How sweet. He's already practicing for russian folk dance.

This is a similar argument I make when asking people if they truly believe in god and the religion they do or if it was just indoctrination due to who they were born to. A lot don’t like the cognitive dissonance of thinking about what would have happened if they were born in India

I like to remind them about the devout girl that was kept in a basement and sexually abused by her father. Whatever she did to "deserve it", they certainly did worse, so they should go through the same. But I personally refuse to worship such a god.

Nationalities are just arbitrary labels that you had no power over deciding

The Russians I know are proud of being Russian. They have an interesting history with many (non war related) achievements. The war with Ukraine doesn’t define the Russian people. Also, (working class) Russian people are very welcoming to guests and selfless from my experience.

Yes, true.

I also know another side to Russia culture, though. The Russians I know call working people the plebs, homeless people garbage, and feel the need to express that anyone in the LGBT scale should be murdered.

These are not just a few random people, mind you, these are Russians from different walks of life I had the misfortune of meeting. I've met many Russians, and all of them have this deep seated hatred against anyone and anything that isn't pure Russian.

Yes, I know that not all Russians are like this, but my point is that way too many Russians are, and are quite happily supporting all the shit that Putin is doing right now.

Why is the Canadian baby so unhappy? Shouldn't they be happy? Or at least saying "sorry!"?

Housing prices. They know they'll never be able to afford a home, even with help from their middle class parents.

Because they know the top of their head is about to become detached at the mouth

I'm not your buddy, guy.

It's a badge of honour, much like Americans getting their first gun. The head detaching process is, surprisingly, painless, but leads to decades of bragging about free healthcare and complaining about Newfies (you know we love you 🧡)

US bullshit aside, Canada has been struggling for a while. Cost of living is out of control, many folks are struggling. Housing prices are completely unmoored from reality, especially in major cities.

It’s bad comparing to pre-covid, but not that bad…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

I too would not want to be neighbouring US at the moment

Look, baby Trump. They should've stamp him harder

Shouldn't the French Baby have a little white flag?

I kid! I kid!
