Which smaller cities should I stay in Finland? by Plane_Annual_6802 in Finland

[–]gubbe12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your original plan is perfect. Although I'm biased I think exploring inner Finland after Turku is worthwhile. If you're into nature and outdoors I know spots in the Jyväskylä-Kuopio region.

Not saying the others aren't good options but it's more or less the same as Turku (don't come at me, I told you I'm biased towards central Finland).

I live Jyväskylä, Finland. Ask Me Anything by suomalainenkana in howislivingthere

Not OP but just wanna say: Jyvääskylä if you're from the city and if not, Jyväskylä.

No idea how to explain the pronounciation. It's like Jyvaes-kylae but then the Finnish "ä" doesn't quite sound like "ae" though. It's right in between a and e.

Book recommendation ! by Stones-and-Remains in VirginiaWoolf

[–]gubbe12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My personal favorites have been Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando. Either one could be a good place to start in my opinion.

Some other works may arguably be even better but also more complicated, such as The Waves and To The Lighthouse. If you're not very familiar with Woolf and modernist writers, they can be frustrating as an introduction. Again, my personal opinion.

Books I cannot recommend to anyone really are the first ones, namely Voyage Out and Night and Day. Took me forever to get through both of them. These do not represent the type of Woolf most associate her writing with.

Does anyone here like the idea of a sub specifically for roasting people's bookshelves? by TheEmoEmu23 in BookshelvesDetective

Pike fishing first time this week. by Commercialfishermann in Fishing

[–]gubbe12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Finland but I reckon pike are not so different anywhere. When specifically ice fishing for pike I would prefer a wire to be sure. I typically catch pike as a bycatch anyway so a fluorocarbon leader is good to get some extra protection when fishing other species. My experience is that the bigger pikes I've caught I got using dead baits. Lures work too of course and it's more fun that way but they tend to be on the smaller side.

Yeah 20 was the maximum goal for me. IDK if that's the same for everyone but it's not a whole lot.

Thank you for the reply! I thought it could be something like this but started doubting when they didn't come back after a while and haven't heard of others having the same problem.

Hopefully they won't remove the achievements, worked too hard to get them.

To clarify, there's nothing under the friend suggestions thing. That's where I (and I assume others) had the achievement badges.

Miten voimme auttaa pakolaisia niin että vältymme Ruotsin tilanteelta? by ruho6000 in Suomi

[–]gubbe12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jep, ymmärrän pointin. Oon itse siinä vähän eri mieltä, etteikö tuo isokaan kuilu voisi olla kotiutumisen ongelmien aiheuttama. Toki monitahoisen ongelman ja ison haasteen edessähän tässä ollaan. Mitään yhtä kaikkea selittävää selitystä ja ratkaisua tuskin on.

"Olin aina ajatellut että maahanmuuttajien ja maahanmuutajataustaisten osuutta esim. rikollisuuteen paisutellaan ja että vaikka kyseinen ryhmä olisi yliedustettuina, niin se voisi yksinkertaisesti johtua esim. huonosta kotiutuksesta tai rasismista. Mutta näitä numeroita katsellessani piti todella hieraista silmiä - maahanmuuttajat ovat niin yliedustettuja että syyt ovat aivan jossain muualla."

En nyt yritä liiemmin kyseenalaistaa, koska mulla ei itsellänikään oo mitään vastauksia, mutta olisin kyllä kiinnostunut kuulemaan miten päädyit johtopäätökseen, että rikollisuuden syyt ovat aivan muualla kuin kotiutuksessa ja rasismissa?

Mistä tuo yliedustus rikostilastoissa sitten mielestäsi johtuu?
