Interesting observation but it doesn't really make sense to me? What do they miss about the USSR because the Baltic states were treated really badly within the USSR which is why you will notice how committed they are to the EU and how quickly all three countries joined the EU after the collapse of the USSR. Most people were not automatically wealthy in the Baltic states during the Cold War Lived experience matters in many ways so this type of opinion from people living in a particular country is always pertinent

No you right, it is kind of a cliché ....but lets be honest we are so spoilt by abundance when it comes to themes and narratives its going to be hard to create any genre or new series that most of us wont recognize in some way or another But for me I find I still enjoy certain genres and watch any TV series that are follow those themes

That is very clever and humorous analogy about political rhetoric and sauce ...well played

Shady, we discussed this and you agreed. You dont need an electrician as you can rely on the numerous opinions of people on this forum to help you fix all your electrical problems ...dont waste money when it can be spent on things like food and alcohol

Gorthfuscious you not taking this subject very seriously and it is a very serious subject. For example its not so much the left or right wing but the type of sauce that matters. It must be a blue cheese sauce and preferably a Roquefort blue cheese sauce .....that is the ideal blue cheese sauce and should be mandatory with all wings

Try this article, you can unlink the synchronization of folders and even disable it completely.

What happened, how did OneDrive impact your laptop?

And I am very angry and upset that the Romans arrived in Britain in 43 AD and colonized my ancestors who use to have their own culture and religions. We all know about the culture of the Celts and their religious representatives the Druids I demand redress and the Italians to admit they colonized my ancestors !!!!

Bah, 156 years is nothing. Try 400 years where in our SA narrative some activists ( and it is a small number )and political commentators believe all white people are responsible for the arrival of the original colonialists and what transpired ...irrespective of the actual time period your ancestors arrived in SA or whether they were the original Dutch settlers You Americans have at least another 500 years of being responsible for all the historical injustices of the past ....get comfortable GD, its a long and inaccurate account of history

Comrade I get confused with all this SJ and political nomenclature, what would you call someone who believes in Communism but lives in a country like the USA? Are they left or far left or extreme left ?

Good question and I have an answer, if white people were involved then you still bring it up but if other races were involved then its okay to be conquered and colonized Simple really

No dont get confused, its not a conservative ideology. Its a deeply flawed and failed ideology But we refer to it as " old school" because nowadays you have people claiming to believe and support Communism\socialism but they dont really know what the original implementation of Communism was about and why it failed. Hence the term " old school " refers to that type of Communism and not modern day discussions of where it should be implemented

I would also take AZ if it was available, the small number of negative stories you hear about would not deter me from taking AZ as its a good vaccine that millions of people have successfully taken with no negative impact Im not yet convinced about the efficacy of the Sinofarm vaccines, I would use them if nothing else was available but when only 170 million Chinese people have been vaccinated by their own vaccines it worries me https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/china-approves-sinopharm-s-new-coronavirus-vaccine-for-clinical-trials-121041100291_1.html Sarex dont allow Serbia to become a guinea pig for untested Chinese vaccines....you know who to blame if you suddenly grow a third eye

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior_Nun_(TV_series) I was thinking about series I have watched that have faith related characters with superpowers and Warrior Nun comes to mind, I enjoyed it

Very clever and funny

The reality of the end of Afghan War and how the Taliban came to power is a different debate but yes a pertinent debate to have But Afghanistan under the Soviets or under the Taliban is not much different. Both were failed and flawed Dictatorships and neither system of government was preferable and neither system of government is a sustainable choice for citizens of any country

Thats a good idea Shady, why not a series about people with superhero powers that comes from faith related sources ? I believe their would be an appetite for it but who would be the bad guys in this narrative ? Would it be supernatural foes or the global war on extremist groups ?

Thats not even remotely accurate, Comrade please do some research around history before making these types of points. I have been told the " woke " generation knows how to use the Internet and SM when it comes to other generalizations and reasons for perceived inequality and historical injustice....you just need to learn how to use the Internet for the correct understanding of history and events so that you understand why things are the way they are nowadays Afghanistan was never a " chilled, socialist " country. It was invaded by the USSR in 1979 and the apart from a puppet Soviet Afghan government the majority of Afghans never wanted to be part of the USSR and fought a brutal war against the Soviets The CIA strategically intervened to help the Mujahideen as was normal in the proxy war nature of the Cold War So we should generally always support this type of Western intervention because it all contributed towards the collapse of the USSR....lets be honest who wants to live in country controlled by old school Communism ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet–Afghan_War

Its funny you asked that because I asked my dad the same question, despite his deteriorating mental condition he still remembers and can recognize plants and trees and knows their names most of the time That part of the hike was in the forest area and it was beautiful and utterly serene. Those are Pine trees but a type of European Pine. I didnt even know their were so many different types of Pine trees. Good tree knowledge Gorthfuscious https://conifersociety.org/conifers/articles/10-types-of-pine-trees-that-everyone-should-know/

Nice review, thanks for the detail but you failed on marketing 101....no sex scenes means no Romance which means its not a day 1 purchase for me

No I wouldnt be surprised, I know he has supporters. But I am not sure how this means Putin allows Democratic elections? I am sure you are familiar with his latest changes to the Russian Constitution so he can stay in power for another 12 years...so basically another " leader for life " pretending to claim he governs by the " will of the people " ....please its a joke and travesty of the principles of Democracy https://news.yahoo.com/putin-signs-law-allowing-him-140531192.html

Well those are your words with the suggestion that Navalny is the savior of Democracy and how he is the assumed " Western " replacement for Putin The support for Navalny is more about Putins numerous attempts to undermine and eliminate any opposition to his autocratic rule and the principle of what defines a free and fair environment where opposition leaders of political parties are allowed to campaign without being arrested or poisoned So the support you see for him is because their is no real Democracy in Russia and what happened to Navalny represents this symbolically. But its far from him being seen automatically as the next Russian PM or president. That can only be decided by the Russian people in a transparent election but since Putin does not allow this so we have no idea what the real aspirations of the Russian people are

I went to my sisters new house for an absolutely delicious Moroccan lamb barbeque and some of us went for a walk in a nature reserve about 5 minutes drive from her place. Really great weather and a great day to be outside...the lockdown has reminded me how much I miss these types of events

I loved the Dead Space series, that first one was the scariest game I have ever played...the way the aliens make noises and try to creep up on you created an amazing psychological gaming experience I also use to enjoy hunting for ammo and resources and the unfolding narrative cant be ignored because its so interesting I dont remember ever having enough ammo
