True, that's the way I, as an outsider, understand it too. But this resilience might be the reason why they are so happy despite the lack of sunlight for months on end.
I have always attributed the seemingly paradoxical Finnish happiness, or what they call "Sisu", to three key factors: - Copious amounts of good home-made Vodka - Tango dancing - A healthy dose of absolute hatred for all things Russian
I already despair way more than I should, but I haaate it. Laughter is always the best medicine. Here's to Robin Williams!
I'm laughing waaay more than I should
I bet Justin Trudeau would absolutely love that idea 😁
Was hat Julia Klöckner da schon wieder gemacht?
In other news: Water better not be wet, sky better not be blue...
Er meint wahrscheinlich inkl. des Horst-Wessel-Liedes, oder ist das erst in zwei Wochen innerhalb der Merz-Union sagbar?
Donc, un collaborateur idéal du Poutinisme 🤷♂️
Hier, die Geschichte noch mal toll subsumiert von Martin Hogger. Leider hinter der Paywall. www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin... #USOpen #Majchrzak
"I can actually play tennis", #Bublik said to Sinner after the game. 6:1, 6:1, 6:1... in 80 odd minutes. It's not like Bublik had his best day today... But man, #Sinner was in downright scary form tonight. #USOpen
Here's an obituary written by one of his closest friends, legendary cartoonist Terry Mosher aka Aislin. madm.b5.net/nick/nickgaz...
Movie you've watched more than six times using a gif (no, Disney, no Star Wars, no LOTR, no Star Trek)
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
You've just made me spit out my coffee 😂
Yes, as far as I've heard, he thankfully is. My favorite has to be Nick Auf der Maur. An absolute legend around Montreal, not sure how well known he is in the rest of Canada, but he certainly was a colorful figure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Au...
Ah yes, good ol' Jean Chrétien and the Shawinigan handshake 😅... One of my favorite bits of Canadian history. I've actually been to Hull on a school trip more than 20 years ago, I don't remember anything from that trip, other than being showed the place where it happened and being told the story.
As far as the States go it should have been done when Fox News reared it ugly head decades ago. Unfortunately, those who could have done something about it chose to laugh it off as a bunch of nut jobs, grosely underestimateing the idiot population. As for the rest of the world it's as Trudeau said:
I cannot even begin to express how much it irks me that people who would have been rightfully called fools, idiots, half-wits, or worse, are now labeled sceptics. RFK jr. is not a sceptic, he couldn't ever question scientific findings, as he's unable to understand how science arrives at a consensus.
Das ganze Konrad-Adenauer-Haus, wenn man dort hört, dass man an einer lebenswerten Zukunft für irgenenwen (außer sich selbst) interessiert sei:
Not a single hair peeping out from under that cheep Chinese-made hat. It looks like the ferret he glues onto his scalp every morning has finally managed to escape, good for the little fella.
Deutschland 120:57 Großbritannien. Ja, es sind nur die Briten, aber das war schon, so wie in den letzten Spielen, richtig, richtig stark! Wer sich, so wie ich, noch an die Dirk-Bauermann-Zeiten erinnern kann, reibt sich, ob der Entwicklung beim #DBB immer wieder verwundert die Augen. #EuroBasket
Breaking: White house releases proof of live photo of Donald #Trump.
Which TV Series have you rewatched more than once?

Welp, it looks like this sorry excuse for a human being is finding out in real time just how much of a bitch karma is... #USOpen #Majchrzak Polish millionaire Piotr Szczerek Drogbruk company review hit by backlash after US Open viral video - The Economic Times share.google/1dcrGsIG2RVT...
Die Tochter des nervigsten Foodbloggers der Republik bewirbt sich also um den illustren Titel des dümmsten Promis (sic!) des Landes... Nun gut, Markus #Söder hält sich ja auch für eine Art bajuvarischen Sonnenkönnig. www.spiegel.de/panorama/leu...
West Side Story?
Asking for a friend...
Dear Kennedy curse, would you hurry up? Pretty please. Signed, Everyone with two working brain cells.
Was für ein Monsterblock von Daniel Theis! Dikembe Mutombo wäre stolz! #EuroBasket #LTUGER
Understanding and non provocative, eh? Those are not the personality traits generally exhibited by a Katsap... So good luck with that.
Jan-Lennard #Struff 6:4 6:3 7:6 gegen Francis Tiaffoe. Struffi nimmt tatsächlich #Tiaffoe in drei Sätzen auf dem Turnier, was'n geiler Typ! #USOpen

You can't be serious... What an amazing photo of Jasmine #Paolini! Give that man the picture of the year award already! #USOpen share.google/90xCIGGB3g20...
What we need in Europe is a new "Operation Unthinkable", but I'm afraid our leaders are more like Petain than like Churchill 😤
Immer wenn Jens Voigt französische Namen ausspricht stellen sich mir sämtliche Nackenhaare auf... Gaudu... Meine Güte, der Mann hat nüscht mit dem niederländischen Käse zu tun! #Vuelta #Eurosport
Looks absolutely amazing, I shall try it over the weekend 😊
"Konservative" wieder 🙄 (Reaktionär ist eigentlich der Terminus Technicus) Noch einmal zum Mitklatschen für alle Spahn-Freunde, die im Geschichtsunterricht Kreide holen waren, als über Franz von Papen gesprochen wurde: Man 👏 redet 👏nicht 👏 mit 👏 Nazis 👏! www.zeit.de/2025/37/juli...
I'm happy to hear that! After all, life is beautiful and can be awfully short! Have a wonderful evening!
I always do... Plus I feel much more at ease with myself than when I was a young pup. So I really don't have an issue with turning 40.
That's what the ladies tell me... But then again, us guys, we tend to be oblivious to that kind of thing 🫣 (regardless of our age)
Yeah, while as a Berliner I don't speak, or really understand Dutch (it would be a different story if I were from the north-west of Germany), as a native speaker of German I do get the gist, especially with subtitles on 😅
Haha, you are way too kind to this old dog 😅
Aaaaah! I was trying to avoid that mental image... Plus, wouldn't it be so much more satisfying if they had Latino blood running through their vains?
Yeah... (Un)fortunately it does. Sometimes I find myself at this stage (I will be 40 next month 🫣) :
Yeah, it's heart breaking! My parents, born in the early 1950's, still knew neighbor's kids affected by polio.
True, the Slender Man however does seem to have reproduced, or it just might have been the Latino pool boy 😅
Jeebus, that missing "t" in statute of limitations makes me look like a MAGAt 🫣
Unfortunately he did reach adulthood though... With RFK jr. banning vaccines that might not be such an issue anymore in the foreseeable future.
Welp, it was more than 20 years ago, so statue of limitations and so on... also as a teenager I lived by the German Antifa creed: "Legal, illegal, scheißegal!" (legal, illegal, I don't give a fuck). Jeez, I sometimes miss teenage me 🫣
Yup! I remember eating 30 1$ hotdogs (admittedly rather small) after a back to back basketball game when I was a junior in high school.
And then people tell you that the Google algorithm is not self-aware 🙄
That reminds me of a night in the States maaaany moons ago, in high school, when we practcally forced a rural Taco Bell to close, because their supplies were no match for our munchies 🫣
Sure, mi meme es su meme!
True probably the only thing that is true of...
Oh yes it is!
I absolutely agree. This reminds me of a project some marketing students did a few years ago: youtu.be/trcLKX1Yw34?...
Maybe... 😏
Yes, occasionaIly I have a decent idea 😂 The Latin inscription translates to: "Darwin Award - We are richer for having lost you."
I like boobies too, not only of the avian persuasion... anyhow, here's a prize I would love for Trump to win, the sooner, the better:
Someone should probably avoid windows and invitations for tea for the very short rest of their lives 🤷♂️
Unhinged, eh? Because nothing says stable personality quite like being in a cult 🤷♂️
Everyone has been saying the bruise on Trump's hand is bad but I didn't know it was this bad. You can run but you can't hide from Jeffrey, Donald! Oh and today would be a great day to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
I'm so so sorry to hear about Midnight. Hang in there Jennïe! I'm sending you lots of positive energy.
I wonder how many years and how many monkeys with typewriters it would take to recreate this image...
Ich habe das GIF des gackernden Philipp #Amthor in den letzten Jahren immer wieder benutzt und hatte stets das Gefühl, dass es mich an etwas Anderes erinnert... Heute morgen fiel es mir wie Schuppen von den Augen: Philipp Amthor könnte von der Mimik her die Vorlage für Col. Hans Landa gewesen sein 😱
Carlos #Alcaraz 😮, kann mal mal so machen. #USOpen
All right, so I'm slightly shocked, my trusted 24/7 bar in Berlin, that has been in operation since the late 1940's has just introduced card payment... I absolutely need to check if pigs started flying 😅
Ouch, I got stung only once, more than 30 years ago, but I still remember it. My little niece got stung this summer and my brother used this little device on it. Apparently it does work wonders... www.shop-apotheke.com/arzneimittel...
Welp, knowing how awful Murican edumacation tends to be, let's just stick to two wars that happened during the couch fucker's adult life. He claims to even have been in one... Neither in Afghanistan, nore in Iraq hostilities have ended through diplomatic means, but trough military might.
Jeebus, for a split second I thought it was Aaron Rodgers 🫣
It is a bit toothless, but a decent start... Vive l'Europe !
That's me as soon as the temperature hits 30° C.
I came here to write exactly that! Let's wait until he gets a few liters of vodka into his system 🤷♂️
Hier die offizielle Antwort aus der Unions-Fraktion:
Welp, kudos to him for being able to find such small objects, I guess everyone has at least one talent 🤷♂️
Reminds me of this photo. Queen Elisabeth II died two days after this photo was taken. One can hope, I guess...
All the tomes you could fill with stuff Trump doesn't know... Let me put it this way, you could easily fill the entire Library of Congress with it, twice!
Ghandi had the three wise monkeys, Trump has 78 million imbecillic MAGAts 🤷♂️
Donnie Dipshit doesn't know shit about fuck, what's new?
Who's cutting onions? Such a lovely, joyful video, and fuck Russia for causing such situations!
Immer diese konservativen Schneeflöckchen 🤷♂️
Nein, liebe Freunde, ich sitze nicht im Paris der 70er Jahre. Ich versichere Euch, das ist Berlin im Jahre 2025.
"Dieses fetischhafte Wurstgefresse von #Söder ist ja keine Politik." Dieser Satz subsumiert das Wirken des Markus Söder auf eine derart prägnante Weise, die verdeutlicht, warum der Mensch, der Politiker Robert #Habeck dem Berliner Politik- Betrieb fehlen wird. www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/dies...
Wir leben wirklich in der allerdümmsten aller möglichen Realitäten 🤦 #Söder #CSU
I hate Florida Nazis... I'm pretty sure that Jack and Elwood would concurr.

The one award I would gladly see #Trump win:
He should be fed to his cultists. The Green Butchers style. They would literally eat it up 😁
I also like how he didn't bankrupt casinos and didn't bury the mother of his children in a shallow grave for a tax break.
Hey #NAFOfellas, does anybody have a few dozen rotten eggs for me to hurl at the Katsap embassy in Berlin? #SlavaUkrainii
Downtown #Berlin, or Ventura Boulevard?
