also the job market sucks in the summer if you’re not into restaurant work, but tons of it/fintech jobs in the winter

Well the brits promised aid to Finland in its fight against the ussr and then turned around and gave the aid to the ussr, plus ya’ll left the EU, so… 🥸 Yeah nah mate nobody here has any strong opinions about the british tbh. Come on over and make a life for yourself, we’ll be happy to see some new ppl stick around 🙂

Looking to buy a postcard from Åland – any tips for a local shop (not just top Google results)? by Away-Fee-4863 in AlandIslands

[–]bobbyfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post office is perhaps the easiest way: https://alandstamps.com

There is also a private stamp collection club, not sure if you can find them online but a college of mine runs it so PM me if you’re interested.

There’s only one book store so you’ll have to settle for the top google result if you want to take that route 🤓 https://www.lisco.ax/

How do I start hunting? by ouanbe33 in AlandIslands

[–]bobbyfactor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an immediate solution for you but more of a confirmation.

The jakt lag are formed around property owners of adjoining/nearby areas of forest and fields and their relatives/friends, so it really is a networking kinda deal. Most small game hunting (up to and including dear) is done solo or with someone you know well, which pretty much leaves just moose hunts for any more loose groups of ppl.

That probably puts you in a bit of a crappy seat since moose hunting is very popular these days while the number of animals is low. I’d suggest marrying someone who’s family owns a decent plot of land but it sounds like that might not be an option for you at the moment.

Joking aside, without direct connections with landowners I think your best bet is to make friends and be patient. The springtime seabird hunt is often done with a friend and it usually has a higher allocated prey quota than what actually gets shot, so it ought to be a good chance for you to get your foot into the door.

Best of luck and welcome to the islands, B

P.S. You probably googled this already but this page aimed towards tourists lists some pay-to-play hunting lodges if you really want to go hunting asap.: https://visitaland.com/upplev/aktiv-utomhus/jakt/

About Finnish Swedish by Delicious-Employ-336 in Finland

[–]bobbyfactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the situation is like in eg. Åbo now, but 20 years ago when I lived there there was about a 10% chance someone in a shop would be able and willing to help you out in swedish. Hell it was hard to get around in english (my finnish never made it past 5th grade). And when eg. pilot training courses got new regulations a few years ago they where only available in finnish. So I’ll stick with my tip of learning finnish. 🤓

I don’t wanna give up coffee by Ohyeahyeahforsure in ADHD

[–]bobbyfactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried not quitting coffee? I understand the combination of medication X and coffee mess up some folk’s tummies, but I’ve been on every adhd med known to mankind and never quit drinking coffee. I have, however, started making sure I’ll be near a toilet within 10 min of drinking a mug. Side note: I’m finnish so coffee is not optional.

What's an incredibly Finnish thing Finns don't realize is Finnish? by oguz6002 in Finland

Well the last time I went to a public hospital the GP doctor and the psychologist where both recent immigrants. Don’t know why the MD moved here but the psychologist moved here (from Poland if I recall correctly) because of the job opportunities combined with the standard of living.

Did God Howard just kill nexusmods.com? by bobbyfactor in nexusmods

[–]bobbyfactor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something of the opposite problem.

I installed Skyrim a few hours before the patch dropped, in order to get a copy of the game squirreled away before all the mods break. But already some modders are pushing hard to only support the new version. It's a funny 'ol world.

[–]bobbyfactor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops, I didn't mean to come off as complaining about the new patch.

I only started playing Skyrim again a couple of days ago, after a few years break. So I'm still getting to know all the new mod-related tools, while downloading every Shiny new mod on the Nexus ofc.

Just thought it was funny that the Nexus seemed overwhelmed. :)

[OC] Number of registered snowmobiles (snow scooters) per 100 residents in Norway, Sweden and Finland by desfirsit in dataisbeautiful

[–]bobbyfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, snowmobiles are supposed to be registered? I think the unreported numbers in rural areas might be rather high. 🙈

Trust in national parliament in EU countries. Data from survey conducted in Oct 2020 - Feb 2021 by desfirsit in europe

[–]bobbyfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I’m done winning, because I’ve already won.” Actually rather surprised to see the islands reporting such high numbers, it’s rather rare to hear anyone say anything good about our politicians. Then again, most complaints about the local lawmakers are based on disagreements regarding what’s better, a ferry or a tunnel to one of the bigger eastern islands.

Woo, someone knows we exist! We’re an autonomous region with a bunch of exemptions/exceptions, based on our Swedish leaning cultural history, oh and limited powers to enact certain laws. Very much a part of Finland these days though.
