    There are no hard immigration laws in Denmark. The net migration per year is 30.000 people - around 0.7% of the ethnic Danish population. If this keeps up we will eventually become a minority in our own country, as it has already happened in many parts of Copenhagen.

    I think the talking about the weather thing has to be a shallow Copenhagener regional thing because it's never been relevant where I live except maybe as a greeting, and even then it's kinda rare. I lived for a while in the Netherlands in my youth and they did often mention the weather, which was absolutely baffling to me.

    The clothes thing is not gas lighting. Who's fault is it that you are cold and not wearing warm clothes? By the way, clothes are overrated, inflated by those who want to sell you clothes. They make it seem like it's important, culturally. Just like preachers! But it is in fact only what you make of it. Just like uniforms! Just like Hitler was only popular, because of all the other a-holes at the time. Fashion is lemming plus Goebbels plus hi-tech plus capitalism plus religion in disguise. Woke the fact up, bro'sisters!

    I love the Danish weather! When I was young, I hated it. But it grows on you, and you may get to love it! The sad, soggy and wet most-of-the-time makes for an almost insane joy when it stops for even a few days, where then the wind obviously sets in and makes you want to climb under a mountain and light up! I took my bicycle and turned it away from said wind, in the sunny spring days we now enjoy! Sit back, let the eastern wind ease you out west, experience the light green surroundings and the many, many bicycle lanes that let you escape the concrete and the abstract of the city, and hear the birds, see the butterflies, hug the trees and pretend that you're just measuring their size like an old time body builder coach on steroids. Then park the bike and rest your sore bum on a bench, and try to unwind, 'cause you won't want it all to get lost or just pass you by without you knowing it. Then really try! It's hard to derive anything from any moment except "What do I do next?" or "Why am I thinking about money right here, where no one is selling or buying anything?" But try again, and some silly bird flirts with your ears, and you know you're almost there!

    It is not an attempt to gaslight or put you on the spot when danes say: No such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. It’s more in the direction of, no point in complaining about something you have no control over. My mom used to say that to me and my brothers growing up. Including the early years where she would dress us. So that would be gaslighting your own children. But even if theres no point to complaining about it, we still do. A favorite passtime for danes is complaining. To the degree where - if you don’t complain about something, are you really danish? 😂 Thing about week numbers … in my experience it’s mostly used if you’re employed in any sort of public capacity … teachers, doctors and nurses, civil servants a.o. Not so much in the private sector. I’ve lived 61 years now … and I have never gotten used to scheduling according to week number. Only week I know with certainty is winterbreak is _always_ week 7. And week 26 is around midyear or sommin’. 😂
