No, you're not disagreeing with anything. You're plain saying he doesn't feel pain because he regenerates, so he can't understand it. You literally keep writing "you don't understand". Not "I disagree with your position"
Your literacy could use some improvement.
You think you do. Based on like 5 articles with variations of "Finland is the happiest country in the world" in the title.
You don't even know what Finnish sounds like. Finnish isn't a PIE-language, and I simply can not communicate all the understanding you lack. You seem to refuse to accept there are things you don't know you don't know.
Like how much language affects psychology, and how different it is in Finland from up top in the government and the bureaucracy all the way down to casual interactions of people in their daily lives.
You can't accept that there's a massive disparity between the subjects. Knowing and understanding Finland and Finnish just is much much harder than understanding the US. I've written this a dozen times, but again, most of our experiences from non-local things come from the media. And we have access to the same media. The difference is that the algorithm that pushes American news to you instead of Finnish ones does so to me as well. There's no Finnish YouTube that's separate from the actual one. You refuse to accept that I can actually understand American culture and society, because of how common it is, but that the same doesn't apply towards your knowledge of Finland because of how small and insignificant we are as a country.
I could easily pass a US citizenship test (I'd prolly recount some of the dates beforehand but I'm fairly sure I could pass one without preparation.)
However you might not even seen words such as "perustuslaki", "Väinämöinen", "Kalevala", "Koskenkorva" etc. You probably just know "sauna" and if you've been interested, then perhaps "vittu" and "perkele".
But yet you refuse to accept there's an asynchronicity to our knowledge about each others societies. Because of some ego thing. It's kinda boring tbh, nothing I haven't seen a million times online.
You're right. I don't understand Finnish at all.
I've never once thought I did, or really ever wanted to.
You think you could pass the citizenship test? You're delusional.
If you understood the USA, you'd realize you'd be deported before you got to take the test. There is currently no path to citizenship, unless you come from South Africa and/or have money
No, you are. Just like you could be arguing that I simply can't be fluent in English, despite me having literally better English than most Americans, you're arguing that I can't possibly pass a test about basic American facts, despite showing you detailed (remember what the word means) knowledge that far surpasses anything asked in the citizenship test.
edit oh yeah from https://americanhistory.si.edu/citizenship/test/results
edit 2 oh yeah i realise people won't necessarily know the domain si.edu so
Ooh nooo, theese are sooooooo haard. Sure, I guessed that the Constitution wasn't written in the same year as the declaration of independence was, so that was slightly a guess (I just assumed it wouldn't be in the same year and whilst a decade or more seemed a tad long, seemed the most reasonable). I also guessed how many senators there are, but two to a state seemed reasonable. Over four would just mean so much squabbling and one per wouldn't be enough.
And that's without me preparing. If I actually prepared even for an afternoon, I would easily pass the US citizenship test. Will you admit that though? No fucking way. Because this isn't about facts or understanding or anything. This is about your ego getting hurt, and because I'm not sorry about your ego getting hurt, you just keep doing your tantrum and won't just stop replying (like you probably should for your mental health.) Like I've said, I've seen this thousands of times over the years, and like I said, this will probably devolve into you spitting one-word replies like "k" or "lol" or mockingly saying something like "you think I'm gonna read that". That's the way it usually goes. I'm gonna guess you're gonna start by denouncing that taking the official US goverment test for if you're ready to take your citizenship test (that online test) "doesn't mean anything" and you still won't accept the asynchronicity in our understandings, despite you not even being able to navigate the Finnish equivalent of a test like that, let alone knowing any of the answers. (To be fair, I'm not as confident I would ace the Finnish citizenship as I am that I'd ace the American one)
edit 3:
holy illiteracy batman. I've said several times I wouldn't want to step foot in your shithole. This doesn't mean I can't favour some of the things there, does it? Also saying that I have the required knowledge to pass the citizenship test doesn't mean that I'm even attempting to get to take one, does it?
Dumbass. I think your English is fine
That's not why you'd be shoved in a box. But you would be, because my county is a collapsing empire. Your opinions and knowledge don't matter
You would be shoved into a box. That's just objectively true.
Which part of "I would never ever step a foot in the United States of America" is hard for you to understand? Which part of having the knowledge to pass the citizenship test" do you think means "I want to travel to the US and take the citizenship test"?
You're just extremely annoyed that I can actually prove that the I could very easily pass the test, as it doesn't really ask anything special, and despite your inane insistence that I just possibly can't understand American culture and society, I keep proving you wrong. You said "you're delusional if you think you'd pass the citizenship test". That's you assuming what I know about the US. Then I do an official practice test just out of spite, and you keep insisting that I'm wrong, despite all the evidence showing it's you who's wrong. But like I said a while back, this isn't about facts. It's just about you getting emotional over having been wrong.
