Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Finnish media reported on it already back in February. They’re doing exactly what they said they would when we joined NATO. Nobody here was particularly worried about an invasion to begin with - and even less so after the membership. The willingness to defend the country from an invasion is higher in Finland than almost anywhere else in the world, and that was already the case before Russia invaded Ukraine. And it’s not just about willingness - we’ve been preparing for it ever since World War II.
Mechanized warfare is Russia’s thing - and considering how miserably they failed at it on the open fields of Ukraine, I double dare them to try it in our dense forests, with no roads and massive Ice Age boulders everywhere, not to mention the lakes, bogs, rivers… and every tree and bush speaking Finnish. Good luck!
