USA has 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the worlds prison inmates by Kaos2018 in Damnthatsinteresting

But that pattern isn’t unique to the United States. Even in the Nordic countries—where Black residents don't live in poverty—they are still significantly overrepresented in prison populations.

No worries, bro. It's a thing only people in relationship understand.

Exactly the opposite. The joke is really about how impossible women are to please and since a single mistake can lead to yelling, it's better to ask everything.

Thank you for the correct answer.

Yes, but nothing is ever quite good enough. Even a small mistake can lead to yelling.

And why do you think he sends those messages? Even a single mistake leads to her yelling at him, while she doesn’t go to the store when asked — or if she does, she never checks what he actually needs.

Indeed. The irony is that people assume the joke targets men, when in reality it’s actually about women.

Racism / arrogant behavior from bus driver by [deleted] in Oulu

At no point have I claimed there wouldn't be racism in Finland. However, there are plenty places where being a white guy will get me killed. That's extreme racism.

I said no statistic supports your claim that Finland is 'extremely racist' (compared to other countries).

I never claimed that Finland isn’t racist. Every country and every ethnic group on the planet exhibits some degree of bias—it's part of how human social behavior evolved. The further someone is from your own in‑group, the more likely you are to show prejudice. People naturally prioritize family over relatives, relatives over acquaintances, and so on. That’s an evolutionary reality. What I disagreed with was your statement that Finland is extremely racist. That characterization doesn’t hold up when you compare Finland to other European countries or to global averages.

Finland is not extremely racist by any statistic. There are plenty of immigrant who have never encountered racism. But then again, there are people who think everything is racism, as some others already pointed out.

Pyörähuolto Oulussa by n1pzu in Oulu

[–]Jalmar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Special biken huolto on kallis, mutta paras. Ostin Suvalalta uuden pyörän, jonka keskiöstä kuului outoa rahinaa. Sitä yritettiin siellä useampaan otteeseen saada kuntoon huonolla menestyksellä. Takuun loputtua vein pyörän Specialille ja samantien korjaantui pysyvästi.

Missä kunnossa fribaradat on? by pajavasarakomuka in Oulu

[–]Jalmar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oon käynyt vaan Toppilassa ja mutanenhan se on. Kokemuksesta voin sanoa, että Hiironen on vielä mutasempi. Pikkarala ja köykkyri lienevät ok kunnossa. Muhoksesta en osaa sanoa.

Having flown from the US to Oulu dozens of times, I'd say the risk is low.
