when you go to a doctors office their favorite thing to do is tell you "okay check out at the front desk" when you're done. and the front desk tells you ummm you can just go! and you're like don't I have a copay? and they're like we don't know, we have to ask your insurance company first. and you're like well my insurance card says the copay is $30, can I just pay it right now while I'm standing in front of you? there's a card reader right there on the desk. and they're like nooo we have to send a representative on horseback during the next waning moon to meet with their claims adjusting associate director of benefits management and client services in the secret glade to negotiate. and you're like oh okay and go home. and you get twelve emails asking you to take a survey about your experience

AND THEN in eight months you start getting phone calls from unknown numbers and when you finally check your voicemail they're like Your Balance Is Past Due We're Going To Kill You (even though by this point you have forgotten that you ever went to the doctor). and so you go to your MyChart account and log in with your username and password and you have to reset your password for security reasons. and you get two emails that say Your Password Has Been Reset. Was This You? and you have to go find your phone and enter your two factor authentication code and then you have to select which location you visited and then you have to click through all the Reminder: Complete Your Health History Profile where they ask if you've had any new surgeries even though you definitely told the nurse about this at your visit and then you have to find the Pay Bills tab and your balance is $179.23 and you're like why is it so expensive I thought the copay was $30? and you download a PDF of the charges and find out that they charged a late fee of $15 a month even though that doesn't add up to $179.23 and you don't even remember being told you had any balance at any point and you could call a representative and ask about it but that would probably take at least half an hour and there's no way it would actually get rid of the charges. so you go pay it anyway and you have to go find a paper check to look up your bank account routing number because they'll charge you an extra 3% if you pay with a credit card and there's a fee of $2.75 for convenience also. and then you get three emails that say We've Received Your Payment! Thank You For Your Payment!

earlier this year 2 boys got expelled from my school for going on a teachers email and sending another teacher an email that says “you’re a disgusting little man” and i laugh about it all the time because imagine opening an email from your coworker and thinking it’s important and then it says that

Man no one even remembers laptop in bed. It was laptop in bed for years. Now it's just phone in bed. Maybe tablet. But usually phone. So much has changed

[latinthusiast]

me looking at this post on laptop in bed: O_O

[fairycosmos]

airpods are literally such a massive downgrade like remember when headphones cost £2 didn’t need charging didn’t randomly disconnect and didn’t get lost all the time. remember when tech kinda worked for kinda cheap

[fairycosmos]

remember when phones just fucking had headphone jacks

[latinthusiast]

back on my phone soapbox: if possible, look into smaller phone brands that may still have headphone jacks. You can still buy wired earbuds and headphones.

If you wanna be petty (like me) you can still go to the phone store, ask an employee which phones have aux jacks, and walk directly back out when they say "oh none of them do, but--" "ah never mind I'll find one online"

I literally just found out another word for "omena" (apple) is "omppu", and another word for "banaani" (banana) is "bansku".

I learnt these from my children so I don't know if this is just something kids say.

[linguini17]

Also, pottu (peruna 🍑), tomsku (tomaatti🍅), aplari (appelsini🍊).

[inseparabiles]

And piparkakku -> pipari, jäätelö -> jätski.

Finnish speakers really look at our own words and go, you know what it's a good word, but now that I've considered it I've decided that we'll have as little of it as we can get away with from now on.

[iibislintu]

Works with place names as well!

Pitäjänmäki > Pitsku

Malminkartano > Maltsu

Pukinmäki > Puksu

Myyrmäki > Myrtsi

Martinlaakso > Martsari

and then sometimes the shortened version is the Swedish translation but made sound Finnish

Kauniainen > Grankulla > Grani

Kauklahti > Köklax > Kökkeli

Tapanila > Mosabacka > Mosa

[kevytmaitohorsma]

How can you say these without including

Helsinki > Hesa

[returquoise]

Also sometimes Finnish just takes a u turn through symbolic meanings, a foreign language besides Swedish and we end up with things like

Tampere -> (an industrial city with focus on textile manufacturing) -> Manchester -> Manse

Käärijä yaps at Red Rocks Amphitheater (April 16, 2026), part 1

Decided to compile my clips of our favorite Vantaalainen's yaps and try to subtitle them (huge kudos to those who regularly subtitle Käärijä media, let alone translate it). I'm still so happy that he was welcomed so enthusiastically by the Red Rocks audience, he seemed so happy. 🥹
