  • Always remember when contemplating arguing with some guy on the internet, that you may be arguing about what cheese goes with what wine and then you check their post history and realize they drink their own piss. And then you’re like “Wow, I actually tried to argue culinary choices with a guy who drinks his own piss.”

    Just saves time when you accept that lots of people reject reality and substitute facts with alternative lies.






  • Ok maybe its just me being out of touch with the Finnish scene, but I seriously and I mean SERIOUSLY doubt that 40% of the content pirated here is Finnish content. Could, again, be me just not giving a damn about Finnish shows/movies personally, but I don’t even know where I’d go looking for those downloads. But just looking at the sheer amount of content that’s available in English and other languages vs Finnish content, they are in essence saying that almost all Finnish shows are pirated then, because otherwise you’re not getting anywhere close to 40% of that content being pirated. Unless they think that without piracy ALL of those people would be watching it legally, then maybe you’d get somewhere north of 20%. But even with just Finnish content, the fact is that you’d have to subscribe, I think to at least two (MTV Katsomo+ that is 13€ per month so you don’t get ads (which yes, means that there is 7€ paid tier WITH ADS…) and Ruutu+ (that is also 13€ per month, 8€ per month WITH ADS…) and that’s on top of, say Netflix. I just don’t think that without piracy those 40% would actually pay for those services, just don’t see it happening. I think they are way off with their numbers and are delusional in thinking that Finnish content would have such a big draw. I doubt it does.


  • I remember watching this interview about this guy who had to be resuscitated and he said that what he felt was “nothing”, as in kind of like when you’re sleeping and you know nothing, except turned up to a thousand. He said he had to go through some serious therapy to get over it because when he “came back”, he just couldn’t believe that he had lost that sense of not having anything to worry about. I would venture its something like that, just like going to sleep but you just don’t even know it.

    If we assume that all we are is just electrical impulses in our brains and those cease when we die, I don’t expect there to be much after that, you’re just gone and there’s nothing, so there is no suffering either.









  • I’m too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:

    • Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand

    • Let us assume that the “pole” attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M

    • With this, it would mean that a 2cm “pole” on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.

    Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.



  • In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):

    • Atomic Blonde
    • Bad Boys 1 and 2
    • Bourne Trilogy
    • Back To The Future trilogy
    • Deja Vu
    • Eraser
    • LOTR trilogy

    • Swat
    • Terminator trilogy
    • True Lies
    • Transformers (the original ones with Shia LaBeouf)

    There are many more, but I’m not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.
