They look like they’re being told to smile or a family member will be killed.

I've spoken to some Fins and it's being that close to another human being causing that.

/S but only slightly

They sound like my kind of people. Time to look into graduate school in Finland

There was a meme picture of a Finnish bus stop with people queueing leaving about 1-2m between each person. When it was still current, I asked some friends of mine about it and they said "yeah, we definitely like our personal space", especially out in the countryside.

At the time of the pandemic it was hard for us Finns, as they said we should be 2 meters away from each other. Too close!

As a Finn I can confirm this.

I'm from Finland. It's late winter now. It's not Smiling Season yet.

Yeah, but it'll be a random family member - not necessarily a woman or LGBTQ+.

No no the guy is making a face like "I came here to fart don't follow me" and she's all "I came here to smell it"

Kinda small on my phone but I don't think so. Most ai stuff looks more air brushed and the light is usually weird. This has skin imperfections and clothes wrinkles that look very real.
