100 Mb/s in Finland?

Sounds lovely. How is Finland? Hard to get citizenship?

Well, it's an EU country.

Also, if you can prove that you have Finnish blood in you, you automatically get Finnish citizenship.

Technically, no. All you need is a Blue Card. Is like the Green Card, but for European Union.

Now, just so you know, a BC is not citizenship of any state, its of the EU only. When it is revoked, you are effectively rendered stateless.

On the other hand, you can try purchasing citizenship from one of the eastern European states, and using that to get a de facto BC and moving to Finland.

There is though a subtle form of discrimination against those from Eastern European nations, especially Romania and Bulgaria.

If you can find some work over there or have enough money to invest though, you get it easily.

Requirements for Finnish citizenship

Eeeeh. Telekom still owns all the wires, regardless of who you actually buy internet from, they all just rent their bandwith. And round here, the wires are shit.

@ Begonia. But if he's buying citizenship, it doesn't matter if he's "Bulgarian", he's just an American with a Bulgarian passport.

Ah, yes. The classic "former state monopoly turned into a private infrastructure monopoly".

As far as most authorities and companies are concerned, if you go to places with a Bulgarian passport, you're considered Bulgarian. Nothing else matters - you're Bulgarian.

@ Begonia. That's certainly true, I guess.

But hey, he's successfully purchased European citizenship! Now he is bequeathed freedom, unity, affordable healthcare, and actual consumer rights!

I'm just sitting here glad my internet service works at all. It serves my wants with only the occasional hiccup, and that's enough for me.

Whenever I want to experience what the internet was like circa ~2004 I just find a random torrent to download. It's pretty amazing.

You could go here for even further back.

Oh my god.

See, the only problem is that pages don't take three minutes to load fully on that site. They need to work on that.

What do works of Quentin Tarantino and Valve have in common?

They all have hilarious lines...that immediately become not anymore, because how utterly overused they become.

DOES MARSELLUS WALLACE LOOK LIKE CAKE?

...or something.

......You know what?

Someone should start this meme: quoting both QT and Valve at the same time.

So apparently Red Bull has to give ten dollars to everyone who's bought one in the past few months, because people were stupid enough to believe it actually did anything.

Geeze.

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace?

I like the way you die, Mr Freeman.

You know what they call a Weighted Companion Cube in Paris?

Oh...oh God.

I don't know what you are doing, but my God, please, don't ever stop.

Does he look like a spy sappin' mah sentry?

Crap I don't actually know if Pulp Fiction is by Quentin Tarantino.

Pulp Fiction is indeed QT's movie, one of the, if not THE, most famous ones, at that.

If on your journey, you should encounter G-Man, G-Man will be cut.

When you pulled in here, did you see a sign that says Defective Turret Storage? You know why you didn't see that sign? Cause it ain't there, cause storing defective turrets ain't my fucking business, that's why.

Whose teleporter is this?
It's Zed's, baby.
Who's Zed?
Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Here are your names... Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red, Mr Red and Mr Red.
