the first dog clearly has years of fighting experience and possesses the stern, quiet dominance of a master, but his age could prove disadvantageous when pitted against the raw power of the second dog. there’s clearly something brutal and furious burning inside him, and he walks with a carelessness that hints at his true berserker nature. the first dog’s technique will have to be flawless if he hopes to avoid being annihilated
I fucking hate this post. It’s fucking bullshit. Tell me, in what fucking universe do you exist in where raw anger and strength will overcome a seasoned master of fighting. No Fuck this. The first dog has 10,000 years of experience under his belt just look at that beard. The other dog is some angry stupid asshole and he will get his ass kicked. Fuck you and Fuck you for making me look at the url “shrexy”
“I counted everything. I counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the number of dishes and silverware I washed … anything that could be counted, I did.”
On her NASA calculations:
“Early on, when they said they wanted the capsule to come down at a certain place, they were trying to compute when it should start. I said, ‘Let me do it. You tell me when you want it and where you want it to land, and I’ll do it backwards and tell you when to take off.’ That was my forte.”
Katherine really stood out in her field because she was the only woman who asked questions.
“The women did what they were told to do,” she explained. “They didn’t ask questions or take the task any further. I asked questions; I wanted to know why.“
In 2011, when asked if she still counts things:
“Oh, yes. And things have to be parallel. I see a picture right now that’s not parallel, so I’m going to go straighten it. Things must be in order.”
The top row is mostly true. There is a fee for childcare, but poor families can have it waived, and child beneftit is not the same as basic income, and it is actually paid to the parents.
The second row is some horseshit. “guaranteed job” is an euphemism, meaning that a young person who turns down a jobb offer can have their beneefits cut, and there is still plenty of youth unemployment.
The youth parliament is a once a year gathering of some rather arbitrarily chosen kids, which btw, I, an actual Finnish person involved in actual politics, have never heard anyone talk about. No one cares about it, and it does not, in fact, do anything. It’s a debate club.
And as for lowest child poverty last figures, from 2008 show we have 14% child poverty. Which is a marked increase from it’s lowest number in 1990, 5%. The increase has been steady since 1996, which is odd because we had a depression at the beginning of the 90′s, but the economy was in an upswing from around that time.
It’s as if actually all these policies to eradicate poverty have been dismantled in the last twenty years, but liberals are too in love with the image of FInland as the greatest welfare state in the world to actually acknowledge the truth.
finland is also majority white so it’s easier to offer these things without divisive and often racist party politics.
True, and it really has gone that way once we started to have a larger non-white population.
Whilethere is multiple factors, it is notable that the dismantling of the welfare state also coincides with growth of immigration. And one big thing last year was the mass outrage that immigrants got free child carriages from the welfare office. So that also shows how much Finnns actually care about child welfare.
