Suomi-Finland!

Hollywood-näyttelijä Jason Segel kertoi Jimmy Kimmel Live -ohjelmassa, että hänen ystävällisyytensä aiheutti ongelmia Suomessa.

Segel tervehti ihmisiä ruokakaupassa Tampereen seudulla, minkä jälkeen vartija epäili häntä päihtyneeksi ja pyysi autonavaimia.

Hello World! It's Finland calling - the happiest country on the planet Earth for 9 yrs in a row!

Well, so #happy are we, that when actor Jason Segel was filming here, in city of Tampere, and went into a supermarket, being friendly to people, a security guard came, and asked after his car keys, because in her opinion, #Segel was obiviously high or drunk.

What Happens When You’re Too American in Finland

@HannaEsmeralda_

Not ideal lol

Hopefully he learnt more about fitting in the longer he was there

@HardBeingGreen Yup! And in Finland we could have a quiz "Drunk or American?".

But yes, Finns in general are quite introverted in appereance, or as Segel put in nicely - stoic.

Though, same goes in northern parts of Sweden and Norway, too. In Finland it is more from South to North kind of a thing, haha

EDIT: Dunno if you've seen it, but this is quite good; scenes from internationally most knoen Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki's films on Pharrel Williams' Happy.

Happy Finland (Pharrell Williams & Aki Kaurismäki)

YouTube
@HardBeingGreen Oh yes, just remembered - some American autistic person had seen some of Aki Kaurismäki's films, and then commented on some Autism-discussion group, that I've just seen this wonderful Finnish films with autistic actors! And some Finnish autistic persons then ansewered, that no, it is just one of the most appreciated Finnish films ever, nothing to do with autism (though, I as an autistic person would not be surprised, if Kaurismäki would get an ASD diagnosis.)

@HannaEsmeralda_

Happiest country 9 years in a row 🙂

I think I'd struggle with his films

@HardBeingGreen Yes, and that's why the intl media's headlines for years were like Finns don't accept being the happiest. Yet again, the survey measures more content than happiness; here - in our Nordic modelled society - people are more secure, that the society works. And maybe Finns are more ok with a reality to have things in general ok, and are not that much after the moon, if you get what I mean.

And yes, Kaurismäki is e.g. one of the biggest names in Cannes film festival thourgh years.

@HannaEsmeralda_

Yep, a different type of happy but a more worthwhile one in many ways

@HardBeingGreen ...but has been hammered down for years with right-wing governments, the current one being the worst in that scale (and many other scales, too.)

@HannaEsmeralda_

Hopefully the next one will take things back in the right direction

@HardBeingGreen One sure hopes so! Atm. our version of your Labor Party leads the polls by ca. 7 % over the current prime minister party NCP, which is like your Liberal Party. Elections in April 2027. A lot depends, is it possible for Labor to form a government other than some with NCP (we have multi-party system, without the tradition of minority governments.)

@HannaEsmeralda_

I almost feel sorry for you in that case, the future only a little brighter. Our Labor party is a centre / centre right party now rather than a centre left one ☹️

Sounds like we'd both be better off with minority governments, well if they involve worthwhile parties

@HardBeingGreen Ours is still a centre left, though now showing more of their centre-right sides to gain voters for NCP. It was better with Sanna Marin.

@HannaEsmeralda_

Bring back Sanna

@HardBeingGreen Oh, if only!

But I guess she - quite understandably - got enough of the misogynism that rose here, when a young, leftist woman was leading the country. Just how the media treated her vs. how they are now treating a middle-aged, right-wing man as a PM, was just horrendeous.

@HannaEsmeralda_

Absolutely

Not that it should matter, but she is beautiful as well which probably added to it all

So many pressures that middle aged male leaders just don't face

@HannaEsmeralda_

Well, in Helsinki we have a saying:
If someone smiles at you on the street, they're either drunk, insane or American.

Not too far from the truth, then 😃

@HannaEsmeralda_ En edes tiedä, kuka tuo on, herättäisi minussakin epäilyksiä…

Seuraava testin aihe: kännissä vai amerikkalainen.

@Tuumaru Joo, ihan nevöhööd-tyyppi mullekin, mutta tarina on hillitön!

@Tuumaru Katsoin Wikipediasta, niin yksi tuotoksensa on kyllä sellainen, jota olen joskus nähnyt - Freaks and Geeks. Mut niin, siitä on "vähän" aikaa, että jäbä on varmaan siinä näyttänyt aika eriltä kuin nyt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks_and_Geeks

Freaks and Geeks - Wikipedia

@HannaEsmeralda_ Olen kuullut sarjan nimen, mutten ole tainnut nähdä sitä yhtään.

@Tuumaru Mä katsoin sitä jonkin verran; harvemmin olen jenkkituotantoja katsonut, mutta tuo on semmoisia, mikä jossain määrin silloin nuorna puhutteli.

EDIT: Ehkä sitä voisi kuvata termillä vaihtoehtonuorten Frendit (josta taas en digannut yhtään).

@HannaEsmeralda_ Kuulostaa sellaiselta, mitä olisin voinut katsoa, mutta joko on ollut muuta tekemistä tai muuten vaan mennyt ohi.
@HannaEsmeralda_ Hänen vierailunsa aikaan jokin media (Aamulehti?) uutisoi että hän hengasi Mimosa-kahvilassa ja jututti ja viihdytti ihmisiä siellä (en muista tarkkaa sanamuotoa). Istun silloin tällöin itse Mimosassa ja ainoa, mitä ajattelin oli että onneksi en ollut siellä silloin; hemmetin röyhkeää mennä häiritsemään toisten kahvilakokemusta "viihdyttämällä" heitä kun kukaan ei ole pyytänyt 😸 .
@raik_su Drunk or American -visa pystyyn!
