Denying the holocaust during a white house press conference on the day of a Jewish holiday is certainly an interesting new low.

I saw an article today where Donald Trump was the President of the US. Stretching believability a bit too much, I would say. Haw, haw.

I could be bothered, this time:

Is that a movie about make up?

That's one terrible cartoon.

That Justice League trailer is like a guy in a midlife crisis trying to look badass on a skateboard and then breaking his hip.

I know but I can't be bothered.

Alien: Isolation Just a resolution test. Edit:The forums reduce the size so, no go. This should be 6880x2880.

The whole AHCA voting situation is amusing. Republicans have railed against Obamacare for what are now 8 years or something. They now control the House, the Senate and Presidency, and yet they can't repeal Obamacare. This is almost as big a failure as losing an election against Trump.

All I can personally say is that I didn't pay any extra fees for the original game when I got it. I also got the signed copy so my box probably had to pass through the US originally. Additionally, I don't remember anyone on the forums complaining about paying extra customs fees, but my memory may be faulty on that. I also assume that, at this point, unless Obsidian is certain the same company(ies?) will be used for international deliveries, how international shipping will be handled isn't set in stone yet, so Obsidian might not have a definite answer to give yet. I'm a volunteer mod by the way. Edit: Forgot about Paradox. Paradox is the publisher, and they're based in Sweden so there shouldn't be any reason for you to pay extra fees if you are within the EU.

Democracy is of course a populist concept but plenty of stuff is not populist. Often the truth is not too populist, for instance. "Hey, we promise to spend extra money to change public schools for the better but you'll only know for sure that this is a good idea 10 to 20 years down the line. Vote for me." "Hey we're gonna divert a sizeable portion of the taxes you pay to fight a vague environmental threat that won't affect you much but will definitely threaten the lives of your grandchildren or at least the lives of someone else's billions of grandchildren. Vote for me." "Hey, I promise I will work hard to make your lives better, but my policies won't change diddly squat in the next 4 years. However my policies should improve your life marginally 6 to 8 years from now. In 10 years though is when things start to get really better unless, of course, you elect someone who has a different idea about governing, in the mean time. Vote for me."

For some insane reason giving away free money is not populist in the US. Bootstraps demagoguery and whatnot. Outside the US giving away money is totally populist, though. Keeping your country safe from foreigners is also populist, however. It's not an either/or situation.

Is that a picture of a printout of a facebook comic?

I don´t know, but wouldn't a significant percentage of that be a bunch of people punching themselves in the face?

Valsuelm specifically said things were safer and freer 100 years ago, not that things should be better they are now. That improvement is currently required would brook no argument from anyone, I'd say. To say that things are worse now than before regarding safety and freedom is patently silly, be it 30, 50, 70 or 100 years ago. Relevant:

Don't think they're exactly no-go, but they're hostile to the police, and have become a lot more hostile thanks to Obama's demagoguery and lies. Europe didn't have them though until mass migration. So the causes are different but the result is the same, ethnic-cultural enclaves hostile to the society at large. That is not true.

Tiny Trump is a great meme although I still haven't figured out how they photoshop the whole body whilst keeping the original hand size.

Some Swedish women are smokin' hot brunettes wearing hijab.

Note that I'm Portuguese, and I've been living in Sweden for less than a year.

Strangers will soon be speaking to each other on buses and all hell will break loose. Also, people will stop eating surströmming.

As always there will always be some fringe nutters, mostly on the internet, complaining about the immigrants, drug crimes, murders and rapes. Most people are more or less in favour of receiving some refugees, it's more of a question how many in total, depending on the country's ability to withstand the influx. and how many when compared to the rest of Europe. Refugees aren't a new thing in Sweden. Iranians, Lebanese came here in the late 70s/early 80s, Yugoslavians in the early 90s, middle easterners in more recent years. For instance, there are a few Iranians among my colleagues, I usually have lunch that a Bosnian owned place, and there are kebab restaurants all over Sweden. When I lived here back in 1998, there was some focus in the news about drug crime and juvenile delinquency among immigrants from the Balkans. Nowadays no one talks about them. That's not to say that aren't some problems with criminality here in Sweden. There's some ghettoization going on, quite a few of the immigrants clearly aren't interested in integrating or learning the local culture, and crime statistics are going to skew immigrant. Most crimes come from the poorest sectors of society, stop the presses. Also, I've been to the poorest, most dangerous parts of Gothenburg and, as someone familiar with criminality and slums in Lisbon, Swedes don't know how good they have it. As usual in first world countries, most people have no idea how safe their lives really are. Spoiler: Really, really safe. The younger kids, however, are still going to school, are still integrating and fusing with the local youth culture. "Swedish" will mean less and less what it meant 50 or 60 years ago, but what else is new? Culture changes and has always changed and it isn't all that important if the purity of the culture is maintained, especially when cultural purity doesn't exist.

That was in 2015. The system never did collapse, although huge delays became the norm in a bunch of state departments. In the the mean time, the numbers of asylum seekers coming to Sweden have already diminished significantly. https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/About-the-Migration-Agency/Facts-and-statistics-/Statistics.html According to the migration service in Sweden 2015 was the peak when over 160000 refugees requested asylum. That's double the 2014 number. In 2016 the number fell to 30000. Unless something new happens, in 2017 the number of refugees should continue to decrease.
