It's because Frederiksberg is a separate municipality of Copenhagen. 

 

The red part is the Municipality of Copenhagen and the white/gray part is the Municipilaty of Frederiksberg

But I thought they just combine it to Hovdstaden (cmiiw)? So today there's no more "Frederiksberg Municipality" and "Copenhagen Municipality"?

Well the two municipalities are part of Hovedstaden, and the two municipalities still exist. Hovedstaden is also the name of 1 of our 5 five regions, and Region Hovedstaden is MUCH bigger.

@heywoodu It's some "interesting" people living in the Netherlands? 

 

A 69-year-old entrepreneur in the Netherlands wants to legally change his age to 49 so he can go back to work and meet more women on Tinder, according to his lawsuit.

The self-proclaimed positivity guru argued that he feels 20 years younger, and compared the age difference to being transgender, despite the concepts being completely different.

"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age? Nowhere are you so discriminated against as with your age," he told De Telegraaf.

Ratelband argued that he is a "young god" and said changing his age would allow him to "live differently," saying he would get more matches on Tinder if he could use a younger age.

Wise lesson: never in your life take Emile Ratelband seriously :p (even if he is serious)

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Ah now I understand, I realized basically we were taught incomplete information in school.

 

Thank you

Noted. He's not even from Amsterdam, but what I read, he sounds like someone who has smoked something at a coffeeshop. :p

So people from Netherlands' "bible belt" do the same. :yikes:

Nah, people/youth in this part of the country isn't really known for smoking a lot of weed.

 

Spoiler

They're more known for XTC and stuff like that :evil:

Billedresultat for the more you know gif

Although to be fair, it is completely insane XTC has such a big tabboo on it and is actually illegal. Smoking tobacco kills thousands and thousands of people a year here, alcohol kills thousands and thousands of people a year, XTC kills...7-8 people a year (in the Netherlands), yet you can get your cigarettes and alcohol in basically every supermarket, but XTC - the stuff of which the main effect is basically that you become one big happy hugging machine - is illegal.

 

XTC is actually ranked very low in terms of danger, way under tobacco, alcohol, a ton of different kind of drugs and even weed :p
