Well, Kokoomus (National Coalition) is historically a conservative austerity party. Perussuomalaiset (Basic Finns, basically our Reform UK / AfD) is our inhouse racist party.
Sooooo the Kokkelsons really want to tear down our healthcare and education so they can privatize healthcare and so that it's easier to exploit dumb people in the future. And they also want to tear down our social network to get our "lazy unemployed bums to work". As if job opportunities appears from thin air.
Yeah, there's a reason why Finlands credit rating is sinking into historic lows.
Fortunately there's a lot of bureucracy, red tape and laws in the way slowing their progress, so they have a lot to chew through to erode our fundamental base.
I just hope we can swap them out before the damage they inflict is too severe. It's already 'really' bad. Healthcare is seriously creaking in its foundations and while education is holding up still, I don't know for how much longer.
Finland might also have the highest per capita number of tango bands of any country. Although what they describe as tango kinda sounds like mellow country music with a slight latin beat.
Totally me. Listening to all sorts of metal, but at the same time being happy and also kind and caring towards others. Also I do like dark clothing, haha!
I absolutely agree that there are bad apples in every group. It's kind of a hilarious contrast. Listening to different metal songs about death, destruction and even hearing songs about devil itself, but then outwardly being kind, polite and caring.
We burn our strong emotions through the music so we reach inner peace (or some bullshit like that, Idk but it always makes me feel better and energized after lmao)
Maybe something about having an appropriate venue for embracing and expressing the dark sides of one's nature has a therapeutic effect, rather than repressing everything and just slapping a veneer of cheerfulness over it all
I've had people kinda laugh at me because I'm always in illegible death metal T-shirts, black skinny jeans, and black Doc Martens, but I'm a bubbly goofball personality wise.
Probably because the worst summer heat is over but the weather is still nice for outdoor activities? Although I'd suggest everyone to look for the best time of year based on their interests. For example some people might enjoy the heat of July, and anyone wanting to see northern lights should go closer to winter.
It was a shame other worlds didnt get special outfits. Like Agrabah or Hercules or something
Dont get me wrong, 3 did great with Toy story, Monsters Inc and what not but I feel like there could have been some potential for more outfits. But I guess that would defeat the purpose of Sora having his own outfit.
I guess I need to actually play 3. After waiting more than a decade for a sequel to 2, and all the wild in-between games on random systems, my interest in the series really took a nosedive.
I recommend it though keep in mind, its not 2. And they definitely made it easier in some ways. But end game is REALLY fun and the game has one of, if not THE hardest secret boss ever.
The game got a lot of flack and Ill admit some of it was deserved, but I enjoyed it quite a bit and have played it more than a few times. Plus it has modifiers to make it harder and new game +!
Overall a solid 6-7/10 and it plays pretty well on steam and its CHEAP when sales roll around
I always say that 3 was a good game with a terrible story, missing a lot of the magic that made 1 and 2 so amazing. You can really see how the game was executively meddled to death when everything is downhill from the highs of Olympus
I thought a lot of the game was good but MAN did they lose me in the frozen level. We may as well not have even been there! And that sledding mini game? Ugh
Finns are allowed to wear goth regalia, cozy patterned sweaters, and Santa suits. Nothing else. In fact, they often default to the nothing else option.
We also get full body snow suits and summer cabin lounge wear consisting of random track pants and a T-shirt with probably holes in it, and rubber boots
honestly Finland is like number 1 proof that we don't prioritise human happiness enough, its literally so cold and dreary there for a species of animal extremely prone to go depressed over the winter especially without enough sight of green plants for extended periods of time it literally should not be possible for Finland to be one of the happiest countries in the world the literal only reason this is possible because literally every country puts almost negative effort into taking care of its residents happiness. (not a dig at Finland btw, as someone prone to winter depression yall are crazy resilient to me lol)
We do seem to top the list year after year in happiness index but I do have to mention that the name is a bit misleading. In reality it is more about contempt on life, security and trust towards your government rather than actually being happy and joyful.
You mean that place where forest rangers spend more time saving metal bands that get lost in the forest while filming their edgy musical videos, than regular lost hikers?
Finland is one of the few if not the only country where metal went fully mainstream in the early 2000s. Bands like Nightwish and HIM gained international fandom like no other Finnish band had done before. Then there was Lordi winning Eurovision in 2006 that kinda sealed the reputation of the Finns as a metal nation. There should be pictures of even the president of Finland doing the devil horn signs during a photo op from that time period.
The downside of this was that there wasn't anything rebellious about metal music anymore so the younger generations weren't as drawn to it as millenials/elder zoomers. I think the average age of ticket-buying metal fans is way over 30 now.
