First thing that comes into my mind when thinking of this concept is middle-aged, post wall women, very often after drinking too much but still also frequent enough when sober.
Ask actual janitors/cleaners which public toilet they prefer cleaning, the answer is almost universally the guys toilet.
Ask male barstaff which kind of venue causes the most disruptions and inappropriate behaviour, the answer is almost universally hen parties.
You can then do the same and ask the staff of gay bars which the same women will still crash those places.
Public services despise Karen types and a combination of alcohol plus society treating them with kiddy gloves means constant abuse and harassment from them that rarely if ever gets addressed.
Lol, I just had a Swedish girl this morning try the “because I’m a woman” approach to demanding first dibs on something (not important what. We both paid for it), even though I was there first…
I just laughed and walked away. She just sighed and moaned.
Not middle-aged, but looked exactly like the type of girl you would expect to do that (glasses, bullring). Just thought it was rather amusing…
I ain’t giving you priority just coz you’ve got tits, love. 🖕🏻
Also, for the non-Nordic people out there, like me...
Sweden doesn't really have personal/private laundries, like is the expected norm in most Western countries. Unless you're very wealthy, you just don't.
Living in a house, rather than an apartment, is unusual. Even in small towns. Therefore everyone is relying on these shitty communal laundries in their apartment buildings, and fighting over one or two machines for hundreds of people.
Because laundries are seen as "luxury items". As are cars. As are houses. As are fucking enclosed showers (i.e. not just a wet room).
But no public laundromats either. Because that would mean a) cash, and b) having to potentially talk to strangers, both of which are anathema to the "Swedish condition", in modernity...
This is a very fucking strange place, I gotta say. Like, fuck, you think Western Europe is "foreign"..? Try living here.
The 1970s (when "socialism" first came here, and the government began seizing property and demolishing private houses) have so much to answer for, in this stupid country...
Any country where windowless bedrooms (technically illegal in pretty much all Anglo countries, including the US) are not just legal, but encouraged, is no "socialist utopia", whatever the propaganda may say...

Today I learnt that I was very wealthy :D, More seriously though you are not wrong in regards to most apartment blocks got this communal laundry mat. But in later years this has been moving away to some extent and even some apartments due to the problems with modern culture has been upgrade to have it inside.
Still private laundries are nowhere to be found. And yes cash is almost not used by the old people these days and we are pushing the digital ID.
Example of communal laundry there was another video someone linked with example of the system (Government monopoly on alcohol) among other things.

You want to have the privacy to evade the quarrel created by the booking and usage of the communal laundry, it also helps against people throwing nades into your window xD
Slight rant, but I hate the communal laundry system... It is the dumbest, most open-to-abuse thing I have seen in a long time...
Allows for ridiculous shit like the bitch from yesterday booking out six hours over the course of two days, and then deliberately only using half the laundry for a brief time, but still complaining that someone impinged upon "her booking" (because again, I got there first, and I was finishing up when she arrived), and then to still fuck with everyone else (like she did with my washing), and keep her stuff in the dryer all afternoon...
Because unfortunately that's the reality of human interaction, and a system like this (plus not knowing your neighbours, because Sweden) opens the whole thing up to obvious abuse...
It feels, no offence, but very Swedish, to me. To just assume that a system like this will work, because "people respect each other" and "that's just how it is". And then to sweep it under the carpet when the "system" breaks down, ugh...
I had an ex who lived in an apartment building with the same system, in Sydney, but that was probably only 20-30 people sharing, so it was slightly less crazy. But yeah, even that experience, of staying with her, was enough to put me off the whole idea, lol.
I really don't understand why the garbage room is locked up, but the laundry is just open to the whole building like that. That's bizarre, to me.
It's kind of more like the opposite, in Aus, for the most part, tbh.

Yes, most sweden system operate with expectations of human behavior that I am certain is not followed, although it was more followed before the new culture came aboard.
And as I said before sweden was inspired by and adored the CCP and as you correctly point out such system requires people to know each other which is alteast in the modern swedish culture very disconnected.

Most modern communal laundry system ensure that the booked time it is locked for the rest of residents, this does not however improve the situation of scrambling for time other ways to abuse the system.
One positive thing I will say, though, is that people massively exaggerate how bad winter is, here (at least in Svealand and south of here. I haven't been particularly far north, sadly).
Like, if this country just embraced Winter more, and didn't attempt to hide from it/close everything for most of the day (lol at 11:00 to 16:00 opening hours), then it really wouldn't be that bad.
The weather is not the problem, IMHO... It's the weird fear of winter that is more "problematic", I feel. At least once you get used to the early sunset, which took me... Maybe one month, to adjust?
But yeah, maybe the "winter is coming" fear made sense for a culture of agrarian people, but not when you live in a city of a few hundred thousand, lol.
I will admit that it was incredibly depressing living out in "proper" rural Sweden for a while, when it started to get dark and cold. So I get that bit I guess. That sucked.
Yea, the southern winter ain't so bad, its worse up north.
Tbh, this fear of winter is not something I have encountered much, then again perhaps its part of the small town behavior.
I will admit that it was incredibly depressing living out in "proper" rural Sweden for a while, when it started to get dark and cold. So I get that bit I guess. That sucked.
Well, it ain't so bad if you got a fireplace, some good books and full pantry, hehe. But more serious yea the winter is the time were people seems to be more willing to stay home rather than venture out much.
Hopefully you find the city winter life to be better and miss the modern new year celebrations xD.
I can certainly attest to royally hating having a bedroom with a window facing East. Turns your room into a sauna at 7 or 8 AM until maybe the early afternoon, and without some really strong shades your room will turn into the brightest light show just about every morning.
Sounds like camping in Australia, in about six months of the year...
Almost literally impossible to sleep past 6:30am, ha. Great if you want to get up for a hike - not so good if you've been drinking around the campfire, or you're at a festival, from extensive experience, lol.
But yeah, we don't generally build with East-facing windows, for exactly this reason.
Aye, trying to sleep in with that room was pretty awful. And playing any PC games that use a hefty amount of your hardware would just add more fuel to the inferno, piling on the heat even more.
Update to this: This is a communal laundry situation (unfortunately).
Bitch followed up by taking my wet, not-yet-fully-washed clothes out of the washing machine, dumping them, and writing me a passive-aggressive note saying that next time she would throw my clothes away, for "disrespecting her", which she left on top of the clothes...
Amazing. Extraordinary levels of entitlement. And this was after I tried to help, this morning, by warning her that one of the dryers in said communal laundry wasn't working properly...
Actual definition of "nasty woman". What no sex and 50 years of hardcore feminism disguised as "equality" does to a mofo, I suppose.
But still, wow...
You just don't usually experience that level of sheer pettiness in similar situations in Aus. In general. That's a cultural thing, and it's nasty...

So she was dumb enough to leave evidence of what she just did to you. Use it.
But Wendi McLendon-Covey, who’s anchored the long-running ABC sitcom for 10 seasons, is more than happy to be rid of her costar Jeff Garlin—who left the show in 2021 after a series of HR investigations.
Garlin played Murray Goldberg, husband of McLendon-Covey’s Beverly and the patriarch of the Goldberg clan, before leaving the show mid-season in December of 2021.
Doesn't really matter. It's just helpful to know sometimes when reading an article that isn't contemporary.
There's quite a few less than mediocre shows on network TV that just seem to go on for fucking ever.
Not exactly a new trend either, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's become more common in recent years. Network and broadcast TV in general is essentially on life support, with terminal death somewhere on the horizon.
Side note: "Hollywood" ruined this poor girl (and her family, by the sounds. There are three sisters - all actresses), from said show.
This is the before (although she's already had some work done here, including teeth and completely changing her hair - colour, style, et al (RIP redheads) - https://archive.is/kU1gf
The site is trash, yes, but it's surprisingly hard to find before pictures...
Just another cyborgian freakazoid narcissist with too much money, and too little sense. She's had everything done, now. Like Dove Cameron, or Erin Moriarty, or any of these other generic "washed out' blonde lookalikes. There's clearly something in the water at DC Films, unfortunately (all three have acted in DC series)...
Sad, IMHO. She was damn cute, before.
I believe that when they brought her back for a guest appearance on said shit show, they almost had to completely rewrite her character, because she bears virtually no resemblance whatsoever to her former self, lol. It was rather uncanny...
As the other comment says, probably "post-wall women" in general...
She genuinely seems like a nasty piece of work. She always has. And extremely thin-skinned, too. Anytime anyone would say anything even remotely critical of that show on, say, Twitter, she would be out attacking them and even threatening legal action...
Also odd that she went from "star" of said show to one of the head writers, by the end, so perhaps she got rid of Garlin as some sort of "rival" or "threat" to her star power...
Who fucking knows, honestly.
Oh, they're both Jews, btw, for the people in the back. At least, I believe so. I mean, it's "The Goldbergs". I think that's pretty much a given, at this point...

a man not staring at his feet and not doing exactly as he is told is bad and evil and he will be punished.
This article is from March 2023. Garlin left the show in 2021.
And holy fuck, The Goldbergs ran for 10 seasons?
Yeah, I know. Guess I should have tagged it as “Old”.
I think he left in 2022, though. Like halfway through the season or some shit…
But yeah, 10 seasons, though it stops being actually watchable without becoming pure cringe around… Season 6, or 7. After that it… Never recovered.
Should really have ended when the grandfather died (IRL, George Segal of course), but anyway…
Doesn't really matter. It's just helpful to know sometimes when reading an article that isn't contemporary.
