I've often wondered if it's just because Finland has the nearest not-made-of-literal-library-paste-asbestos-and-gypsum cheeses or are Finnish cheeses actually good? (I'm obviously biased since I grew up on Valio Edam, Oltermanni, and blue-seal Emmental.)

its the former, finland is the only land neighbour of russia that is considered "civilised, unlike us". technically there is also norway but norwegian-russian border is not too well suited for trafficking cheese :D

he pledged 6 more years to the army in exchange for 13,000 dollars. for a lovely assignment because it was close to home. he probably should have just gotten out of the army but had he just re-enlisted for 3 years, made staff sergeant, and re-enlisted then the bonus for staff sergeants of his mos is 60,000 dollars so even if he wanted to piss his life away in the army he went about it in the worst way possible. now he has no leverage over the army until 2024.

yeah he is really stupid. the only time i encouraged him to re-enlist was for 3 years at the nsa because it was next to home and could transition easily to high paying civilian job and so he went and did this without asking any senior leadership whether it was a good idea. and then first sergeant walks into my office and was like did you pressure that kid into doing something he didn't want to do? only time i have seen a first sergeant sad someone re-enlisted

That is not a sugar glider, but cute nonetheless.

e: is that a leadbeater's possum?

it's a baby ringtail possum

that was a good guess though, leadbeaters possums basically look like an adorable baby morph of any other possum when they're full-grown :3: they're also like, a 3-billion-year-old ancestral possum species only distantly related to our other possums, which makes them pretty fascinating! it's cool that you know about them

i love talking about possums to people overseas because i know americans are picturing something totally different to what i'm picturing and exmarx is picturing the same basic animal but with nightmarish associations

The virgina opossum is considered an invasive species here thanks to climate change. They are mostly seen as pest animals like raccoons since they tear up gardens and garbage, can be quite vicious when cornered and are polar (:haw:) opposites of the possums you know when it comes to looking cute.

Im a big dork when it comes to cute animals so I know about some of your countries cuter things. Like those turtles with mohawks (that are sadly going extinct). :3:

Do your possums down in Oz have rabies problems though? I don’t actually know how common rabies is among American possums but I was always warned that it’s among the reasons not to go near them to check if they’re really dead or just playing.

“Yet we will continue marching forward across the corpse-clogged battlefield, wading through the waist-deep viscera that stretches to the horizon,” Dunford continued. “Though tanks may crush the skulls of our beloved comrades, we will keep our gazes fixed upon the triumphant fighter jets screeching by overhead. Just picture it: an end not only to all current conflicts, but all conflicts that ever were or ever will be.”
