Abbott, who can only issue clemency on the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, called for Perry’s pardon a day after he was found guilty.

Thats fucking crazy. Every single time I think the US can’t go further, I’m wrong. For like… the past 15 years.

I have zero idea whether this is sarcasm or not.

Scarred or scared?

I think it’s both.

If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in Him. There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come.

To foot fungus?

It’s been a problem since, well, forever.

I assumed something like that. But like what’s the BS rhetoric he’s running with to garner support from the crazies? Why would it help even with an insane view?

Why is anyone even trying to get rid of them?

dog like a Cane Corso or Kangal can take on a bear 1v1.

In Silverfang maybe, but not in real life.

I believe, internationally, lots of places which have saunas also have pools or even cold pools. I imagine. Like high class gyms or smth.

But I’ve heard several stories of Finns being abroad and going to a sauna and being prevented from tossing water on the stones (löyly = it’s sort of the water and the heat that results from throwing it, roughly how you’d use “gas” in relation to cars, more gas can mean more petrol or pressing on the gas pedal harder, that sort of word), and the employees saying “you can’t do thaw to it’ll break the stove” because they don’t understand how saunas work.

And to do this to the best effect you need a proper löyly to the point you pour cold water from the löyly bucket on top of your head to bear it for a while longer for all the muscles to really warm up. And then for maximum shock quick jump to cold water, or sometimes just a snowbank. That’s common as well. Hurts like bitch though if you do it with the wrong kind of snow, like jumping on a bed of freezing razors. (The top of snow that was quite soft earlier had frozen and I didn’t see it in the dark and jumped into the bank and there was like a half an inch of raspy ice on top before I broke through to the softer snow. Or I just didn’t care being either so young as not to or so drunk as not to. Probably both.)

And if you’re gonna throw a strong löyly, or even löyly at all in a public sauna, it’s proper etiquette to ask for consent from everyone. Although now that I wrote that I have a feeling asking for consent in some non-Finnish public saunas may have a different meaning, as far as I’ve understood from popular media.

questions?

Yeah google that maybe FBI and check historical connotations

Calling out Russian disinfo is the greatest crime on lemmy.ml

I’m banned from most of it and when that came so did a perma ban to us news at Midwest.social

@davel@lemmy.ml come say hi

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.

I see you’re a man of culture as well.

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.
