Now they've brought the carcasses, all skinned, and are cutting out the meat. It actually looks a bit appetizing. And I know it's fresh, so perhaps there might not be a reason for bigotry against foreign cuisine... Edit: And now they've began spit-roasting two pigs. Maybe coming here wasn't...

Just saw (and heard) the staff of the restaurant I'm in slaughter two goats on the front yard. When in Rome and all that, but I'm not hungry anymore.

I'm Finnish and I'm out of toilet paper, so the government should come and bring me some, and wipe my ass for me. :cry:

Somehow, I suspect this is not about a video game.

Here is something which might make a good list for me. Spoiled for choice on some years, on others it was hard to find a movie I've even seen. Particularly the last few years were difficult in that respect, as I haven't seen many movies recently. The 2014 entry is the last movie on this list...

President Trump should come to Finland.

Not given quite everything they asked for, but like 90% of everything they asked for. The Palestinians saw the generous Israeli offer as a sign of weakness, and thought they could get more. A negotiating tactic, and one that ultimately failed with the coming into power of Sharon's administration...

Finnish is easy, I picked it up when I was a small child. Besides, you need to speak Finnish only if you want a good chance of finding a job. Now, you don't have to have one anymore.

Free Cash in Finland. Must Be jobless.

On an episode of Poirot I first thought I had misheard, but no: TIL there is an actual food dish called Spotted Dick. Though perhaps a bit juvenile, the joke potential is obvious.

A conversation from a few days ago. Mom "You have to eat some of this cake, it'll spoil in a couple of days." Me "You can eat it, if there is no bread." Mom "But there is bread, if you'd like." Me "... " Mom "... I don't see Marie Antoinette here. " Points to mom. Though she doesn't always...

Agreed. However, though one might discuss the possible effects of the policies he proposes, I'm not sure Trump (or any other conservative outside possibly some ultra-fringe elements) has put mass starvation forward as a viable strategy to alleviate poverty in the United States. But based on...

I imagine social welfare programs in the US do not depend on ethnic background, so I don't see where the Dems being racist part comes from. According to my understanding, some conservatives hold the position that work is the best form of poverty reduction, in addition to having psychological...

I have so far gained 10 kg from my starting point in ~3 months. Now, if I can just break 70 kg, I might start to look like a living human being.

You actually couldn't do that in Finland either. Those loan terms (start paying the loan back at some future point, instead of regular installments starting immediately) would probably not be acceptable to the tax authorities here; they'd term your loan as a gift, and slap you with a gift tax...

Perhaps, though there might be a bit more to it than that. European defence budgets have plummeted since the 1990's, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the lack of a military threat to prepare against. During the Cold War, the military posture of European NATO members was one of all-out...

And how about those Pioneer plaques, then? Somebody actually thinks the best way to make a good first impression on strangers is to send unsolicited nude pics of ourselves, and directions to our place?

I and my two oldest friends began our annual 'ATP tour' today. Every summer we do a number of competitive events, and keep score. We call it the ATP tour because of our names (Antti, Tommi, Pasi). Today was pool and darts. Pool didn't go too well for me, I won one and lost three of my matches...

That's okay, it is perfectly fine to have your own sandbox. Different strokes and all that.

Just regular draught beer, the Finnish Sandels. It's got that smooth taste that I like. But you have to drink it cold, otherwise you get that nasty yeast-y aftertaste. And yeah, you guys were clearly better this time around, throughout the game. But hey, at least earlier this week we cut that...
