Finland, my favourite nation in the world, turns 93 today. A humble and unassuming people spent those years shaping an agrarian, backwards East European shit-hole into a modern technocracy. The nation's values are centered around equality, fairness and human decency. Instead of the 'American dream', it is perceived as a moral imperative to ensure a slice for everyone, rather than combating for one's own and fuck the rest of you dumb shmucks. This nation has afforded me, and a couple million more, health care, education and shelter without asking more of us than what we can give. I serve the nation in my own way, and it is my profound hope that I can contribute to the great system in a positive way. I love this land.

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!

Good work people!

Happy birthday crazy Finns.

crazy little country gave us IRC and Linux, so... Happy birthday!

go team

All riiiiight!!!

Is this a proper drinking and getting rowdy holiday?

Suomi on mahtava!

(blame Google translator if that's gibberish :D)

So 93 years ago was the start of the Finnish!

I'll drink to that. :D

Suomi is a distant land about which we know little.

I felt the urge to drink more than usual today. So I did. This must be the reason, somehow.
Happy Independance Day!

Happy birthday to the Suomi.

May you continue to be a united, tiny and easily manageable population. :up:

I didn't know it was physically possible to be that drunk

Jesus's nutsack

Being drunk makes you all...patriotic. Your true inner self.

I'm guessing my true inner self isn't very patriotic, then :p

Unlike most Finns, I don't want to tell Newsweek how to do their job!

No but really Finland is pretty swell and I'm kinda sad I more or less will have to spend considerable amounts of time living abroad down the line

I'm more amazed by the fact that there is a level of drunkenness that Nessus had not yet experienced...

It's like the deal with that Sisyphos bloke

I push that crazy, drunken boulder up that grainy, moist hill of poor life decisions and retarded conversation

And at some point the boulder, or me, gets so wasted that I stop experiencing things in a meaningful way

Because I am so fucked up

Then I pass out, the boulder slides back down that hill and I wake up not knowing what the fuck those last 20 feet of the climb were like, where my pants are and a mouth that's coated in a Draino-like substance
