I recommend testing Yerba Mate as an alternative to coffee. For me drinking even one or two cups of coffee can give a bad, anxious mood later in the day as caffeine withdraws. Mean…

You could consider working remote / hybrid with a bit longer commute. There is no need for everyone to live in a big overpriced city.

So you think tearing down a house every 50 years isn't an environmental problem? It absolutely is. Concrete especially causes major Co2 emissions.

It absolutely is discrimination as not all whites are privileged. These days your skin color doesn't matter much, what really makes the difference is the wealth of your parents. A …

"Life isn't short--it's LONG, and you have a brief moment in that life to maximize your preparation for the rest of it. Use it wisely." Anyone can die any time if they're unlucky e…

My wife's grandparents actually made a metal frame specifically designed to hold the Finnish maternity box at a comfortable height. Now it's in use for our newborn, since the box s…

Yeah, I don't really get why some people buy all this hype and even preorder stuff. Maybe I'm getting old, but I just don't care anymore for most of the new stuff, no matter how fa…

Usually you still need a decent pay, since few jobs really are interesting/meaningful enough to make you work for free, or for a salary that doesn't allow you to save enough to buy…

You can always find new friends once you start meeting people off internet. Tbh I find purely online friendships not to last long, especially now as an adult.

Nuclear is problematic, but it should not be phased out as long as there's fossil fuel used in energy generation. All efforts should go into replacing fossil fuels for now.

Of course discrimination has greatly affected wealth distribution in the past. Still, I believe wealth re-distribution through Scandinavian style welfare state is the answer, not l…

The problem is that there are a lot more "successful people" with a degree nowadays, but not that much more demand. Thus the value of nearly all degrees is lower now than decades a…

Privilege is primarily about money, not race. If you want to help poor people, then tax the rich more regardless of race and underprivileged minorities will benefit naturally more.…

It's not just US thing, similar widening gender gap can be seen also here in Finland (probably rest of Europe as well), despite us having free education. As far as I can see, many …

Most people spend that time doing a job they hate so they can afford someone else for services to meet basic needs. Not a good deal IMO.

Weird how different people have different experiences. I've had way more cases of random things breaking on Win 10 than on Linux Mint. Especially corporate Win 10 on my working mac…

It's not racist to point out higher amount of crime among many migrant populations. Often such populations are poorer and less educated than general population, both of which are a…

Exactly. From an European perspective America's obsession with race seems absolutely idiotic. Progressive taxation and major help for poor communities and families regardless of sk…

Members of certain minorities aren't underrepresented because of their skin colour, but because they are more likely to be poor and lack access to quality education at childhood an…

Probably not any time soon. The current trend among the woke crowd seems to be emphasizing importance of race, rather than trying to get past it. Worst racists of today are ones wh…

Unsurprisingly a lot of houses are built from wood in Nordic countries and Eastern Europe. It's just tradition limiting its use in some parts.

In Finland we have 100+ years old log houses still in good condition. Wood lasts just fine, as long as design, building and maintenance are done right. As some have pointed out, wo…

Keeping a cat outside can be pretty bad for wildlife, such as birds.

The alternative is to pay people for doing nothing, like many EU countries do. In the end it's not cheaper.

Few European people oppose migration of educated workers. Rather it's about asylum seekers who often arrive here illegally, and typically lack sufficient education to do well in ou…
