  • Yeah I wouldn’t know about that aspect, the only time I’ve ever had a “normal schedule” were in the army and a few months of day shift as a taxi driver. And if I had to do something in the middle of the day I just did it between fares.

    So I don’t I now if people working 8-16 in Finland take personal days but it’s possible at least. Not that it’s even necessary for most I think. There’s not many places you still have to physically go to to apply to things and whatnot. Mostly online.



  • You’re not wrong in most of what you’ve said but equally in the EU you got to apply for one and pay for it, and an ID card is ~40€. Passport is a bit more. But yeah you could actually take your own passport photo with a mobile as long as it fullfills a few requirements. Most people just use a photographer who sends them directly to the police and then you just go online and pay and wait a few weeks and get your ID in the mail.

    But yeah I know how different it is in the US especially because it affects different populations differently.






  • Can you understand that I see a fluffy animal I’d like to pet despite thinking it’s not immoral to eat them?

    Because I don’t think you do. And if you want more people reducing the amount of (factory farmed) meat they eat and/or supporting vegan products, perhaps don’t paint eveyone who eats meat as a “someone only capable of seeing burgers and leather belts”.

    I have a leather jacket. It’s older than me. It’s from the 70’s or perhaps even 60’s. It’s still in good condition because I take care of it. How many plastic (polyester) jackets have you gone through in the last 20 odd years? Because those hurt mother nature both directly and indirectly. How often do have you used an airplane? What’s your carbon footprint? Despite me eating meat, I guarantee mine is lower than yours.

    But that’s okay, because you’re not capable of equating indirect harm to anything you contribute to, no, it’s only the evil “carnists” who just can’t be nice to animals or even ever really feel happiness from the gut wrenching hunger to consume animal flesh they must be suffering from all the time.



  • You’re not wrong, cash does have more mistakes, but it evens out at the end, since you usually make mistakes both ways. Cash is riskier, yeah. But it’s also a lot cheaper depending on what the services and machines cost.

    I remember a time when people were hesitant to use cards for small payments, and some places wouldn’t take them for small purchases.

    Then cards became more popular and in recent years cash has been going away at least here, when it used to be that you had to be able to take cash.

    But yeah mistakes happen with cards as well. They’re just way harder to fix from the client end. (Client as in the company/person using a card machine to charge someone something.)

    But yeah it’s marginally easier to just take card payments but you have to keep the receipts from those as well just like you need to keep cash so there’s not that much of a difference in very small scales. (Like driving a taxi.) The bigger the scale the more it matters.
