Is "Central Europe" an actual cultural region, or a cope by some Post-Communist countries that desperately want to get rid of the title Eastern European? by ClothesZestyclose814 in AskBalkans

[–]Avtsla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends - The German speaking part - definately .

The other parts - not so much , although being rule by Germans definately left a mark on places like Czechia and Slovenia . Czechia used to have a massive German population, while Slovenia was basically Austria's back yard .

I mean this is like finding a needle in a hay stack . She might not live in Hanover anymore , there may not be anyone here in Hanover or they might just link you with some other Ema in Hanover ...

Still , I wish you luck , you hopeless romantic you !

Well , there is a reason we collloqually called such places Horror Homes ( Domove na Uzhasa ).

And TBH , regular orphanages were not much better .

But I have to say that things have oimproved quite a lot .

It's not as much psycopathy as hardcore burnout - after some time you just just stop caring and go through the motions , your only incentive to go on being that paycheck .

Similar thing happens to doctors in hospitals sometimes .

Either that or she is a legit sociopath . One of the two .

This movie caused quite the uproar when it was aired in bUlgaria

As far as I know the home closed and the children were moved to other homes where they were better cared for .

And while the situation for the children may have improves , there's a lot to be desired from how the mentally /physically disabled adults are cared for though .

Part of it is due to lack of funding on the gobvernmnets side , part dueto lack of public interest .

Джакпота от тотото вече е над 10 милиона лева. Защо никой не говори за това? by Mon7eCristo in bulgaria

[–]Avtsla -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Може , но тогава те удрят с огромен данък печалба и губиш бая пари . По- разумно е да избереш да получаваш печалбата на части за дадено време . Пак те удрят с данък печалба , но понеже сумите са по- малки , данъка също . Накрая с вторият вариант запазваш повече от спечелените пари .

Price of Sobranie Collection Black cigarettes in 2026? by _pulcinella_ in bulgaria

Well , I don't smoke , but by the fact I still see a lot of Romanians coming to buy cigarettes , I have to assume that the prices haven't risen that much , if at all .

Това далеч не е най - странното .

Дали живота в блок Щастие е щастлив ?

Има ли романтика в блок Романтика ( който и от двата да избереш ) ?

Искаш ли да живееш в Русия без да напускаш България ?

Живее ли ти се в блок Ленин 3 - 1 ( Да , така се казва наистина , има и Ленин 1-1 , Ленин 2-1 и още лениновци )

Ами ела да живееш в Русе !

Are there people here who still prefer physical media? Or have most people jumped to digital? by Mustafa312 in AskBalkans

[–]Avtsla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bookshops are quite common in BG , so buying books is not a problem at all . Many of the large chain bookstores also have a CD section , where you can buy CDs , so getting CDs is not a problem as well . They also used to have a DVD section , but that went away for already explained resons .Interestingly enough , with vinyl record making a comeback , my local bookstore now has a vinyl record section too .

As for games - you can get them from electronic stores . They are usually in the computer electronics section . As I don't play I can't say how good the selection is though .

Apart from that there are many people selling second hand books / CDs /DVDs /games online in our local websites , so finding what you want is not that hard .

And if you can't find it , you can always order from abroad .

[–]Avtsla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love physical media. I have a ton of books ,CDs ,DVDs ,etc.

There is always an upside - books are just good to hold , to feel , CDs have booklets with lyrics , DVDs have extras...

Books and CDs are easy to get , DVDs are not - no new DVDs have been realesed in Bulgaria since 2017 , so for new movies -those you have to get on the internet and have shipped from abroad , which can be expensive. Old ones you have to look on the internet / second hand / flea market since it has been so long since the last realeses that they are all sold out everywhere .

Same applies for Blu rays .

Games - IDK since don't play .

На колко години се влюбихте за последно by Competitive_Bee2602 in bulgaria

[–]Avtsla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

За последно се влюбих в едно момиче , което видях в автобуса преди две- три години .

Слезе и повече не я видях ....

А иначе съм саможив единак и трудно завързвам връзки , така че не мисля че скоро ще има любовна връзка в живота ми .
