You have to understand that sweden does a lot of marketing but at the end of the day it's just marketing. Things here aren't nearly as great as everyone abroad imagines them to be.

Not claiming it's a bad place to live in or that there aren't worse places, but the high trust society thing is a myth.

I've had my wallet disappear while I fell asleep on the shore of a lake, in one of those tiny villages where everybody knows each other for example :)

And why do people end up in denmark in jail then?

> But if the time came, would you trust your neighbour to do the right thing?

You don't know anything about sweden, clearly. The only people I speak to in the neighborhood are immigrants and homeless people who live in the nearby shelter.

> I thought I had read that Sweden had made some changes to military service recently, is that not true?

Yeah they are wasting time and money with conscription. Very useful.

I live in sweden and I can tell you that over here it's all idle talk, nothing and nobody is prepared for anything at all.

And the only ones who do buy-in are gun lovers and preppers, which are not a major demographic.

Wasn't your claim that they won't take cash at all? Why the sudden shift?

Anyway it was a place i went in april, i'll have to look it up, i don't really remember.

Stores accept cash. Some restaurants don't, but restaurants aren't really something necessary for survival.

Well I've seen a lot of incompetent cashiers. Especially in summer when the real ones are on vacation. I'm not sure what that proves besides that being a cashier isn't as easy as you might think.

I assure you that pressbyrån accepts cash and you can buy tickets there to get to work. Also having a long subscription for public transport on the phone is a bad idea, because if you drop your phone you'll also lose your subscription. And depending on how many days you had left and what phone you had, it could cost you more than the phone.

And handpicking restaurants that don't accept cash is no more a proof than if I were to do the same but handpicking restaurants that don't accept cards.

Poteto potato…

Unfortunately there is no term for "stop explaining my own country to me", but there are similarities with that other situation so… a rhetorical figure? Heard of those?

Oh since 2008 it is slightly less bad! (I knew). And? It's still bad.

Please stop mansplaining (and wrongly so at that!).

I happen to be in sweden in this very moment. And no, cashiers are not flustered and alarmed when they see cash, old people pay with cash every day.

Yes there is some restaurants that will not take cash.

Last april I was in a place where they did not take cards :)

There's more to sweden than what you personally experience.

Of course they threaten going nuclear.

Every country that has nuclear weapons has them because of the threat of using them.

If a state would say "we will never, in no circumstance, ever use these weapons" then why spend the money to have them in the first place?

USA, pakistan, russia, france, india and so on… they all have these weapons to threaten using them.

I don't think denmark has any moral high ground while holding greenland as a colony.

That is basically NATO propaganda to convince people it's ok to stop paying for healthcare because we need to buy weapons, so that guys like Crosetto can become even richer.

Is it true? No.

Also air force is not so useful and we are spending insane amounts into that.

Source for this obviously false statement?

You will get riots and looting long before "under a month".

That's your personal choice. Doesn't mean stores don't accept cash.

You are entirely right. And apparently if you go to jail they place you in denmark so you can't receive visits.

Yes greenland is a colony. But I don't think that making them USA's colony would improve their situation… see how the natives of guam or hawaii are doing for example.

And? Remember when all coops closed for a few days due to a ransomware to some USA company?

The entire nation is held hostage by very few people basically.

I think in italy telegram is 2nd to whatsapp

The USA senate is another example of something that is not democratic. 2 people per state regardless of population is kinda questionable.

Because USA sends their ambassadors to threaten you if think the free market is free and decide to no longer buy from them.

There are still numerous little issues.

But the default is to just use / no? So you did not trust them.

Where do you think docker containers are installed?

> Among my disagreements was at replying to someone who said managers who change requirements due to AI should be shot and killed in the upcoming “revolution”

Perhaps ask the AI to figure out quotes from humorist books for you?

> However it is very often I am not given the same courtesy in return

Having read your comments. No, you are incredibly dismissive of research and experiences and just treat your own feelings as an irrefutable mathematical proof.

Try asking a friend for their opinion on your commenting style if you don't believe me.

It does not. That old sound blaster had more input channels than your dongle.

They just save more money not hiring the cashier.

That is only your feeling, I can only guess that you have a somewhat irrational love for AI and refuse to see the rationality of other people and just brush them away as "they are irrational h8r".

But all of your comments seem to be dismissive of other people's opinions.
