No yeah I’m doing actual cognitive therapy, not “therapy” as in finding myself as a late teen early 20’s with my first trips.
I don’t care about people being spiritual, but when they claim their spirituality is superior to actual objective medical science, without being able to reason how or why, then they’re just being religious.

“They’re doing forestry, all of them in Helsinki!”
What are “implications”?
If only the snow had thawed, the Finns would’ve lost
Doesn’t even realise continuation war went on for several years.
Like literally you’re living in a fantasy that’s clearly been programmed into your brain. Has very little to do with reality.
You can see that from reading the comments you’ve left.
You’re arguing the Grand Duchy of Finland was more urbanised than Russia, which has a city of millions of people literally a few hours away from most Finns. We still don’t even have a city with a million people. You’re trying to pretend that Finland was really “urbanised” when there still even isn’t a large city, to be frank. Even the way a city is defined is different in different places.
The capital area is starting to resemble an urban area. You just keep living in your Soviet propaganda fantasies, I don’t really mind
Look at the population density.

The point I’m trying to make is that Russia on the eve of the revolution was less urbanized and industrialized then Finland.
Yeah and you have zero sources for that. Everything points the other way.
The article also says that Finland was (and is) an agrarian society. You’re just trying to defend USSR losses, clearly.
“Noo noo USSR had it worse and less industry and Finns were all in cities, doing forestry.”
Fucking insane man stop the brain rot propaganda
- Comment on Anon judges Karl 2 weeks ago:
At the time of the revolution finland was more urbanized then the rest of Russia, the population was more concentrated in Helsinki, like you said involved in paper milling
Are you fucking high?
Do you know where paper comes from? What Finland is covered by? What stopped the Ruskis? Forest.
By what inane and/or insane logic do you think that forestry is an urban activity? :DDD
In 1939, Leningrad had 3.1 million people. The entirety of Finland had 3.7 million people. Helsinki had ~250k people.
Most of Finland was just rural. You’re spouting complete fantasy.
Hell, I’m from one of the largest cities in Finland and a vast majority of it is still considered very much rural, there’s only like a square kilometer or so in the centre that’s actually city city.
Zero facts, utter nonsense. The only thing we have is large docks, because we needed large docks for the export for the forest industry. That’s why we build the largest cruise ships in the world ((fact)[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon-class_cruise_ship]).
But you’d be very silly indeed to think that only logging was done on-site, instead of actually making the paper mills and cellulose factories where the logging happens to save driving through half the country.
Most of the country is still empty. Not as empty as Russia, because we just don’t have the space, but it’s not far. Russia is the largest country in the world with vaaaast empty spaces. Finland is quite small. Yet we still only have double the population density. (For comparison the US has almost 10x that, Germany 25x, UK ~29x).
We also had double the population density in 1939.
According to this site
www.macrotrends.net/…/urban-population
www.macrotrends.net/…/urban-population
The urbanisation for both countries in 1960 was very similar at ~55%. However Russia urbanised quicker and then baselined, whereas Finland grew slowly. Ofc that doesn’t tell us much of the 40s but they didn’t have the data and I was loathe to waste time
So yeah, what goals did Russia achieve, if we put away the land claims. Which by the way wasn’t in any way comparable to the splitting of the Koreas. Finland didn’t split in half.
By the end of WWII, Finland lost roughly 12% of our pre-war territory. Korea literally split in half, 48% to 52%. Not comparable. There isn’t an active Finnic population on the Russian side claiming to be the “real Finland”. We lost 0% of our national unity.
My grandma was a refugee thanks to Russkis. She’s still my grandma, spoke Finnish, lived in Finland and I’m Finnish as well. I don’t think the same thing happened in Korea.
So what “initial aims” did the USSR achieve? Their initial aim at invading Finland was to take a tenth of it?
Russia was operating on planned economies, which just don’t function yet. Perhaps in the 24th century, but not yet. For instance they didn’t want to label products like screws, so that people and factories are equal. But that also meant no culpability for the factories or workers for shoddy quality. Which very soon led to them having to actually label the products, ie sort of branding them. Ofc “factory 141 of the worker’s paradise” or smth isn’t exactly unique branding, but to anyone who’s been in the military, numbers can be as much branded as the Coke Santa. For instance a lot of people will know the 101st Airborne Division. That’s just a number.
So despite their ideals with the planed economy, the USSR actually ended up doing a lot of market economy things, because they’re not in market economies “just because” but because they have functionality. Capitalism might take those things too far and pervert them, but Soviet communism didn’t see any value in any of them and failed.
Anyway, eagerly waiting your response on how forestry is an urban activity lololol

A 10 to 1 advantage in manpower won’t matter if that 1 guy is in a tank and the 10 guys don’t even have a gun.
You’ve never heard of the Winter War, I see.
Russia had a massive war industry in comparison to Finland, where it was literally non-existent.
Even then it shows the lopsided Soviet industrial capacity with how many tanks and planes they had.
Finland had a couple of WWI tanks. And I mean just a couple. When the USSR attacked, we had already placed an order for new tanks from the Brits (Vickers 6 ton tanks) but the first ones were delivered in 1938 and the deliveries weren’t complete when the Ruskis attacked.
So they literally had more manpower and more war industry, especially armored vehicles. Tanks.
They were wasted on a war in terrain that would’ve been difficult without snow, and even more so with.
We found the Russian tanks actually really useful and they helped us keep Vanja at bay. So it wasn’t the terrain, it was user error.
Yeah the soviets weren’t able to fully conquer finland but they did get a lot of there demands
Please do elaborate. Yeah we lost Karjala and the NE arm. But that’s like saying the US won the Vietnam War. They most certainly didn’t. Perhaps people won’t say Vietnam or Finland straight up won, but both show just how much determination matters.
Because in both cases the invading force had a lot of people from thousands of kilometres away who had never even seen the land they were invading.
So what do you base this “Finland was much more industrialised” bit? Because we really weren’t much of a country until Nokia. Really the only thing Finland made was what you wiped your arse on. As in we had a well growing forest industry, and still do. But other than that, we weren’t highly industrialised in the 20th century. That only came in like the 70’s.
You know people were on rations right? Like my grandma went on and on about rationing. And my dad still had a booze card, although that wasn’t just for rationing because of lack of resources (the Bratt system is what I advocate in unison with legalising drugs).
and the snow thawed then finland probably wouldn’t have been able to hold them off for much longer in conventional war
As if motitus in the woods would be any different with snow or not. We’re good at using the forests, no matter the time of the year. You know there was another war, right? The Continuation War which lasted from 1941 to 1944. Where we actually advanced into Russia. As in, we invaded Russia.
That wasn’t a guerrilla campaign. It was an open invasion. And a successful one.
It started in June and by September we’d gained all the previously lost ground. It doesn’t snow in September.
Seems like you’re a bit sore about Ruskis sucking so hard?
- Comment on Anon judges Karl 2 weeks ago:
A better comparison would be a country like Mexico
A better comparison would be Finland, which was literally a part of Russia.
We kept market economy. Russia didn’t.
Capitalism sucks, but so do planned economies. Socialist market economies are the thing.
Also WWII Russia won by having tons of disposable troops to toss at any enemy position. Not because their economy was magnificent.
Russia also was unable to take Finland, despite us having way worse military equipment and way less people.
- Comment on Anon judges Karl 2 weeks ago:
We still talk about Karl Marx, even make unprompted greentexts about him, proving a social contribution
Furthermore, you actually have the time to do something other than slave away to the bourgeoisie. Sure, you might not have a lot of it in your own experience, but child labour and 16 hour days were completely normal before Marx.
Marx had the idea the surplus value the capitalists are actually profiting off of is the commodity of the worker’s putting in time. I mean, he didn’t really consider it a commodity, just pointed out how capitalism commodifies human labour.
But yeah pretty much all trade unions and socialist parties owe their existence to Marx.

I think guys really wouldn’t mind a transwoman nearly as much as a trans man would bother people in the ladies.
Although the trans woman might have a bad experience in the mens (imagine the scale of a “bad experience” yourself), I don’t think that men would be bothered. Hell, pretty often in nightclubs you get cis women using the men’s, because the line is so much longer and slower in the ladies.

Yeah a girl without makeup in a hoodie and sweaters wouldn’t really raise eyebrows as much as a guy in a dress and makeup, I would bet money on that. Perhaps not as much nowadays but I’m sure it still very much exists.
Especially if you live in rural areas instead of a large city. Probably people living in L.A. etc. can reasonably disagree with this, but in general.

But the people who control Israel are jews?
I won’t argue there’s a bit of an antisemitic vibe to the way they put it, as “secretly”. But that secretly then also implies that most of Israelis don’t have control over what’s happening in their country. And most of them are Jewish as well so. Yeah. The implications are all over the place.

I didn’t say it was all white people everywhere, but it definitely wasn’t the black people doing apartheid either.

I mean that’s kinda like arguing white people weren’t responsible for apartheid in South-Africa, “just because they were the beneficiaries”.
It wasn’t exactly black people drawing up those segregation laws, was it?

- Comment on I just realized that I can both make myself sneeze and make myself vomit. If I can do this simultaneously, I could spray partially-aerosolized stomach acid when I feel threatened. 4 weeks ago:
Oh I’m on the others side, it’s incredibly easy for me to hurl. Had a lot of practice since I was a kid. Usually none comes out of my nose, but if it’s one of those rare cases where it’s because I’m being sick and vomiting continuously, stomach just chain-camping, then it could get up my nose.
But like 99% of the times it’s as easy for me as blowing my nose. Often doesn’t even really make my teeth matte, as it’s usually just one simple GLYYYYAAARRGGHH and it’s done.
Also on a related note, if you’re trying to prevent yourself from vomiting, one trick is to put your thumb inside your fist and squeeze. As in make a fist with your thumb in the middle. One hand. Supposed to suppress the gag reflex and thus buys you time to get to the loo or whatever. I’m not 100% it works but maybe?

Of course crashing on an atoll somewhere without any equipment would be pretty bleak. Deadly even.

No, but on a remote uninhabited island you can pretend the bullshit doesn’t exist.
It’s incredibly hard to delude yourself when something is in front of yourself face. Although this is apparently a flaw in me, as most people seem perfectly capable of it.

So then I got put in catholic school, and without knowing what sex was, began to ask the church if Mary had baby Jesus, through God, so God is the father, why wasn’t Peter pissed that his wife was having a baby with another man?
They evidently went kinda easy on the religious teachings?
I’m not a religious man and despite monotheism as a phenomenon and think it’s bad for mankind, but even I know Mary was married to Joseph. Peter was one of Jesus’s apostles and the first pope.

As someone with chronic issues, the amount of timed doctors just shrug and give up is kinda high.
Thats what I like House M.D. though, because it’s basically a Sherlock show, there’s always an answer. Unlike in real life, where they just send you home without actually figuring things out. I’ve had like 8 seizures in the last 10 years and still the best I’ve got it “idk, MRI seemed clear” and that’s all.

And sometimes, it’s not a 60kg deer, but a 500kg moose. And them mofos are almost as stupid, twice as stubborn and also have an aggressive mode. (Albeit it’s kinda rare.)
