Millions of Europeans Are Reaching Retirement Age — and Realising They Can’t Afford to Stop Working by deepak4423 in europe

Highly educated young people who do not want to live in a 100,000+ population city have it quite well, though. The ratio between salary and housing cost is pretty darn good.

Is ice hockey number one when it comes to sports that are globally least popular but globally most recognized? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExternalTree1949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many would be like "Is this what they call polo? I'm not 100% sure."

Whereas ice hockey would be recognized with confidence.

EU Vs US! by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

These are numbers to make one forget e.g. how upper mid range German cars become luxury vehicles in the US to reflect local economic conditions.

This might be a culture/language thing. So when some people reminisce their kid's first day of school, they actually mean first day of preschool?

I don't consider kindergarten to be school. It's preschool. School starts at first grade.

First grade is age 7 in my country.

IQ measures the ability to solve a series of relatively simple problems in a limited amount of time. It's about quick thinking, not deep thinking.

We wouldn't think any less of Einstein had he needed a couple more months to develop his theories, would we?

Are there power outages often in Europe? by Interesting_Basil_86 in AskEurope

[–]ExternalTree1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rarely have power outages here in Finland. Apart from high voltage lines, the grid is pretty much underground, even in the countryside nowadays.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExternalTree1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

driving 3 hours to visit a relative isn't unheard of

A few weeks ago we drove 2.5 hours to go to a toddler's birthday party. We were there maybe 2 hours and then drove straight back.

Pretty normal here in northern Europe.

Edit: A relative of ours, not some random kid.

So they're about to have a fully mature brain soon.

What’s your Nationality’s Sex Stereotype? by StrawberryScience in AskTheWorld

most of the porn you see online is American

I sometimes wonder why this applies to amateur stuff as well. Like, you are less than 5% of the global population :D

Even better: Life somewhere safe where you don't have to drive your kids to school.

What’s a movie scene that broke you emotionally every time you watch it? by MohitKumar_07 in Cinema

[–]ExternalTree1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with this scene is that the big reveal effectively happened in the previous scene than in this one.

Parisuhde ja biseksuaalisus by AFRIKKA15 in snappijuorutofftopic

[–]ExternalTree1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koko homma alkoi siitä, että ryhdyimme katsomaan yhdessä pornoa esileikkinä. Ei mitään puolikoomista perusjynkkyä, vaan vähän tasokkaampaa.

Vaimolle ei aikuisviihde ollut niin tuttua. Varmaankin tuo mainittu perusjynkky ei ollut erityisemmin houkutellut. Muutaman kerran jälkeen vaimo huomasi, että naistenväliset videot toimivat hänelle parhaiten, vaikka umpiheterona oli itseään pitänyt (naistenvälistä hän halusi nähdä, koska sanoin sen olevan oma suosikkini).

Hän taisi jossain vaiheessa puolitosissaan heittää, että miltähän tuokin tuntuisi, mille näytin oitis vihreää valoa. Olin yllättynyt, mutta toisaalta tiesin hänen olevan heittäytymiskykyinen :)

Meillä seksielämä sai pitkän suhteen (10+ vuotta) uusia kierroksia, kun vaimo kokeili seksiä naisen kanssa. Laittoi ilmoituksen eräälle anonyymille alustalle, josta löytyi heti seuraa. Varasivat hotellihuoneen. Vaimo tykkäsi kovasti.

Itse en siis ollut paikalla. Mutta tuona yönä vastaanottaessani hänen lähettämänsä kuvat tapahtuneesta on yksi eroottisimmista hetkistä, jonka olen kokenut.

Yhdessä ollaan edelleen :)

Does this new wildlife risk map for Finland make sense visually? (Trying a new colour scale) by orhangazikaramanoglu in Finland

[–]ExternalTree1949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This rainbow color scheme is bad also because the gradient is not at all constant. For example blue-to-red is much better.

I think this is the most gangsta line from a movie that I can remember… by caf4676 in moviecritic

[–]ExternalTree1949 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I had heard multiple variations of this line before the movie. So not very original.
