Rye bread is top-tier. It should be more popular so that places outside of my country make it. I'm feeling the withdrawal symptoms kicking in and NO, whole-grain is completely different and inferior as a substitute.
Kvass is also the superior bubbly beverage.

>>1516300I'm not! since the April, but even then I wasn't
too close to them. So my life is more or less ok, and in the cities that are far from the frontlines it's almost the same as it used to be, on the surface. Only there's a curfew, occasional checkpoints, Czech hedgehogs sometimes somewhere in the streets, people walking around discussing the news and political matters which is still a bit bizarre to me (I mean that everyone is basically on the same wavelength and it's easy to relate to a rando), and air raid alerts ofc (that don't necessarrily mean missile or drone attack but occasionally we get those too). We'd get power outages for a few months since October but it's been a month since the last one if I'm not mistaken, and it's not dark in the streets anymore (the street lights weren't working at full force or not at all in some places, so people were walking with flashlights). Idk it might sound shallow but that's how life is where it's safe and comfortable, and it's pretty calm for now as opposed to aforementioned October and following months with those massive air attacks.
Also there's this new
subculture of teenage weebs that look like picrel and meet up at the malls to have mass brawls with football hooligans, gopniks, and migrants from Caucasus and it's a big deal in Ukraine and Russia now. They call themselves PMC Ryodan, and initially, allegedly, such a group of teens was seen beating up some gopnick bullies that harassed them in the mall in Moscow. In Ukraine specifically, they claim that PMC Ryodan is a project of FSB and is basically Russian PSYOP. They're being hunted down by police in both countries. I honestly kekked at the way they described them in the news: "teens with long hair that wear black loose-fitting clothes" - so basically every second zoomer is a "ryodan"? Must be tough to be a slightly alt teen nowadays

It was funny when they instantly started explaining what is anime to me, just assuming I'm too old to know lol

>>1517161That's a Russian brand that makes author clothing "with national-patriotic, monarchical, and church-orthodox symbols", and it's advertisement for their socks and t-shirts too I guess. I've seen something similar months before and it's been mentioned in the comments - their previous/older line of clothes was named Je Suis Donbass, and many people were bewildered by commercial photoshoot back then, too. They like to shoot children in mini shorts for some reason, people find it pedophilic and weird, I think that was the author's implication as well, nothing specific.

>>1517465Idk anon, you probably mean there's no trans hysteria or something, and while I agree that it's good and hope there won't be anything like that in the future, sadly, it goes hand in hand with a general lack of progressivism which is a result of lower quality of life: there're always other issues to deal with. People don't go crazy with human rights activism and wokeness because overall situation with human rights is worse compared to West.
Regarding idealization, so far, I've only seen western scrotes and alt-rights that praise Eastern Europe for all the wrong reasons, and it's mostly based on stereotypes and generalizations anyway, plus, they tend to lump EE countries together, so, I suspect, they basically refer to Russia, its anti-western rhetoric and laws regarding "gay agenda" and domestic violence, which fucking suck, or think that its conservatard/domostroy freaks, like Sterlingov and Dugin, represent common sentiments among the population.
I don't really see what's so trad about EE countries. I'm too lazy to look into statistics, but I doubt that there're much less divorces or single-mother households in EE, so it's hardly the last bulwark of family values as some people think. In Russia, they even joke that there're already lots of same-sex "couples" with children, implying there're lots of single/divorced mothers that raise children with the help of grandma. It's not that different in Ukraine, as far as I can judge. Pretty sure there're also highest numbers of children that end up in orphanages (in Europe) and more child abuse in general.
Wouldn't say that people are much more religious here, too. In Ukraine, I feel like only western part has more religious people, both orthodox and catholic, which doesn't necessarrily mean they're raging retrogrades tho.
People are more sexist on average for sure, more lookist toward women, more homophobic, but I feel like there's been a gradual shift in views towards more progressive ones in recent years, even among older generations. Still, people in general are very different but I'd say only a minority has truly traditional views, and I've never actually seen a "trad" family or a woman that strives for such life. Yeah, there're pick-mes just like anywhere else, there're women that put up with various shenanigans and abuse from men because of poverty, low self-esteem and poor boundaries, there're women that do most cooking and cleaning on top of working full-time - not because they enjoy it, but because they were tricked into believing that their husbands/bfs are inept and helpless. Still, they're just regular women, not tradwives from someone's wet dreams.
We have our own flavor of wokeness here in Ukraine though, hehe, people criticize and condemn Russian culture now (which I can understand, ok) and many Russian-speaking ones fully switch to Ukrainian, which is also ok, but it makes some of them haughty af. At least that's what I see on the internet. Some of them feel morally superior to Russian-speaking Ukrainians and ascribe ridiculous beliefs and opinions to them, basically stating that they're pro-Russian. Such attitude, strong desire to lecture others and virtue signalling reminds me of twitter woke culture. I don't really talk to people irl and I just hope it's not
that popular among "thinking youth".
>>1517839Damn
nonnie, I'm sorry. It's hard for me to say how normal it is though, but yeah, it happens. I'd get catcalled and grabbed much more when I was a teen, it doesn't happen that often anymore but some men love to violate physical boundaries by making "gentleman gestures" (and react like idiots when you try to avoid it) and think it's really important for you to know what they think about your looks. I don't usually hear anything vulgar but it's all just really uncalled-for. From what I heard, our teen scrotes can be pretty handsy (although I don't remember anything like that in my high school, thank god).

He told me he was hit and now felt terrible and wanted to get to the hospital and he was lost. I told him I can walk him there and talk to the doctors. All was fine, I let him lean on my shoulder and we went there, talk to the doctors, but at the last minute he starts acting normal, as if nothing happened at all, and says he doesn't doctor's help. I was like, uh, okay, whatever, I'm going home. I went out quickly and noticed he is following me. I tried to walk even quicker and he was following me still. Eventually I stopped and ask what the hell was his problem, so he started very persistently asking for my number. So I run away from him through an unknown neighborhood until he lost me.

>Curious to know how you found lc too, if it's not a secret heheI actually was a Kiwi Farms regular before, but the atmosphere there started to turn me off. I think it's a big problem with "free speech" sites, that we get a lot of people who get driven off from mainstream social media for all the good reasons. The occasional but very noticeable autism leaks from the autistic thuderdome really annoyed me, so I left KF for good for LC. Although I still browse some threads on my favorite cows.

Next couple of years another party wins, destroys the stuff the first party did and sets up completley different goals. We never get anywhere really, there is no focus.

The place is beautiful ofc but it's telling that for years the biggest foreign investments in the country were money from Bulgarians living abroad, sending them to their families. Everyone has someone from their families living abroad. Here you could make somr business, make it work, make it profitable and then the mafia will come and tell you this is our business now and if you don't want to sell it on loss to them, they will start sending you and your family threats or they will light it up on fire. Mafia, prosecution and the government are very intertwined. Here the labour is very cheap, the taxes for corporations too and yet almost no big company wants to come here - there is a reason.
Though, i do have a lot of rights, compared to women in other places, i work monday to friday, i almost don't spend money on anything else than necessities, haven't been on vacation since 2014, my salary isn't the lowest, but isn't the highest either and I can't even buy a parking spot in the neighborhood i work in and that isn't even the most expensive neighborhood.
For reference, yearly i make around 6600 euro, after the taxes, the parking spot is 25 000 euro, not to mention if i wanted to buy an apartment, ofc they are more expensive. And I'm 30 almost

Bulgarian lev is 1.97 for 1 euro, so i roughly calculated that, i get 1100 leva montly (after taxes) and once i again i should say I'm not even considered poor by our standarts, but as i already have said, that money goes mostly for utilities/food and that kind of stuff. I hate shopping anyways, so i shop only like when I'm in a desperate need of something, i buy clothes very rarely, lol my first cousins live in the us and i actually wear a lot of my female cousin's leftovers (in the sense that her mom buys her a lot of stuff and sometimes i get the ones she didn't like) and stuff like that. I'm very happy and lucky that i live in an apartment owned by a family member, so I don't have to pay to a landlord and such. Don't get me wrong, i have money for the necessities, i eat, pay the bills and have roof over my head but i definitely understand why people go abroad - as i mentioned i have family in the us, by the us standard they are probably around lower to middle working class (something like me here) and yet their ability to buy/do stuff is way bigger than mine, if that makes sense. I understand why that many people leave and i too understand why foreigners think people here i overreacting - it's very nice if you come here on a vacation, it's a beautiful country, seaside, mountains and a lot of other beautiful sights, relatively safe country too, cheap for foreigners, nice for a few days, but when you are born here it is a different story. I have talked with a lot of bulgarians living abroad and they always express they want to come back living here, but it's not viable to come back and keep living the same lifestyle as they are used to living abroad.
Not to mention the inflation rising and the fact that my salary isn't rising, like at all.
I get the sentiment that this isn't the worst situation, i can admit that, but also i have to restrict myself from buying anything just so i don't fuck my budget

Western zoomers and millennials especially have no knowledge whatsoever about eastern europe, nor are they curious to learn. They're obsessed with east asia though as asian elements are a huge part of zoomer and millennial culture. Where the hell do you all meet those western "slavaboos", most westerners can't even name a single eastern euro country
very true about the incel rhetoric eastern euro men are adopting and it's annoying as fuck. They all worship andrew tate like he's the second coming of christ even though andrew tate is a westerner that talks about things that have nothing to do with us KEK. Not only dad but Tate came to eastern europe to exploit it and these cucked romanian boys worship him while he prostitutes their girlfriends/sisters
I'd say eastern european women have it the worst when it comes to men: they're the most unattractive, it's considered "gay" to take care of yourself as a man, theyre not pretty to begin with but they also let themselves go and go bald and fat, they're extremely entitled, they're incel-minded, misogynistic as fuck, embrace western douchebag ideologies like andrew tate, just all around awful.

Sorry for being a tourist in this thread, though geographically speaking Finland is way more in the East than most countries considered East Euro, I guess we're not really viewed as part of EE by others, either. Finns are super sensitive about this due to being the biggest ass lickers of the CCCP while also being a democracy back during the Cold War, so if you really want to upset Finns you just have to refer to Finland as Eastern European kek.

Such communities often have their own local freaks, extra unhinged ones, and the atmosphere in these places makes me feel ill quite quickly. I think partially it can be due to the language, foreign language might actually work as a barrier that make everything more neutral, whereas you're much more sensitive to your first one… but I also never felt comfy in those places. Like they're more aggressive or something. I haven't been to libfem or any fem spaces since ~2016 but I remember them as extremely restricting, god forbid you say a word from the War-and-Peace-long list of offensive terms which include something like "idiot". As for handmaidens, unfortunately, it seems like Russian/Ukrainian/Belorussian women tend to be more sympathetic towards men, even GNC women and lesbians, which has always been so frustrating to me.

I'm Ukrainian and stopped frequenting Russian websites around 2014-2016, but from what I remember VK feminist spaces were… something else. You had absolutely crazy libfems and queers who tried to introduce gender-neutral language conventions which were broken as fuck and didn't work at all because Russian is a highly gendered language, so what they did looked like a freak show (does anyone remember this public group called something like "equal" or something like that? They used those stupid мозгодрочи_ла_есса or something. Shit is wild). They were usually the butt of a joke and had very small user base but also attracted a huge hatedom and hate groups were way larger than SJW groups.
Radfems were pretty boring. Very small groups who mostly posted boring academia stuff and the traffic was very low. You would be very lucky if you can have a small chat in the comments. Lots of polilez types and a lot of women tried to adopt dyke look, which felt as forced and try-hard.
Of course, some larger groups existed and they leaned towards radfem. The one I remember was called "men are nor needed" (МНН, if I remember it right). It was pretty based and the admin knew how to get traction on the internet, so it was both informative and funny (lots of memes, actually funny memes), good community and so on.
But yeah, it was pretty shit all things considered. A lot of really crazy people, outright repulsive women and "no fun allowed" types.
The incel rhetoric also became popular during this time. Some sort of cargo cult around western alt-right too. So a lot of feminist spaces went to shit quickly cause they were raided by haters. Groups that had poor moderation went to shit very quickly or became "no fun allowed" heavily moderated types. It all looked very bleak.

Alot of them aren't even doing that anymore. The ageism towards old people there is insane. The hospitals are rundown shitholes where they literally just send them to die. I was sent to one when I was 12 for a kidney issue and I couldn't stop crying to go back home. The nurses were all really fucking rude and did not give a fuck. I think the attitude and rudeness of the people are a much bigger problem than the corruption imo. Maybe my family and I have gotten desensitized from being abroad, but every time we go back everyone seems ruder and ruder. I had literally every woman anywhere I went look me up and down judgingly, multiple rude encounters with store owners (i.e. дръвчане) and other people in public. American fake politness is cringe af but at least you don't have to deal with people wanting to make a scene in public everywhere for no reason other than that they're miserable. It's Karens and Steves, but if you made a whole country out of them. kek

>>1531027>how do you feel about the warI was a child when Crimea happened and I remember I used to worry about it spilling over nonetheless, if only I knew.. A few months back I saw a car with ukrainian plates and bullet holes in the back. A side of my family is from Ukraine, (which is the case for lots of us) and we still haven’t heard from them since last year. I worry if Russia invades us as well there will be no way out, Moldova is not Ukraine after all, from the border to the capital it’s 3 hours by car. I still check the news daily, very stressed. (sorry for cringey ramble)
>how are things in Moldova?A few people I know fleed to Romania & europe in general since the start of the war, but that’s for those who can afford it. Nothing much in the sense of military escalation, just bomb threats, russian backed payed protests and the 30% inflation. With 200MDL you used to walk out the grocery store with a full bag, now it’s just 3 or 4 things, which doesn’t sound bad bad but bills are horrible atm even with state compensation.

Though I guess from observing others, you will be always othered to some extent, people are more accepting if the country is doing well but as things get worse economically etc and more immigrants come you can feel the vibe change, even with the more accepting people. Everyone is fine with shitting on eastern europeans anyway since it's not considered racist it's a safe way to let their negative feelings towards immigrants out. My polish is terrible but i still have an accent in english that makes me easy to spot as EE.
You ever run into moids that think EE women will be the perfect obedient bangmaids? Even heard some say you don't need to put in effort just get us some mcdonalds and we will be super grateful because we are so poor, but with the local girls they have to put in effort. Also met someone who asked if we have roads and shit.. Now if you come back to poland the men here will think you are a whore because we're all so "liberated" in the west.
Most of the EE girls just hang out together, but i was too foreign for them by the time more people immigrated, and then there are those who will avoid any other EE's in their friend group and act weird about it. I moved back recently tho and it's even worse, maybe because it's a small town, but they assume you think you are superior to them because you lived abroad and dislike you for the shit they made up about you in their head. People are just so fucking tiresome everywhere. I feel even more disconnected here and don't even know how to talk to people, making friends seems impossible.

That sucks, cause my country goes to shit with every passing day, and even though I like it here, living in Ukraine would be difficult for the next 10 ten years minimum kek. I have friends who lived in Poland for 5 years or so now and they all had a pretty decent jobs, so it's not like they are some uneducated and rude people, but they are absolutely hated in Poland. I experienced same stuff in other countries.
This really sucks, cause I'm finishing my medical education this year and doctors are being payed like shit in my country. In EU at least, my colleagues are treated as humans and get decent pay. I would rather get shots in other countries, but I heard fist hand that patients would refuse to work with you and insult you in your face.
No. 1546952
>>1546922Yeah, well, Polish people notoriously dislike immigrants, which is ironic cause they also migrate to Germany and other countries where they are treated the same way. Can't blame them though, the sort that works in other countries is a… colorful bunch. You have good hard working people yeah, but also a lot of outright bydlo.
One of my childhood friends is an opera singer who works in Poland currently and she said that she hates it there because people treat her differently. Another guy worked as a doctor there and he said that patients don't want to have him as a doctor. Another guy is a med student, and he is bullied to hell and back by his peers. That sort of stuff.
Personally I consider England cause they have a shortage of doctors after brexit, so plenty of work there. I already know some English, so it wouldn't be a problem to renew my degree there and improve my English somewhat. If you speak German, it's a great choice too. Personally I think Slovenia is a nice choice too. Idk, it comfy and cheap and it's easier to learn another Slavic language.
But if you ask me, going to another country is a major pain in the ass, you should consider that you would need to work nonstop, even harder than when you were getting your degree. Getting a part time job is a must too, on top of your studies. Even better if you can travel there with a bf or a family member and they can support you. I don't know any person who moved to another country alone and managed to become a doctor there. Personally I'm too burned out to work my ass off everyday in hellish conditions. But it's still more preferable than staying in my homecountry and get salary than can barely cover my basic needs.

>>1546942Same nona, I'm glad that at least when we got christianised they couldn't weed out all the traditions and there's little things we do for holidays and solstices and seasonal changes that obviously predate christianity. Also in old folktales and legends you can see how many of the creatures are spirits of nature. I still really wish I could know more about it, in my country especially we only have small fragments saved and maybe the only way to know more is to read what people from other countries have written about it, and also some academic writing on it.
A while ago I read about a nearby village's easter traditions. They played a lot of games while celebrating for three days, some just for the women and some for the men and some mixed. A lot of them seem to have roots in fertility rituals and mirror the cycle of growth and death. Also games where men and women could announce they're together or would get married. Some of them were even quite vulgar lmao. I don't remember all the details but it was interesting to see what people got up to for fun and for the holidays.

They expect everyone to speak Russian and will refuse to speak Lithuanian even if they know it. Old scrotes like to waste everyone's time by harassing staff members to speak to them in Russian, before giving up after being told 10 times that the worker only speaks Lithuanian. That's just a small example, though.

Nonas how do you feel about your country's average man? I'm romanian and I noticed a lot of guys here will treat you like a princess when they're pursuing you but when you get together with them, they become very careless and avoidant, and almost always put their problems in your lap as well. A lot of them also get pressed because they think they should be "the man of the house" and when they obviously can't support you financially 100% they will treat you like shit. I've seen this in many of my friends' relationshis as well.

>>1550943Happy Easter! I'll visiting my parents with my siblings to exchange eggs and stuff our faces of course.
On the menu today we have salads as mezze, there's the classic Russian salad (which Russians call differently), a salad with leeks and mortadella, a salad with chicken and walnuts. Then there's (meat and rice) stuffed peppers, prebranac (oven baked beans), and, naturally, roast pig (+horseradish). It's not a celebration if at least one pig doesn't die. Oh and also some pita and cornbread (proja). And the eggs obviously. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
I usually have leftovers for the entire week after holidays, and we make similar meals for Easter, Christmas and Slava

>>1550943Happy belated Easter nonkies!
I stayed at home with my parents, and the only couple of traditional meals we had were paskas (easter bread) and aspic (I don't eat it). There were boiled eggs of course, dyed with onion skins. Paskas didn't turn out that great, most probably because we used dry yeast instead of live one, so dough didn't rise that much and bread was kinda… harder than usual I guess? still eatable but not superb. Also I went to shop last moment so the rainbow sprinkles were all bought up and I took m&ms for a topping, it surely didn't make it worse kek although it felt iconoclastic.
>>1548183Ukraine, can say the same regarding mental issues part. Emotional management is really shitty, I'm not even saying anything about anger, I feel like a lot of men are so, so sensitive and touchy, and easily upset by some mundane crap or just almost any small thing. Neither can they manage it internally, nor at least externally just to be mindful of others and not spoiling
their mood. And it's such a pile of bull that they're allegedly brought up in a way that makes them stoic or whatever so you have to create a safe space for their emotions or something–I feel like majority of men whine, moan, and sulk too easily and eagerly, and you actually have to show that there're limits and it is, in fact, really annoying. They just expect you to give them shoulder to cry on and cheer them up by default, even if you don't know each other too well. It's mostly true for millennials though. I don't interact with gen z guys so idk how they've been brought up but many older guys definitely were coddled too much (if not abused) and it's the root of many problems. Girls are not coddled like that, and that's why there're lots of cases when a woman turns out completely normal regardless of upbringing but her brother is a complete mess, a lost cause and/or a total douche.
I feel like there's a subtype that's not that rare among older men and is quite positive, it's hardworking family men that seem to respect their wives and daughters (and other women). I actually encounter such guys relatively often and they do seem nice and wholesome. I might be wrong but I feel like they either grew up in countryside or spend most of their time there, and they have their part of chores that they actually do (either that or they have a nice job they're good at). Not saying that all men living in countryside are great ofc, moreover, some places, households are just squalid and it's miserable there so naturally there're alcoholics and other crappy motherfuckers.
Anyways, just like Bulgarian nonna said
>>1548353 a lot of things could probably be said about men in general, regardless of the nationality. Nevertheless, some of my girlfriends and just women I know that have been abroad (I've never been there so I personally can't compare) said that Western/Southwestern European men are generally nicer in comparison, and the main difference is that they're not as demanding, especially when it comes to appearance. So ours are pickier despite not looking that great on average (and looking worse than Western European men). I remember one of my girlfriends telling about a German guy that was shocked by misogyny of Ukrainian and Russian men lol, especially because of them being such slutshamers. I'd expect Eastern European men to be bigger slutshamers than Western men, even Americans. Not only men tho.

Mariupol theater is one huge mass grave where many people that were hiding were buried alive under the rubble and then everything was filled with concrete and later (after concerts and dancing on the bones) just demolished completely, just like many other buildings there. The whole cities and villages are erased from the face of Earth, children are stolen by their parents, people go through filtration camps while their flats are taken over by russian soldiers, girls and women are raped and killed on the occupied territories and there's no police or anyone to care about it, moreover, it's likely done by russian soldiers so surely no one will investigate, people get kidnapped and tortured, people become homeless because no one is going to give them new houses (but there's an option of buying flats made of shit and sticks at Moscow prices), no proper healthcare on occupied territories, infrastructure is bombed in attempts at throwing free territories back in medieval times, museums are robbed, etc.

>>1561987Yeah nona, agreed. They might not directly demand any of that, and most actually won't I think, but the resentfulness, passive aggressiveness, and various remarks will be present nonetheless. I've known some quite unsightly men that nevertheless managed to be serial monogamists with much better-looking (ex)girlfriends, and they still had a lot to complain about, and would cheat and/or initiate breakups at least half the times. Not that there're no reasons to complain when your partner is hot, but theirs were just ridiculous most of the time and only showed
their worst sides. It's like being a person and not fitting into the ideal they've created in their mind is something they have to put up with, endure, and then they feel like they've put too much effort for nothing so they can be nasty and petty about it because they're apparently
victims no matter what. At the same time, the more flaws of theirs you accept the better, it's like you always have to prove you're capable of unconditional love but it won't even be appreciated because it's never enough. Meanwhile, no attempts at holding themselves to higher standard and improving as a person.

Afaik, every communist country claims they're only building communism, EE countries had years to achieve it and yet it didn't work. Were there any examples of successful attempts? I personally know only shitty examples, so it's hard for me to see communism as something that offers bright future. For me, it's associated with the violation of human rights, rampant propaganda, and censorship in the first place. I also feel like many things people are used to wouldn't exist under communism, and people love to have nice things, various means of entertainment, and freedom of expression.

>>1562522>>1562331The problem is that these statements are made by sheltered Western intellectuals who lack firsthand experience with what real violence is like. By contrast, many communist leaders, Mao and Castro, for example, didn't win because they were better dialecticians, but because they were skilled military commanders who could use populism to gain support from peasants. Similarly, leaders like Ceaușescu and Saddam came to power through their use of political violence and the size of their armed forces. While there may be university professors who understand Marxism and communism on a theoretical level, they do not possess the same level of physical power and influence as those who have military or political backgrounds. In fact, even intellectuals who become involved in violent movements, such as the Shining Path and Khmer Rouge, can be transformed by the realities of warfare and become hardened soldiers or thugs. It is believed that Pol Pot became psychotic during the Cambodian civil war, leading him and his followers to become more aggressive and devoted to each other, ultimately leading to the horrific atrocities committed under his rule.

>>1562850I think "the expiration date" here varies so much that it gets paradoxical.
On one hand, we girls are told to have our own money and never depend on a man and never rush things like marriage, the later, the better and on the other hand, people pressure you with "y no boyfriend, you should get married tomorrow or the day after tomorrow", all that after you hit 20 (in my experience). Don't get me started when almost everyone in your circles has a boyfriend and some of them start bombarding you with "oh, but it's so niice, why don't you have a boyfriend? I have this friend, I think you'll like him", and assume there is something wrong with you but it's usually the ones who beg their bfs for the bare minimum, so I don't care that much anymore.
>I wonder how people with react if a 30 year old woman would get a 25 yo boyfriendThe older generations will condemn that, on the principle that boys mature slower than girls and that she's someone who steals his precious youth (ironic, isn't it). I heard someone who is in their 50's talk about a couple they know (their age group) where the wife is 2 yrs older than her husband and considered her geriatric in comparison.
As for zoomers, quite a lot of them like the idea of dating a woman 2-5 years older than them. Mostly still drop her after some time, usually when she wants marriage and kids or just commitment, the ones who stick together are some of the cutest couples I know (both zoomer and millenial couples).

>>1563544That's a popular topic in cosmetology, types of aging. The "desirable" types are ones where you get a little bit of wrinkles and your eyes and mouth corners get a bit droopy, etc., and the most undesirable one is a deformation type or something that changes the face shape–apparently it's more common in Slavic women and this type is even called "Slavic" sometimes. I've seen some young girls and women being afraid of aging like this and planning surgeries and other shit ahead, which is exactly the intention of all those articles and videos.
That surely is ridiculous, especially when you talk about women that went through soviet and post-soviet times: hard life changes your face, and it's not like everyone was supplied with good skincare products or cared about it at all. So meaningless and futile to fret over looking old when you ARE old, damn. And yeah, that's when men will never moisturize or dye their hair to cover greying.
Btw, speaking about age gap, surprisingly, I know quite a few examples of couples where a woman is 5-10 years older, and I don't know ofc what other people might be saying about it, but I don't really hear any talks about such cases. However, it's definitely not normalized because most men would want someone younger, even just a bit, and women were memed into believing that younger men (or even of the same age) are "less serious" by default or some shit, which is just… come on… like a grown-ass man looking for a teenage/early 20s gf would be more serious.
I was often approached by men in their 30s and older when I was a teen and sometimes still am by those who visibly are at least 10 years older which just pisses me off. Although I'm nearly 30 myself so it's hard to tell if they're actually older which is even sadder.

>>1564488I think it only has to do with weight tbh, plus some people have plumper faces even despite the weight (and then gravitation happens to them), and some people's skin is more prone to sagging I guess, and it must be more visible on weaker jawlines/chins. Also I'm pretty sure some endocrinological conditions play the role, too, like hypothyroidism. I've definitely seen it, but either on 50+ y.o. at least slightly overweight or 30+ but obese women. When they try to scare you with this type, they usually show photos of old, probably postmenopause overweight actresses, while the ideal is Nicole Kidman most of the time, but well, she's younger and she's not just normal weight, she's fit (and even her jawline skin sags a little). It's a scam basically, that makes some women think they'll be rapidly turning into bulldogs once they turn 25.

>>1564568I believe it's genetics+ weight + how much you take care for yourself, i have forehead wrinkles (which everyone in my family has had) since i was 25… i started graying at the same time, i still have only a few gray hairs, I'm 30 now, but they are multiplying. The forehead wrinkles aren't that much worse but they are still here. And I'm very skinny and from some time (idk how much exact) I realised my face lost volume and i kind of look like one of those celebs that have had buccal fat removal and i hate it. I can't believe people pay to look like that. And yet i still look relatively youthful, compared to my Bulgarian moid peers

>>1562490same in my country, this huge age gap shit is so normalised through books we read in high school, those stories might as well be lolita. and the age of consent being 14 there means that a 34 year old scrote hitting on teen you would think he is in the right. i thank my family for being feminists and strict, otherwise my emo ass would have ran away with some online groomer. meanwhile when i was 14 i was dating a 18 year old scrote and he was already ugly as fuck. because like many girls, we been memed into thinking we are grotesque unless we look like cgi anime characters. my 1st weeaboo boyfriend was only 18 with a receding hairline, belief that "gym is just for gays" and a chest so lacking in muscle that his natural bellyfat looked like a beergut in contrast to that, and he was literally trying to grow a neckbeard because he thought that was masculine.
>>1563550seriously, they have better stamina and better looks, more energy to do things and have fun. scrotes are only better older if they have significantly more money and are spending it on keeping themselves fit and on keeping you in the relationship. go for a younger moid and don't think about trying to change one to care about his skin or hair, they will act like children throwing a tantrum, it's very pathetic.

Forehead wrinkles depend on how much you raise your brows, I knew girls and guys who had them at their early teens. It doesn't really matter much unless it's super deep and even then you can just train yourself to not lift your brows too often.

>>1564928Like other nonnitas said, go to a WE country.
Besides being more well kept and pleasant to the eye, there are higher chances of WE moids of treating you better and have a better life mentally and financially speaking too. Now, I don't blame EE moids for the financial part, as we all live in this shithole, but my god, they treat you so bad when they are broke. I encountered recently a few moids that memed their soon to be fiances that wanting a ring is golddigging as they have a strained financial situation. I wish I made this up.
>>1565672The amount of times I've been told that I'm bitter, ugly and jeleaous for finding those couples weird I would've been rich by now. And they are similar in their traits too - the girl is vulnerable, from an
abusive family with a bad financial situation and the moid is someone who barely graduated highschool, usually has a job that unfourtunately has shit pay (waiter, bartender, supermarket worker) and drives the shittiest BMW E46 car that has chipped paint and is dying every passing day (most likely it's not his car anyway) but flexes it because it's BMW (we call these cars frying pans here).

And yeah, I'm way too expressive, maybe i should try training myself to not raise my brows that much as one of the Anons suggested kek
And now on another note
I'm a Bulgarian anon and allegedly, kek someone tried to kill the bulgarian general prosecutor (which is corrupt as hell and a pawn put at that position, so noone would bomb him) and it's funny but a little bit sad at same time kek bc if anyone powerful wanted to kill him - he would be dead, it wouldn't be just an attempt.
Bulgarian mafia knows who to call, if they really wanna kill someone via bomb, last 30 years we have seen that.
And not to mention all of the discrepancies in the info from officials, fishy all around.
And the fucking bomb wasn't even attached to his car, it was next to the road kek
pic related is where the bomb exploded and the media can't stop parroting that it was a "very professional job" top kek and I actually wrote this a few days ago but i didn't post it bc i fell asleep kek but since then, they've changed the official version multiple times. Shit show all around

>>1564516I also think the way we dress matters too, almost every 35+ lady I know from my grandma's village got memed hard into wearing headscarves and grandma type of clothes because other flattering and cute clothes will make her look like a prostitute according to their husbands and other babushkas there. Sometimes it happens to the ones from towns too. I believe the stereotype originates from people from poor villages and since westerners don't bother researching more well off places, ofc they think that we poof into babushkas at 30.
I hate seeing this type of blouses (also the feather print, couldn't find a pic) on any woman, be it young or old, it's so unflattering and ugly.

>>1570045I agree with you nona, pretty sure it gradually changes for the better but victimblaming is normalized in our culture and it kind of creates this vicious cycle where you'll keep such instances a secret, fearing the reaction of other people (and lack of reaction from those who are supposed to defend you), but you live among these same people and it inevitably affects the way you think, too. Men just shift the blame, and women might be so afraid of getting raped they try to distance themselves from
victims, like it doesn't concern them at all, and create this illusion for themselves that there're certain rules that prevent this kind of thing, so if you don't know better it means you kinda had it coming, which means you don't deserve sympathy. At the core, it's just shame and fear, and it leads to lack of empathy because a woman wants to completely repress thoughts and feelings surrounding this topic instead of putting herself in
victim's shoes or reliving her own traumatic experience. (Not saying that's how
everyone thinks ofc)
And as for snitching, I have a suspicion that it goes back to soviet times/past in general, kind of a "genetic memory" in some people that makes them think that jail is the worst and too much even for those who did something bad. Although modern jail in slavic countries isn't like scandinavian either, so… anyway it just seems like a really outdated line of thinking. Some mixture of fear of losing the "breadwinner", extreme loyalty to your husband, and lack of empathy/projected vulnerability and shame which imo is often a reason why mothers can be awful to their daughters.

Krk is connected to the mainland with a bridge and there's bus lines that go there from Rijeka.
Honestly price wise I feel like almost all places are similar nowadays except for the biggest tourist towns like Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Brač that are a step above. I was staying in absolute bumfuck nowhere last year near Zadar and prices for restaurants were the same as in Zadar for example (if we ignore the biggest tourist traps in Zadar) so I fear there isn't much of a difference.

To be honest, life here does seem appealing, everything used to be cheaper, housing especially, many cities are cleaner and safer. I visited a few places as a tourist and I would not mind moving, although I am fine where I reside.

Do you know any sectarians personally? I might be wrong but it feels like some post-soviet countries are infested with charlatans, (paranoid) schizophrenics and just extremely impressionable people in general. It's so easy to encounter someone who believes in multiple religions and other esoteric stuff down to spirits like domowiks. The lighter version of it is just someone who talks about "energies" and the Vedas and true femininity and masculinity. Those might also attend lectures of some fucking relationships gurus. I was wondering how widespread it is in Eastern Europe in general.
The question was inspired by a recent encounter with seemingly normal, regular man that believes in god, satan, incubus, succubus, anunnaki, some ancient devices that could "turn off" a person like a tv, and other shit. He also believes a woman's soul is either in her uterus or vagina (he didn't say, just made a vague gesture), and apparently, we can control things with it, for example, some special kind of UFO. And it's not even a fruit of his sick imagination, it's just an AllatRa sect's lore. They also carry out some kind of "scientific" experiments (like resurrecting a chicken or something). I asked him, doesn't it seem suspicious to him that they obviously have a lot of money. He said: "Do I think it's suspicious that people who work hard and try to send a message and carry out important experiments EARN lots of money?", lol. Its leader emerged from Donbass, they're apparently prorussian (at least had been more open about it before 2013-14), support panslavism, described some perfect human that'll save the world whose biography is similar to putin's, support Trump (even though they're environmentalists?). Meanwhile, in Russia, it's believed to be an SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) project to destabilize Russia. And it actually has/had SBU guys among their members, although pro-russian ones, and, surprisingly (or not? I just had no clue), some other Ukrainian politicians, possibly including our first president, a couple of mayors, Nadezhda Savchenko (former pilot that fought in war in 2014, that was later captured by russians, and a former deputy) and Irina Vereshchuk (minister of reintegration of temporarily occupied territories)–at least they gave interviews to the sect. Its office is also situated in Kyiv Pechersk Lavra territory for some reason, which only recently was the FSB lair. I've heard of some shit that's related to the sect but only just learned about the sect itself and the connection between all this stuff. It's apparently related to the old sect White Brotherhood and also Russian pulp fiction about accidental time travel (popadantsy). Their videos are something though. Picrel, they just sit like this, the guru spews some abstract nonsense in an extremely mellow manner while the ladies (one of them is an annunak with reptilian eyes) listen to him, nod and smile and contribute just a bit, they act like androids and remind me of the Poppy's older videos. The guru, like a true Donbass businessman, wears a golden chain and a couple of signet rings. Oh, and the ladies (there're more) apparently engage in lesbian orgies that he sometimes join and it prevents some horrible disasters from happening. Peculiar, huh

That's an interesting topic but I personally love political nutjobs better. I know that in Russia there is a group of people that call themselves "citizens of USSR". They are kinda like American sovereign citizens, except they believe that USSR never fell and modern Russia is, in fact, a financial company that was registered in the UK and has no right to exist. They think that Russian passport is a sham, so they keep their Soviet passport (if they were born before 1991). They also don't believe in Russian laws and so think that the government can't tax them. So they are usually arrested for tax evasion. The citizens of USSR also believe that banks are a scam, so they take huge loans get rekted for not paying back. They have a government of sorts, with their own KGB, ministers and parliament. Everyone can become a member of government, like a minister of health or a governor, if they give all their personal info (like passport scans. Passports of Russian Federation btw, which is weird, since they think that sorts of passports are a sham) and pay a small fee of a 15 000 rubles or so (dunno how much it is). One of the "presidents of USSR" was some dentist who got arrested for taking a huge loan from a bank and not paying it back lol.
If you think it is not funny enough, they believe that USSR stands for "Union of Slavic forces of Rus". So also some religious mumbo-jumbo thrown in.
There is a wiki article if you like to know more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Slavic_Forces_of_RussiaThe article is even more hilarious cause there is some serious religious fuckery thrown in, something that I didn't knew before. A great read.

>and pay a small fee of a 15 000 rubles or so (dunno how much it is)that's actually a huge amount for most russians, the average salary in most cities (excluding Moscow and SPb) is around 20.000~25.000 rubles and for pensioners (the main audience of these scams) that fee is an even larger amount to handle (average pension is 10.000 or even less).
these "USSR witnesses" are also labelled an extremist organisation by the FSB. some orthodox christian groups say they have characteristics of a cult.

If Wagner lose the civil war they still have gotten word out about how the war is based on lies which might demoralize more of the army, and Putin's poor handling of the situation might (hopefully) have diminished some of the support for him from any eventual fence sitters and, again, more demoralization.
Either way we can hope that Russia will be too preoccupied with this situation to keep up the war in Ukraine for a few months.

I'm going to repeat myself with what I'm gonna list here, but it's a whole mess and I'm trying to sort out my confusion while I'm at it:
1. As said previously, Prigozhin is as good as dead even if he agrees on a beneficial deal. He knows it. His men knows it. Anyone with a brain knows it.
2. Infrastructure is destroyed, people have reportedly died, airforces have been shot down by the Wagner group, Putin and his buds have fled Moscow looking like the rats they are.
3. If any deal was struck, it just shows that Russia's leadership are willing to negotiate with terrorists, which not only greatly damages Putin's whole strongman stick but also shows Russia's buddies that Russia is a) easy pickings if they decide to turn on them (it's pretty much common knowledge that China is salivating at the thought of having them as a vassal state) and b) not to be trusted. The fact that Wagner group is recognized terrorist group everywhere else is a big deal.
4. It also shows that Putin is weak enough to get shaken up by this attempted coup that ended up being nothing. This will be another crack in his image as a strong, reliable leader.
No matter how you twist and turn this, Russia is catching a very embarrassing L on the world stage with this. If this retreat is real we will probably have fanart of Putin in a maid dress serving coffee to Prigozhin circulating the web in a few hours.

No. 1617100
>>1616773Exactly, personally I think they don't even need an excuse for that but if they did they would do some half-assed shit and lie. That was just too messy and chaotic and pretty humiliating for Putin. If it were a setup, it would rather be to sabotage the war and/or his regime.
I believe Prig was following his own pursuits, considering his conflict with russian defence that's been going on for a while now. Just recently he wasn't really happy about the requirement to sign a contract with the ministry of defence. I think he also understands that they might want to get rid of him. Whether he was in collusion with someone or acted on his own, I suspect that retreat wasn't part of the initial plan, and it was quite an idiotic move because it's likely he'll still be killed. He was probably promised amnesty for outing everyone who was willing to collaborate and undermine the authorities. I guess Luka gets something out of it too. Could it have something to do with all the statements by the Belarusian volunteer battalion and opposition? Maybe he counts on Prigozhin and wagnerites to help him stay in power? I suspect he can't really trust his own army. There's no evidence that they might actually turn against him but well, he can still be paranoid as all dictators are. Plus someone told there's someone in his circle ready to betray him, but I have no idea where this info comes from and how reliable it is. This could be too tinfoily, but I'm pretty sure Luka is paranoid about Putin too and maybe hoping that Wagner will kinda ward him off after what's happened? Belarusian border is way closer to Moscow.
Also, once again can't be sure if it's true but I remember just recently a Russian army guy accused wagnerites of giving info about Russian troops positions to Ukrainians, and last month there was something about a leak in the news–Prigozhin supposedly offered info about Russian troops positions in exchange for Ukrainian soldiers' retreat from the area around Bakhmut. I guess it shows he's not loyal to Russian government and especially its army (and yesterday's events only prove it), and I'm not sure if he would collaborate with Ukraine directly but he could possibly collaborate with RDK and Free Russia Legion and/or, most likely, with someone in Russia who wants to get rid of Putin. So there's a little possibility his choice to retreat wasn't idiotic and it actually was part of the plan, it was just meant as a sabotage that uncovers weak spots and propaganda, makes Russians scared of possible war on their territory (so they might stop dreaming about the territories of another country), and irreparably damages Putin's image in the eyes of many Russians and allies. And if RDK was involved, it could give them valuable info for future further invasion. But the first theory seems more plausible to me tbh.

With Prigozhin's antics with forgot about another pressing matter: that is, Budanov (UA chief of intelligence) stated that Zaporizhya atomic station can be blown up. Now, I think Budanov is a hack and an attention whore, but this stuff was hyped up for the last couple of months. Do you think it's true?
FYI, this atomic station has more reactors than Chernobyl one and the radioactive fallout has a chance to be more wide-spread than the previous disaster.
Mainly because of that I think it's a lie since who the fuck would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

OK, actually it's an open secret that USSR was developing bio weapons back in the day and there still lots of labs scattered all across the ex ussr that contain really nasty shit, like very resistant strains of plagues and the like. I don't know if they do any sort of research now, but they exist in Russia and probably there some still operating in Ukraine. But I think most of them just contain their old samples and collect newer ones. I had a prof in my uni who was a member of the academy of sciences (it means he is a top level guy, if you didn't knew). He worked on bio weapons and still researches bio terrorism and bio warfare.

I'm working on studying and eventually moving abroad from USA to EU (Either on student visa or work visa once earned). I'm currently trying to decide between Finland and Estonia. Any advice on which one is better for a mixed race solo female? I'm a very solitude driven person and I'm just tired of constantly fearing for my life in USA with all the guns and murders here so I figured I should just pack it up and get out while the gettins good. Wherever I go, I intend to stay long enough to apply for citizenship if that counts (I know for Estonia that would mean giving up American citizenship which is not the most ideal). Also besides these two, are there any other places nearby that I should consider too? Thanks in advance nonnies
No. 1671533
>>1671475There are proposed changes to laws in Finland that will make it harder to get citizenship, plus you already need to pass a language test. Finnish is notoriously hard and (no offense) I've never seen an American who doesn't have Finnish parents learn it past the basics. Taxes are also very high compared to Estonia.
Estonian visa requirements are very low, they are very open to foreign immigrants (with money) and if you start a business you can get a visa really easily, you don't even have to live in Estonia. Plus if you're American you can really use that to sell yourself and seem more legit, you will automatically be seen as more trustworthy than entrepreneurs who came from Pakistan, Bosnia or Romania. It sounds mean, but I'm just being honest.
No. 1671621
>>1671533The language test is only for citizenship, not for migration, though. Plus Estonian and Finnish are very closely related and would probably be equally difficult to an English speaker, plus Estonia also has a very strict language test for citizenship. In any case, living in either country long term without learning the language is not sustainable and will leave you with scarcer job opportunities and isolated from society.
Estonia is a lot cheaper but also way more conservative, especially when it comes to gender roles ime. Finland has better social security and higher wages but finding a well-paying job without knowing the language is going to be difficult. In any case nona, hope you can find an option that suits for you!

>>1676203One thing that Western communists don't realize is that modern day Eastern European communists are VERY conservative. IDK about Romania, but the late Ukrainian communist party mostly relied on old farts to vote for them, so they obviously covered pretty conservative topics and were pro-religion, anti-gay, anti-vax, what have you. AFAIK Russian communist party is very much the same. I don't know how popular communism is with young Russians (here it's universally hated), but it's mostly Soviet boomer ideology (at least in my country). So a young communist is a rare sight and they mostly copy their older peers (like Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov), so they adapt pretty militaristic, conservative brunch of leftist ideology. Stalinism is by far the most common leftist ideology in the whole of ex-USSR, while neo-marxism and Trotskism is somewhat hated. I think your typical tranny leftist redditor would be pretty dazzled by his Russian peers, cause they are pretty much American boomer conservatives except they worship Stalin and not… uh, Trump? J.

If this man had not drifted away from the Christian tradition (or if he had not been pushed away), and his ability to make strategic decisions and global worldview would have been intertwined with Evangelical morality and the memory of the need for mercy and forgiveness, then Stalin could have been a very good leader - both the Church and the state one," said Archpriest Maxim Kozlov, Chairman of the Committee.>This was his answer to the question whether he would have excluded Iosif Dzhugashvili from the Seminary in Tiflis had he been a lecturer in his time.>According to the priest, God wants to save everyone, and the opportunity to grow to the spiritual level of a Saint is given at birth.>"We are not Calvinists who believe that some are pre-determined before death and others before salvation. Consequently, Stalin had the potential to considerably large growth," said the representative of the ROC.>He noted that the more gifts a person has who has departed from God, the more notorious their collapse is.>"Remember the same Leo Tolstoy - the measure of his talents and the measure of worldview collapse and squalor at the end of his earthly path. This is also the case - if someone could predict in advance who will become Iosif Dzhugashvili, and thus would be able not to lose this man, it would be worthwhile to make efforts of the best teachers of the Russian Church to guide him in the right direction,'' concluded the Chairman of the Education Committee.

The same thing happened in Afghanistan, where modern Jihadism was created just to bleed the Russians.

>>1687778>the treatment of Roma peopleYeah, like leaving them the fuck alone, unlike what other countries historically did.
>In 1545, the Diet of Augsburg declared that "whosoever kills a Gypsy (Romani), will be guilty of no murder".[16] The subsequent massive killing spree which took place across the empire later prompted the government to step in to "forbid the drowning of Romani women and children".[17]>In 1660, the Romani were prohibited from residing in France by King Louis XIV.[19]>In 1710, Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor, issued an edict against the Romani, ordering "that all adult males were to be hanged without trial, whereas women and young males were to be flogged and banished forever." In addition, in the kingdom of Bohemia, Romani men were to have their right ears cut off; in the March of Moravia, the left ear was to be cut off. In other parts of Austria, they would be branded on the back with a branding iron, representing the gallows. These mutilations enabled authorities to identify the individuals as Romani on their second arrest. The edict encouraged local officials to hunt down Romani in their areas by levying a fine of 100 Reichsthaler on those who failed to do so. Anyone who helped Romani was to be punished by doing forced labor for half a year. The result was mass killings of Romani across the Holy Roman Empire. In 1721, Charles VI amended the decree to include the execution of adult female Romani, while children were "to be put in hospitals for education".[20]>The persecution of the Romani people reached a peak during World War II, in the Porajmos (literally, the devouring), a descriptive neologism for the Nazi genocide of Romanis during the Holocaust. Nazi racial ideology put Romani, Jewish, Slavic and Black people at the bottom of the racial scale.[30]>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Romani_sentiment No. 1688302

>>1685191I'm a rather shut-in, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but from what I notice young Russians are all assorted "fuck the authority, embrace freedom" kinds. Some are just edgy teens, some others have post-Soviet trauma and detest everything Soviet-related. The only few young communists I met seemed like they have massive personal issues and traumas that they project onto politics, with desperate attempts at identifying with the group that actually goes against everything they believe; basically, they came to communist ideas as an attempt to criticize and seek refuge from mainstream politics, only to be disappointed and disenchanted with how fucked up, misogynistic, racist, etc your average Russian commie group on VK or elsewhere is. But yeah, other than that, they're pretty rare. Russian communist party is a Soviet boomer ideology as well.
On a related note, western communists and tankies confuse and creep me out. I'm still not sure if they're truly that detached from reality, or they're like troons, intentionally filter out information that doesn't suit their narrative. I told them various stories about my Russian-speaking side of family and hardships they had to face both in post-tsarist Russia/very early RSFSR where more distant ancestors of mine came from and what they have seen in other republics, including Ukraine, and they just didn't care. Asked, "well, it wasn't THAT bad, though? Well, they survived at least?", with an implication that it was all just a misfortune that had nothing to do with communism itself, but bad apples that were later executed anyway. It's surreal. I also stayed around when the war started to see what they will talk about, but it all could be boiled down to "Ukrainians are Nazis, so it's okay to wreck their shit", so I think they're the lost cause.
What also caught my eye is how they count clearly brainwashed opinions as trustable sources. I see Russians as a whole, especially boomers, suffering from some form of collective trauma that pretty much blurs their vision: they were fucked up by Soviet regime, but still blindly support it. Western tankies count this support as "legitimate". Yet another similarity to troons IMO, just like all these clearly distressed "I got a botched frankendick/rothole surgery and have to do billion revisions also I will never orgasm, but no regretzzzzz 10/10 would recommend" are passed as legitimate proofs to support troonism, these "50%/60%/60% -orwhatevernumbertheyput- of old ass post-Soviet citizens that survived to this day miss Stalin" as a genuine indicator that Stalinism is good.

>>1801358You're correct about this. I think the term "intergenerational trauma" would apply here. The environment you grew up in doesn't 100% determine your life trajectory, but it definitely leaves an impact. Unless you have some native intelligence already, it's really difficult to develop a different mindset from your immediate family (sometimes extended family has big influence, too). So, you can, as typical youth, "rebel" against your parents, but what's at the core of your system, what you picked up during the first years of your life, is there to stay forever to varying degrees. Personally I was raised by my grandparents, both of which are mentally ill due to the horrendous conditions they had to live in when they were younger, and they just couldn't cope with raising me. They fucked up my mom's life, and now they're fucking up mine. I am pretty sure I ended up with a personality disorder because of it, although I've yet to see a specialist. The only reason I'm not doing as poorly as my mom was doing at my age is Internet.
This goes very, very deep. As you've said, it's at the soul of the people. Ghetto mentality is well and going, still. And what's more tragic is that when we hear our governments complaining about decreasing birth rates, they're mostly talking about the lower classes. They need the bottom of the barrel workers, their drones, to be produced. So… sludge produces sludge produces sludge produces sludge etc. etc. Children and grandchildren and, in most cases, great-grandchildren of kolkhozniks suffer greatly. Somebody has to break this chain. Usually it's the women, but not every woman has a choice or the resources to be self-sufficient. And even if they do, they might get the Orbán treatment. It's quite hellish.

We never had a tragedy like this and we all felt like our country was very safe… The killer was some pathetic edgelord, wannabe Russian who was inspired by a recent Russian shooting. He also killed his father and probably killed a young father and his 2 months old daughter in a forest a few weeks ago. Police evacuated one building but he went to shoot in another.

Hey Balkan nonnas, everyone enjoying the bombing tonight, uh, I mean firecrackers/fireworks? They're going off every few minutes in my area, and apparently some kid got his fingers blown off a few hours ago a few towns over. Happens every year to some poor neglected retard with fuckass morons for parents. I don't think the cops/government will take this stuff seriously until some kid literally dies. Is this thing common everywhere around here or is this just in my particular crevice of the shithole? Apparently people's pet rabbits are just dropping dead from the noise. I hope everyone is keeping their pets safe and inside in the upcoming weeks.

>>1835264In Czechia there's an increasing amount of people vehemently against fireworks and petards. People are talking about how fireworks hurt animals, make them panic and die by running into cars and walls and stuff, and how it also upsets people with disabilities and now newly also the
victims of the recent shooting, also it puts additional chemicals into the air.
Only people who like the fireworks are uber normies who don't think much and boomers, sadly there's a lot of them. People are trying to push a petard ban and firework regulation laws but there's still a big amount of people continuing the tradition. Still I was surprised when most of my friends shared anti-firework posts this year.
It's crazy when on the Czech side of the internet everyone and their mother is shitting on fireworks being a useless waste of money that's bad for environment and then I browse international stuff and there everyone loves it and brags about their country having the biggest firework show ever, granted it's usually the biggest environmental destroyers like US, Indonesia or Emirates.
I also agree that fireworks are kind of useless and petards are for retards. One firework show per city should be enough and I'd love a petard ban.

>>1847148Visa same as above, problem with flights is that direct are gone, and connecting ones are charging an arm and a leg because they can.

Odds of Russia attacking are very slim, as they're occupied by Ukraine.

>>1695820Answering whole 5 months later, but if you're still interested, my reasons are extremely personal so I can't really go into details, but in short, that's where flow of life brought me (long before the invasion, if you're wondering). This may surprise you, but major part of it is financial reasons, which can be summarized by exiting the "I have five lats to feed myself the whole week" kind of poverty back home and currently building a second house. I'm not sure if I want to go back, initially I wanted to, but the current day events seem like by doing so I will only lose the life I managed to build here. In the long run (think decades from now) I don't exactly plan to settle in, but I'm also not forcing things to come. Who knows what kind of opportunity the world will present me later, maybe I'll move to a third, fourth, fifth country in future? Another reason why I don't want to move out just yet is rather cheesy, but I made some friends/connections here that clearly needed a friend like me, so moving away right now, when they didn't completely heal and didn't find more friends or built a family, feels like I'll leave some truly great people without a support network. Especially not now, when they feel completely defeated by the new laws and society as ssa individuals.

came here to complain about motherland russia. left the shithole when i was 7, only visited once when i was 14, no plans on ever going back.
apart from shit i've ranted about on the parent hate thread, people just were unkind and i didn't feel safe anywhere.
while i was there got wrongly diagnosed with appendicitis, turned out to be hep (no idea how i got it to this day) got my appendix removed nonetheless, leaving huge cartoonesque scar. the hep related hospital stay was creepy as hell, women 7-20s were kept next to the moid's room that had a literal fucking hole on the wall. i recall a ~10-12 yo girl tell me that i "don't need to worry about going to the bathroom at night cause nobody would rape me" (i stopped going and just used my potty)
fast forward, i go on summer vacation there when i'm 14, and get some dental work done since it's cheaper there. big mistake. not only did the anesthesia not work, but the practitioners cracked my (admittedly rotten) molar and proceeded to wrangle the pieces out, while i was screaming. i passed out, and they woke me up with some smelly cloth and proceeded to finish the procedure

>How is it? I really wanted to see what cosplayers show up this year and buy some cute stuffIT WAS AMAZING!!! I had so much fun, I went alone and it was my first con, 10/10 experience
I liked the majority of cosplayers, lots of them had handmade costumes(even if they ordered for example a wig from the internet it wasn’t from plastic crap websites like aliexpress and they personalised it so it can fit their character), so big kudos for their work. I also want to cosplay the next Comic Con, and it’ll be my first time so I’ll research more about this (I know who I want to be though). Some cosplays that caught my attention:
>Reimu from Touhou>Lara Croft>Medic from TF2>Literally someone dressed as a penis, I kek’d>Madoka>Orihime from Bleach>Some women dressed in lolita (classic, sweet and gothic, they all looked gorgeous) >The Loid family (from Spy x Family) (there were more Anyas lol)>Darth Vader and stormtroopers>Half naked guy only in a swimsuit who looked like he was trying to cosplay Luffy from One Piece but without the hat and the red jacket, so epik fail>Some women dressed in traditional japanese garments Most of the cosplayers were great, the downside was that I saw 2 furries in actual fursuits who had qweer pride bullshit all over them and were SO vocal and annoying and attention worish. They pushed me (intentionally) while I was standing in the line to buy some comics. I also saw 3 girls (most likely nonbinary they/thems something) with… canes??? Which was strange because they weren’t cosplaying as anything. What’s up with genderspecials and canes?

> although I wish I bought mangas and figurines, but I just couldn’t find anything that attracted me (nor couldn’t find my waifus and husbandos, reee)kek I can understand this, I wanted to buy some of a romanian Vtubers keychains and stickers, she made some really cute designs and I would've loved to support a local artist.
Hopefully I won't miss it next year, I wanted to attend this year as Makima but maybe next year, who knows.

>>1973759>I remember going a couple of years ago and not having a great experienceAwh I'm sorry to hear that, did something bad happen?
>I remember even the artist alley mostly had people selling fanart prints/merchYeah they were selling either fanart of existing characters(along with pins and stickers and some other merch) and original creations. I liked the artist valley, sadly I didn't get anything though. They were still talented whatsoever
Dar da, data viitoare

>It seemed rather desertedStrange, this con had so many attendants, I thought I'll get suffocated in the crowd kek
>Is the one in september still in my homecountry kek?The con always takes place in Romania, in Bucharest. (it also took place in Iasi and Cluj, but only once in both cities)
>ugh, this kind of shit is still not common in my country and I pray to god they weren't romanian, absolutely disgustingIt's also not common at all here in Romania! It's the first time I saw something like that.
In total I saw 5 furries in fursuits, but the other 3 were normal and didn't have queer pride bullshit on them and weren't obnoxious assholes, so there's that. Sadly those 2 furries were romanian but
>this sounds like entitled american retards tbh, again, disgustingthankfully they're not as common as in bigger cons
were not romanian, they were speaking in english. But yes this shit is not common here as well, there were genderspecials/tifs/enbies at the con but not thaaat many, and the majority weren't vocal (didn't have flags on their backpacks etc), the ones who were vocal about this were those 2 furries with rainbow gloves or something kek
And no TIMs/MtFs (thankfully)
picrel they had a section with bodypillows lmao
