I didn't honestly even think about that. Being from the nordics means throwing them outside is the same as killing them most of the year and keeping them all out is kinda impossible, they'll find their way in because outside is cold

*(edit for managing to cut the text in half)

They're actually pretty beneficial (eating other more annoying bugs and all that) and usually not harmful to human residents in any way (except if you live in Australia). Killing them because "aah yuck spiders!" isn't a good enough reason to many

I’ve never understood the argument that you shouldn’t complain about the environment you interact with because other people interact with worse environments.

I call this the "children of Africa" -argument. Basically, it's an argument that you can never complain about anything or do anything to better something, because "some kids are starving in Africa"; someone always has it worse. It's purpose is to belittle and brush aside either the problem worded out or the person saying it (or both).

The Finnish word for love is indeed "rakkaus" (I love you = (minä) rakastan sinua), for anyone wondering. With a hard r and two hard k's I doubt many non-natives would guess it means love

The downside is, neither can any adult. I think the first name limitations should only apply to kids; legal adults should be able to change their names to whatever they want, no matter how stupid it is. It could only hurt themselves after all

Yeah I never expected to even reach thirty with my self-destructing body and ever worsening mental health. Every year towards fourty is quite the achievement

One of my pet peeves: he's not a herding type of dog, but a livestock guardian. Very important difference in instinct, behaviour and purpose. He does not herd, he guards!
