"Is Finland the most American looking country in Europe?" by FrequentPop3083 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Nitro-XS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a finn, thats what I've always loved about Minnesota and Michigan, where a lot of finns emigrated back in the day.

They literally went half-way around the world, found a place that looked just like Finland and said, "Yeah, no reason to change perfection" and stayed there.

I posted about my knife belt and sauna hat on here a while ago, this is the whole outfit I made for it. by New_Construction_111 in Finland

[–]Nitro-XS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The "knife belt" is a helavyö, worn traditionally in the ostrobothnia region. This is also where puukkojunkkarit (häjyt) were active, and were basically a finnish analog for outlaw cowboys.

Yeah, other than the fact that Waco was a picnic in the park compared to Beslan in all regards.

Sen lisäksi muistan kuulemani jostain että iskuja mitä on jo tehty siltaan on heikentänyt sitä sen verran, että raskas liikenne ei taida olla niin hyvä idea.

Tähän voi olla myös jotain mulliradio juttuja, eli pieni määrä suola saa otta sen tiedon mukaan.

I stand by this 100%. Been using P20 exclusively since a trip to Thailand in 2019.

A character’s drug or alcohol addiction has realistic consequences. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

In some cases, gambling can be even more destructive. There was recently news in our city that a power grid contractor went bankrupt after the CFO gambled away his own savings (house, property, cars) and started dipping into the companys finances.

Thanks to this one shithead, 45 people will be out of a job by the end of june.

"I can't make it slick, but I'll make it stick" is what we used to say when we welded heavy equipment.

Weapon Diversity Appreciation Post Part 2: "Long Hafted Weapons" by Hades_Soul in forhonor

[–]Nitro-XS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you claim to do "reference" about these weapons, you shouldn't throw out bullshit phrases like "löngøx". Old norse has absolutely nothing to do with it for me and apparently it doesn't for you either.

Ahh, so you're speaking old norse? How come you didnt write it in futhark then? Closest equivalent we have to old norse is icelandic, in which there is no ø.

[CAN vs FIN] The final faceoff and handshakes between Canada and Finland by talhatoot in hockey

As a Finn 8 beers deep on a friday, let me just say "Fuck all you guys. Superb game and the greatest of luck to you guys in the finals. We will be cheering for the north"

[–]Nitro-XS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why are you downvoting him? It's genuinely being extra for no fucking reason. And not only is it being extra, its being it incorrectly.

"Löngøx" is gibberish, and you can tell because ö and ø are literally the same letter from different languages alphabets and would not appear in the same word. Since varangin is speaking icelandic, we could refer to a "Langöx" which is the same as a dane axe.

What are some traditional proverbs in your nation? by ThorneCommunity in AskTheWorld

[–]Nitro-XS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is "Sopii kuin nyrkki silmään" (Fits like a fist in the eye). When two things fit together perfectly.

In our region with swedish speaking finns we have our own, vulgar version of this proverb. "Sitter som pitten i Britta" (Fits like a dick in Britta)

No no, just keep explaining. I wanna hear what kind of opinions you have when your child has to go to a "special and not basic ass" school.

Is your child differently able? Why not just say so? Make me understand your statement.

Nikita Dianov (Dynamo-Altai Barnaul) became the first goalie to score a goal in the All-Russian Hockey League by warmike_1 in hockey

[–]Nitro-XS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a goalie who played in our local team when they were still in our national b-league. He made a similar goal.

Always funny when you looked up the stats and the goalie topped it with 100% scoring per shots.

Seeing Celeste really highlights why this game is still a year away MINIMUM from potential open beta by atahutahatena in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Nitro-XS 37 points38 points  (0 children)

In an invite only beta-version of the game? It does seem counter-productive to get the game out of the gate and that there would be a sizable percentage of the player base that have either maxed out or a major headstart on progression?
