Who says she started the shenanigans now?

I beg to differ. People who start with that level of aggression combined with that lack of actual content rarely bring solutions to the table.

I'm all for reducing consumption (pretty easy for me, because I hate buying things), but people still need things from time to time. I'm also all for judging a company by their values, but I would like to point out that you're the first one to mention size.

The original post was talking about preferring local business, which is often correlated with size but sometimes not. The comment I responded to was suggesting local business be rejected by virtue of being a business, which I didn't find particularly helpful without a suggestion for alternatives.

You never gave any alternative, and still haven't. It's starting to look like you don't have one.

Best to just give it all to the same billionaire, then.

I'm not super tuned into the Norwegian tech market anymore, but the solitude and nature part should be very feasible. Even Norwegian cities are small and close to nature.

There seems to be some open positions, a lot of them in government agencies at first glance. Here's a search for "architect", half of which appears to be software and the other half construction:

I couldn't easily narrow it down more, because some of these positions hardly mention software, and the ones which do use wildly inconsistent words for it.

I came across the English version of Knausgård's "Min Kamp" yesterday, and it was translated as "my struggle" as well. In that context "struggle" made sense.

I'm starting to think "fighting for women is a class struggle" makes the most sense, but it certainly isn't nearly as catchy.

It feels like "trans rights are human rights" has a similar vibe with a different demographic, but we want more than just rights for women.

Yeah, German speakers tend to learn Norwegian really fast, and with virtually no accent. I've met people who could be mistaken for a native speaker in six months. The only people who have an easier time are the Dutch.

You'd think the Swedish and Danish would have an easier time, and they certainly understand it easier, but they always end up with a heavy accent. A lot of them simply keep speaking their own language since the Norwegians understand most of it.

Norwegian spells it "slutt", so not quite.

I don't know if two qualifies as "a lot", but I guess it is a significant proportion of Scandinavian languages.

"Kamp" is more akin to "battle" than "struggle" in energy. I would translate "kvinnekamp" as "fighting for women", but you can't really translate "klassekamp" in the same way, so you lose symmetry.

The best I can come up with on the spot is "Fighting for women is a class fight".

"Boys join frats. Men join PROTESTS."

Love it.

The UK is way ahead when it comes to banning speech. So the knowledge transfer can go both ways!
