_Collective entrepreneurship_. There is a difference.
No, just entrepreneurship with many equal shareholders. Unless you start demanding for special treatment and exclusion from market forces, which is usually what the communists are actually after

I do not understand, you like Elon because he says dumb shit, so you try to defend the dumb shit? How do you do that? You try to make the dumb shit look smart or you try to excuse Elon because maybe he was drunk/tired/drugged when he said that dumb shit ? When he admits it was dumb and his fans argued for hours that it was smart how do they feel?
Who doesn't say dumb shit sometimes? Why would that bother me?
I do not mean you should stop loving Elon if he says say some dumb stuff, but why should Elon fans defend dumb stuff with even more dumb arguments.

Me? You? Your proposal won't go anywhere because you won't agree with others on what is harmful and what is not.
Maybe in some groups we can achieve a consensus. Say 80% of developers at a company think that the new feature of addicting kids on some game mechanic is harmful?
I am not referring to the stupid culture war in USA, so when I suggest this I am not attacking your political opinions.

> Beyond what law? X operates worldwide and even though Elon Musk is a staunch believer in free speech, X also has to follow laws of different jurisdictions, including limitations on speech.
>> Elon Musk is a staunch believer in free speech That's just, like, your opinion, man. And I don't believe it.
It’s a very specific and weird personality type that’s constantly drawn to white knighting racists and billionaires.

News flash. Stockholm is not in southern sweden. Also Stockholm subway is famous for breaking down even if a single leave fall on the tracks.
If we have northern and southern parts then Stockholm is in the southern part.

If we have northern and southern parts then Stockholm is in the southern part.
And if we divide Sweden into southern/middle/northern, Stockholm would still end up in the southern part. ChatGPT: "Stockholm lies approximately 28.87% of the way north when considering the span from the southernmost to the northernmost points of Sweden's municipalities, based on latitude."
Swedes do not care about your conclusions as we still won't claim Stockholm is in the southern Sweden.

I never expected to have to argue with a ChatGPT prompt, lol. Swedes do not care about your conclusions as we still won't claim Stockholm is in the southern Sweden.

Feminist issues is a good example it has almost always been up to the women to fight for that, unions have been in the back seat on most of these issues until support was well above 50% in their ranks.

> Southern Sweden with 80% of the Swedish population > Stockholm is not in southern sweden Are you sure this the level of comments you are supposed to post here?
Dang it, I got nerdsniped ( https://xkcd.com/356/ ). With the help of ChatGPT, I crossreferenced two lists of all municipalities (kommuner) in Sweden to place them in an increasing latitude order (south->north), and calculated where the 80% population threshold lies. The answer is Västerås, which is a bit north of Stockholm. It is only 31.7% of the distance to the northernmost point in Sweden. So 80% of Sweden's popu…

Maybe its a Swedish thing, but most of the population live in Stockholm or south of it, so we do not call Stockholm "southern Sweden". Southern tend to mean Scania or the other south parts of the country.
But that wasn't the context in this case. I described the situation in Sweden to a person from Germany.
In that context, I think it is reasonable to call the southernmost one third of Sweden "Southern Sweden".
It will give him the correct mental image of what I meant when he looks at a map of Sweden.
