It would appear that in my country (Finland) roughly a bit over half of the garbage is burned and basically all of the rest is recycled.

Apprarently Niagara Falls, Canada is not blue da-ba-dee, da-ba-di.

I found the article in The Atlantic

Fair enough, I couldn’t find that article.

here’s enough of a lag to disallow for common action games

Lag is different from a lack of speed, which that person claimed. Lag = latency, nothing to do with speed.

You’re remarkably antagonistic for a Lemming. Are you sure you’re not a Musk-shill or a bot?

I really really really hate this redditor style tendency to call everyone who corrects facts they want to believe in a shill or a bot. I couldn’t have made it more clear that I’m not a Musk fan:

I hate this as much as you do, but come on, don’t make shit up.

It’s just that I’m overly concerned with facts, likely due to my neurodivergence. These kinds of comments feels kind of ableist, although that again is probably something I might get shit on for, as you’re not supposed to call out ableism on this platform.

I don’t understand this bot thing either. I haven’t seen a single one of these bots you’re talking about. Repost bots, sure, but agenda pushing bots? The entities that push that stuff clearly aren’t interested in this platform yet. On Reddit it’s very obvious.

it’s not fast enough for gaming

Dawg, you need like a 5 megabit connection for online gaming, if even that. Starlink offers multiple times that at the minimum.

I can understand it being too slow for many things, but gaming is one of the worst examples you could’ve possibly given.

Couldn’t find a reliable source for the 250,000 figure. The closest thing I could find was 50,000 in 2025.

I hate this as much as you do, but come on, don’t make shit up.

Just don’t engage with any community that starts with “fuck” if you have any kind of nuance for the subject matter.

It’s not a great time. If you don’t get banned, you’ll get dogpiled with angry and idiotic comments anyway, by people who have decided their own facts already.

The fact that this has 62 upvotes is making me lose brain cells.

This happened in Finland. The guy in charge is Petteri Orpo.

Edit: And his asshole cabinet of ministers.

Very likely, considering which political parties are in charge.

I call this government coalition “persrukous” (ass prayer):

pers: persut, short for “Perussuomalaiset” (Finns Party, far right)
ru: Suomen ruotsalainen kansanpuolue (Swedish People’s Party of Finland, centrist liberal, will do anything the coalition wants as long as everyone is forced to learn the language of the 5% linguistic minority, it’s always been like this no matter who the governing parties are)
ko: Kokoomus (National Coalition Party, centre-right/right wing liberal conservative, your typical neoliberal demons who only care about making the rich even richer and punishing the poor for existing, they lead the coalition)
us: uskovaiset = the religious = Kristillisdemokraatit (Christian Democrats, right wing, they’re pretty much NCP but they love Israel even more and hate everything)

I have a TP-Link router.

It’s great, but the first one I got was broken right out of the factory, so this is a warranty replacement for the first one that I got.

Slap a second screen on it and call it Nintendo Dual Switch.

That’s great to hear! Did they offer any lingonberry jam though?

Same in Finland!

I’ve never tried the British stuff, but our blood sausage is pretty good. Goes very well with lingonberry jam. :)

Scandinavian

Half of the countries listed are Finland and Estonia lol.

As per the article:

Before anything could be done to potentially decrease Superfest’s extreme durability, the brand’s parent company, VEB Sachsenglas Schwepnitz, went bankrupt after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

and Wikipedia:

With the political change, the GDR glass industry and its scientific institutions began to be wound down.

this would appear to be a result of East Germany being annexed into the capitalist West Germany, which happened 9 November 1989 – 3 October 1990.

Without commenting on East Germany, the annexation was handled terribly, and it’s the reason AFD is rising in popularity in eastern Germany these days.

I thought I was being original picking Nyan Cat as my profile picture for this platform.

Oh well, we’re siblings now I guess. :D
