I’m a introvert even in Finnish standards lol.

"How can you tell if a Finn is an extrovert? While talking to you, he looks at your shoes and not his own." Boom! You've probably heard it already.

depression

I'd be depressed if I had to endure the darkness of a Finnish winter.

They understood it, didn’t care. Meh. Fuck them, I guess lol.

TBH in principle I'm ready to give up on the Whatsapp boycott, it's just so costly socially. I've lost out on a ton of connections at this point. Maybe nothing would have come of them but it's such a high price to pay for a principle. And after all I use Telegram so I'm hardly pure.

BUT there's a deal-breaker: WA demands physical access to a SIM, i.e. you can't sign up with another number or even continue to use it without the ongoing SIM permission. This is just so outrageous (no other apps do it), and anyway I often change SIMs because of travel. The only workaround is to sign up for a business account (yes seriously) with a landline number, but if you try any funny business (like using a virtual landline number) you will get banned - and indeed I got banned! What a nightmare this damn app is. And also the dumbest name ever.
