Give me the link to the pod. This sounds stupid as hell.

You have shakespeare and gay rights and whatever.

I saw this lady’s horrible tweet too, but I think it’s fair to say most of the discussion happened outside of its context, before people unearthed it.

Maybe it’s the “grass greener on the other side” type situation. I like to believe my culture—Russian culture—is very salvageable, despite what it looks like right now…

Since like last year you don’t need a visa for up to three months. If you want to stay and work you’ll need an actual visa.

Afiak hose commercial VPN services are on borrowed time in Russia.

I’m saying that kids who think they’re sharing their body with the soul of their aborted siblings are a laughing stock even among the people who have Minecraft YouTubers living in their heads.

The problem here is that it’s a fairly diverse community, with some people pushing incredibly out there stuff and more “conservative” elements that try to invalidate the former and out fakers. There is probably a conservative version of the headmate thing many people here would find plausible.

Also, from LGBT wiki :

Rainbowgenic: Rainbowgenic is a term to describe when the core’s parents had a previous miscarriage, stillbirth, or death during infancy, and the spirit and/or soul of the previous lost child/children stuck onto the next child. The body is shared between the previous sibling/siblings and the current sibling. This may be protogenic, spirigenic, and/or metagenic

Some truly powerful stuff.

I also don’t know much about the whole Ukraine Free Territory thing despite being curious. Most of the popular stuff on the issue reads like hagiography and dunks people go for in ml vs anarchist slap fights don’t seem to land, so I assume Makhno was pretty good.

goddamn it why did the fucking Europeans have to find the Incas when they were in the middle of a civil war such awful timing

Supposedly one of the reasons the civil war happened was because a bunch of Inca including the emperor died of smallpox, so it’s not exactly a coincidence.

Yeah. Come to think about it there are a lot of comedies like that. Like in Death of Stalin you’re probably not going to identify with Khrushchev too much or care about what happens to him.

Still, having protagonist(s) you’re supposed to relate to and care about at least a little bit has been the mainstream way of telling a story and making the story engaging for a long long time.

Isn’t that how everybody watches movies unless they’ve set out from the start to document and analyse instead of enjoy it?
