Don’t be sorry, comrade! It’s an interesting perspective, and I agree with you. We don’t usually think of languages that way (well, at least I don’t), but it’s a valid and valuable approach.

This has been the reality for past two years, but now it’s suddenly an issue?

I wouldn’t call Ukrainian a dialect of Russian. They are somewhat mutually intelligible, the degree of this heavily depends on the regional variation of Ukrainian, the further west you go, the less it is. I think there’s enough differences for it to be its own language.

It’s quite beautiful, actually, and it’s a shame that the sound of it makes me want to vomit nowadays.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m glad to hear a comrade feels better!

I really, really hope that these are the signs of them dropping Ukraine project in the coming month.

Good lord, just give up already. How many more people have to die?

We’re physically well, but mentally exhausted. Both of us can’t wait for this war to be over.

Puts my shitposting here in perspective

Sometimes it’s easy to look at the world events and say “yeah, this is horrible, but in the end it’ll lead us to the better world”, and kinda forget about those swept up in these events. I do this too, because the only other option is a complete burnout.

You can’t get out legally if you’re an adult male. You’d have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get smuggled through the border, and it’s still very risky.

Usually it involves a long journey through the wilderness with non-zero chance of being lost, starved, frostbitten (at the colder times of year) having dangerous encounters with wildlife and even more dangerous ones with the customs.

Thank you, comrade… I’m just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I’ll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.

I’m currently obsessing over Signalis again. It’s so good… But so heartbreaking. I just can’t stop hurting myself with it emotionally.

It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I’m so tired… It’s hard to imagine normal life now.

He was a comedian, but not a stand-up comedian.

Well, Ukraine isn’t really Europe, it’s only “practically European”, as we all remember.

Except Bloggs were innocent victims of the propaganda, while this shitstain is profiting off of the Bloggs of this world.

Sadly, libs will hust brush it off, since they’re used to constitution being more of a suggestion.

Still, very based.

Well, he’s nobody outside of that, that’s the issue. He’s just a doomer with bad China takes.

Bringing Syomin on was also a mistake, imo.

I’m currently dating a recovering liberal, so to say. She’s a very smart person, and her disillusionment with liberalism happened even before we met. I openly talk communism to her, and she tends to agree with most of the stuff.

We in eastern Ukrain don’t want it either, tbh…

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
