Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

And it was an integral part of the Swedish Empire for a long time. Until the Napoleonic Wars, where Russia pinched it off Sweden (they got Norway from Denmark as compensation).
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.I caught the Napoleonic Wars part... and knew about the Swedish empire part... guess I never really put two and two together there.
To be honest, I mostly think of Finland as "that place that in modern times fended off freaking Russia with about a 100:1 casualty rate, Russia coming off the worse for wear." Also they speak a Uralic language.

Which explains why Finnish isn't even vaguely understandable—it's not even a Germanic language like the language of its western neighbor.

Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.Hey, Finland gives us the Hackapelites! They can give non-Polish hussars and Prussian Uhlans a run for their money!
That, and the Nice Hat.

Support Taleworlds!If you goomba stomped someone, what would you say as a Post-Mortem One-Liner?
It makes geographic sense, heck it's closer to the other Uralic languages than Hungarian.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.Wow, this old laptop has the slowest HDD ever in it. Plenty of space (12 GB), but...4200 RPM (slow even by late 1990s standards) and only 512k cache. Arglebargle.
I have an 80 GB Scorpio Blue that's going in it as soon as this Linux upgrade finishes.
online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comAh. Crap. All the thinly distributed language groups... I was honestly of the belief that Uralic languages were mostly clustered around the Slavic core, and Finnish and Hungarian were all that remained. Looks like there's actually a bunch clustered around Finland.
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.I Read That As Google Fox. This probably doesn't belong. And yet another thought sits in my head... no wait, 2 thoughts

Is there a historical reason for Finland to not like Sweden? I feel as if there is something I am not getting.
