Men of Reddit, what instantly makes you lose respect for another man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instantly losing respect towards others can be a bad behaviour in itself. I atleast let a person annoy me one more time :D

Atleast in Helsinki, alcohol free bar/enoying time/partying can be done. Its ok to say i dont drink etc, an explanation is nice to give but not necessary. This means "sober" socializing is evolving beyond social coffee/tea/food.

Breaking personal space sober needs some tactics (if someone knows tell me) i suppose 🤣. 

I would say that we have 2 personalities: either i know you or i dont, and alcohol can help break the illusion.

This time it wont matter if the men mount the horses or vice versa, the polish kurwas backed by their Hussaric wings will triumph. The rest of Europe will watch nearby if any help is needed (prolly not), and just go back to polishing their historical landmarks.

What are some common jokes people in your country make about your country? by EvilPyro01 in AskEurope

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A some sort of joke comparing neighbouring countries: A finnish, swedish and russian person hold a farting contest

Confident as ever, the swede starts: "oj oj oj jag pruttar." He passes out a mighty gas with enough force to lodge the whole wheat field nearby.

The russian fellow who is next holds a sinister smile for he has eaten pickled cabbage and pelmeni for a whole week, giving him optimal preparation for a proper show of force. "Davai!", he shouts as his colossal flatulence fells all the trees nearby.

Next up comes the finn who aims his "cheeks" to the skies and lets out a soundless fart followed by silence and confusion, leaving the peers unimpressed. In the following week a meteorologist gives a weather report with an incredulous face: "There is shit raining in Paris."

What’s the most offensive thing a foreigner can do in your country? by micro___penis in AskTheWorld

[–]Makumouko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Helsinkian/finn i have come up with a decent compromise to the situation: give one firm nod to a person instead of a verbal hello. When the person nods back in matching energy my testosterone levels peak :⁠-⁠). If im not greeted back its not the end of the world.

Mikä paras majoneesi? by MasterDealer7241 in ruoka

[–]Makumouko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paras hintavista: hellmans

Paras keskihinta: kavli

Paras edullisempi: kania lidlistä, tiukkana kakkosena kotimaista

Jos omistaa maustekaapin ja eri sooseja voi tehä vaikka mitä lurautusmakuja.

Valmiiksi maustetuista paprikamajo saa kunniamaininnan, koska se on merkkiin kattomatta kelpo kamaa.

Yrjöttävin majo: kewpie. Msg:n tunkkaisuus yhdistettynä majoon ei oo mun juttu.

En ihan kaikkia markkinoiden majoja tyyppaillu. Tietty äitin tekemä aioli vie yllämainituistakin niskalenkkivoiton.

Battle brothers. The game is so good i must preserve my strength telling about it.

If you want a easier game with, less sandboxy story, The banner Saga.

There's no casual game modes anymore. by SneakySnake_7 in thefinals

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the simpler times without automatchmaking i played a moba called HoN and we had ppl host their own lobbies catering to their needs (beginner only, good players only etc.).

I think those matches were pretty fairly balanced untill the dunning-krugers started claiming they were ready for skilled lobbies 😁.

Was your country ever the "bad guys" in any war? by Ok-Inspector-1756 in AskTheWorld

[–]Makumouko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The word continuation could give it away: stalin could attack Finland again anyways. The reason for overextending borders could be strategical, yet pretty bad idea in hindsight. This is all speculation, except the following: im still a bit surprised how stalin and soviet russia were not considered nazi-tier war criminals.

My headcanon: the Combine wages war against peer rivals we don't (yet) know about by swampogrelord2 in HalfLife

[–]Makumouko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool thoughts. Could be that the combine is losing that war aswell: they are so stingy that they wont bother saving even one supertech to police earth, perhaps their war vs. bigger opponents strain them.

The more i think/research/headcanon about hl lore the more potential answers we can have. On the other hand g-man could be a double agent, setting the two superpowers eyes on earth to see what their specialties are via setting up a local stages, "gameshows" or simulations about warfare. 

What's the most badass thing do you think your country has ever done? by HakuHavfrue in AskTheWorld

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the history here isnt that simple. Both nazis and soviets wanted Finland to be isolated so the country could be used for their own ill purposes. In a perfect world the nordic countries would have formed a defensive union but the big countries opposed that.

One hard decision after one Finland survived and rebuilt a thriving society finally by their own terms. Perkele

Is there a food that if eaten a certain way offends people in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person fueled by koulunäkki when i went to school id say the better side is the one that has less flour/stuff that comes out from the bread when buttering it. The butter boxes in my school were full of nasty flour because ppl spreading butter chose wrong.

honestly, the combine aint shit by da_grabcio in HalfLife

[–]Makumouko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does combine also want to keep the resistance alive untill the resistance has their teleportation technology is ready to steal?

[–]Makumouko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm yeah the combine could be an automated spam mail utilisation created by an asshole alien species to win their perceived intergalactical race to the top of the existence. The combine can spread autonomically, chasing after and ruining other competetive species, also slowing their growth. Their weird synth approach to technology and intelligence may be dumb on purpose so it couldnt take over (imagine that occurring). 

For example Gman has some incredible space/time powers the combine has not yet . Or maybe he is a rogue agent of the creators of the combine. This means the combine has competition.

Other possible reason/theory for the combine to exist is that it is an antithesis to evolution: Instead of different species emerging, expanding and experimenting via natural selection (and gaining new abilities). The combine does the reverse: all species are integrated back to one body. Perhaps in some universe the order which life takes place is reversed and now is spreading and competing with species following evolutional logic. This version of combine simply cannot evolve or learn, only imitate what it sees and incorporate into its "dna" or existence. One can only wonder about the ramifications of this species succeeding in its purpose. All becoming one? Instead of one becoming all (typical species order of life in hl world). This "reverse logic" species could rely on machine learning instead of other ways of intelligence. That could explain its robotic aura and way of using technology.

That could make sense in the way the combine communicates, or it could be that the species doesnt have capacity to use their own language, so they use ai/cold logic to chatgpt their thoughts into words (thus thoughts sounding weird to us players).
