Jännät (/ˈjænːæt/). Finnish adjective, plural: "interesting, cool, neat, exciting".

  • When is that man not flailing

  • deep in meditation masturbation

  • Dutch rudder

    What are we, frickin barbarians? Just grab that junk

  • Reminder that the word "homeowner" is the only English word with the word "meow" in it (except for all the different derivations of "meow" like "meowing" etc of course).

    Good luck not reading homeowner as ho-meow-ner from now on

  • And I committed the cardinal sin of being a foreigner – in order to criticise the US I apparently need to be able to hand-feed them a solution to the mess they themselves created

  • But why is saying this out loud such a taboo? I regularly get downvoted to hell for saying that there's a real danger the midterms might get rigged in some states. Or is the problem – like one commenter seemed to imply – pointing it out but not coming up with concrete ideas on how to fix it?

  • "Certainly paid for by fascists", lol.

    How dare I say that Americans should fix their own fucking problems instead of whining about how everybody is being mean and not telling them how to fix them

  • Certainly a Russian troll for suggesting you Americans get your own shit together instead of whining that the rest of the world won't tell you how to fix things.

    Because Gaza and Palestine are definitely the same as the US. Excellent analogy, only something an American could have come up with – Israel committing genocide in Gaza is the same as Americans voting for fascists

  • Ah, so you're upset that others won't tell you how to fix your problems? Vastly different, yes

  • So what the fuck is your point then?

  • I’m upset about commenters showing up and telling us we gotta do something, but offering no advice as to what to do.

    You're upset that others won't fix your problems for you?

  • Yeah, we're getting downvoted for daring to point out in a comment that what Trump said in the post I linked to might not be great for election security

  • And that he wants Republicans in some of those states to "take over the voting".

  • Pointing out that in several states the US midterms might not exactly be free and open seems to really get a lot of resistance from Americans. Many seem like they really don't even want to think about it, and would just rather keep believing that the midterms will solve everything

  • The world became a panopticon a decade ago and you’re running late to the realization.

    Or maybe you're just generalising your experiences and assuming that eg. the laws regarding what employers can do with cameras are the same everywhere?

  • And 90% of the people here are telling me that this sort of sabotage would be completely useless and all workplaces literally everywhere in the world really are surveillance machines.

    I guess we should just lie down and give up.

  • Maybe one day you'll learn that "at-will employment" isn't a thing in every country?

  • I have no idea what you're trying to say here

  • I've never, ever had a work computer with snitchware, and I've worked in multinational gaming companies.

    I think this might be a USA vs Europe thing, because seriously this "every workplace is a panopticon" just isn't a thing at least in Finland.

    Also, not every workplace is something where you deal with computers etc. Manufacturing and so on still exist.
