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

Sorted Food. Once they started with the Pass It On format they really declined. Now all their videos are pass it on sand Chef Reviews Gadets and no more actual cooking videos, especially not recipe videos.

Norway?

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

In Swedish (maybe also Norweigan and Danish too?) we have a"mil" which is 10 km, I wish this was more wide spread because it’s fairly convenient.

It could even be called a mile! We already have ton/tonne which is just an absolute nightmare of a unit, so we might as well add more confusion to “mile”.

I use IntelliJ for web development (switched from a Java based team to web based) and I don’t really notice any problems. Even with VSC and VS running simultaneously.

I don’t remember how it was in my previous team as I’ve walled of those memories and experiences for mental health.

It took me 24 years to realize it didn’t read Gisnep

You’re welcome

I’m not the one you’ve been arguing with and I’m also European 🤷‍♂️

You made a claim, you need to provide proof for it, not everyone else. That’s how burden of proof works.

>“it was all over the news!”

>can’t provide any proof

Burden of proof is on you, buddy.

I’ve found that Spotify goes “oh you listen exclusively to Scandinavian extreme metal? How about some American screamo OR the exact same stuff you’ve listened to already”, which is the polar opposite to what I want. YouTube music is just a huge mess for me.

Tidal however has reintroduced me to some great bands I had forgotten about and shown me some new ones which are Top Notch ™️

Or at Älgens Hus where they’re tame! Then you really get to appreciate how fucking gigantic those beasts are.

Engineering manager, the one responsible for a team

€70k as a developer? That’s a middled aged EM salary here in Sweden

I’ve been trying to think of an example, the only one I could think of is “assault rifle”. In Swedish, where we contract words, it would be “assaultrifle”, so it’s clear you’re not encouraging someone to beat up a rifle.

English is an inferior language because it does not combine words into one when it would make sense to do so to avoid confusion.

Change my mind.

I’m curious about this “stealing wages” idea. How have their wages been stolen?

CHOOSE:

grouping everyone on a binary political scale with no nuances

not thinking that you’re either left OR right, but realise that you can have different opinions and preferences in different areas and those can’t always be forced into a left/right box, and that you can agredisagree with anyone, regardless if you vote for the same party or not

It’s Finland you’re thinking of

(which as an aside is not a part of Scandinavia, but is a part of the Nordics)
