Kind of spooky. Who wants to have an android girlfriend?
But then again, in the end it's also beautiful as hell.

The USF thanked a Z-blogger for providing timely information about fuel deliveries to occupied Crimea.

He's one of the most important military bloggers in the Russia.
The Russian military could never function without getting the huge amount of donations they get from the common folk. And Fighterbomber is one of the most efficient tools for that. If they can get Fighterbomber thrown to the front, the Russian military will have less resources to play with, and the war will end sooner.
He is also one of the people who has been demanding for the Russia to use more violence against Ukrainians, being angry that Putin "is being too kind towards Ukrainians"(!)
That means, he absolutely deserves all the shit that possibly can land on his face.

Finland's longest bridge opens in Helsinki, and it has zero lanes for cars
The carbrains are mad indeed. They are super annoyed that "we built a bridge for one billion euros and then blocked cars from it for no reason!"
Of course the bridge cost a bit over 300 millions. But, there was a larger project where they included everything they needed to build in the vicinity of the bridge project, so that they wouldn't need to dig the ground open, fill it, dig it open again, etc. And everything included, the project did indeed cost a bit over one billion. That number includes the four-lane Hakaniemi bridge, built mainly for cars and without any public transportation routes. And it includes the groundwork for many new houses. And some 10 km of new tram line. And a tram depot. And a block of flats that will be built right overneath the tram depot. Of course, when the flats will be sold, much of the costs of that house will be paid back to the city. And then there are two further tram bridges.
There is no space for more cars in the street network on the cape where the city centre of Helsinki is located, so they would have needed to spend at least 500 million extra to accommodate for the cars that would come from that bridge. Plus, the bridge itself would have had to be built three times as wide as it was built now, which would have cost some hundreds of millions as well. For anybody not going for the centre, there is anyway a better route through another bridge on the northern end of the Laajasalo island. So, not spending some 700 million extra, bringing the total cost of the project from a bit over one billion to a bit under 2 billion, meant that money was wasted.
I've been wondering, why do they not complain that no cars are allowed in the metro tunnels? Why dig tunnels and then prohibit driving cars in the perfectly good tunnels??

In Finland you need to wave your hand for the bus to stop and pick you up.
I waved, and I waved, and I waved, but the bus driver just didn't turn the blinker on.
But, the bus stopped anyway.
So, me: "Hello! Is your own private car a BMW, perhaps?"
The bus driver, visibly proud that someone could recognize that from her outlook alone: "Yes, indeed!"
"Next time maybe use the blinker."
(The bus driver looked much less proud)

The phrase "Plan B" was a phrase whose meaning a reasonably quick internet search did not reveal.

Violence rule
All?
So, if I collect clay in some remote place, and make a dinner plate out of it to use in my kitchen, then that dinner plate, which is my property, has been gained and maintained through violence? And it's okay to eat me if I refuse to let go of my dinner plate?
I mean, I do agree with the sentiment of "eat the rich", but for fuck's sake, how is all property supposed to be violence? All property really does include even my toothbrush.
Words do matter.

Why? This is Finland. Saunas used to be a type of shrine here before we were converted to christianity. They are seriously important in our culture.
I honestly don't see anything weird in having a sauna in an event like this. But, I am a Finn.

Big Toilet Questions [Rule]
This is something that can be found out, actually. For example, large monasteries that have existed for a millennium or longer are likely candidates. Though, maybe some airport loo generates enough turd per day that they can cover that monastery's monthly turd production in a day?
That would mean that they are able to turdify our seas in half a century as much as the large monastery can do in about 15 centuries.
What toilets have a constant queue 24/7, decade after decade? There aren't that many of those.
We can do this. We just need to put our heads into it!

The Russia, Israel and China are all doing their genocides on a scale far bigger than what USA is currently doing.
Therefore, be careful not to make it look like "these don't need to excluded because USA isn't". Perfect is the enemy of good!
But otherwise I do agree: USA has no place in any international sports events as long as its behaving like the ass it's been for at least the past 50 years.

Going to my cousin's 18th birthday celebration dressed up for the first time
I'm super envious for your style! (And body, you're lucky with that one!)
And it feels horrible what you now tell your relatives have done with you. It's entirely unfounded. What did your cousin think of your style?
