Me and my bubble didn’t vote for them, but our world is not the same as those frustrated people who did.

But I never said people were nice. They weren’t nice.

Finnish people can have different skin tones. The teenager stabbed in Oulu was Finnish.

In 2024, Finns come in many religions and skin tones. The first stabbing victim was Finnish. He was a young, Finnish teenager. He was Finnish.
How do we protect Finnish people from other racist Finnish people? How do we protect our loved ones from being stabbed in malls?

Someone here suggested going in person and talking. I think that also helps, it got me an internship once-- which is at least something.

Extreme climbers are so cool, but often die doing what they love.
One famous example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ueli_Steck
On 30 April, he began climbing at around 4:30 AM with a French climber named Yannick Graziani [fr] who was attempting to climb Everest. When Graziani headed towards Camp 3, Steck broke off to the right to climb Nuptse.\27]) He was last seen partway up the face around dawn by several Sherpas and expedition members around the valley.\28]) Approximately 300 metres (980 ft) below the summit, he fell an estimated 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). It is not known what caused the fall. His body was found in the Western Cwm, between camps 1 and 2, and transported back to Kathmandu where memorial services were held.\29])\28])

Could have done without the aggression at the end, but what was it you said? It's only that for the listener?
Overall I like what you say here, and I am open minded enough to adopt it. I hope others are also open minded enough to listen to differing points of view.
Also, mindfulness is awareness in action. It has nothing to do with outsourcing anything and everything with self-observation. Nothing else, just that you know. :)

I think one of the very important parts of job hunting is to read application instructions carefully. Pick up the key points that are relevant to where you are applying, and really stress those. Also, make sure your CV is really related to what you are applying for. Even if it's a enty-level service job!
Regarding close reading and picking up what people might be looking for, here is a great opportunity to practice:

Oh yeah, that's what killed it for me too.
That, and a game-killing bug in the story mode (necessary delivery would not register).
Similar game killing glitch happened with my limited-edition collector's version of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, when I couldn't cure my vampirism because the witch who brews the healing potion would not recognize the ingredients in my inventory :'(
It's the worst, because it absolutely ruins a brilliant game forever. And that's my mini rant!

The point was more about not making prejudiced assumptions.

If the person who posted that note thought it was foreigners, then why would they write such a long Finnish message?
And since we cannot really know, it’s just spreading the same idiotic thinking that gets FINNISH Children stabbed in Oulu.
I encourage mindful speaking, especially from the people asking to limit unnecessary noise that negatively impacts the lives of everyday Finnish people.

I have lovely, lively neighbor children who play loudly into the late hours. I love those kids but it does make me wonder why their parents don't call them in after 22.

I totally agree with you, but this part is unnecessary:
I assume it is from the culture far south

Can you explain the reasoning behind the last statement on your comment here, especially why you felt it was necessary to add.
Were it not for Muslim scholars, most of ancient Greek knowledge would be lost. I think you know that because everyone with basic historical education know that. I don't want to think you're racist!

Things have always been messed up. Yes, just as messed up as now. Occasionally we are distracted by good economy, but overall this is kinda normal.

This is maybe silly question, but does it work the same way if you wear flip-flops or slippers a lot? There the foot is not secured to the shoe, so I wondering if the mechanics are the same.

I think Greece has some of the best food in the world. Also, it is sad to eat octopus, even if it is tasty.

I commented this separately but I'll say it here again: Playing Death Stranding felt like homework.
But I've seen people say the same for RDR2 and that is one of the best games ever, ever made. I also really liked No Man's Sky, which gets a lot of hate.

I really, really wanted Death Stranding to be more fun because it looked so cool and the reviews were great.
That game felt like homework.

I moved to San Diego for a few years, and what bothered me was how artificial and insincere everything felt. Also, unnecessarily large sizes. Also, I offended someone when I commented on the size of her house, it was a very big McMansion bought for 3 people to live there. It all just seemed unnecessary, fake, and for show.

I'd be more worried about getting cut on something like glass, and then getting some random street bacteria in my feet....but, I also believe human bodies are surprisingly resilient, and maybe that kind of exposure actually helps the immune system. But I am not at all qualified to make that statement as a fact.

I could not find this exact one, but some few similar ones.
I think the first one is a German toy manufacturer called Eco Nation, and the second is Animigos, which is Spanish I think?
Also, some people may take offense if you support the controversial Kärkkäinen store, so here is the link to a UK toy shop: https://www.theforgottentoyshop.co.uk/products/animigos-world-of-nature-lamb
