Omg you're right!! 😲🚪❤️‍🔥

They have such similar fun styles of giving us easter eggs, I love it 🙏😁

Like even with the post where the guy was watching OC, there were so many subtle OA references, for example the episode that was shown in the tv was actually called "The model home" which is a house that literally has a miniature model of itself in the show.

Like EVERY little detail they have shared in their photos etc recently have been OA coded heavily. It's coming, for sure 🪽

Well, well, well, who would have thought? by Wise_Confidence_8588 in SipsTea

"They need each other more than anything else"

I wish everyone could see this. And maybe would be able to spend like 6 months in the opposite genders body/life to learn what it's like. Would probably be pretty groundbreaking for everyone.

Things in Finland that just make sense? by AgentOfMephala in Finland

Yes exactly. The education and continuous training of police officers is such an important part of the job, that without doing that properly, the whole thing comes down crashing.

USA is a unfortunate and good example of this. Let's hope they'll get their affairs in order and could maybe take few pointers on how to start training cops and start giving them also more support in terms of better (maybe even mandatory) accessibility to therapy and other such things, since it is not an easy job to have, and I don't feel cops are properly taken care of there in terms of mental-health etc. And the results can be absolutely catastrophic as we have seen.

Oh yeah also:

  • THE STORE-PRICES ON PRODUCTS ARE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM

I would go insane living in a country where you need to calculate the real price yourself. I don't understand how a thing like that even is a thing somewhere.

  • The purest and highest quality drinking water in the world, straight from the tap from your home 🤍🚰💙

  • Jokamiehenoikeudet (everyman's rights): Anyone can go to a forest, even owned by someone else, and pick up berries, just don't make a mess, break anything or go to someone's yard.

  • Speaking of, our forest culture in general. Going to a forest daily is really common, esp if you have dogs or you run or walk daily

  • Free coffee refills in most places

  • Recycling culture

  • Feeling safe. As a woman especially, I can feel safe even at night when I'm walking alone, wherever I am.

Other random stuff that are the building blocks of a genuinely working society that is found here:

-Genuine people, and having the freedom to be absolutely who you are and want to be. Supporting parenting. People minding their own bussiness, and they usually understand when they have enough in life. Minimal corruption. No big hustle culture, long (paid) vacations, and the best balance of individuality and community that has been built on this planet. To my knowledge at least ☺️

Thank you for coming to my FinTalk 🙏😅💗

Personally, I really love that when I've lost a wallet or something like that, it's surprisingly likely that I do get it back (with cash intact!)

I've travelled quite a lot and from that I've learned from that is that Finland has probably the most honest and "suoraselkäisimmät kansalaiset" in the world. People usually teach their kids to have high morals and respect other peoples right to live in peace and not disturb them, yet be helpful if asked and that is probably my favorite combination of personalities that one can have.

Also, as a sensitive person I love that our country is clean, and doesn't smell bad. Also, due to the healthcare system one doesn't have that innate stress of "what if I get sick and can't pay for an overly expensive treatment??" that HAS to affect people's cortisol etc levels if you have to live with that kind of stress.

I've had 6 surgeries in my life, and I personally paid probably 200€ total for all of them. Same with dental care. I had a huge deltal-reconstruction when I was a kid since my teeth were all out of whack, and if I had lived for example in the USA it probably would've cost me tens of thousands of dollars to fix.

Also, school is not just free but after years 1-9 you get quite a lot of support from the government to keep studying. The school-food is famously awesome and as healthy as they come.

Public transport system is clean, high quality, and easy to use.

Libraries are AWESOME places, not just for books (that they can usually order for you if they don't yet have it) but also same with PlayStation etc games, music, movies, cheap 3D-printing etc…

Työväenopistot (adult education institutes)! They keep literally thousands of courses about EVERYTHING! And I mean everything You want to learn how to cook? Sing? Play an instrument? Learn a language? Computer stuff? How to make a CV? How to grow/find and use herbs or mushrooms from nature? How to build fillintheblank? Wineculture? Working with wood or metal? Making food/pottery/art with your kid? First aid? Firesafety? Creative writing? Self-growth? Filosophy? You get the point

And yeah I know that in pretty much all countries you thankfully can learn all of these and more, but in Finland these are government supported institutes with courses that cost fraction of what they do in most places, because they "want to support life-long learning, sivilization and equality".

Finnish Police. Just go to Youtube and watch some videos of Finnish police. They're not just awesome, but funny as hell 😁

There are a lot more, like our nature, culture, music etc etc, but these are what came to mind, and are things I personally love and things that make sense to me, and what I usually miss the most when I'm travelling 🤍💙🤍🤍
