The term "Swedish" as used in this headline likely implies to many more than just this pedantic and America-centric definition of nationality. It's fair to bring up that point.
Swedish means from Sweden, these gangs are from Sweden, membership is pretty varied, non-native Swedes, native Swedes from different ancestral ethnicity and completely native Swedes with families being European for a long, long time...
There's no "fair to bring up that point" here, be a better Christian, not a racist one.
Do you think that's what the vast majority of people assume when reading the headline?
Context is everything here. If a headline said "Trump discovers through DNA test he's 100% Swedish," we wouldn't assume your definition of "Swedish." We'd assume it meant genetics.
And likewise, if a headline said, "If you're Swedish you're no longer allowed to own a hunting rifle," you would know pretty easily that meant a citizen of the modern country called Sweden. Because it's about law and how it applies.
In the case of this headline, it is ambiguous. It's fair to say people might assume ethnicity. It's valid to point out that it might not be the case.
There's more reason to not actively suppress talk about what "Swedish" means here: When there's a negative story, people want answers and solutions. If a headline is ambiguous about something, and clearing the ambiguity could get us closer to finding a cause, you're doing something good for everyone. If the perpetrators of the alleged crime here were your every-day indigenous ethnic Swede, you'd assume different causes and different solutions than if it were one of a new arrival from a different country, culture, and ethnicity. Maybe some solutions would be the same, but maybe (and likely) not!
What purpose is there of putting forth this one definition of "Swedish" in exclusion to the others, in the context of this headline and the commenter's pointing out of something true? It only serves to suppress thought.
Developers of simulation games could publically state what biases they put in their ruleset, and even release multiple rulesets with different biases. Maybe a rule-set editor could be included. What would my city look like if people generally put up with taxes? Or if people hated them? Or if education was a quick solution to crime, or a less guaranteed one?
I love it! A few months ago I took apart an old Roland keyboard and hooked it up to an arduino in hopes of creating a midi device. But the project become too much to handle. This seems like it could achieve what I want much quicker!
From the description it seems like I could only hope to get one octave of keyboard notes out of these... I wonder if there are any tricks you could use to get more. Or if you could chain these.
I've found that by achieving some of my life goals, I haven't reached a point where I find myself content and without any more goals, but I do notice a huge improve in my average happiness compared to years ago. I find myself content instead with the fact that I'll always have awesome new goals.
Really cool! Is this for 8-bit inspired projects only? Your "Learn More" sections says it's for any game, but it would be kinda strange to see super advanced 3d games on here.
