Are your pockets empty or have you bought something after Christmas?
I (fucking finally) bought myself a symbolic calculator, I hate using Wolfram Alpha, Mathlab or some random online service to check my numbers, typing them on keyboard doesn’t feel right, still.

To be able to get funding here you pretty much need to get money from Elokuvasäätiö (Finnish Film Foundation). It is responsible for something like 42,4% of funds for new movies. and to please them the movie needs to please the decision makers there. It is hard for new faces to get in, and risks are avoided. The Finnish Film Foundation again gets its own funding from tax payer money from the Ministry of Education and Culture.
So in the end a bunch of old bureucrats sit deciding what type of film to fund, there seems to be little room for artistic freedom.
Sweden has also done everything correctly with their economy, even their Social Democrat party has driven through politics that increase wealth and reduce debts - in Finland it has been the opposite.
In America musicians, artists, movie makers get big budgets without tax payer money. Here it's not like that, musicians can barely make a living even if they are famous here.
Drinking ans Mad-Croc Choc.
Tasty but very fatty, giving it a 8/10. This is my first energy drink in 2 months, the stongest caffeine I’ve had has been 3 cups of coffee in that time, expecting a grand ol’ buzz soon. Or heart palpilations and anxiety, that’s how it usually goes.
What’s your weekend drink of choice?

Why have an opinion about anything? You can eat poop then for all I care. Personally I avoid shit, like Reddit, in my life.
This is also why I was obviously joking earlier about turning this site to a copy of Reddit.
That is believable, however, all the places where you are living under the radar is just a matter of time before you get removed.
Personally I think there is wrong with the concept too, the site is clumsy and ugly, but that's my opinion.
I haven't stated I don't care, I have stated it's a shit site that is meant for simpletons.
Just like I think Russia is a poor and corrupt 3rd world country like India and that I would never travel there, unfortunately it is big and exists and has nukes.
I wish them dead and gone, but of course my wishes won't come true.
>hasn't bought the Trine games and went on an ebin advendure alone or together with a friend or two

Trine 3 was never finished, it ends abruptly. But 1, 2 and 4 are better. I thought 3 was fine, it has nicest music, and I didn't mind how they played with the camera angle, but it is disliked more for a good reason.
I'm not saying these are some super mind blowing games, more like small comfy adventure to play through with friends. I wouldn't really play alone, but then again I don't play anything alone nowadays, I rather watch youtube videos. I only play co-op.
Sad! Why don't you have any friends?
I have read about Corona virus on wiki. Now explain me why shouldn't it have been made in the laboratory?

What are you even asking?
To add further not only is there absolutely no evidence, but doing so would require a noticeable amount of time, energy, and money. Putting aside the viral genome for a moment, modelling a protein to have higher affinity for cell surface binding partners is excruciatingly difficult and only done in a few, high profile labs in the world. I don't know how this (making covid-19) could be done clandestinely.
Looking at 4chan threads when two policemen came to my home for the housemate.

By American standards only the Spetsnaz would look scarier.
You use military surplus in policing. That's on a whole 'nother level.
However I would probably rather commit a crime in the US than in the Netherlands.
Over here it's far more industrialised so the bureaucratic process has no lag in efficiency.
Mostly since the Netherlands as port of Europe is a major hub for narcotic industries and human trafficking probably.
There was this story of a bank robbery where they didn't besiege the criminal, but instead allowed him to leave and then tracked him down.
Since it's too small a country to be decentralised and too big to not have a battle-ready police force, it's pretty much as though you have a buffed NYPD. That's how I see it.
Is it any wonder that during the machinations of the Holocaust, 78% of Jews were deported?
It had the highest grossing annihilation of its Jews among all of Western Europe.
Denmark, Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland are all Western-European nations that worked in some capacity to thwart the extermination of the Jews. The Dutch held a few symbolic strikes at the very beginning of the war... but that was it. It had the most foreigners in the Waffen-SS and had a strong ethnonationalist domestic party and a chauvinistic attitude to foreign Jews.
My point being that the Netherlands is the epitome of a Republic, a State and that it has an incredible capacity for evil deeds as long as they are deemed lawful. Personally I am thankful religion in the Netherlands is dying and that races are mixing, considering the terrible crimes of their forefathers.
That said they also suffered a great deal in urban areas from the starvation campaign by the Germans in the eve of the war's end.
Does Bernd like books? Are you reading anything right now? I was browsing Oxford's latest releases and found so many cute little books there that I'll probably never get to read, it makes me heart ache... Just look at this brief selection! Have you ever even heard of Artemidorus?

>the Unbearable Lightness of Being
I remember this book used to be really popular on /lit/ when it had some quality back in the day. It's good, isn't it? What do you think of it?
My update: I'm currently reading book 4 of Livy's History of Rome. I have a lot of other books laying around that I started recently but none kept my interest. This history is a bit dull as well and I hope it picks up when we get to more exciting dates in history (currently in 440 B.C.)
