One way of taking human sacrifice

Indeed. My girlfriend lives there, last time I was over we went to the big demonstration against mass tourism. I felt a bit sick at the airport listening to all the north European pensioners talking about how they rent a place year round for 800€/month just to spend the odd week now and then there. While many locals working in tourism make minimum wage, around 1300€/month I believe.

I know the Finnish National Library acquires and files a copy of every newspaper or magazine issue released in Finland, and many Finnish language ones released outside Finland. Other countries probably have something similar.

I'm not a Marvel guy, but I'm vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it's something I only learned of after the movies.

Well, he does play Nick Fury.

I realize I'm very privileged. If I'm working on an issue for a whole day or a half day, everything I do during that day is part of the solution and will be billed to the customer (and I'll be paid for by my employer too). If that includes taking a nap, so be it. Results are what matter, as it should be. If someone ever starts saying I'm taking too long to do something I may consider changing my ways.

You're further proving that you missed the point.

I'm a reserve officer, trust me I have some idea. Also, you're missing the point by quite a margin.

The military doesn't attract the brightest minds.

Reminds me of a joke that did the rounds shortly after Finland joined Nato.

Finnish general: "You know, it's difficult, we have mandatory military service, but around 15% are unfit for service"

Other Nato generals: "That 15% is where we have to recruit from"

Thank you!

Thank you!

Stupid question probably, but as someone who hasn't really gotten into V or VI yet and thought that at a cursory glance they seemed pretty similar - what kinds of big differences are there between them?

And gives them time to reflect.

Well, the typical tankie seems to deny plenty of genocides, but the ongoing Palestine genocide might not be one of them.

That doesn't look like an ad, but a section in a (probably) tech magazine where they introduce useful or interesting websites to their readers.

You don't necessarily always check for something you're used to buying, so the shrinking may go unnoticed for a while.

Also ammonium chloride. So delicious.

Here in Finland, since their return in 2013, Burger King has sought to differentiate from other chains by having self serve drinks and unlimited refills.

And USA isn't even in the top 20. Stuff like this makes me wonder if anything in the post is even remotely correct.

Reminds me of quite a dark joke that made the rounds in Finland some years ago, when a grooming ring run by recently arrived immigrants was discovered in Oulu.

"A sex holiday for the whole family: Dad goes to Thailand, mom goes to Gambia, and the kids go to Oulu"
