>I don’t pronounce dates in my mind.
what the fuck

>>22859
I pronounced the year in English. When reading Swedish I still read numbers and dates in English, but I am trying to better myself.

Who even decided that it's "Dohsch" for Dogecoin and the like?
Now with Melon running rampant this needle under my fingernail flares up more often again and with his department it makes even less sense, as it is an acronym where you want to speak each letter anyway.
From when I first heard about Dogecoin until many years later when I saw some shitty TikTok about it, I had the impression that it was spoken Doge, just like again or dog which serves as the base.
With the coin referencing Shiba Inus it makes even less sense, as first Shiba Inu isn't written "Giba Inu" and secondly, katakanaization of dog would be doggu, not dosho.

It's not easy to prevail as superior cat person in a world inhabited by 50% irrational dog people.

"Misinformation poses a significant concern, promoting false beliefs and eroding trust in media. People differ in their susceptibility to believe and to share misinformation. In this article, we reviewed recent research on relationships between personality traits and belief in and sharing of misinformation. Findings show that more extroverted and less conscientious and agreeable people tend to be more susceptible to believing in and sharing misinformation. Additionally, the Dark Triad personality traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism tend to be positively associated with sharing of misinformation, and narcissism and psychopathy are associated with greater belief in misinformation. Understanding these individual differences can inform interventions to reduce the effects of misinformation."

"An estimated 37% of women and 9% of men report receiving anal sex across their lifespan (Herbenick et al., 2015). Despite this, only 24% of men and 14% of women report anal sex as appealing, and 72% of women and 15% of men report pain during anal sex (Herbenick et al., 2015). Anal sex carries health risks such as heightened risk of STD transmission, abrasions, fissures, bleeding and is associated with higher rates of faecal incontinence (Hutton et al., 2013; Markland et al., 2016). Rough sex, which can include whipping and spanking, bondage, hair pulling, verbal aggression or degradation and choking, is also prevalent, rated as appealing by approximately 40% of men and women (Herbenick et al., 2017). Rough sex acts are considered gendered, where women are predominantly the target of rough sex acts and men take a dominant role. For example, in a nationally representative US sample (N = 2,227, 51.73% female), one-fifth of women reported having been choked during sexual activity (Herbenick et al., 2023). Some research has linked the prevalence of rough sex to exposure to violent or aggressive sexual acts in pornography (Herbenick et al., 2021, 2023; Vogels & O'Sullivan, 2019; Wright et al., 2022)."

That was included by accident. I note for my own personal reference whether any particular study currently is indexed by MedLine (yes or no).

An updated Anorectal Trends, Risks, and Anatomy compilation is now available with several minor changes, the 2025/03/13 edition:

>The city feels historical and alive unlike any place that I've visited in Russia
What about Yalta? Is Yalta not Russian?

>>15888
(replying to old post)
Reminds me of when I was in (at?) an ethnographic museum. Another visitor, a child, was looking at Mongolian Mongols in Mongolia, with their yaks and gers, in a room about them and their folk Buddhist items and nothing else. Child exclaims something like "Indians!" or "Buffaloes!"
Child's parents didn't say anything. I wonder if they just didn't bother to correct the child, or didn't have the faintest idea about the exhibits themselves.

>>22261
Perhaps they just haven't visited Yalta yet. But I think a key difference is that Tbilisi is still inhabited mostly by a people that has always been there (even if it has lost diversity), whereas Yalta and all of Crimea is mostly inhabited by culturally foreign newcomers and probably feels fake and sterile after all the disruptions, deportations and genocides of the last centuries.

>>22270
still mad about that conference?
Not him, but Crimea is overpriced because for people with clearance level (many of military officers, FSB, MIC workers) it's the only possible choice as they can't leave the country until the clearance expires. Or because they have state-subsidized vacations there like gf's parents. They love Yalta and want to move there when their youngest child goes to college.

Georgia is overpriced too, but for another reason. Because people who left Russia in 2022 can't get into better country. So it's a pretty curious place, having vegan queer cafes and horizontal safe spaces. Like Tangier was for beatniks.

Good options for ordinary Russian (poorfag without Schengen visa) are Thailand and Turkey.

This poem conveys the atmosphere of the place:

mom took me to crimea

...mom took me to crimea
against my will
without my consent
to break me
to force
to love putin
to love this country
to stop thinking about freedom
about truth
about conscience
to stop thinking

Who else?

I haven't stopped smiling since president Trump took office! He's sticking it to the libs 24/7 exposing their corruption! DOE has been destroyed! I love it! Hope him and Elon ignore all the liberal judges trying to stop them and earmark them for later!

>>22291
I wonder if the dems will try to mobilize the niggers for their anti-musk pro-corporation pro-big-government protests. They are like teenagers who will not clean their room. You tell them once, you tell them twice, but they didn't do it. Then, you do it yourself and they throw a hissy fit, and that's when you know they have something in there they are not supposed to have like alcohol or dirty magazines. Sometimes, they break stuff. That is when you have to be extra tough.

When the libs start openly rioting, the national guard must come out. Arrests have to be made, and those arrested need to be imprisoned! All the rioters can be locked up or shot! The libs need to be neutralized before America can be great again!

There's a measles outbreak in Texas. Why now and why in Texas, I wonder?

The libs are foaming because DOGE is draining the swamp. Maybe they put the measles in the drinking water, to punish Texas for voting pro-America?

Maybe they did it to pressure people into having their children vaccinated?

Maybe it is both?

Interesting, thanks.
>America does not have a good track record when it comes to integration
I don't know if I've been thinking of it as worse than any random society of the human race.

I want to be an American so much it's unreal.

Imagine being able to save via 401k, having a highly paid white collar jerb at some dam power station somewhere in the LCOL-Midwest and bam, you're able to retire anywhere in the world at 40 with 2-3 million in the bank.
The example is just so specific because I saw some documentary about such a power plant and the work happening there some time ago.

And if you dislike your job or location fuck it, move across the whole country somewhere between both coasts.
This borderline nomadic flexibility that Americans have is something great.

Just remembered that, while it doesn't alleviate the sprawl, perhaps the advent of remote work and remote education allows for generation of more wealth at the same amount of commuting traffic if not less. It enables some white people to work from the safety of their burbs, and possibly some city dwellers to work from the relative safety of their homes at any time of the day. It's not specifically American though, and I wonder how much of an impact it has on a wider scale. I know many people are glad to have the option, for example because they can look after their baby while remotely doing something that would've otherwise been out of reach. For myself, I had mostly just considered how I wouldn't have to endure the occasional bad breath of some customers and fellow mass transit commuters, not to mention infections.

Starting over somewhere else is every American's Plan B.

That sounds like a misunderstanding. Renaming the image to have a different file extension is not the same thing as converting the image to a different format.
If I misread that you may ignore this post; and sorry for wasting your time in that case.

That was just the goofy national curriculum. Now that I've achieved the necessary grade, I can freely shit on it.
None of the silly Soviet curriculum even came up. Quite sad.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist…The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded"
We are remembered that one Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke about the perils of unchecked military-industrial expansionism, but the keepers of the historical record tend to omit the warning about scholar's being coopted by the warlord faction.
