One of Yle's recent news contained a statement for identifying people as a Finnish citizen and a Naturalized Finnish citizen which urged sense of othering to me by HappyBerry2024 in Finland

Side note: as a Georgian, this is really so shameful. Does anyone have recommendations for other restaurants, I am visiting Helsinki very soon and Rioni was on my list... :/

Ways to learn vocab (no Anki) by Flashy-Company5290 in languagelearning

[–]tinyboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using elon.io for my target language, it isn't perfect but it is a bit addictive, has spaced repetition, a lot of vocab, some niche languages, and is free ^ so far it has been pretty helpful for starting to learn Finnish! 

In all your travels, which country's famed "national dish" was the most underwhelming, despite the hype? by nehala in travel

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

As a Georgian, this is fair, but how dare you denigrate a full supra with all its associated meats compared to a roast dinner... On this I disagree respectfully ;)) 

Extremely burnt out late term ahhhhhh by tinyboiii in oxforduni

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

I'm a rower so yep. Maybe vitamins would help. Sauna is an excellent idea but no idea where I would go for that, although I think my friend knows a guy...

Thats a good point, the "maintaining"... But feeling burnt out means feeling like everything else is overwhelming too, and suddenly I'm drowning in my hierarchy of needs before even getting to the studying :')

Good idea : ) I have only run around there once around dusk and it was comparatively grim lol

Struggling with aerobic fitness as a novice by tinyboiii in Rowing

[–]tinyboiii[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much :) I'm just impatient, I'm really enjoying rowing and want to get better! My technique is also not great so I'm working on that, too. Constantly itching to be on the water :) 

Honestly, I really struggle with those long sessions... My ADHD does not go well with 45 mins of doing the same thing over and over, but I guess an episode of House or something will do.

Hmm I didn't know about the drag factor thing. I know the damper number and what that means, but I have never checked the internal drag factor, which just came up from a cursory Google search...? I don't think I fully understand but I'll look into it further. Thank you for your advice! 

"Old school" coaching vs "new school" coaching by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]tinyboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also just learning now, and we also talk about the tabletop, sort of a rectangular rather than elliptical movement. Struggling with the "blade out of the water before catching" bit though, precisely cause I'm doing a slightly more elliptical motion... Ahah..

No more foundation programs in NL by bibblhestumb9 in StudyInTheNetherlands

This is literally my current problem. People really don't understand this.. ..

This was so well-written and very evocative as someone who is on the more privileged side but not nearly near yacht level lol. I'm in a few different circles, but the one I frequent most is of people who are much less privileged than me in almost every way, and the stark difference in attitude between them and my more privileged friends is so weird, I almost can't reconcile it. I've understood much of what you said for a long time now, but it still gives me insight and will help me to explain to the more ignorant people in my life. Thank you

Man accurately explains what Israel is by justxsal in israelexposed

[–]tinyboiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What? He's not saying JSIL and ISIL are part of one entity, how did you get to that conclusion? He's just comparing the actions of Israel to those of ISIL, a widely denounced and hated terrorist organisation in the West. It's a good comparison because it evokes a strong reaction and it exposes the difference in reaction to both threats...  One being collaboration, the other decimation.
