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...

There's been a lot of shitflinging on my TL concerning this tweet. Honestly, I'm not sure. Can the "not touching the opposite sex" thing can be just a quaint local tradition or is this necessarily associated with misogyny and patriarchy?

I don't think I've ever known a Muslim like that but in my experience orthodox jews like that are more likely to be misogynistic than not...

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 have a friend in Russia who loves watching animal videos and those silly video essays on YouTube and now YouTube is blocked in Russia. I have a spare netbook with Linux Mint and I've been trying to set up an OpenVPN server for her using this guide and I've tried a cracked version of OpenVPN Access Server, but I guess this whole thing is above my pay grade – the client on my phone still won't connect.

What the easiest solution to this situation? Should pull the trigger and install Debian because all those easy setup guides are targeted to Debian? Is there is easier alternative to OpenVPN with an android client?

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.

 

Stumbled on someone decrying TikTok "multiplicity kids" on twitter, but not sure how I feel about this thing and there's no wikipedia article which is usually the limit of my research.

On one hand DID and OSDD are real things, though some people say it's a culture specific disorder.

On the other kids having calling themselves "we", claiming to be piloted by Harry Potter characters, real-life serial killer and Minecraft YouTubers seems to silly to not be just good clean fun.

On the third hand is you told someone thirty years ago about gender spectrum, genderfluidity, xenogenders, bi lesbians, autism spectrum, they'll probably think you're insane. Maybe there is a subclinical version of DID, like Asperger's to autism, so to speak? I dunno...

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.
