  • Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?

  • When we go to a hotel, we prefer the Finnish level of service: make everything work and otherwise leave us alone.

  • Finnish people are stereotyped to sound monotone, enunciate clearly, speak directly, and tersely. This makes them seem unfriendly.

    And then they expect you to stay 3 m away from them at all times, which intensifies their seeming unfriendliness.

    At least these are the memes.

  • 2n+1 is not in the Collatz conjecture.

    Mathematics is not ready for such carelessness.

    And I did a dumb. Withdrawn.

  • You might be done with people, not the internet.

  • Canada Post lost my passport with US visa and nobody seems to care

    Jump

  • We have had an embassy mix up two passports, so we received one and someone else received the one we were expecting. Their trip was in three months, so they had no urgency, but ours was in four days.

    We ended up tracking down the other person while we looked into our options. At one point, we were about to fly from Toronto to Ottawa and back in order to pick up the passport ourselves. In the end, we paid them to send the passport on a flight with a courier, so that at least I didn't have to go.

    We got the passport at midnight and left for the airport 10 hours later.

    Good luck.

  • Varje gång jag flyger så säger jag att jag anländer "If it be Air Canada's will". Allt är bra.

  • Helix? I've never noticed a security problem.

  • how would you deal with a relative yelling to you you killed his father just because you're the last nurse who treated him?

    Jump

  • At some point I stopped listening to him

    Excellent. Sometimes, you are simply the person available for them to scream at. In situations such as that, pretending to listen without listening represents a useful strategy.

    I hope you can make it past this incident soon. Time means distance means peace.

  • 'Minnetoba'? Some Minnesotans want to join Canada as tensions flare with Trump administration
