It doesn’t matter. Finland is often included when talking about Scandinavia, which in modern days just makes sense culturally. There’s no value in trying to cling to the ”histprically correct” meaning of a particular term. Languages evolve, dictionaries change.

"evolve" meaning "diluted because lots of people are dumb"

I've just had this topic with friends. How can finland and the nordics be further up than, say, spain? Have they ever been? Sure, materialistic safety is better up there. But the way of living, at least in my experience, is way higher. Look at suicide rates and alcoholism and such.

I'll spoil it: - Finland 38 - Norway 71 - Spain 137

(fun fact: USA is 31)

ranked by suicide. If you visit it, and the vibes and feelings you have don't match the statistics, the statistics are shit I'd say. And maybe cities and rural areas destroy this statistic. But what do I know (but the article agrees with me)

Using suicide rates as a measure for population happiness is very peculiar, given that the people who commit suicide represent fractions of a percent, and would only ever sum up to a rounding error.

The author would do well to educate themselves on the difference between Scandinavia and the Nordics.

The problem is slightly more challenging if you don't use a chessboard, but just a grid, because then you must first come up with the idea of coloring it.

Good point. As presented, I thought it was very easy.

I think his proposal to use "per" instead of "they" actually makes a lot of sense, because "they" is very confusing in a lot of contexts, because it's a word already used for another function. I don't see how you perceive that as something negative.

The quote about pedophilia is concerning indeed, but I think that rather stems from ignorance about the issues than promoting pedophelia. It's easy to shit on such things and wokely dismiss someone's entire opinion, which I find a bit weak.

The guy quite obviously is diversely talented. A computer genius, but well below generally agreed upon levels of mental deficiency in areas that most people care about.
