So true, put this on a tea cup!
A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn’t even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me
Yes, I guess that’s up to a debate which one is better (or none of them).
I’d say if we imagine housing as a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 means you’re homeless and 100 means you’re living in a mansion
Which approach is better? I guess from “progress” point of view the US system is better. Theoretically if you’re skilled and hard working, you can get above average and live better life. That’s actually the reason why so many skilled and talented people fled the soviet union - in the west there was no “ceiling” for you. On the other hand, from humanity point of view though, the soviet system sounds much better - country caring about every single one of its citizens to have a place to live.
But I’d argue that maybe the 3rd way is best. Because well both Soviets and US are extremes. Soviets were … well … soviets. It’s like “left” on steroids. Also it failed - I mean if it was such a paradise on earth, why were so many people fleeing it.
But US is also an extreme - you’re like a capitalist lunapark. Even other countries from west are often horrified how you take care of people (or rather not care)
But there is some middle ground between these - you can have a system with focus on social issues but also not go crazy f.e. some scandinaviam countries
I add that “cannot be evicted” is a double edge sword here. Since appartments were free and were assigned more or less random (cough, cough, corruption), very often you got one or two … let’s say “interresting” neighbours
Edit: well some interresting facts from my mom who’s sitting next to me - there were quite some downsides
Eh, you know what? I like it. Go weird
Ahhh, you were faster than my update :D I added some source info into the comment
Sure but … it can’t beat the ‘Bollywood’, am I right? /s
When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:
This was absolutely unexpected and I’m shocked aswell. I’m certain her supporters will be deeply touched by this and will now turn their backs on her
I know what you mean and in a way it’s almost insulting. Like there are nations who trully love certain sports and they take it as part of their national pride … and then there is US. Where you wonder “why are you guys even here? Why are you taking fun from people who enjoy this game? What do you even take from this?”
Where I live we have the same situation with ice hockey - our entire nation basically stops for IIHF world hockey championship, everyone watches it and we celebrate every win. And then there is US. Which regularly wins some medal and you have a feeling that no one in the US even notices.
Nice but you should’ve used a different movie. I mean the Gladiator premiere was like yesterday, must have been few years ago max, am I right?
Yes where I live, we use cm usually. Also height is almost always measured without shoes
Bad english classes apparently :(
But can be fixed! Done
I see it’s from 2021, I’m surprised this isn’t used as a meme template (or at least I haven’t seen it)
I was recently thinking - is this like a real thing? Or is it more like a joke since cucumber looks the way it looks?
I’m with you but I get it that sometimes it’s convenient. My wife likes what we call “cup recipes” in baking where everything is measured in cups/glasses (this was a new thing couple of years ago where I live). It’s very fast and convenient.
But yes, it gets out of hand. I mean “a cup of celery”? … How? Why?
9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?
Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like … 30€? And I was able to do it myself.
Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Went to the pizzeria,
Came back with gonorrhea.
Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:
“We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we’ve had enough of it and that’s it”
I couldn’t make this shit up even if I tried …
