Or maybe your expectations are off. Volvos have always been very safe cars. In my 2008 and 2015 Volvos the head rests are “uncomfortable” and immobile. But I, and others who are shorter, can adjust the seat so that it saves my neck in case of an crash. They’re not there to be comfortable, they’re there to save you.

Edit: fixed “your my express expectations”

Yes. Fuck Russia and fuck Russians. Slava Ukraini!

Ah you mean in the US? I see, well there’s also the rest of the world

Tbf, I think it’s translated to “give me a clap papa”. But I’m basing that on interpolation as a swede

Same in Swedish, “sköldpadda”. Literally shield toad.

I left and joined Lemmy. After a couple of months of being flooded by politics in /c/memes, actually it’s everywhere, and very little new content I started going back. Now I doomscroll both. I usually head to reddit after a couple of posts which portray me as a fascist because I’m not a Marxist.

You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don’t believe you!

Uninspired is definitely not the right word.

Not only do they force you to use the App Store, developing an app for iOS is a nightmare. Without special tools you must have a mac and a $100/yr apple developer license.

After having to deal with that shit at my old place of work I’ve moved to never touch app development again.

In Sweden it’s stigmatized because of “jantelagen” (a set of written unwritten social rules, basically, don’t think you’re better than anyone else and don’t boast). For example I’ve got a high paying job as a software developer, so talking to my unioned electrician friend who makes significantly less about their $120 salary bumps is kind of awkward. If he found out how much I make I’m pretty sure there’s a chance he’d do talking to me for a while.

But I’d like to say I’m staying humble still. I was about to study to be an electrician when I got a message on LinkedIn which landed me my job as a developer.

I’m also not above admitting that we make too damn much compared to our peers who do jobs which actually contribute to society (teachers like my wife or electricians like my friend). But I’m gonna ride the wave, try to max my salary, and try to encourage our son to not discard jobs like electricians, carpentery, etc.

It definitely is not a joke - their inability and refusal to make themselves understood is a real problem.

The only solution is to boycott them all and dig out their countries and separate them from the rest of Europe (/s)

Woking with people from southern Europe (seen from Sweden), sadly a lot. Belgians, Luxemburgians, French (🤢), Swiss, and the list continues.

I keep it in the bag on the counter and it thaws just fine

That’s standard in Sweden. 60 minute unpaid lunch breaks, two paid 15 minute breaks, minimum.
