Yes, I'm more lamenting the reputation abroad where such views take longer to change.

Unarmed? Score!

For the happiness thing, it's been that way for a long time. i think part of it is just us being terrible at appreciating good news hah. For PISA it's that our ranking has been dropping so now it's not cherished but just painful.

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

There's been actually a huge counter-reaction to this, with people rushing to say how the ranking must be bullshit. I'd imagine that at least outweighs that potential pride effect. It was PISA we used to cherish.

Your criticism over Finland being a good place to live according to Finns is that you say out of nowhere that you were tortured and writing on the walls with blood and shit like that, of course I'm going to be confused as fuck. It comes off straight up crazy.

Minnesota and Upper peninsula could be closest

Many Finnish people historically immigrated to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Iron Range of northern Minnesota to work in the mining industry; much of the population in these regions is of Finnish descent.

I'm thoroughly puzzled by what the fuck you are on about

What criticism am I avoiding??

It's more of a phrase that just means "I guess things are pretty okay, considered". People say "can't complain" and then immediately before and after complain hah

??

I have no trouble seeing the faults in Finnish system. Again, nobody thinks we're perfect, far from it. But I have no idea about your personal stuff wtf.
