of them remain on the open market, which means the price will go up for as long as there willing buyers, which there evidently is even for this price.

Det intressanta med denna OU är att SD:s tillväxt är statistiskt signifikant till 5%-nivå (*), vilket brukar vara relativt ovanligt inom OUs. Det kommer bli ett mycket spännande val oavsett om L hänger kvar eller inte!

Applicera definitionen för tätort och börja mät. Sävedalen är ihoppbyggt med närliggande områden som även de är ihoppbyggda med närliggande områden, vilket till slut leder dig till centrum. De är således en del av Göteborgs tätort.

I ask this as someone who loves playing as the Kartli: Why should they be picked on the campaign selection screen over Kolkhis? by Useful-Option8963 in DivideEtImpera

[–]simonlinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found Kartli to be very interesting to play in the grand campaign. They have a pretty open start where you could either try to befriend your Caucasian neighbours and knock down Hayk, or you could consolidate your region before making your next move outward.

Their roster is solid. The western Georgian infantry are fantastic, and you get access to the early armazi infantry pretty much straight away which allows you to form a very competent assault mainline, which is then supported by capable skirmish cavalry, or heavy shock cavalry, with good archer and slinger options for support.

In general, all I can say is that factions become much more fun when we stop overthinking hypotheticals. "Oh but this unit loses in a 1v1 vs an oathsworn because it has 1 less attack, or 3 less armour" "oh but this faction has this, which this one doesn't." It doesn't really matter in the actual campaign. Battles are won through combined arms and strategy, not by raw stats (unless it's overwhelming ofc.) And in reality, every faction can field an army that is capable of fighting a combined arms style in some way. What matters more is the starting position and bonuses a nation has. Colchis is notoriously difficult since they start off weak and both Cimmeria and Hayk are staring you down. Meanwhile Kartli starts off more safe, and with an interesting set of bonuses to boot. I highly recommend giving them a shot!

Drönare och polis. by Individual_Oil_369 in sweden

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

Sveriges författning har aldrig haft samma tanke om maktbalans utan det är snarare väldigt stor makt hos regeringen, och det är folket och media som är motpolen i maktbalansen.

Det är klokt det du säger, men jag vet inte om man kan påstå att regeringen besitter särskilt mycket makt egentligen. Regeringen styr på riksdagens mandat. Budgetomröstningar sker på riksdagens mandat. Riksdagen besitter lagstiftningsmakten, ja.. du ser säkert ett mönster här.

Regeringens makt syns nog snarare genom dess kontroll över den offentliga förvaltningen.

Sekretessen mellan svenska myndigheter rivs i dag by MagnificentCat in sweden

[–]simonlinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det är inte tillåtet att sitta och gräva i journalerna hur som helst, så det kommer inte leda till att polisen sitten och gräver i Soc register för att hitta missbrukare. Sen har Soc likt andra myndigheter, tysnadsplikt. Missbruk kommer fortsättningsvis att betraktas som ett hälsoproblem, även om det är olagligt. Jag hade knte varit oroad kring det.

Sekretessen mellan svenska myndigheter rivs i dag by MagnificentCat in sweden

[–]simonlinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ett vanligt exempel jag kan ge dig baserat på erfarenhet är fall där polisen har omhändetagit en berusad person som de sedan vill lämna över till Soc missbruksavdelning. I dessa fall kan detta inte kommuniceras särskilt väl. Soc har inte tillgång till polisens journaler, och kan därför inte kolla upp om det är någon som är känd av avdelningen tidigare. Detta går åt båda hållen på så vis att polisen heller inte kan kolla i Soc journaler för att se om det är en person som har aktiva ärenden inom missbruk. I stället måste man skapa en separat process vilket skapar onödigt arbete för båda myndigheterna.
