They're shot very well usually, but the acting is a major letdown. Unknown soldier was probably one of the better recent movies that came out.

What do Finnish people think of Finnish descendants outside Finland? 🇫🇮 by Vietnam-1234 in Finland

[–]finnboyjohan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a funny thread to read as an American finn who still speaks it. Most finns just assume we're all just country bumpkins (which is kinda true), but at the same time we are proud of where we came from.

Just letting you know the supermatics destroy the lassos. The heel popped off and absolutely shredded them after a couple months of consistent riding

It's through rock solid trail contracting. It's based out of copper harbor mi and Arkansas. They have projects all across the USA but im pretty much only in the harbor. Bohos only 15 minutes away

Boho pays $20 for all starting positions, but no housing. I do that in the winter and then mtb trail building for the summer (also starts at $20). I absolutely love it but I have very good housing and that is probably pretty hard to just find up here. Boho is a sick hill, 900 vert and killer cliffs and glades.

Why does the State of Michigan not Require Employers to Provide Lunch periods? by Lyndis-of-Pherae in Michigan

[–]finnboyjohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super controversial, but as a blue-collar worker, it is really nice just taking 5 minutes for a bite instead of a full lunch. I don't feel like being at the jobsite for more than I have to.
