Guilty Pleasures, part 2It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.
What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

In short... No.Unemployed people have "A-Kassa", the "dole" if you will. It will give you 80% of the wage you had before you became unemployed. ... This obviously has a ceiling... but you can afford to life in a fairly decent flat and run a car on it.
Education is the next step: If you fail to get work, you get free education to make yourself more desirable to employers.
However.. there isn't the same culture of people who don't bother to work because they get money for free. The vast majority of people without work are seeking employment.
The vast majority of Swedes attain high levels of education, with many staying in Uni until they're 26 or so.
Most "McJob" employees here have degrees... It's all rather humbling.
