So apparently sweden may be trying something interesting? Starting to shift over and run experiments and whatnot on rolling with six hour workdays. Anyone closer to the place hear anything about this?

I wonder what it is about Sweden that makes it a country so receptive to social experiments. I'd say they're the world's human petri dish but that title belongs quite literally to Iceland. Nonetheless I am appreciative that they run headlong first, if they succeed they succeed.

I often wonder if I should be jealous of Sweden, having a government that seems to care about being sensible.

What steel beams? *whistles a tune*

You better get rid of these more permanently. I got some jet fuel if you need some, I know a guy...

Does he work on the inside?

Yes, it's an internal work, as it were. Met him through a friend of mine who used to be his co-worker, now works in gardening, specializes in grooming shrubbery. Tough business, because most people want it done on Saturdays and he refuses to work then for religious reasons.

E: I feel a distinct need to add this here: I am a shitposter disregard my opinions.

I guess you can always count on the Russians being true to their stereotype. Not that I think the Russian forumers are rowdy drunks.

In Britain we've had about 20 foreign athletes since the 2012 Olympics who used their mad sports skills to try and illegally immigrate
Personally I think they should be given citizenship if they can defeat our medalists and represent GB hahaha

Apparently one more high-speed train was stopped for several hours for security reason after someone locked himself in the toilet.

Is this a metaphor for your locked toilet thread being derailed by loud whispers high speed shitposting ?

Page 1 shitposting.

*tennis clap*

This is why Europe can't have nice things.

To be fair, most of them are saving on PTW-style empty posts. Mainiac is the only person in that chain that's posted more than once in this thread.

You mean original post shitposting right?

...no relation to any other threads whatsoever....
Rules for the thread:

• No Catalonia
• No Malvinas
• No accusing other forumites of ruining your country, even if true
• No accusing other forumites of runing their own country, even if true
• No ruining other forumites country intentionally

But in all seriousness:

• If you must shitpost, end every shitpost with "I am a shitposter disregard my opinions."
• Do not spam the thread. Spamming the thread with shitposts is twice as bad, and in an emergency will result in temporary Merkel Martial Law.
  
• Leave your steel beams by the door.
• Be calm and chill, remember to post citations to your assertions.

This qoute is the shitation for my shitpost.

A centralized Europe will be the death of innovation.

It will lock the diversity and (friendly or less friendly) rivalry that made Europe the centre of innovation for several centuries behind a big fat wall of bureaucracy.

[Sergarr]

I'm pretty sure USA has been centralized for a couple centuries already, and if you're implying that USA has experienced "death of innovation", then I've a bridge to sell.

[SirQuiamus]

And rivalry between U.S. states is what drives innovation around there? Silicon Valley is a hotbed of innovation because California wanted to beat Oregon and Arizona?

EDIT: Stupid ninja Sergarr...

Innovation in a technological sense, No. But innovation In a social economic sense? Fuck yes.

[Sheb]

SirQuiamus, actually its partly the case, when you look at sutff like state shelling hundreds of millions to try to bring spaceport within their border and so on.

Anyway, I was browsing the economist to avoid meaningful work, and I stumbled on this snippet about Sheffield signing some kind of deal with the Central government, agreeing to elect a mayor in exchange for some cash. It also mentioned that Manchester signed a deal giving the city control over health-care spending. What the hell is going on, is England turning into a confederation of city-state or what?

1) Goal post shifting.
2) I'm pretty sure that USA still has more "social economical" innovation than most of the world's countries. Africa, South America, East Asia...

The bolded bit sounds rather corrupt to me. Unless theres something wierd about English politics that I'm missing.
