I’ve seen you post good takes

that actually made me blush, you're too kind!

I am super good at missing out the context before I reply to things in my inbox, didn't mean to be curt with you

until next time 🫡

hilariously they took a temp ban from /c/Linux, but just scrolling a little further they also just got a perm ban from NCD for " you don't fit in here" because they mentioned the historical (and ongoing) American mistreatment of their indigenous population in a different thread

I guess just being russiophobic isn't enough to fit in with those types

I'm glad we agree

I'll make sure to file this away the next time I feel like bringing up the US's active participation in genocide any time the US is the subject of conversation.

they have managed to set a trend for filling the night sky with shitty little low orbit satellites chewing up the ozone layer

What’s this Bread Day about?

I had no idea either, its new after my time at least

The holiday was established in 2006 on the initiative of the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs. And the choice of date is due to the fact that on October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was created, which dealt with the problems of developing agriculture and its production. Incidentally, another holiday is also timed to coincide with this event - World Food Day.

This article is a little weirdly structured, like yeah the traditional values indoctrination is cringe, they say that they saw this in a bunch of schools October 14-21 and that it was mostly non-military stuff

However, most of the reports reviewed by 7x7 focused on topics unrelated to politics or the war. Lessons were also held in connection with Father’s Day and Bread Day, and several kindergartens discussed what it means to be an adult.

Part of the reason theyre having soldiers in and related activities around 10/22 is that its white crane day, which is a day when WW2 fallen get remembered, and part of the reason for the veteran reading poems is because the holiday itself is named after a poem.

they only mention in the article that it was a poem about the SMO, but on the linked VK post they say that it was poems that he had written about exploits of people in the great patriotic war, and the SMO. the actually noteworthy thing for Western readers I think is the way that they're being tied together, for a lot of Russians the framing that one is a continuation of the other lands.

Just based off how comfortable Americans are, no.
