Yeah doesn't surprise me honestly. The current government is full of morons, who have only thought about cutting expenses and taxes for the last few years. Thats pretty much all they do. Its like a fixation or something.

Pirate streams are excellent these days.

Or so I've heard. And seen. Probably.

No worries, I was just making a silly joke based on the title of the video

No lock is "high security", but Abloy are better than most.

Does he deserve sympathy?

Yes but with determination, perseverance and some other stuff added into it.

Hmm, yes, good point, about showing and answering questions.

When I was 15 to 28ish, I was the guy who was into cars, went everywhere with a car, heck, I had like 7 cars at one point. Now that I'm not that guy anymore, I find myself answering questions about getting rid of all the cars and stopping driving. A few people have gone "huh, I guess its not that bad" when I tell them how easy it is to go from spot A to B with a bus. I guess its a sort of "lead by example" kind of thing.

Jokes aside... I'm starting to get a bit desperate and despair with this shit. The world is literally on fire (with all the forest fires etc), oceans are boiling, ice caps and glaciers are melting and causing deadly waves and mudslides and everyone is just going about their business, shrugging things off and buying another iphone.

I've sold my car, I use bicycle or public trans, I spend quite a lot of time figuring out which products to buy to be sustainable, my electricity contract has 100% renewables, mostly hydro, I havent bought new clothes in like a decade (and I don't want to), etc etc... But when I talk to anyone I know about this shit, they just go "oh yeah its horrible, someone should do something about this. Anyway, I just booked a holiday, its 8000km away and we'll be using a cool jumbo jet to get there!"

Raaaahhh.

Sorry, rant over.

Yeah I just try to keep the local area clean, traffic free and stuff like that. My motivations are not saving the world, its to make my city a bit better.

About 99% yeah. I eat meat/animal products once or twice a year. I go fishing a handful times per year, usually I don't catch much, because I don't do fly fishing or such, just a rod, line and a hook with a worm in it. I have a couple of friends who hunt, I get some moose/deer meat from them sometimes.

But I don't remember when was the last time I bought meat/animal products from the grocery shop.

Okay.

Yeah I'm leaning on that way as well. I'm not big on these heroic gore festival movies. I'm glad a Finnish movie was successful internationally, but probably not my thing. I might watch it in the next 15 years.

Yeah thats sort of what I was complaining about. We, as a group, don't care enough to take collective action. I'm doing my thing, I'm not doing it because I think I'm going to save the world, I'm doing it because I think its the right thing. I'm not under the illusion that me or my friends can change the world. The point I was making (very badly), was that they are not interested in doing even the minimum, so theres absolutely no hope for getting any bigger changes done.

A bit annoying that they didn't do Gai-Jin or Tai-Pan or something.. That would have been the obvious route for me.

Yeah I think thats the most infuriating thing about all this, it could be solved but because cunts are in charge, it won't be.

Sisu. Its a mix of courage, determination, resilience, keeping your nerve, doing a scary or difficult thing even though you know that odds of succeeding are low. Its also done quietly, no complaining or boasting about it. You can mutter some curse words quietly to yourself.

Closest English word for it might be "guts" or "grit". But those don't really explain it completely.

Finnish.

Yeah...

Oh well, I've resorted to do things out of spite. I'll keep living frugally, economically, ecologically because fuck everyone else.

I will for sure watch it. I've just been a bit busy. :)

I recommend reading the book, its one of my favorites.
