What does this mean?

Sorry, got caught up in the Finnish shitposting. Basically there was some gallup ahead of the recent parliamentary election saying that lots of young Finns were planning to vote for the right-wing populist Perussuomalaiset party (persut, or persu in singular), and the guy who founded Varusteleka tweeted that this was because lots of kids who go to ammattikoulu = amis = vocational school (where you train for a hands-on job instead of aiming for higher education) are essentially rednecks who just want to stick it to the man with their vote.

This caused quite a stir online, with lots of vocational school graduates swearing to boycott Varusteleka even after the founder backtracked.

Hope that clears it up some, and apologies to those who don’t come here for FinPol inside jokes.

I don't know if this is a joke about the misspelling or if you think crocs would be heavier than they are since they are surprisingly light

I have a pair of these in black that I wear around the house and they're honestly the best slippers but I'm not quite at the point of wearing them out of the house at least until I buy another pair so I don't track in dirt lol

I have something like those, they're actually safety shoes with an armored toe. Ugly but so convenient. Modeled after swedish/finnish clogs.

I got ANOTHER Osprey bag, but this one rules for general traveling more-so than backpacking.





46 liters, laptop sleeve, all of the straps store into a duffel bag configuration and it’s carry-on size. I fly standby when I go on vacation so checking bags is a no-no for me and I’m tired of taking suitcases on trips where I walk more with my bag.

I’ve had an osprey porter 46 for over ten years now and I use it over basically everything else I own other than legit backpacking trips. Such a well designed bag and it looks no worse for the wear despite being to multiple continents and thrown around like a rag doll for a decade plus. Hell I even used as my in-a-pinch backcountry snowboarding bag a few days this year. Great buy

Hell yeah! I went to an REI on a whim cause I’m tired of using a roller bag when I go to Europe, especially if I’m gonna be taking public transportation and walking a lot.

Glad I stumbled into the perfect thing for my situation.
