Someone driving the same speed? What if I want to change lanes you dumb bitch.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Wtf I’m still sitting on cruise control trying to pass you but then you start matching the cars speed for no reason. I then try to speed up but you do too, so I let off the gas and let cruise control take over again…

He’s still there…

The suspense, the thrill! How did it end?!

I was eaten by actual Cannibal Shia Lebouf.

That one person who still comes up to you and asks if they can sit next to you

slazer2au, (edited ) in Personal space

About €180 from AMS to HEL

perviouslyiner,

but would you have to sit next to someone on the plane

slazer2au,

Almost certainly.

itsonlygeorge, in Personal space

Those are chairs

KoalaUnknown, in Personal space

When the city government wants to install anti-homeless benches, but doesn’t want the backlash from installing anti-homeless benches.

db2,

This is probably the least dickish way to go about it.

olutukko,

We don’t have homeless people on finland. Or we do but quite minimally, the numbers are in couple thousand if I recall right

crypticthree,

It’s around 4,400. It bears mentioning that the population of Finland is only around 4.5 million. The Dallas Fort Worth Metro area has a population of about 6.5 million and a homeless population of around 4,500

Kusimulkku,

It bears mentioning that the population of Finland is only around 4.5 million.

Lmao you might want to check your numbers

crypticthree,

Sorry you’re right. It’s more like 5.5 million. My point stands

Through an innovative public policy strategy that has virtually eliminated homelessness within its borders

LadyAutumn, (edited )

It is a lot better than other places but not literally 0.

Per this report, as of 2021 they had 4396 homeless people. A rate of 0.79 per thousand people in Finland.

Which to be clear is stellar… but doesn’t have much to do with the topic of anti homeless architecture.

SaakoPaahtaa,

There will always be homeless people, the ones we have are either crashing or simply do not want to live inside (due to a multitude of reasons involving decades of living in the streets with substance abuse and mental issues). The only folk you’ll find here sleeping on benches are aforementioned and students who have had one too many. Plenty of benches for both and even if all benches are turned into chairs we’ve got intoxication centres and housing available for those who prefer it.

SaakoPaahtaa,

Just for anyone who’s unaware; it’s social democracy, not communism. It is possible to have a wide public safety net without resorting to communism, which is inherently genocidal.

GoodEye8, (edited )

I think your instant assumption about it being done for evil says more about the country you live than it does about Finland, because homelessness doesn’t seem to be a big issue in Finland. That’s ~5k homeless people in a country with ~5 million people, that’s ~0.1% of the population being homeless.

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

0.1% is big. I want to see 0%.

galloog1,

The US is roughly the same percentage and it was definitely a comment from a US political frame. In the US they are simply more visible as they congregate in cities.

Kusimulkku,

As opposed to here where they congregate to mountaintops?

galloog1,

Certain demographics do not congregate everywhere. Farmers do not congregate in cities.

Kusimulkku,

But we are talking about US and Finnish homeless who do

brb,

Also 70% of those homeless people are living with friends or relatives

taiyang, in I love the festivity

Christmas lights are like PC LEDs custom builds, but for old folks.

henfredemars, in I love the festivity

It seems that I see fewer lights every year since I was a child.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

It seems to depend a lot on the area. Some neighborhoods go all out, and it’s great.

NoIWontPickaName,

I got one of those laser things the other day, idk how I feel about it.

My house is too tiny for it and with the way my lot is laid out I have to be super careful with positioning or it will blind people driving.

I might just go buy some led strings and some magnets for the roof

sbv, in I love the festivity

AND I WILL FUCKING TELL EVERYONE HAPPY KWANZAA, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, HAPPY HANUKKAH, OR WHATEVER FUCKING GREETING I FEEL LIKE USING

NoIWontPickaName,

I have a grievance! There will always be a FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

YES, AND IT WILL BE JOYFUL AND POLITE

sbv,

AND I WILL FUCKING MEAN IT

I also prevent my starvation with them so I do not see the difference.

Are they trained to ask this when everyone at the table literally has their mouth full?

anarchy79,
@anarchy79@lemmy.world avatar

I go out of my way to tip extra when they don’t approach me at all and just let me eat my damn meal in peace.

Also, if they think they’re going to get a polite lie about what I think about the food, the establishment, and the service, they are about to be sorely disappointed. Don’t ask me if you aren’t prepared for the raw truth.

BaardFigur,

Why do you tip someone, for simply doing their job? Don’t think I’ve tipped ever

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

If the food sucks, I don’t think I would have my mouth full when they came by. 😅

Husky? Nah, that sumbish is obese.
