speaking of norwegians being racist there is a bbc thing where they wonder why so many people say they're not racist but are against not using the n-word anymore
confirmed to have personally killed over five hundred people and estimated as to have possibly killed another two hundred on top of that

Hmm. japan was talking about going out on his bike today, but I am reluctant to wake him as he didn't come to bed 'till after 3am (well, 4am given we changed to GMT+1 last night).

he was a quiet farmer, then suddenly russia invades

It took several years for Häyhä to recuperate from his wound. The bullet had crushed his jaw and blown off his left cheek. Nonetheless, he made a full recovery and became a successful moose hunter and dog breeder after World War II, and hunted with Finnish president Urho Kekkonen.
When asked in 1998 how he had become such a good shot, he answered, "Practice." When asked if he regretted killing so many people, he said "I did what I was told to as well as I could." Simo Häyhä spent his last years in a small village called Ruokolahti located in the south-east of Finland near the Russian border

Will he be mad if you do not wake him?
No. But I should probably see if he wants to get up in a couple of hours just in case he doesn't want to sleep past midday.

i felt really bad for the clerk because he was part of our conversation but he had to deal with that thing and i was like "oh my god i can't be in here i am going to collapse this kid's entire face with my fucking fist i need to get out of here before i commit violence"
like even just his voice, good lord
there's always kids like that in hobby stores
they are annoying as fuck

Astounding!
erm...this would be because I have a healthy long-term relationship and we've had nearly 7 years to get to know each other.

Always keepin his eye out, that one
and russia hasn't invaded since
seriously would you want to go up against an unkillable super-sniper?
they called him the White Death for chrissake
when he woke up after getting shot in the face the russians all went "oh god he can't die he CAN'T DIE" and the war ended
i think i'm a kinder, gentler person nowadays because i will meet a kid like that and resist the temptation to beat him into paste or berate him into tears
nope, i just clench my fist, bite my lip, and leave the area
healthier!

Yes, only the real-life girl who I associate with that comic treats everybody that way, whether she was ever at risk of being hurt or not.
I meant meeting the one person who understands you and then her going away forever
In my experience all the women I meet who I think understand me end up leaving as a result of things I thought they initially understood.
I worry about this. Like, if when it becomes clear someone is interested in me based on my stranger defining qualities those qualities might become exaggerated reflexively as a way to increase interest. This would inevitably result in a strangeness overload in which the person I am trying to generate an even stronger attraction winds up less attracted to me than before.
It would seem that anyone with this problem would need to employ the Douglas Adam's flying method, except with social interaction. So each time you think you're making progress with someone, distract yourself, and hopefully you'll forget how you should have just crashed and burned.

IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS ATTACKED BY A LARGE DOG.
why is there blood
there is entirely too much blood here
Which we decorated with coloured lemon icing!
Then we watched the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven!

NERD ALERT

I've seen that graphic before and that makes sense.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
which annoys me a little
naw who was really hardcore was this Finnish guy
confirmed to have personally killed over five hundred people and estimated as to have possibly killed another two hundred on top of that
he ranks up there as one of the people who has personally killed the most human beings in history and has the highest recorded kill-count of any soldier in a war
he survived being shot in the face
anyone else feel like this has happened to them?
I know
he is the best
the best thing is that he really embodies finland during the winter war
he was a quiet farmer, then suddenly russia invades
he picks up his rifle and goes to war
then he kills about 700-1000 russians
and then he goes home to his farm again
Will he be mad if you do not wake him?
that kid at the hobby shop in the blue hoodie
ugh

It takes a lot of hard work and some sacrifices.
We certainly didn't "get" each other overnight.

They don't do anything about it.
People that try to stand up for everybody else I just laugh at.
Then I go to bed alone and cry myself to sleep.
