Finland is fucking poor! Even if it wouldn't seem like that in some list. Taxes and that for prices are so high that people here can't buy shit..

Your life before you learned how to use computer and discovered the world of internet porn.

Was life more fun before? Maybe. Probably.

But life is much more under control now. And Martin is a control freak.

Indeed he is.

Bolivia is also going to hell since the big majority of our income comes from selling petroleum gases, and the price just hit the floor. The government didn't invest properly all the good money we were making when the price was high. We should've diversified our production instead, they threw that money at the ignorant and poor to keep them happy and get their votes.

 

[Lapa]

Finland poor

Yep. Prove me wrong!

 

[Maddy]

Yep. Prove me wrong!

I don't need to. That's a ludicrous statement

 

[Lapa]

Not really. You should see all the discussion we are having about that subject.. and people aren't happy at all.

No, I mean life is 80% work. And work is fun, or at least very consuming so it feels like you're doing a lot.

I thought he meant that nowadays people work 80% of their lives.. not so much freetime anymore?

I completely missed work part my bad.

that's what I meant about control

I probably had more fun being a student and spending all my time on internet forums. But having a career gives you a lot of control.

 

[IliveForJuve]

The thought of having to work my whole life scares the hell out of me.

Control of what? It certainly doesn't give you a control of time which makes the whole point of job like slavery.

I'm sorry, Lapa. But it is. Finland is one of the richest countries in the World per capita and one of the most equal countries in the World. Finnish people are compared to both EU and especially the rest of the World rich.

Lapa feels poor cause he can't remember how he spent all his money... on beer.

You've been working too much lately.

The thought of having to work my whole life scares the hell out of me.

Nah. Just watch out that you won't come a workaholic, it tends to happen.. I've had that problem for like 3 years now. It has been hard trying to work less and spend time with gf etc.

Well, the dilemma is that there is no way you can really have control of your life. So having a job is the highest form of control, and in many ways an illusion of control (because you can always lose your job, or your work environment can change in such a way that all the things you like about it change).

Then I don't even wanna know how poor other countries are..

Lapa feels poor cause he can't how he spent all his money... on beer.

You got me there.

By the way I'll be heading to your beautiful capital in the late summer/early fall this year. To get a closed look on the Finnish Schools system.

Looking forward to Reindeer Kebab

Pretty sad how it's 8h work and ~8h sleep while even when you return from the job (I GUESS) you're tired and you prepare for tomorrow and same routine. I always thought it's more to life. I don't see that as control. I see that as me being controlled. Although, I don't deny the importance of it for sure.

Sometimes I have a memory of a gold fish. What do you do again?

No worries

I used to study Economics. Dropped it 'cause I wanted to teach. So now I'm getting my degree in Education while being a substitute teacher in Social Science and working with handicapped people as a second job.
