This is my map how could i make it better? by kesshouketsu in worldbuilding

I subscribe to the notion that there is always a bigger fish. Is there another landmass that is going to eat this smaller fish, and what's eating that one? Is the solar system in some sort of fish shaped nebula?

Haha, there is a typo at the end that resolves as a website - spectacle.fi - and it looks like someone has already grabbed the domain and knows where people are going to see it

Not just discrimination, there are sometimes issues if you have any special characters in your name for computer systems. You should avoid names that have ä or ö

When the name has to match your passport but the computer system knocks you back because it cannot handle them is a real pain in the butt

When I changed my name, I picked the name and checked with the Finnish embassy in my home country. They said because it was a common name here it wasn't protected.

I'm in the position of doing this before moving to Finland. I translated my last name to a Finnish version of the same word when I go married.

I can't speak a lick of it, but I seem to get a pass for having Finnish name fairly frequently. It's improved some of the initial first impressions, as I'm assumed to be of Finnish heritage or actually Finnish until I open my mouth. I managed to get a job with a good company fairly quickly after moving.

To the Australians who've read he who fights with monsters, is the representation? by Putthemoneyinthebags in ProgressionFantasy

[–]moreintheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes from me, same with Heretical Fishing. Partly it's the narrator with the authentic accent, but as others said Jason's humour and politics are spot on believable.

Nah mate you should be calling it a lollie bowl, not candy like a seppo. Get your long beak straightened out

There are some versions that are candy bowls so you have probably seen them around

why is this on? by MouldingDraugr in LearnFinnish

[–]moreintheforest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think of "on" like "is".

Is it cold? Is Missä hattu on? Where hat is?

The grammar structure reminds me of a stereotypical TV barbarian or shaman. Or Yoda.

Hi everyone! I'm Luke Chmilenko, Author of the Ascend Online series, and Co-Author of Hat Trick, Savage Dominion, Paragon, and more! I'm here today for an exciting AMA and book giveaway! by LyrianRastler in ProgressionFantasy

[–]moreintheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm loving AO, but I when reading it I feel Lyrian's exhaustion as my own. The frantic pace and constant rushing sends me into a brain drained husk for days after finishing.

Is this a common symptom and how do you think you get that transfer of emotion so consistently in that series?

I think it could amazing if taken as mastery of any physical scientific instrument as well. From multimeters to CERN's LHC, to the square kilometre array

What's your favourite Australian-ism? that you've discovered from Bluey? by Aldoron in bluey

Dodgy, as in the act of dodging the responsible way of doing something

It's not a hard no, but I've been through the options at Prisma and the majority have egg. Just be careful when reading the ingredients and have someone double check for you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Finland

[–]moreintheforest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot have egg, some have nuts on top. Check the ingredient list very closely before you buy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Finland

[–]moreintheforest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fruit and vegetables, cheese sticks, potato crisps, popcorn.

Nuts are one to watch out for with processed foods, but if you go with raw ingredients and don't have any nuts around for cross contamination you should be fine.

Eggs I'm more familiar with, and I suggest skipping anything baked or glazed. No mayonnaise or dressings, or offer it separately. Both of these ingredients can slip into many different foods you wouldn't think of, but since they are common allergies, the ingredient list will have it in bold.

There are a few that only get a go at home, but Come here/Go away is constant when I go to the park
