Here in Sweden we just don’t use Sir/Madam at all. Everyone refers to each other by their first name, even in professional settings.

Games•Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'English
11·3 days agoI dream of a sequel that focuses on the consequences of the legion falling apart after the second battle of hoover dam.
Basically a game where one faction wants to turn the remnants of the legion into a unified democratic republic (perhaps a mixture of the Roman senate and the NCR), another faction wants to find a new caesar (and possibly reform some of the stupider sides of the old legion) and a third faction just wants to go back to being a bunch of independent tribes that only trade with each other.
You would play as the grown up child of a legionaire who died at hoover dam and a slave who was sold off to somewhere else when you were young.
Every episode of modern Simpsons:
“[First name] [Last name]! [Pronoun]'s the best [occupation] in all of [country].”
- Lisa Simpson, directly to the audience.
“That’s right, Lisa. I’m here to [ad for a song/book/movie/space-nazi].”
- [First name] [Last name].
Jesus christ! That’s around the median monthly income in my country. And I come from a rich country.
My rent is around a fifth of that. Please tell me the $3000-4000 range is at least for a family apartment.

Not The Onion•‘The President Is Right, The Pope Is Wrong’: Hannity Suggests Leo Has ‘Totally Lost Sight of the Bible and Its Teachings’English
817·7 days agoThere’s a name for catholics who believe that the pope isn’t always right.
They are called protestants.
Catholicism only has one firm rule: The pope is always right, without exception. There’s nothing wrong with criticizing the pope. Just don’t call yourself a catholic if you do.
No. Citizenship/nationality is not the same as ethnicity.
An ethnostate is a state where only one ethnicity is allowed and all other ethnicities must either leave, have their rights stripped from them or die.
What exactly do you find weird about a buff, three-armed Richard Nixon whose head has been replaced with three spikes, holding hands with Solid Snake right next to a cowboy astronaut?
The AI couldn’t decide if the hat should say “federal” or “pedophile” so it did an average of the two.
Unfortunately, that’s not just a porn thing.

32·12 days agoI’m Swedish.
Not a single social democrat in my country would ever call themselves conservative, even though they want to preserve the welfare state that the right is eroding. Only the right and the far right call themselves conservatives.

29·12 days agoConservatism is an ideology based on the idea of family-first policies, nationalism and religious values. You might as well claim that anarchism is anything that creates chaos or that liberalism is anything that makes you free. You have misunderstood what the word means in a political context.

31·12 days agoWhat is even funnier to me is that it lists the Swedish party Liberalerna as a “Conservative Liberal” party. That party has voted 100% (not 99% or 98%, exactly identical) to Moderaterna, a conservative party, during this latest four-year period. Nobody is going to vote for them in the upcoming election because they are a fundamentally unnecessary party that just does whatever Moderaterna tells them to do.

Games•Game franchises you like, but wish were another genre of video game?English
101·12 days ago“The best part of Fallout is it basically never runs out of content”
That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.
I wish Fallout would return to primarily being a roleplaying game, with actual dialog choices, including the ability to say “No, I don’t give a shit about Shaun. In fact, I’m glad he was kidnapped, so that I don’t have to be bogged down by a backstory that I never agreed to.”
Oh, and it would be nice if the main character wasn’t automatically the leader of every faction in the game.

82·12 days agoBig parties in FPTP and other non-proportional systems have people from all over the political spectrum.
Big parties in MMP and other proportional systems have ideologies and stick to their ideologies.
Bernie Sanders would never be in the same party as Joe Biden in a proportionally representative democracy.

215·12 days ago“Conservative liberalism” is an oxymoron. Centre to centre-right means social liberalism and an acceptance/approval of the welfare state.
Conservatism of any kind is right to far-right.

3·12 days agoMe: am cautiously and very slightly optimistic while being aware of the fact that Magyar has a lot of similarities to Orban, and that Orban accepts the outcome of the election.
You: You’ve been duped! He’s Orban’s chosen siccessor and you are fully unaware of this!
Like, come on, man. Have some amount of hope in the betterment of the world. I’m not saying that progress under Magyar is a guarantee. I’m saying there is a possibility.

News•Hungary elections live: Orban has conceded defeat after 16 years in powerEnglish
17·12 days agoI know that this sounds crazy, considering how world leaders usually behave nowadays, but it is possible that he was just kind of tired of being in charge and thinks that Magyar (who does share the vast majority of Orban’s values) is a decent enough replacement who won’t start any corruption court cases against him.

1592·12 days agoOn the one hand, his ideology is more or less identical to Orban’s (he used to be a Fidesz party member until two tears ago).
On the other hand, he is somewhat EU friendly, supports Ukraine and, most importantly, is the head of a different party. 16 years of Fidesz rule is over. That’s not nothing.




Windows sold me out by having a “Recently viewed files” section on the start menu that I had not noticed. Luckily, it was my friends that found it and not my parents.
Still, though, being caught red-handed with badly photoshopped fake nudes of Britney Spears was quite embarrassing for teenage me.
