There are guys whose parents have spoiled them, but impressed it upon them that they are not spoiled. Behaving like that.
There are also ones like me, whose parents … not neglected them, rather didn’t understand shit about parenting and didn’t really try and were very arrogant, but did that with enough effort to instill the feeling of being spoiled and the shame for it indefinitely.
Nose blindness is terrible when you’re autistic. Or when you just had a vacation with no plans and just spent it all inside killing time being depressed.
I think that other guy was joking and the problem was, I dunno, fearing to stumble when standing up.
How does being so particular in body wash and demanding for accommodations from another guy become compatible with manliness? Especially the latter.
It’s also a bit funny to read “I ain’t no bitch” with caps and punctuation and all that, as if intentionally spelled out. Produces the impression opposite of what they were trying to make.
I think all those movies and series, say, with Jon Snow not cutting his hair (shaving and doing a haircut are not very technologically demanding processes, and starting with Iron Age they were norm in most places), looking greased in shit and wearing an animal skin, and talking in that perpetually hysterical “roaring/whining” voice, and similar portrayals of “real man” as what would be called “gay sex symbol” 50 years ago, have given sprouts.
EL 7 is EL 7. But that time is over
Is that rural India or something?..
Baltics and Finland just chose differently, Finns to fight and Baltics to give in.
Different situations, Finland had lots of sympathies from both future western Allies and the fascist nations, and a better military.
About Czechoslovakia - I meant the Nazi approach to negotiations, like calling bombardment of a city in the middle of a diplomatic meeting. Compared to that USSR was almost civilized. Nazis were much like ISIS (similar ideology to Salafism too).
So if you gain anything depends on whether you believe USSR had further ambitions in Finland or not.
It definitely had, but Stalin with his “socialism in one particular country” already lowered the bar on that a bit. Still till his death USSR would be preparing for global thermonuclear war for world dominance and such.
OK, I think we agree on this. My initial post was about the stereotype which ignores the first and the third of the wars between USSR and Finland, leaving only the second, which was, yes, an aggression against Finland.
Building a few more bunkers is easier than moving a city, especially in the 30s.
But to help your argument, there were plenty of propaganda pieces and Finnish communist organizations supported by the USSR before the war. So probably there were intentions of biting off more than expressed.
And to help mine (sort of, it’s an appellation to authority), I think I’ve read many notable figures, even Mannerheim himself, considered the proposed deal reasonable.
Comparing this to Czechoslovakia, USSR still took exactly what it initially demanded, and I don’t remember Nazis offering anyone anything in exchange. And comparing this to Baltics - there it was a different scheme, where IIRC their governments (small cozy authoritarian ones, which is very funny) asked USSR for protection (because Nazis were scarier), Soviet troops entered those countries and suddenly there were Soviet state institutions in place and plebiscites.
That’s true, except people from Baltic countries, all of the Eastern Block, and notably Finns love the narrative of bad bad barbaric Russia that always oppressed them, and bad bad totalitarian USSR that was “worse than Nazis”.
Just recently certain Linus Torvalds expressed a interesting sentiment about being a Finn and knowing something about “Russian aggression”, well, Soviet-Finnish conflicts didn’t start with the Winter war, and the Winter war was preceded by a few suggestions ending in an ultimatum. By those suggestions Finland would receive far greater amounts of territory (in the areas it claimed before at that) than the stripe of land and a few small islands in artillery range of Leningrad it would be giving away. That’s rather soft if you consider the character of the preceding Soviet-Finnish war. And Finland’s participation in the blockade of Leningrad while allied with, well, Nazis makes the “worse than Nazis” argument more easily understandable and still wrong.
The Soviet Union just after the war supported the so-called “Socialist Imperial Party” in Western Germany, until it was banned there. That party, as you might have guessed, was basically rebranded Nazis.
Except in every step things can develop the ways you haven’t thought about.
And courtroom shows are kinda common enough in movies and even in reality. People will have strong feelings, but this doesn’t seem a major thing for many.
So - too much copium. I hope you are right and I am wrong, of course.
Every piece of software is insecure, because people make errors and mistakes.
When a law of nature prevents us from doing what we’d want, the right decision is to adapt our approaches.
That would return us back to modularity, Unix philosophy and all such stuff.
Yes, I think Xorg wouldn’t survive the filter, but it wouldn’t be the only thing.
Of what I’ve read of Minitel, it was cool, but the kind of thing that simply requires government to mandate it. And also subsidies.

I understand everything, but not the older German “s” instead of usual English one. And that use of “u” is awful. Especially since it’s inconsistent. Why are you doing this?
Right, for him when Trump or Harris wins, the election is fair and transparent.
I’m sorry for the conspiracy tone, but they do keep playing you for fools.
OOXML is Microsoft’s proprietary format it itself doesn’t implement consistently.
Either you meant OpenDocument or you meant that you want a magic wand.
Linux is still mostly US-dependent as a project.
It’s different between countries, I suppose.
Also people want different things. For me customizable desktops (say, FVWM however I want to script it) are important, because I easily get distracted and overloaded. I also can’t ignore aesthetics, and in my subjective taste Apple style is concentrated bad taste combined with arrogance. Also there’s something in their UI design making me feel nausea and get tired faster. I don’t know what it is.
Other people want something else.
It comes from subjective experience in a country where Apple is traditionally not very popular.
I also can’t separate their disgusting advertising from their products, subjective again.
You didn’t, somebody else did. Or maybe you didn’t know it. Or maybe you have such a metabolism. Whatever.
There is a huge space called depression, in some parts of it people can shower, in some other parts of it people can’t leave the bed.
“Masking” and “natural” kinda contradict each other.
