Not really no. We have district heating, plus my computer runs quite often. I have the same cover/bedding year around. That and we have properly isolated houses, since it does get cold outside. It does backfire a bit during summer though. Especially nowadays. Most people install air conditioners now, which was unheard of 20 years ago.
It doesn't rally have anything to do with the winter, so yeah, kinda is. Unless you're outside first, then coming in for that cozy feeling, them why would it matter if it was winter or not?
Could also be the fact that green day makes halfway decent music on occasion. Bad Bunny sounds exactly like everything that i hate about new pop. The vocals sound pitch corrected, together with the projection of "i don't even wanna be here"-muted nasally fronted singing.
There are plenty of hunters that have them in Sweden. In fact when they tried to ban the AR-15, there was serious backlash from the association of Swedish hunters. I think it mainly affected the right wing party in government as they were imposing the ban on their constituents.
The ban was discussed after the mass shooting in Örebro 2025, where the shooter used an AR-15.
I dont really know where i stand on the issue anymore. Since you need to be a licensed hunter and register the gun, most precautions are met. i don't really see a difference between one semi-automatic rifle and another either. I guess i don't think they should be banned in sweden, as it would appear that we were able to have them for decades without incidents. Given that the rules are in place and registration is mandatory.
Why the hell do you immediately think of slavery? You don't force people to do anything. If you need work done, you pay people to do it. Obviously.
So just capitalism then. But with extra steps.
And since workers have a guaranteed income to fall back upon, employers have no choice but to pay a fair wage. That's the entire point.
No..? The ones that work to produce would control the supply and the prices would reflect it. Kind of like that other system that starts with c.
Seriously, if you want to understand UBI, there are whole studies available online for your reading pleasure. There are dozens of books on the subject.
I've read plenty of articles about it, not sold on it. Was curious if anyone had any way to sell it. You just present it as capitalism, which i suppose is one way to do it. Though I would argue that people would stop doing necessary jobs, since they no longer need to work.
But the fantasy of universal income is too farfetched. Who will produce the food? Are we to collectively agree that we take turns on producing the food?
I sure as hell don't want that, and there lies the core issue. How do you force people to do things that they don't want to do?
Lol, these downvotes. Explain the system instead. How do you propose to force people?
Uhm. Most animals live by the grace of chance and circumstance. Barely getting enough to sustain life.
I think I understand what you're trying to say, but you can't seriously think that pre-industrial age people were sitting around and doing nothing? Post-industrial age came with an explosion of people to match the new amount of resources. If we don't produce the resources then people die.
Do you want a simpler life or an easier life? Those are two very different things.
Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn't trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.
If you say you like the winter, but you don't like the winter, what would you call it other than hypocrisy?
