Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Finland is named the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to the World Happiness Report 2025 published Thursday.

Other Nordic countries are also once again at the top of the happiness rankings in the annual report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford. Besides Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden remain the top four and in the same order.

Country rankings were based on answers people give when asked to rate their own lives. The study was done in partnership with the analytics firm Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

When it comes to decreasing happiness — or growing unhappiness —the United States has dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The report states that the number of people dining alone in the United States has increased 53% over the past two decades.

It's a perfectly coherent example of the depths that emotional stuntedness comes out as; pathological avoidance.

You're still doing it, and wrote that comment in a way that you don't even implicitly accept that this actually happened. And you're a random person on Lemmy, probably a bit left leaning, smart-ish, etc.

You don't understand that the psychological avoidance you're doing is endemic in Finland, Finnish culture, and the Finnish language.

The fact that I'm having to spell this out THIS hard is very much what I'm talking about. You pretend like you don't know that everyone can see that your avoiding this subject on purpose. AVOIDING. As in, not facing a thing, because you're afraid of something.

You simply can not accept flaws and mistakes in Finland. You say you can, but you clearly can not. That is the issue. You delude yourself while avoiding all emotion.

It's interesting that you're calling me deluded when you feel that it's not you who is wrong but literally everyone else.

Yeah.

Because you are.

Youre still not even implicitly accepting this even happened.

My own mother did that to me.

That image has a mattress and a blanket. I had neither. The police destroyed evidence and prevented me from filming them from the start of their illegal home search.

The Supreme Court of Finland doesn't think I'm delusional.

That's my case. But you just refuse to accept I was literally tortured. You can't talk about it, because you know it happened, and there is no way you it can be justified and that would mean there's systemic issues and violent disregard for basic human rights — and you simply can not accept that, so you **delude yourself. **

They tried blaming me for vandalising the hell with my blood. I got a lawyer to ask for the surveillance tape. It miraculously vanished and the lawyer said he's never heard the cops be so scared on the phone.

But no, elä sinä lintukodossa. Valitettavasti se on olemassa sun and päässä eikä missää muualla.

Being in the minority doesn't mean you're wrong. You know this perfectly well. Facts matter, not your fear of avoiding feelings related to those facts.

It's interesting how you're making a discussion about Finland and Finns in generally all about you and assuming anyone would be familiar with your case.
