The only thing awkward about those videos is how awful the electronic music is in the US / Vegas clubs and the people nodding and smiling like it’s good. I know edm sucks in the US but at least go to a Carl Cox show or something Leo, I think After Life / Tale of Us does shows in Mexico and LA? Some decent DJs there from Europe but they ain’t playing in one of those table heavy monstrosities in Vegas! End of my pretentious rant.

Russia is kinda hard to fit into one spiral label. I would say it’s a fairly blue country with some sectors of the economy (educated in Moscow) trying to pull the population into orange but the values and the root of survival are largely held together by blue and some power structures are still in red like the police, military, mafia structure, etc.

What I wrote is as old as the hills when it comes to men’s objections towards marriage. PUA guys aren’t anything special to take credit for anything I’m saying here. I am in an LTR but I’m definitely not ready for marriage yet with her. I sometimes feel she puts all the weight on my shoulders about this as well when it’s BOTH of us that need to work towards this. It isn’t just about the guy falling in love and proposing. It requires both sides to mature and get to a place ready for marriage. @Gesundheit2 For me I would want a woman that does her half of the maturing and respects my boundaries. Like I said in the prior paragraph, this whole thing about marriage seems to be thrown onto men more with proposing when BOTH sides need to mature and be ready for marriage. Also, I’m not the type to write off a woman that I’m with that currently might not be ready and sort of immature even though she says she wants to get married soon. I’m willing to give her space and help her change and let her become more mature. I need to change too, I know this. Basically I want from the woman what I want from myself and that is the willingness to be more mature, understanding and splitting responsibilities in a way both sides are satisfied with.

What’s happening now is really bad. Russia is fucked and I’m glad. I never thought it would go this far. Ukrainian civilians killed. This has gotten far worse than anyone could of imagined. I support a full blockade against Russia at this point. All of EU needs to stop Russian energy imports. USA should share in the burden and subsidize it so the weight of it is shared evenly between every country that’s part of the fold.

Deep stage blue. Stage blue is easily brainwashed and clings to past ideals and victories that hinder their further development.

I’ve yet to find a woman who deserves this dream monogamous relationship and my future. I’ll move on and have her claim I wasted her time before I squander my future on her. She’ll find someone else foolish enough to settle for her I guess. Girls are crazy out here with what they actually can bring to the table and what they expect in return. A kid or two and me off the market while she gets to act all proud how she roped me down, no thanks!

It has its place sometimes to call people this when you can tell they aren’t arguing in good faith but the thing is political discourse is so fucked today that all these labels and insults are overused and things always spiral down. There isn’t really even a much of a middle ground these days. There are only echo chambers filled with group think and any deviation leads to being labeled one of the above or some equivalent like libtard, commie, etc.

Let me dust off my crystal ball so I can tell you. Seriously though I have no clue. It’s really up in the air. I’m trying to figure out why dems would go to the polls this upcoming election. Mid term elections tend to have consistent and established voters go, which is usually the elderly and older people, which are hear demographics tends to lean red. Presidential elections tend to attract greater attention and people who usually don’t vote come out so that can often tip over blue. I’m really wondering if blue feels all that compelled to even vote these mid terms. Doesn’t really seem like swing votes even matter that much. I personally don’t even believe there are many if any swing voters in 2022

It’s basically the whole idea of self centered bias on a larger scale that we address on this site and how we are working to see through this. We are working towards greater development that allows us to see a bigger and more nuanced picture and thus obtain a great wisdom. A lot of nationalities sort of hinder their development because of this. Any chest thumping society like this has to work through it before becoming more developed. Israel is a solid blue/orange society. Norway and Sweden for instance which are much more orange/green don’t sniff their own shit like this as much.

Yeah they made a movie about him. He was a brutal despot stage red dictator. Part of the necessary process of development for a country but no place in today’s world.

Is this the guy they made a movie about ? The last king of Scotland ?

The footballer may be rich but idk if that means we can hand wave him being called racist words online. 6 weeks in jail seems a little excessive maybe but I know they are trying to clean up this sport so it may be what’s needed to do it.

Yeah, it’s kinda crazy to see how boomers were able to buy a house in a decent area with a high school education and some easy factory job. It doesn’t keep me up at night but I really do wonder if I’ll ever own a flat and have a huge nest egg when I’m older or will I be renting and on a month by month then. I figure something drastic will have to change cause I don’t see just a whole portion of the population just living in poverty, would be pretty awful. At least in democratic societies I could see some sort of welfare system for people who are old and can’t work anymore. Oh wait, doesn’t the USA have that already and it’s been dismantled?

Destiny was always an edge lord clown and incredibly toxic. The type of guy that got a following for being somewhat entertaining at insulting whoever he is currently playing in a video game. Props to him though for managing to get some cash this way. He’s a unicorn in this way cause basically anyone else like him on the internet is usually a total loser.

If it’s true then that’s pretty funny and shows you the limitations in how autocratic leadership functions.

Fair enough. I just don’t value most athletics. I value physical health and vitality but most organized sports come off kinda dumb and I can’t get into the stupid chest pumping and victory speeches. Sports can go to crap for all I care.

This is kinda ridiculous. West is supporting Ukraine but those are Ukrainian troops dying and fighting. If anything we have learned the will to fight is much more important than material wealth in a war. Russia has way more military equipment than Ukraine and are about to face a stalemate.

trans women athletes do not make much sense competing with biological women but I really don’t care at all about sports and I think sports culture in general is absolutely ridiculous so just for the sake of inclusion I don’t really mind if they do compete with them.

I’m looking for foods to boost sexual energy. I’ll give this a try.

I’ll do more research on Ukrainian culture. Perhaps there are gaps in it and I’ve done an insufficient job understanding history.

I screened out girls because they don’t drink. You gotta find someone who matches your lifestyle. I don’t see the point in going to a bar and not drinking and it’s fine if someone does but I couldn’t really vibe with such a woman that agrees to go to a bar on a date and then drinks tea.

I’ve asked every Russian I’ve ever met if they understand Ukrainian and they all said yes. I’m barely pre intermediate in Russian and understand almost every vocabulary equivalent in Ukrainian if pronounced slowly. You sure you Ukrainian? Selective memory and total fabrication to forge a new identity. I don’t mind it but I’m going to stick to a holistic historical interpretation and yes they are 95% the same

I’m sure you have selectively chosen what to believe to support this new creation, I’m fine with Ukrainians separating and forging a new identity for themselves separate from the precedence of history, but you are just wrong thinking Ukraine as an identity was distinctively looked at as substantially different from Russian up until 30 years ago.

Nah, that’s mostly bullshit and I have studied it. They have their own separate identity in a similar way Texas has a separate identity from New York but they have an overarching identity of being American. Ukraine and Russia are perhaps even more similar, they just pronounce words slightly differently and have their own linguistic jargon. Russian and Ukrainian are basically the same language. I’m against the war and ofc am fine with modern day Ukraine forging their own identity but historically they were one land along with Belarus. The modern identity of being Ukrainian is largely a modern creation that mostly took a back seat to being part of the larger Russian nation and began to become more prominent when geopolitically the people there found it more advantageous to be aligned with the West. They are Slavs just like Russians and Belorussians. One large diaspora with slight differences throughout it. People from all over that region have traveled through and resided all throughout it. Almost everyone in Russia has a relative in Ukraine.

Dude, if anything he’s brought the west closer together than it has been in years. Putin with his actions strengthened Ukrainian identity. Before it was sorta just an offshoot of Russian identity and the language is basically just a different dialect of Russian. Putin believes Ukraine and Russia are one people and he isn’t necessarily wrong here. Belarus, Ukraine and Russia are basically one civilization. Thing is he’s kinda done the opposite of reuniting these pieces together and driven Ukraine to establish itself now as it’s own identity.
