Ideally there would be a cornucopia of different competing operating systems, but since we only have basically two - Android and iOS - there's not much competition going on. (Hell, not even Microsoft could get their share going.) The fact that both of those mobile infrastructures are located in the US is bad news for technological independence. What is it that Europe - or Finland for that matter - can't get a single leg up in this field? poo poo sucks.

Nah, I'm thinking of "täytemunkki". Same basic idea as a kermamunkki, except it's jam-filled.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Left Alliance's current head Paavo Arhinmäki has announced he's not going to continue his gig after his term, so this summer will see a new chairman for the party.

EDIT: Goddamn. Well, some commentary: While Paavo has been less charismatic lately, he's still one of the top people who vacuumed votes for the party. It'll be interesting to see who'll compete for the top spot.

:derp: TERROR REIGNS IN RAUMA :derp:

Mies riehui puukon kanssa kerrostalossa – luuli menneensä vastaanottokeskukseen

Raumalaisen miehen epäillään syyllistyneen törkeän pahoinpitelyn yritykseen perjantai-iltana.

Mies oli mennyt kerrostalolle, jossa oletti asuvan maahanmuuttajia. Hän oli mennyt talossa olleeseen asuntoon ja pyytänyt pari pulloa olutta siellä asuvilta ulkomaalaisilta työntekijöiltä.

Ne juotuaan mies oli vaatinut lisää olutta, mutta enempää hänelle ei tarjottu. Silloin mies oli ottanut puukon esille ja osoitellut sillä asunnossa olijoita. Miehen poistuttua asunnosta hänen peräänsä oli lähdetty porukalla. Pihalla raumalainen oli ilmoittajien mukaan yrittänyt lyödä puukolla yhtä perään lähteneistä.

Mies otettiin kiinni ja toimitettiin poliisivankilaan. Poliisille hän kertoi vastustavansa maahanmuuttoa ja menneensä siksi olettamaansa vastaanottokeskukseen.

You know, probably the best thing Vasemmistoliitto could do was to fold up and tell their voters to vote for SDP instead :shrug:.

Same goes for Rovio, btw. They hired a shitload of people, but didn't really seem to be able to get anything interesting out, just angrier birds.

The trailer for the animated film looked a lot better than I expected, though.

Probably their biggest problem was the need to expand super quickly and start incurring high costs without having any sales. Potentially high reward, but also very high risk, turns out the risk hit here.

Arhinmäki's votes plummeted in the last election though. So he certainly lost his base of support from being in the government.

It's kind of sad really. I really feel the Left Alliance could have been in government AND gained support with another strategy. So that's one of his biggest fuckups, really.

That's better. You know there still might be the same bullshit, but at least the person who is saying that is pretty hot. As a left voter I'm reasonably happy about that, everyone else has just ugly prunes and/or engineer nerds leading them. And Stubbdog.

As another left voter I agree hotness is important. Stubb and his deranged vampire look certainly appealed to Kok so why shouldn't LA have a leader that physically resembles the beauty of virtues such as equality and solidarity. :love:

It's funny how the narrative about Li is at least half focused on her looks. She's been in a bunch of interviews and debates and whatnot and is better at them than most politicians including Arhis.

Being gay in Iraq is pretty lovely, even the police partake in the local gay bashing. Some of the tortures there are downright inhumane.
