I don't know why people are a) taking this even jokingly half serious and b) suggesting all sorts of weird and complex solutions when surely a 22-year could just buy whatever.
Yeah just buy a cruise ship or whatever. Go into debt if you have to.
A pack of tissues wasn't in double-digit millions last time I checked.
Sorry, I was just memeing. Unless you were playing along, in which case woosh on me.
Well I sort of was, but I'm Finnish, so we haven't exactly got the "don't sound murderous, try to sound funny" tone right yet. You know how it's a meme Germans have no sense of humour? We'll they've enough sense of humor to realise people joke about it. We Nordics don't.
Yeah, you know where the phrase "finnish him" originated?
Am Swedish, can confirm it's hard to read Finnish humor. 😆
It's probably because there generally isn't any.
The punchline to 80% of the "jokes" I heard growing up is a word I don't want to say so that I don't seem like a racist.
Nowadays if you attempt even a little bit of banter to someone, it's likely that you'll get an answer of "YE GOT A PROBLEM M8?" (roughly translated.)
Happened to me twice within the last month. Once because I noted to an adult man that a full-up buss at 14:00 isn't a karaoke and he shouldn't be listenint to his phone on full while singing drinking songs with all the kids and parents. He started to yell he'll kill me on the street and whatnot. I left the best as my stop came up. Went to buy a bevvie He came after me from the bus and stalked me lol.
The next dude was calmed but also asked me if I got a problem when I was on the side of the road filming birds and he just walked by?
I would rather live with wild wolves, no shit.
And I'm not a small guy or anything. I just don't trust these fuckers. Apparently yesterday there was a stabbing in my building again.
Yeesh.
I have to ask though, would you consider it "banter" what happened on the bus? I mean, you were completely correct and in the right, when you told him off and said he shouldn't play music and sing in a full bus. (You're a good guy for that btw!) But I can't imagine any culture where this would be considered banter. Possibly somewhere in GB 😆
Anyway, I hope you find a way out of there to live in a more peaceful place that suits you better, if that's what you really want of course. ❤️ Happy 2025 to you!
No, that wasn't banter. I only mention it because he started raging about me being a "traditional Finn, trying to block him from simply communicating with people" or some such nonsense
My brother in Christ You pulled out the most repetitive earworm drinking glorifying song in a 14.00 bus filled with kids and started screeching with a drunken voice. That is not bantering either.
😆 Okay, I thought as much. Anyway, have a good one! 🤝
U2
Do you live in Scotland? I only ask because it's a perfect description of Edinburgh buses. And there are an inexplicably large number of Finnish people in Edinburgh. Or were 15 to 20 years ago. Also there was a multiple stabbing at one of the places I lived there, and my next door neighbour had killed 3 people by cutting their throats. (Not a nice part of Edinburgh tbh, but by no means the worst)
All Scots are southerners to me.
But the cities are larger a bit. Glasgow is 3x the population of my city and only 50k people short from being as large as our capital.
Alcoholism and winter and people not taking their vitamin D.
Kevin Bridges has an excellent bit on Glasgow and the very things we're talking about. :D
Except Finns lack the friendly part
I wouldn't say I qualify as a southerner. I live further north than Inari.
Would you mind sharing where that would be?
Northernmost point – Out Stack (Oosta), Shetland at 60°51′N 0°52′W
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_Scotland
Inari is 68°.
Idk where you're getting those 8 degrees from? So where'd you live?
Those extreme points are the same for the whole of UK and for British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies is on the Isle of Man.
By the data I can find, I live further north than any UK territory. I understand I can be wrong.
So... please elaborate.
Yeah, I moved away from Scotland almost 2 decades ago. I live in Northern Norway. I haven't seen the sun since November.
Well I hope you're happy to get me to agree to that, but I'd note that you probably did realise I meant "Scots" as in "anyone residing in Scotland" instead of "any Brits who may or may not have been born in Scotland but now have moved further north than would be possible if one still lived on Scotland"
Fair enough. Aurora for tax.
I live too close to a highway and in general further South so while it's been a great year for auroras, I've not seen shit as to see them properly I have to go some 10-20km out of the city and without a car I haven't really bothered.
Got to get me a van next year.
I'm somewhat jealous, I'll admit.
I haven't really seen it since the beginning of mørketid. It's been really cloudy until today. But it tends to be visible from within the city quite often. I might be without a car soon anyway. The eu control is coming up and last time it cost almost a whole months paycheck to fix the piece of shit.
I see the feral reputation of the Finns is not wholly unearned
Kind of sounds like you already do XD
Pffft, wolves are predictable and usually not on PCP, unlike these motherfuckers.
If his mom is doing that, it's likely he doesn't have a job because she won't let him.
You genuinely believe a 22-year old to be on such a tight leash that they cant' stuff their pockets with a bit of paper anywhere? If if he never has the money to buy a roll of toilet paper, which isn't the most expensive item honestly, he could just walk to a fastfood joint and take some napkins.
Stop buying into the stupidest shit people write, sheesh. You're the type to think reality TV is real, aren't you?
The fun of this community is pretending the stories are real.
Well to the point that they're somewhat believable or clearly imagined, yeah.
Like all stories.
This just seems like a shit one.
Like the Walking Dead of green text yaknow. Just.... bad.
But I don't judge people who disagree.
Have some free napkins.
If can talk about people who like sushi without judging them.
I can also talk about people who believe reality tv is real without judging them.
Edit also you took that "I don't judge people" out of context of "I don't judge people for disagreeing"
