  • Apparently the reason I didn't feel anything but a burning sensation is that it was the Turkish pepper. Maybe there are other variants of the thing? As it were, I'd consider it attempted murder if anyone gave me those again.
    "Within seconds of putting one in my mouth, an intense, sharp, stinging pain spread across my tongue, as if somebody had sandpapered it and then poured salt on top.

    After the pain came the salty sourness and I could not stop salivating. I had to spit it out."

    It must be a genetic distaste for those things. Pity.
    Black candy is good. Pepper-filled candy, whatever the colour, is not.
    It was the turkki pippuri variety of salmiakki. I didn't feel a taste, merely a burning sensation in my mouth that went away after half-a-dozen of the gummy-pigs (Angry Birds merch).

    Eurgh!

    Oh, and what is that mämmi thing?
    Rva. Opettaja brought some salmiakki from Finland. Is it true that people eat those… things?
    Don't worry; I didn't interpret you negatively. Apologies for not replying; a mixture of time pressure and figuring we rather agreed where it mattered. I can sympathize with you frustrations with certain students of continental philosophy. But not being an expert myself I'm not prepared to judge whether that is the fault of the relevant writers, or the fault of the students.
    But 'Takhisis' isn't Greek, it's a made-up name for the Queen of Darkness in the Dragonlance™ Dungeons and Dragons™ campaign setting and novel collection.
    Still, Greeks and Byzantines are awesome, we're nerds after all.
    Given that N. Opettaja is giving us partitives for homework while she's in Finland, the following statement applies to you people.
    Suomalaiset ovat julmat ihmiset.

    Or maybe it's just heavenly retribution for attempting to leave a wedding to go to class, failing to get to class and then going back to the wedding to continue eating pizzas and cake.

    Once N. Opettaja stops smothering us with homework I'll have a crack at this. Or, when i get back from tonight's wedding (third large party this week) and the intoxication is over -there's too much good food not to attempt to eat one of everything, so some digestive infusions and a few days of repose should leave me in fit shape for class next Thursday.

    The vote is exactly 50-50 among the Finns polled on this forum. How should I declense 'Takhisis'? Takhisiksen, Takhisiksella, etc. or Takhisisin, Takhisisilla, and so forth?
    Good day.

    If you fancy I have made a party for the CFC presidental election. Here it is if your intrested.
    Haha.

    Define what is meant by "I" in this paragraph:

    "The free will thing, I think I've read from newspapers something similar. The thing that arises to my mind is that if I were in the same kind of situation, I'd decide to press left for example right when the choice is presented, and then deliberate on it. That I might do even not noticing it. So, I might come to think this, and choose the opposite. I wonder how the test would've turned out in that situation. (The clip doesn't answer to that)."

    Define "I".
    I have studies of it worth of Finnish bachelors degree, although much of it forgotten.
    You did your master's in another subject?
