  • Kaveri kehuu usein näitä Saarikiven kolumneja ja ymmärrän kyllä miksi. Olen itsekin havahtunut siihen, että englanti hiipii hiljalleen osaksi kieltä ja ilmaisuja. Sen takia pyrin välttämään esim. anglismien käyttöä omassa puheessani (on muuten pelejä striimatesaa aika hankalaa ja samalla hauska haaste😃).

    Toisaalta historiaihmisenä näen, että kulttuuri ja kieli elää ja muuttuu. Se on tehnyt niin aina ja tekee niin jatkossakin. Vieraat kielet voivat myös rikastaa kulttuuria ja kyllä tietynlaisella kansainvälisyydelläkin on arvonsa. Se että Turku brändätään (anglismi, huom.) Turku Centeriksi on ohimenevää markkinointipöhinää. Muutaman vuoden kuluttua sillä on jokin toinen nimi ja uudet sloganit (anglismi, taas).

    Oma näkökulmani on siis, että Suomen kieltä tulisi arvostaa ja vaalia, mutta kuitenkin niin ettei samalla dissailla (taas!) muita kieliä. Tulevaisuuden Suomi on entistä monikielisempi ja -kulttuurisempi paikka ja olisi tärkeää saada tästä mahdollisimman paljon hyvää ja hyötyä irti.

  • Broccoli reveals it's true form: Albert R. Broccoli the famous James Bond 007 film producer.

  • The tech industry for example. It is easily the biggest, most varied and in many cases the most innovative (due to educated people and resources) in the world. This benefits the economy and the military for example.

  • Well it does and it doesn't. Turkey's trajectory was very different when it joined the alliance. It was one of the most democracy leaning Muslim countries. Also, having a common adversary (Russia) also helped to make them a member.

  • Well yes and no. In some sense US is very backwards, in others it's ahead of everyone else. It's a big country so lots of different things fit there.

  • Yes I know that very well. In fact I took part in creating a exhibition about American Child laborers in the turn of the 20th century. It's just that news like this remind you how backwards the world's greatest superpower can be...

  • I hope He is able to bring change to the community, because that story is fubar.

  • Just stated using Revanced Extended YouTube. One of the best apps there is. Makes everything so much more convenient and with zero cost.

  • Or if the actual owner is the bank that the resident is in debt with. You fail to pay your debt and the bank invites repossessers and the police to evict you and take your stuff.

    If I was a vampire, I'd definitely look for a job as a repossesser or a cop.

  • Maybe so, although I don't really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both "fields". I've found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological "jargon" to "normal" people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it's benefits.

  • Nox Archaist - Wasn't expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it's the most engaging game I've played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

    And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.

  • A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.

    I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a "techie". It's just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you'll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).

    So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.

  • With big military and startegic position they are one of the most important countries for the alliance. Therefore they also have the cabability to start a circus like they did with Finland and especially with Sweden.

  • For some it's intentional and motivated by racism. For others it's probably just cold and calculated opportunism.

    The latter don't really care as long as they profit politically or financially from such policies. It's like selling your soul to a devil, because "who cares".

    Anyone supporting bullshit like that should experience few years as a slave to really see what the benefits are. Stupid assholes...

  • Every time I think that the US is a civilized "first world" country, they find a way to remind me of the reality. It really is shocking how backwards some things are in certain states.

    Hope you get a federal law to prevent similar accidents in the future...

  • Florida should just be removed from the rest of the US and continue to exist as an isolated island for assholes.

  • It's the same age old story: big guy punches a small guy and when the small guy punches back, the big guy starts crying that he's been punched.

    Cause and effect, you reap what you sow.
