    Which company would that be?

    Umm, it is not prevalent in every country. We are actually having a dire lack of working people. There are seriously more job offers than unemployed people. The issue is so bad that it is hindering economic growth. Stores are getting automatic checkout counters not necessarily to spare costs, but because there simply aren't enough people to do the job of a cashier. Having the most shopping area per capita in EU is not helping in that either though... I have not been unemployed for a single day. My first days of unemployment in my life (meaning when I am not a student or a child) start this autumn, when I am gonna have a month-long vacation in North and Central America and when I am going to New Zealand. In here I didn't even have to apply for a job, I left my CV on some portal when I was a student to do some part-time work and I got a call within a few days. And immigration is not really an option here, considering how xenophobic we are. Something like 70 refugees were sent here by the EU quota system and about 50 of them have already left. Some even back to Iraq or Syria, it really is that bad for them here. Or well, not bad per se, but people do not look good on you. You guys ain't seen anti-migrant sentiment or violence.

    I mean seriously, don't the guys working there have anything better to do? I mean, even flipping burgers makes more sense. At least you do something that you need some minuscule training to and in which you have to adhere to some standards. Everyone can pump gas. I've been to full service stations and they are easily more hassle. You have to wait for attendant, worry about whether they spill something on your car or whether they can even open the fuel cap, then mess with the cash... Usually the service is excruciatingly slow aswell. I could fill my tank three times over by the time I waited for the attendant. I don't know of a single full service station in my whole country. I mean, in case you are disabled or really need assistance, there are buttons so that you can notify station attendants and they will help you, in the manned stations, but most of the stations are automatic. And as far as I know gas stations usually have a roof, so you don't really need to worry about weather or anything either. In other news, if everything goes according to plan we'll drive through Oregon in autumn... Oh the irony.

    How else would you have ever even known about a country as awesome as Estonia? I didn't know that things were so backwards in the States that you cannot fill up your car/motorcycle/lawnmower yourself but had to have someone else do it. I mean, kindergarten kids do it in self-service stations here.

    A lot. How's it going down under? Are you still alive even? And have you found some sort of stability compared to the earlier rollercoaster of a life?

    Putting together a computer is like putting together a lego. Even my brothers both could do it and did it last year. Hot damn how I am waiting for the summer, and by extension, autumn. South-West USA and Central America are waiting, and after that an extended round-the-world trip... Will be epic.

    It's [bleep]ing snowing here. Mid-April. Thank you Putin! (somesort of cold vortex from Siberia made it here)

    I need to study for drivers' exam tomorrow... Also, found out I might just need to hit the knife again. Shortly. And lose a chunk of my foot. Yay me. EDIT: Also, that moment when it is difficult to get a good x-ray of your lungs. Because your back is too wide. Has to be taken in landscape mode. #firstworldproblems
  9. Estonian dude replied to Leoo's topic in Off-Topic
    Messing with drivers' school gets old fast. Real fast. Also, my basketball season ended. We lost the second game on play-offs... I need to exercise and train more.

    I mean, I do not oppose veganism or the smart vegans who do know what they are doing and do not preach that stuff. What annoys me are the stupid tag-alongs who have been vegan for about a year or less, don't really know that much about nutrition and stuff and get on everybody else's asses without provocation. I mean I had to block a person as she (almost always a she) started to send me private messages about how can I eat meat and how I should be a vegan like she is. Also, pro-vegan claims like: 1) eating meat fills your brain's blood vessels 2) 14 out of 15 deaths occur due to meat consumption 3) humans have never ever needed meat and it is not natural to eat it and other such ridiculous claims.

    What makes you think kosher is unhealthy? I'd rather think of it as more healthy as you have to know where the food is coming from. Also, most styles of meat and all green stuff is permitted. In here, the veganism and vegetarianism isn't that widespread. One reason is that we have a lot colder climate and thus we are more used to consuming more meat and especially dairy products. Try to tell an eskimo to become a vegan and see what his reaction will be. Vegetarians who ate dairy and egg products have been around for ages, but that new full-on veganism is a craze and somewhat of a fashion statement. Mostly followed by city people who have expendable income and are willing to spend it on bullshit, like trophy wives and such. Other group is young girls, aged 12-20. And as such, the loudest supporters on facebook around here at least are somewhat (ok, rather completely) morons. And it just makes sense to annoy them and try to make sense to them, specially if people do get hurt by it, cause they don't know how to eat properly. And they [bleep]ing spread around that veganism like a religion. Everyone who does not eat vegan is a murderer and a bad person. Granted, there are some smart people out there, who give recommendations about dietary supplements and know a bit about the stuff, but they generally don't take the flamebait and keep to themselves. I can handle these people and I even know one such person quite well. But to that one smart person I know 15 who share total bullshit daily and sometimes even start messaging random people like "Why do you murder animals? Why do you eat meat?" Those people annoy the crap out of me and should be annoyed back.

    Wanna start laughing or crying? Share something anti-vegan on facebook, for example the comment from our main Children's Hospital's head pediatrician that vegan kids are sicker than regular kids and watch the hate and idiocy flow. Within a few hours there have been brought up flat earth, denial of evolution and further nonsense.

    I have never peed myself while drunk if you mean that. Here is the distinction between British and American English, pissed in British English means completely wasted, not peeing themselves. I also prefer to use trousers, colours, centre and et cetera, as that is the way I was taught in school. Also, I am a bloody North-Eastern European, our national sport is drinking and if it is dark most of the year we would all just commit suicide otherwise.

    If you can still type properly you are not drunk enough.

    Sooo 4th stage rectal cancer? I am freaking broke as hell and I need to find an extra months salary for the next two months just so that I could pay for the visa, the health check it needs and for getting my licenses. And I am already broke af.

    I should take down 2 inches from my real height to not scare people off... In other news, I accidentally managed to get a visa to New Zealand for a year. Seems like I'm gonna be a Kiw for a year instead of a Koala or an icicle...

    Spent 2 hours last night finding tickets and swearing at Wizz Air for not managing to provide me with one simple paper for over 2 weeks. Created the main mail for my travel insurance provider for compensation of the [bleep]up that was the end of my last vacation. Did not manage to sleep at all tonight. Now I've been awake 21 hours and I have an event to run in 3 hours. I am gonna be so dead after this... Hopefully I can sleep after that though. Not easy having to wake up at 6AM every morning this week.

    You know, 1/10 would be like if she was missing some body parts or something. It couldn't have been THAT bad. Gotta learn from your mistakes. My knee hurts. On every [bleep]ing step. I didn't do anything with it, it just hurts. Also, gonna try and do drivers' and riders' licenses in 2 months. Gonna be really, REALLY tight.

    I prefer cold and ice to the melting hot any day. Only problem is, Canadian visa is a LOT harder to get. I mean, I can get aussie visa within a week, pretty much no questions asked. Not so with Canadian visa. And I only wanna get a working holiday visa for a year, not a residence permit or something like that.

    Ouch, In other news, Andromeda is out. In further news, got confirmation at work that I will be in either Australia or Canada for the next whole year, starting October. Gonna be the biggest change in my life so far. Also, ay-ay-ay-ay Mexico in September. Most probably gonna be my country number 23 that I've visited. Leaving behind my whole life in 2 months is gonna be scary.
  21. Estonian dude replied to Leoo's topic in Off-Topic
    Aye, it was the first time that drunk in a while. Was a hell to be at work yesterday. Slowly feeling like a human now though.
  22. Estonian dude replied to Leoo's topic in Off-Topic
    In other news I managed to wake up at a stranger's house about a mile from my place completely [bleep]ed-up drunk with a sleeping bag put on me to keep me warm and a teddy bear as a pillow. Turns out we managed to drink vodka from classic Russian tea glasses: One is 200 ml. And you take it in 2-3 sips... Needless to say I didn't make it to a concert where I was supposed to perform in a choir. Also, my knee hurt again real badly. And seeing the first sun of the year gave one hell of a headache...
  23. Did you get a gold ring for her/him?
  24. Estonian dude replied to Leoo's topic in Off-Topic
    You too old. In other news, whoever was asking, I see my gf at least twice a week, I was just abroad for 10 days and that caused a small break. Also, [bleep]ed up my knee. Again. Got my foot straight after having double ibuprofen and icepack only. Probably ripped apart the sewn meniscus...Which means a new surgery. Yay me!
