questions?

Yeah google that maybe FBI and check historical connotations

Finland is pretty fking racist.

Using the n-word won’t get you into trouble as easily as calling someone out for using it. Has been my experience, at least.

Once an old lady I was driving home from the shops (as a taxi driver) genuinely got furious at me for just refusing to use the word (she was complaining about immigrant taxi drivers, ie my then colleagues). I didn’t even criticise her use directly, I just said I won’t use such language because I think it’s racist and dehumanising and she got mad and started yelling how “you call them what they are!”. Her husband was in the car as well. Just stayed silent.

So whole economically were pretty lefties especially compared to the US, politically less so.

I would love to move and live somewhere else for a few years but can’t afford it rn.

Well one can only hope.

I don’t have much faith.

Thanks for the info.

Don’t mind me just sharing some Finnish artwork from the 20th century.

Source?

Because I’m thinking Stubb is just a lickspittle.

I’ve been telling people Finland isn’t the fucking perfect place people think it is.

We’re honestly alarmingly authoritarian and most finns have issues questioning authority.

Just ask kusimulkku@lemm.ee

They did yeah, the burning of the clinic is pretty fucking historic, and not in a good way.

But the poem doesn’t specify them, is my point. Maybe it should, but I guess it wasn’t the hot issue at the time.

I’ve dreamed of being in free-minded parties in the 1920’s Germany.

This is what something like that could look like (where I got my dreams from.)

I was born in the 80’s, I did IT bachelor’s and then print design studies which used all of the Adobe suite and I genuinely don’t understand what rotating a pdf means.

My first OS was DOS.

Edit my point is I’m sure I know how to, I just don’t know what it means

Knick knack paddy whack give the pole a caddyshack

I’m honestly not even sure where it’s from.

Also good doors are a pretty hood defense.

I know one Albanian born side who lived in NYC since he was like 2-3, so pretty much a native American. Dude told me it’s so weird how you “need two hands to open a door in Finland”.

I hadn’t thought of it, but yeah, sort of. You can open it one handed but it requires a bit of grip strength. Or sometimes you actually do require two hands, one to unlock the door and one to turn the handle.

Our locks are so good that lock picking lawyer has only picked the one that’s from like 1907. I don’t know whether anyone can pick the newer models, like even the older newer ones, like exec. And exec 2 is far more secure.

Is This Novelty Lock Better Than EVERY Master Lock?

This is a novelty lock with the 1907 patent. LPL says it’s as or more pick-resistant than any MasterLock.

This is what my door looks like. Eh. Some problem with image uploads but whatever. The guy who lived in NYC just said that “kicking down doors” really isn’t a movie thing, but that lots of apartment buildings in NYC really would have such flimsy doors you could just kick them in.

Guess we also have this because it’s weatherproofing at the same time.

“You can’t talk to or about Americans if you’re not American”

Edit my point roughly earlier being just to chat and also Americans can buy these less-lethal weapons for defense as well. Sinking a 9mm slug into someone has a very high chance to kill I’d say compared to rubber bullets even if you roar and act like the Punisher and dish them out by the dozens. So like for people who don’t want to kill other people but still seek defensive capability…? Perhaps?

No need brother, I’m Finnish.

I wear a leather jacket and have some abs so knifes won’t kill me as easy and guns are very rare in Finland. Also I do have a keychain that’s basically two finger brass knuckles and a pepper spray (which I might add is illegal in Finland). That’s honestly being somewhat highly armed for a Finn.

I didn’t used to have either but bought them a few months ago when I this junkie got mad at me for telling him the bus filled to the brim at 2pm isn’t the place to sing drunken karaoke.

I mean I could’ve prolly taken him, but I also know him from when I used to drink with my neighbour who sat like 10 years for murder, so I’d prefer not to get into a life or death situation with a person like that as either I’ll probably have to take a life or give mine and I’m not ready to give mine so…

Pepperspray should be enough to disable punks like that though without having to get physical. But you can get an assault charge for using one because you’d need a permit for one.

I do have a bow hanging by my door but the poundage is quite small.

I could legally get like a somewhat high powered air pistol. They even make like short shotgun models out of them and you can buy all sorts of nasty-ass arrows into them and the launch velocity is nothing to sniff at.

The rubber bullets would hurt, but they wouldn’t stop an assailant. But a few arrows to center mass? That could.

And I sure the steelballs, even once with rubber coating, make one think twice about approaching. But with the sawed off shotty that can be armed with arrows you only get two shots. Then there’s like basic pistol equivalents 0.43 balls 9 in a clip or smth. And a revolver and that can be loaded with sharp ammo as well. Like a tiny spike. The magazine ones don’t take those.

Shit like that.

But no-one really needs them. You know what we do for home safety? Good doors, sturdy walls and proper locks.

First they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out, because I was not trans… .

(anti-fascist poem from Germany with a modern twist)

Not many 2A defenders around these days.

“But we need it to be able to revolt in case of a fascist takeover of the government!”

They’re on a carriage that’s like pontooned at the bottom, being pulled by the horse and driver who each have their own balloons.

edit oh wait d’you mean the ones in the back right my bad dk about them

You go down a list of inventions pretty progressively, skimming the best of the last decade or two, then TV and radio… at a century or at most two.

Then you skip to currency, which is several millenia old.

Ugh, market socialism exists.

Not all socialism has planned economies. That’s communism. A specific subset of socialism.

Capitalism doesn’t have a monopoly on market economies. badumtssh

Oh I just call that the spaghetti ladle.

Pretty sure mine doesn’t have a hole that measures spaghetti.
