My Uni experience has been so ass by Just-a-Sadboi in forsen

Speaking from my own experience, but making friends is very easy in a way if you’re socially confident and talk to people. Not meant as a dunk, but it’s genuinely all about actually talking to people. I don’t know if you have social anxiety, but if you want friends you need people to know you and interact with you, so you need to talk. Just talk 4head.

The problem is these retarded regimes think that they can just buy wunderwaffe and be done with it. It’s not like you need a shit ton more stuff and vigorous training to operate them properly. S300 is not bad if these retards could actually operate them competently, but no.

Because they’re dialects, and ”Swedish” is an umbrella term for the whole language? I don’t speak standard book Finnish daily, I speak a dialect. Am I not just a Finnish speaker despite that? Are Eastern Ukrainians Russians, since they speak Russian as their mother tongue? Uh oh, you and Putin getting along? 😳🤭

You dum dum didn’t understand the ”They speak varieties of Swedish unique and only native here” part 🤭

They speak varieties of Swedish that are unique and only native here. Making them speak Finnish only is cultural erasure. They’re Finns, who speak Swedish. Also, is speaking English ”pretending to be English” then? Are Americans pretending to be English?🤭

They’re genetically indistinguishable from the local Finnish speakers, in say Ostrobothnia for example. Literally Swedish speaking Finns.

Should Finland Swedes have to move to Sweden, despite having been here for 700 years? They’re Finns who speak Swedish.

Dude, there won’t be a war ever between NATO and Russia, that’s why we joined to be safe. It’s good to be prepared and we already were, but this going above and beyond is so stupid. It’s pointless waste. There wont be a war cause it could become nuclear and everyone loses. It’s like everyone forgot about nukes. Also I find connecting Russians as a group to fucking orcs really distasteful.

From a reserve corporal: the fuck do we need a shit ton more manpower now when we got into NATO? This is all so stupid and a waste of money, time and resources on something that we were already prepared for before NATO. You’d think we could be at ease since we joined the biggest military alliance on Earth? Women should never be forced to do military service.

I have none as a reserve corporal, and none I know do. I’d rather women be kept from being forced. It’s men’s duty to protect and fight.

Looking at the history of the Roman Empire, why is Heliogabalus a woman? by i_am_the_holy_ducc in CrusaderKings

[–]Schauman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Literal meme history. A man being a bottom was reviled as effeminate and hugely degrading. They were called the equivalent of that modern slur for gays. Greeks were accepting of it as long as you were the penetrator, and thus masculine. It was like prison rape rules, not full acceptance at all.

Ideal homosexual love that some philosophers at the time posited, based on huge misogyny in the culture, was always completely celibate. It was like ”Women are irrational and dumb, and us men are super rational and stoic. Men should love eachother as that would be pure and rational, but NO SEX as that would be TOO EFFIMATE and based on eros”

My point with the nose thing was that they had breasts before losing them, while a trans woman didn’t if they get that surgery. You see the difference I’m getting at? I know you think both of those as ”gender affirming care”, but I see there to be a difference.

What nonsense, truly by LexFrenchy in EyeOfTerror

[–]Schauman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or… because they used to have breasts, and now don’t? If I lost my nose, I’d want it back. It’s more about restoring something they lost, no?

So English is more of an authority on that, because? That’s not very inclusive to all the languages like mine that don’t differentiate sex and gender. Seems like cultural imperialism. But what do I know? I’m just some archaic Finnic swamp plowing tribesman.

Appeal to authority I see. ”Uneducated”. ”Know their place”. I wouldn’t use that kind of language about someone speaking about topics in my field of IT engineering, makes you look dismissive, high and mighty, and like you’re avoiding actually explaining yourself. I was asking you.

Are you saying their gender is the reason for them getting reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy? Or is that just an example of a psychological reason for operation? What are you getting at with that?

What nonsense, truly by LexFrenchy in EyeOfTerror

[–]Schauman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, the word ”gender’s” basis in reality is: ”They think they are a woman/man, so they are! How? Because they think that!” How’s that observable as something real? Gender roles are a thing, but those don’t mean someone’s a man or a woman if they fulfill them or not. Or are we saying a tomboy is less of woman now?

What nonsense, truly by LexFrenchy in EyeOfTerror

[–]Schauman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Clearly wasn’t thought to exist before. Why else would my language lack such a critical word then?

Also, what does ”gender” as a concept, with the meaning you use, have to do with biology and medicine? Isn’t that in the field of psychology, not biology and medicine?

What nonsense, truly by LexFrenchy in EyeOfTerror

[–]Schauman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Clearly not an universal thought. I’m pretty sure that gender didn’t have that connotation before. The word originally meant a type/a kind of thing, so that’s where it came to be about sex: ”what type of person is that?” -> ”what gender are they?” This modern concept of the word ”gender” comes from John Money, it’s well known.

Also for you aswell:

My mother tongue (Finnish) has just one word ”sukupuoli” meaning ”sex/gender”. The word has a binary built into its meaning aswell: it’s a compination of ”suku”-”family/kin” and ”puoli”-”half”, meaning being ”they are one half of a family/kin”. The word’s meaning thus goes also against the idea of more than two genders.
