@EvaFornet Again: "Everyone uses this phrase, not only waiters." I've also personally used this phrase a lot when working in a bar.

The 'cultural profile' (man married to a member of the Swedish Academy and whose behavior sparked the controversies that led to the Nobel Prize in literature not being awarded this year) has just been sentenced to 2 years in prison for rape. The sentence will be appealed.

@Loukas_RS It could also be a variant of "I hope it is to your liking", which makes sense.

@Loukas_RS That's my thinking as well, and then when we take time to start breaking them down it's funny how odd many of them are.

@EvaFornet I'm not expressing a view of waiters, but a view of language. Everyone uses this phrase, not only waiters.
In Sweden café staff will hand you the order with the phrase:
"Hope it tastes." (Hoppas det smakar.)
Of course it will taste something! But even if they said "Hope it tastes _good_", it's like "I have no idea what I'm doing so I hope it tastes good."
Anyway, enjoy your day! 😀
To clarify, since the misinterpretation happened: I am poking fun at Swedish language (and really social phrases in general), I am not poking fun at waiters. It's a phrase used in all manners of Swedish life when offering something edible/drinkable.
I'd be a ducking hoot on the witness stand.
– Could you tell me what happened on the night of the burglary?
– Well, I could, but first let me start by telling you how the brain works...

@Peter_Carrot @euroia Tyvärr inte, det var en 4h workshop så skulle vara tungt att titta på också 😀

@amjec Ha, now I’m realizing this is likely a significant contributor driving me to become a freelancer.

@amjec True, this is probably an indicator that I've never had that experience, only the "oh my god we managed to sell them X at this price, boy are we gonna make loads of money!". I am just so not driven by money 😂
I don't want to be in that situation at an agency where people are celebrating because they signed a new, profitable deal. I want to celebrate when I can contribute to other people's well-being and growth. But I also acknowledge this contribution is not necessary to be of value.
What I'd probably like to say is, celebrate your own wins. And celebrate your small wins, no matter how small they seem, to remind yourself how often you are winning. I find that a cup of tea and a book are a nice celebratory ritual.

@catarina_nyberg @Hilaryonline Agree. As with all tools I don’t blame design thinking - it can be used for good and bad. The mistake is trusting it to always do good. When it comes to research I also see very few examples where it is truly made part of the design process, often only clamped onto the front.
Hey #euroia18 peeps! Thank you everyone for a lovely time in Dublin. As promised here are my workshop slides and also a PDF version of my workbook for anyone and everyone to use as you please. Hope to see you soon again! @euroia

@krenaud Agree. I would expect intervention before that trend continues. Their population density is already very high.
What if design thinking itself is contrary to inclusive design?
”Design thinking privileges the designer above the people she serves, and in doing so limits participation in the design process.”
