While we're on the topic entertainment. This is a classic Swedish mocumentary about lonely swedish men in pursuit of a relationship partner outside our countrys borders. In this case, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The name is quite literally "Whoring in Tallinn" or "Screwed in Tallinn" in some translations. Had it been more modern it would obviously be about a trip to Bangkok or something like that. But it was made in 1999 so I digress.

So, as this is kind of turning into the general Scandinavian thread (or at least it is my understanding that a new thread will), it seems the Norwegian government have said that they will not apply to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in Oslo.
It's a matter that's been going on for quite a while. The idea has been popular and championed by various Norwegian sports and athletic associations as well as the Conservatives (Høyre) in Oslo where roughly 50% have been positive to the idea, whereas outside the capital people have really been very much against it, mostly arguing along the lines that it will be massively expensive and the money can be better spent elsewhere, compounded by the fact that everything done in Oslo usually ends up massively delayed and over budget, there's also people in general not liking the IOC for being a bunch of corrupt assholes.

So there's that, not really all that interesting, but it's something.

e: Seems they also demanded that the government foot the bill for a cocktail party with the king amongst many other demands such as complete control over ads displayed in the city.

its in the dialect of trøndelag. In written bokmål that would be "med standpunkt til sin stand," and it roughly translates to "(the workers) having taken a stance towards their social standing." They know what their work is actually worth.

Nynorsk is actually not a dialect, it is exclusively a written language :eng101:
Norwegian has two written variants, bokmål which was based on the spoken Danish-Norwegian hybrid of the middle and upper class, mostly from the south east and particularly from Oslo. Nynorsk as a written language is an approximate mix of the dialects of rurual Norwegians, created by a priest and teacher (Ivar Aasen) who travelled around to study the dialects of ordinary people and create a Norwegian written language. Both were created in the nationbuilding environment of the 19th century.

Here's a map over usage, blue is Nynorsk, red is Bokmål, grey is neutral.


Use of Nynorsk has been steadily declining, though the official TV and radio stations are required to have a certain portion of content in Nynorsk to keep it going, Bokmål is much more heavily used and is what is written most frequently in the 3 largest cities (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim). The language issue "Målsaken" is a frequent political issue in Norway, where the proponents of Nynorsk are passionate about keeping it alive against the onslaught of Bokmål, and many people are against it because they don't like it and can't really write it and they can get a lot of support from young people who are against it pretty much simply because it is part of your grade in Norwegian in high school. You also have many (mostly upper class) people in Western Oslo and Akershus who absolutely loathe Nynorsk and actually prefer a form of old Bokmål, called Riksmål, which is essentially Danish.

In the '50s the Labor Party attempted to end the language issue by combining Bokmål and Nynorsk into a simple language called Samnorsk (similar to what is often called "Radical Bokmål"). This was a spectacular failure and met with resistance from both proponents of Nynorsk (though serious attempts at introducing Samnorsk were not really done in those parts of the country) and, especially, parents in Oslo who took to protesting and correcting their children's textbooks so they would not learn to speak like peasants and communists.

e: Also many of the dialects of Trøndelag, particularly in the north of that region, are normally depicted as almost completely incomprehensible to other Norwegians because of their tendency to "talk inwards", quickly and mumble like crazy. I think Vømmøl are from Nord-Trøndelag, but at least the way they sing is generally mercifully understandable to most. Also note that Trøndelag is mostly neutral in regards to written language or they use Bokmål. There is a relation between your dialect and the written language you are likely to use, but your spoken language may be very different from how you write either way.

Morgan Johansson (S) - justitieminister
Anders Ygeman (S) - inrikesminister

Peter Hultqvist (S) - försvarsminister
Annika Strandhäll (i dag ordförande i fackförbundet Vision) - socialförsäkringsminister
Gabriel Wikström (S) - folkhälsa-, sjukvård- och idrottsminister
Åsa Regnér (tidigare bland annat generalsekreterare för RFSU) - barn, äldre- och jämställdhetsminister
Kristina Persson (S) - strategi och framtidsfrågor samt nordiskt samarbete
Magdalena Andersson (S) - finansminister
Per Bolund (MP) - finansmarknads- och konsumentminister
Ardalan Shekarabi (S) - civilminister
Gustav Fridolin (MP) - utbildningsminister
Aida Hadzialic (S) - gymnasie- och kunskapslyftsminister
Helene Hellmark Knutsson (S) - högre utbildning- och forskningsminister
Ibarahim Baylan (S) - energiminister
Mikael Damberg (S) - närings- och innovationsminister
Mehmet Kaplan (MP) - bostads- och stadsutvecklingsminister
Anna Johansson (S) - infrastrukturminister
Sven-Erik Bucht (S) - landsbygdsminister
Alice Bah Kuhnke (MP) (generaldirektör för Ungdomsstyrelsen) - kultur- och demokratiminister
Ylva Johansson (S) - arbetsmarknadsminister.

And there was much rejoice.
Wallström, Romson, M.Johansson, Andersson, Bolund were all pretty obvious.

Interesting parts:
Note that there is no minister for immigration nor for integration. On the other hand, either position is more or less suicide on a political level so....
We are getting 3 ministers for education, Fridolin along with one for gymnasie and one for higher education/research. One was apparently not enough?
Shekarabi has a history of fraud within SSU and we will see how long he lasts.
Kaplan have said jihadists in Syria is the same thing as Swedes fighting for Sweden in the Winter War during WW2. Have connections to MB, and have been a member of SUM, an organisation that have problems not inviting antisemites and fundamentalist muslims.
Baylan was kicked sideways into energy, which is somewhat expected since he is if anything loyal to the current agenda.
Hultqvist is probably a step up from what alliansen had as minister of defence and looks initially promising.
Also, Alice Bah :stare:

Apparently this is something that is going to be handled by all ministers, which in a way is sensible since integration is dependent on people getting work and places to live.
Bonus feature for S and MP is that they won't have a minister that gets trounced by Åkesson in debates.

Another way of looking at it is that S and MP are trying to hiding away those issues by not having ministers directly responsible for it.
Which would be kinda stupid and sort of missing the point.

Back in the 90's she was pretty much the only celebrity that spoke of the (non-bonehead and nazi)racism in Sweden in media and got a *lot* of poo poo for it. Had a hidden adress and 24/7 police protection for a while. She was, as such, one of the primary targets for shitflinging from the right(including SD) up until 2001-ish or so where muslims got the majority of poo poo, even if she still got quite a bit for a number of years.

What Rukowski said on Alice Bah.

As for Kaplan, He was part of the dabate surrounding the mohammed caricatures in denmark back in 2006 aswell as having a pretty skeptic stance on Israel to put it politely. He was on one of the ships that were borded in 2010 for example. Not to mention SD's voters hate him because he is a muslim who gets to run state city planning now, they probably think he will build mosques everywhere.

I am noticing that you didn't mention either Shakarabi, Hadzialic or Baylan as part of your "gently caress you SD"?
Also, why should SD dislike Alice Bah, she is according to all of their definitions Swedish? That promotion is going to be hilarious regardless, since now a former host for children TV programs is going to be in charge of culture politics. Hmm, I wonder whether she also has been doing cocaine as another host for child TV did.

Kaplan is problematic, since he has been involved in organisations tied to MB and other anti-democratic movements, none of which are representative of muslims in general. Noteworthy is that he is MP and not S, who apparently have better internal control which the whole Omar Mustafa affair showed. S is in all likelihood better at handling entryism than MP.
