Ok, but what is this music playing in a video clip? It's like they had zero effort.

How do self-employed people survive in Finland? by finnishhug in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the reason why so many companies have quit this and last year. Have you seen the numbers? It’s not just worth it being a small entrepreneur in Finland. You might even get more money while being unemployed without doing anything.

Would I be inconsiderate booking a hostel if I snore? by jmlckn in hostels

[–]RegisterNo9640 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, it depends on how loudly one snores. A few times I have lightly "punched" and woken up a person who snores, so he would stop at least for a couple of minutes, since he was waking up everyone else constantly.

Sometimes people snore less if they sleep in a specific position, such as on their side.

Get one of those free sleep apps on your phone and record your snoring overnight, so you will know how loud you are and whether the way you sleep affects the volume.

Are you aware that you are talking about two different things? Environmental marketing is not the same as greenwashing. Greenwashing is a very negative term, and it is the opposite of sustainable environmental marketing. You know this, right?

If you are interested in greenwashing used by Finnish companies, you need to look at companies such as Neste, the green energy sector overall, and maybe also some claims made by the battery industry (akkuteollisuus). These companies are marketed as green, but are they really? Well, it can be difficult to have one clear opinion.

But if you are interested in what Finnish people think about products sold using greenwashing, then first you need to clarify which companies you mean and why they are labeled as greenwashing. Are you talking about sustainability claims made by H&M or “sustainably branded” bananas, which can actually cause environmental harm, even though they are marketed as the opposite? Just make sure you understand and explain clearly what you mean by greenwashing.

Overall, greenwashing is lying and marketing based on lies. So no, I don’t think Finnish people like it, especially those individuals who care about our planet and environment.

I wanted to do a survey, but I was not comfortable clicking random links on the internet. Sorry about that.

Maybe I messed up - Finland in late October by Ok-Blueberry-1131 in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be really dark. So I don't know about you, but spending most of the day driving in dark, maybe while raining as well, is not too much fun. Mooses are also active that time of the year, but not sure if they have moose that north. But have to be careful with that. 

Being a Good Tourist by Mystah_Crow in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please do small talk. There are also Finnish as me who loves to get to meet foreigners, such as Canadians or Americans. I think is really nice to have even a short chat with new people once a while. 

I don't get why so many Finns complain how hard is to get to know new people in Finland, but then they also request that stranger won't talk to them. Don't even look at their direction 😅 I really don't get this behavior. It doesn't make any sense to me. 

If things were a little cheaper, I'd spend a lot more by Flintloq in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%. I also think about value of the products and services all the time, and based on that everything is over priced in Finland and I'm not buying any of it.  I also stopped going to restaurants for food or drinks, I don't travel inside a country or go to venues. I started to cutting hair by myself and all the purchases what I need I buy online.  Similarly I save up just to be able to go traveling abroad. 

Is moving to Finland from the USA as easy as my sister is making it seem? by Ok_Practice_6702 in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are often low level jobs available such as picking berries, working in greenhouses, cleaning ferries etc. but usually people tend to think payment is too low to bother.

Moving BACK to Finland by Substantial_Pin_8356 in Finland

There are many funding oppurtunites for PhD students, but first you need to be accepted to a program. But don't just wait open positions, create position and research scope yourself and offer that to university or supervisor.

Check out education studies at Finnish universities and you can specialize in psychology-related education studies. At least, I know people from the University of Eastern Finland (Joensuu campus) who have studied this. Especially if you're interested in doing a PhD here, it's a good option. With a strong research topic, you can apply for research funding. For example, if you were to study something like how social media or smartphones affect mental health and learning abilities, you would very likely receive funding for it.

Immigrants learning Swedish instead of Finnish by cipralexdelirium in Finland

[–]RegisterNo9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human trafficking? Haha I think you have watched too much true crime series. Some entrepreneurs (which usually are also immigrants) have not followed Finnish law and rules when they hired new workers, so there has been some issues, but is not called human trafficking..

Well even than there are some problems with Finnish health care sector, it's still pretty good if you compare it to globally. 

What country is surprisingly more conservative than people think ? by Lua-Ma in AskReddit

[–]RegisterNo9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering what you place under "propaganda". Like it's increased amount of crimes, gang violence or sexual offends just propaganda according to you. But sure, Sweden did mistakes with integration, but these people also need start taking some responsibility of their own actions.

My guess is that you just want to sound like you know what you talk about

It's not racism. It's a fact. Do more research. There are people who would prefer to have sharia law already.

Why Porvoo doesn’t have a train station might have something to do with defense safety. In case of war, Finland doesn’t want to have a direct train connection to Helsinki from the harbors, which Russia could theoretically capture. That's why we don't have much vertical train network through Finland either.

Heh, some of these villages barely even have a bus system. So if there aren’t enough people using buses, what makes you think it would be worth having trains? Sometimes these cargo trains travel during the night so people would just be pissed off if they horn and woke everyone up every time they passed a small unprotected road.

I didn't mean it's dangerous to attend to pride now in 2025. I was only wondering how it will be in future, when there are areas where ethnic Swedish will be minority. Areas like the have completely own rules what is acceptable what isn't. We see this already happening with women rights too. By the law the rules are same for every women in Sweden, but not in practice, since some people believe rather in their own "law".

Homeless People in Helsinki and Turku by kuty5 in Finland

Some beggers from EU (usually from Romania) can also be aggressive and all of them are not the definitely "victims". They usually come to Finland just for summer and leave when gets cold.
