Do you want a three page essay on why I think these things are?

Because I have a lot of personal experience. Decades worth, in fact, and it's no problem, but the reasons are not simple and it will take some reading from you, with a few quite incredible things, which I wouldn't have believed if some random person had told me them online 15 years ago, but of which I have actual proof. On my body as well as photos, other recordings and official papers.

I'd like to point out that "mental health counseling without any preconditions" is definitely bullshit. For free? Sure. Without preconditions? Nah.

Housing though? Available for everyone, sure, and compared to most other countries, the system is good. But it doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws in it and that we couldn't improve.

I'm just here to point out people put Finland on a pedestal.

You shouldn't. It's not terrible in most ways, and pretty good in a lot of ways. But don't idolise. Realism. It's just different, so different problems as well.

Kela (National Pension Institution) urges thousands to seek cheaper housing.

And these people are already living on the housing which is the cheapest available. It's basically just a convoluted excuse from the government for austerity to social security. Since none of the social security or the like are being reduced, they've just "indexed the calculation for reasonable living costs" or some shit, send out these letters, which people will reply to with "wtf do you think I can do, because moving would cost and there's literally no cheaper housing available" and then Kela will go "oh well guess then you're voluntarily taking a cut in your social security (so definitely don't blame the government, blame the markets or whatever)?". And that's the point of it.

Yeah here in Finland that is basically achieved by having a laundry-room in apartment buildings that you can reserve. In some of the places I lived, it did cost though, so more of a laundromat in the cellar of your building. But usually free in the buildings that have a lot of government supported people.

Does time not fly like an arrow?

Does time fly not like an arrow?

Mmm yeah that's better.

I mean I always could've done it, but you gave me the motivation.

True enough. Okay, yeah, my bad. I mean you can't make out a single sentence from the article, from this screen grab I took while attempting to read it.

"Fjake speeds."

Fucking Tulli is always making a huge deal out of anything they manage to do.

This is one of the Finnish market places. One. And for instance I used international ones when I needed to use them, not Finnish ones. The Finnish ones are tiny as well.

I remember when they genuinely proclaimed they have ended the import of benzodiazepines because of a shipment they caught, because they also got a guy.

Ridiculous. It didn't even impact the pricing, let alone shut down the trade lol.

Whoever thinks the drug prohibition is worth it is a genuine moron. Or just ignorant. Usually a bit of both.

I don't refer to anyone with something as ridiculous as "a narcotics dealer".

The subset of doctors that overprescribe narcotics

So you know they all have the power to prescribe narcotics, and they use that power, most using it responsibly, yes? You don't feel that a majority of doctors are a problem, despite them having the capacity to give even small children powerful narcotics? Do you disagree with this?

So it's not the capacity to deal narcotics which you're objecting to. It's the capacity combined with a lack of morality and actively doing bad things. Do you disagree with this?

Alcohol is in every sense of the word a narcotic. That's not me being obtuse, it's you using a word with the intent of it having a certain connotation, and you wish for that connotation to be faaaaar away from a thing it literally describes, even though that thing is the most narcotic of them all, which is something you don't even understand, because you don't even know what "narcotic" means, prescriptively.

So it's not actually inebriation or the dealing of narcotics youre opposed to. You're opposed to people who deal narcotics and have bad morals. Do all illicit drug traders have bad morals?

If you said yes, you're gonna need to read up on the war on drugs. If you did, that's only because you've been programmed to. And it would be much more beneficial for society, drugs users, drinkers, people who are sober, the world over, if we stop it with this asinine "war on drugs" which itself is propping up drug cartels and the crimes that follow.

So if you support the prohibition of drugs, you're literally supporting "the narcotix dealers" you're referring to.

That said, fuck narcotics dealers.

Why do you hate doctors and bartenders?
