Alternatively, you know you’re not saying those things in good faith.

Cognitive priming, is what this post is.

“I can’t even be bothered to correct you” is like barely half a degree away from “do your own research” — the mating call of the cognitively impaired.

Idk man, I’m just refuting you “nuh-uh, totally opposite” logic.

“I think it’s intentionally wrong so it appears more impartial”

It’s sickeningly OBVIOUS that it’s very much partial. It’s putting “authoritarianism” and “corrupt” on the side that it’s established moral things are on

You guys are dipshits, but it’s no wonder with your education and national infra :D

No it isn’t

edit again, cognitive priming

Nice link and info, ty

Edit essentially it’s what the “fell out a window” is. Everyone knows what it actually is

No it doesn’t

For anyone sad enough to buy anything these muppets say, Google ‘cognitive priming’

Edit oh and how they’ve edited their comment to have ridiculous whataboutism in it, such as “hey, replication crisis exists, no theres actually zero science anywhere”.

I myself eat venison, moose and reindeer. Sometimes horse when it’s off-season for hunting, but that’s kinda janky as it’s not really game, but the incentives for “farming” horses don’t really exist so…

Anyway, my local butcher’s has some frozen 'roo. I’ve had some on a pizza when drunk once, but don’t really recall it that well for my BAC was kinda high. I do remember feeling a tad absurd eating a pizza with kangaroo on it while a guy rode past on a unicycle. I’m not imagining that, although I may have also been high at the time.

Anyway, my point is how’d you compare 'roo to beef in texture and taste?

I hated lamb for instance (and generally don’t buy it because the morality is horrible, just had a chance to taste and didn’t like). Venison, moose, reindeer, horse, all awesome. Reindeer most gamy, moose second, then venison and horse on a pretty similar level. All really lean usually.

Makes sense, thanks.

No cloth can protect you from strong wind.

lots of layers and the outermost as leather, is my go-to. But yeah, wind is a bitch. I live in SW Finland, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, at the sort of “outernmost” part of continental Finland in the part where the Baltic Sea makes that sort of Y-shape.

If you just go 50-100 km inland, the weather is way different. You get nice calm winters. Here? It’s wet and freezing all the time in the winter, with winds raping your face. It’s like tiny ice crystals sand blowing your face. I won’t have a single bit of skin exposed when I bike to the store in the winter. Sometimes maybe a part of my face depending on how bad the goggles fog up depeding on the scarf(ves) I’m wearing.

But if I had like 5000e to spend on outdoors gear, none of that would remotely be an issue.

The saying is basically from my army days. As a Finn, we have conscription, so pretty much all males go (and quite a decent part of females as well) [and I’m using “male” and “female” and not “man” and “woman” because that’s how the goverment would look at it despite your personal gender identity]. And learning the proper way to gear up is a large part of the military service in Finland.

One night I spent in -40 outside (no need for F or C they converge at that temp). One night I spent sleeping in a tent that I wouldve drowned in had I slept face down. Shit like that. Although you can’t really do anything when there’s just too much water. Multiple layers and keeping dry is key.

But yeah tldr I prefer a leather outerlayer. Proper leather jacket will keep the wind out. Although usually they’re not designed to cover all of you, so you’ll need good gloves, scarf, and something to counter the wind through the zipper.

I mean our wind speeds are not like in America I don’t think The record gust recorded in my local area is 41.6 m/s (approximately 93 mph) I think. But dammit my windows used to bang like crazy when I lived some 100m above sea level in a place from which I could literally see the harbor in Turku. And the people who owned it were cheap cunts who didn’t remodel it after I moved out. (I had a thermometer in my kitchen which topped out at 50C and it hit the top. I had candles in my kitchen melt. and they weren’t in direct sunlight.)

No such thing as bad weather, only insufficient/bad gear/clothing.

I’m genuinely too fatigued to figure out the logic behind this brainfart.

Can someone eli5 pls

It’s not that bad in a train, as people can’t just run away before the next stop. You wouldn’t have this level of trust in a street cafe for instance.

Just today some bastard stole my headlight from my bike. Like two hours ago. Finland. We’re known as rather honest.

But the junkie who desperately needed a 10e flashlight is welcome to have it, the pathetic sack of shit.

Most people would still say they’re going to a grocery store, they wouldn’t specify “hypermarket”.

It’s mostly to due with sizes. There’s three levels, and the leading chains in Finland both (or “all” before one got bought up by the second biggest and now there’s generally only two) have a small store, which have their own names, Sale/Alepa and K-market, then there’s the larger ones, S-Market and K-Supermarket (formerly KKK-supermarket, really), and then the largest ones, Prisma and K-Citymarket.

It used to be only the small grocery stores had the longest opening hours, but some years ago they released those regulations and now even the hypermarkets are 247. But the small and medium sized usually don’t. Some small ones are in larger cities, I think.

But yeah it’s generally just about the size, and “just” supermarkets not having department store shit as much. Like the supermarket K-Supermarket 1.2km away from me has their own fish& meat counter for instance.

The grocery store near me has a pharmacy, but the hypermarket has a pharmacy, a few restaurants, large deli and meat counters, and of course an a liquor store as in a government store that sells specifically alcohol. They’re allowed to sell any alcohol, whereas grocery stores are just allowed to sell drinks up to 8%, and that’s up from like 4.9% for the most of my life. Some years ago they changed it so grocery stores can sell up to 5.9, then when that didn’t break society, it took like 2 years for the limit to change to 8%. And I’m pretty sure someone’s gonna push for it to go to like 14 so we got proper wines in grocery stores.

The 8% crap is just awful wine. But drinkable if you carbonate it a tad. Sounds weird perhaps but I enjoy it.

Anyway the department store part of the hypermarkets is often kinda meh. Like if you want electronics or something, you’ll usually go to a store that specialises in them. Like a large electronic store for clothing store or whatever. But you can sometimes get decent deals or some store brand clothes for a nice price. But like in general electronics, hardware, general hardware. There’s kind of a lot of places with a lot of stores like that.

Like 2km from me by bike is an IKEA and then lots of similarly sized stores selling hardware / electronics / and always a few competing ones. Like there’s several furniture stores within literally a stones throw from the ikea parking lot. (You’d have to be pretty good at throwing, but I maintain the assertion. Like frisbee golf throwing distance, definitely.)

Same with electronics stores. Like three huge stores in the same area, all within like 2-3min drives from each other. Some almost next door to each other.

Also hardware stores.

And sports stores.

Tons of others.

There’s even I think like a horse-supply store, but that’s a bit to the side. Not as mainstream.

Well no, not just produce. You’ll find a section for general shit even in the smaller stores. Like tape, glue, underwear (at least for women, usually really thin cotton ones and I’m furious they don’t sell the same for men, but I’ve still used them very comfortable). You can find basic household items like cleaning stuff and diapers and everything you need. but like the selection of tapes or glues won’t be anything akin to a proper department store or a hardware store.

You can definitely find dog food and laundry detergent in all stores. And I mean it, I’ve worked in a bunch basically Kwik-E-Mart style shops and they all had those as well

But hypermarkets will be like almost on the level of specialised hardware stores in their selection of actually usable things. And they’ll have bikes and whatnot.

Basically the sizes go with the square footage of the market in Finland at least, I don’t think it’s to due with what is being sold. And at one point only smaller stores were permitted 247 opening hours or sunday opening hours, whereas larger stores would only be open from 7-21 or something. Nowdays they’re actually open 247 as well.

But they can only sell alcohol from 09 to 21

Well a hypermarket is to a supermarket what a supermarket is to a small grocery store.

So just a very large supermarket that families would usually use for “the big shop”. I assume the equivalent is one of those markets you need a card to enter in the US, idk.

Except you don’t need a membership (but usually there’s good benefits if you have one) and you it’s not all family size products.

Oh my bad, actually the definition is just supermarket+department store, basically.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermarket

500m to a small one, 1.2 to a fairly sized supermarket, some 3 km to a hypermarket.

Walking to the hypermarket and back is something I used to do quite frequently with a friend or another, but it is a slight chore, and I wouldn’t enjoy going in -25C.

Usually if I have to walk I’ll go to the supermarket, 1.2km is a very reasonable distance to walk.

Or 500m for some quick stuffs like a few beers or tobacco from the closest small store

Wait, liars are gonna lie to you, even when you tell them you’re annoyed by them lying?

and party on dudes

This is why punctuation matters.

It’s the difference between helping your uncle Jack, off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Well, yes, that’s my point, sort of. I’m pointing out that it’s never really black and white in that way, so his proposal of opposites isn’t really that good.
