My home town in Sweden has started commissioning artists to paint murals like those in the top image on a lot of otherwise boring and ugly buildings, and I couldn't be more proud. Really makes the town beautiful and unique.

I don't think the headline is that bad. The Swedish military has known that Russia is the only real threat since before the Cold War. In the late 90s early 2000s when the government decided to remove conscription and cut spending, the military intelligence was warning that Russia was just ramping up to continue aggression, and have continued to argue the same point ever since. Our military has been specifically tailored to counter Russian aggression during this entire time period, with the goal to wear them down as much as possible using guerrilla warfare until foreign reinforcements arrive. SVT (Swedish state television) has a documentary about this, titled "Om kriget kommer", which goes into detail about how the response to Russian aggression would work.
"Oh no, this high school girl is sitting in her seat yelling mean words at me, I'd best body slam her to shut her up." In what world does this reaction make sense? The kid being disruptive is something to be brought up with her parents and teachers, not law enforcement.
Excellent news! I can browse Lemmy on my phone again, many thanks to you @Ruud and everyone else who worked on this!
Nah, it's even better. "When heart rate falls, bellow 5"
Having a relaxing moment? 5!
Falling asleep? 5!
Relaxing after a stressful moment? 5! Etc.
