Do you have some numbers on that?

Yes, and so do you. Sweden actually does have a statistics bureau. And they do make statistics. They just wrap them up real discreet. Native swedes are becoming a minority in Malmø, the third largest city in Sweden, and apparently home turf for one of the Brussels bombers.

Scientists agree that 100% of terrorists come from earth. What are we going to do with that information, now?

Skype has something similar back in 2005. You could ring random person and have a chat. I dont understand obsession about Sweden. It is expensive country in decline with high crime. There are better places in Europe.

Lived there in 2012 for 6 months. What an amazing country, probably the best place in Europe to have a family. Stockholm is one of the most beautiful and safest capitals in the world.

As a Swede currently living in California who also has visited IKEA in several different countries I can report that the general experience of visiting IKEA is pretty much as stressful and disorienting here as in Sweden. There are some local variations in the product portfolio both due to different standards like in bed sizes and kitchen and cultural differences. You cannot find a cheese slicer in my nearest IKEA and…

The Swedes are using cheese slicers too? I always thought the Dutch were the only people in the world to use cheese slicers.

I've always had one in England but most people who encounter it have no idea what it's for, so they're not exactly common place.

How does that twitter profile switching work technically. Is there actual shadow account support available to Pro Twitter accounts?

"Here you go, the password is bfGeAgwRHU5bwMNd." Some technical problems don't need technical solutions.

So there is some kind of 2fa that prevents whover has the account that week from changing the password and email?

Danes do too.

The Swedish left has gone completely off the rails, to the point where merely addressing a demographic shift gets you accused of spreading "racist propaganda". When the Swedish authorities cover up mass sexual assaults because they were committed by a particular group, that's not propaganda, that's just good work - we wouldn't want those imaginary SS divisions to take advantage of such inconvenient realities.

This whole issue appears to be virtually unknown outside Scandinavian circles - and to some degree inside Sweden, whose print and broadcast media are to all intents and purposes heavily censored. I had a Swedish girlfriend for a while. She moved to Denmark, where I live. And within a month changed her entire outlook on the demographics of her native land. It is actually getting serious. Artists are jailed for their w…

It's Denmark that's the outlier. By far the least welcoming to foreigners (i.e. "racist") of all Western countries. Source: Max Fischer, Washington Post (https://twitter.com/Amazing_Maps/status/691025214952624128)

Hej Hej! I spent 4 months (in the dead of winter) consulting in Stockholm Sweden and it has a special place in my heart. I meet some great people... Some from just posting in reddit /stockholm.

Highly recommend visiting, if you can, go during June (end) for midsummer. I was there Dec - March, it was damn cold.
