The 23rd is the day before Christmas. We celebrate the eve here in the Nordics. The 25th is the relaxing day after Christmas when you eat leftovers and do fuck all all day.

Thanks, I’ve done this. Cleared all the drains several times, and the kitchen fan/sucky thing. That one was really gross so we thought might have been the source but alas.

There’s no such thing here, to my knowledge. Why would you be ashamed of shopping at a certain store?

That happens. Feels like most climate related things that aren’t disasters is greenwashing so it’s not an infeasible conclusion to jump to.

I legit never understood that one myself. I think it’s a mix of laws that make it infeasible.

Game machines are not allowed to be an establishments main source of income. This I think is targeted at gambling machines, slots and the like, because gambling is heavily regulated by the state, but naturally that also made arcades nigh impossible to run.

I believe there’s also some sort of law about the amount of such machines an establishment may have. Again, to prevent casino type establishments from existing. You can’t really run an arcade hall with two or three machines.

Then a more recent law enforces such machines to also give you a receipt? I dunno I didn’t read too closely, but I suppose machines of that kind don’t tend to have that sort of functionality meaning if you wanted to have an arcade hall here you’d need to custom order the machines.

It’s just not economically feasible.

And the most ridiculous thing is that while there’s not much in the way of physical gambling here, there are so many internet casinos I can’t properly convey how ridiculous it is. Like imagine an incredulous amount and it’s still more than that.

And the government is perfectly okay with that. They’re such incompetent buffoons.

Yes, and my go to Chinese restaurant had two slot machines. They can have these things but they can’t be the primary income of the establishment.

Ergo no casinos or arcade halls, but blackjack at a bar is fine.
