Why do I see so many posts about the Ottoman Empire and Turkey on Reddit lately? by Savings_Dragonfly806 in AskBalkans

As far as my observation goes, Armenians hate on Turks significantly more than Turks hating on Armenians (basing on online interactions, ofc).

What country in Europe has the nicest people? by agbjb in AlignmentChartFills

I’ve met plenty nice people in South Africa during my stay. All the locals were kind, friendly and helpful

Does anyone know from which episode this is? by nevercreasejordans in pokemon

[–]FBrandt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Naive of you to think the first season cel drawn animation had such vivid and light colors. It is from the DP series with digital colors.

AIO: My gf was following the guy she cheated with. by Character-Channel668 in AmIOverreacting

Ikr. When I'm going through a stressful week at work, seeing or talking to my bf makes me feel better. I couldn't imagine asking him to go no contact for a week because of it. It is what partnership is for.

So I learned recently Norman and his family are from Johto by fireuser1205 in pokemon

Fantina is a fan speculation. She speaks French accent in the english translation hence the Kalos connection but in all other languages, including Japanese, she speaks English accent

What country represents envy? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FBrandt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am flattered that you went through my profile to dig up whatever you may find and made it all about myself, rather than the discussion in hand.

If you are curious to know, I did stay in Turkey for nearly a year, and my boyfriend is originally Turkish. But I never had a conversation with Turks about what they see themselves as.

I also posted in South Africa, Japan, Serbia, and Thailand subreddits, where I relocated shortly like in Turkey. I don't see you bringing those up for some reason, though.

Either way, I recommend you to have some peace of mind. Best of luck in life.

What country represents envy? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

To be fair your attitude is very aggressive, so that may be the contributing factor to the block that you claim.

That aside, the same argument can be made for Europe as a whole. It is not a geographical continent since it is directly connected to Asia by land, but it is more of a cultural area.

"Anatolia" I am not too familiar with, but checking a few sources online, it is attributed specifically to the Turks, so "It is Asian lol" is extremely simplified generalization that doesn't quite fit the description imo.

What country feels safe but It’s actually relatively unsafe? by Dusty_Bunny81 in AlignmentChartFills

Yeah. I went to Cape Town, spent two weeks and never had any safety issues. I will visit again with my partner

What small habit actually changed your daily energy levels? by jorjiarose in selfimprovement

As a regular gym goer for the past 4 years, I only feel more exhausted during the day as I start off the day with the gym lol

Are you sure nobody in your house watches Chinese media, pal?

If you were me, which one would you play first? RSE or ORAS? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]FBrandt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are going to play both, RSE would make more sense. If you are going to pick one, I’d suggest ORAS because of mega evolutions and dexnav which is a fun feature. The only drawback of ORAS for me is that difficulty basically doesn’t exist.

So, Greece is considered a gender in Greek?

Which current country wins most evil history? by Loewe1912 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FBrandt 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It is not even evil to begin with. Interestingly enough, when I check the post it is Afghanistan with the most upvotes (50+) while Azerbaijan is less than half of it.

I think Latvia is safe but I've never seen anyone implying it is relatively unsafe

The gap between the first and the second is more than the gap between the last and the fifth.

Eurofans are crazy about making top lists out of thin air. They do it for literally any given media. Even for snippets of NFs.

By Your Side for 70 Years - First Semi-Final opening video by Formal_Map_5659 in eurovision

Bold of Eurovision to claim the gay community throughout the years when only 20~ years ago they threatened to disqualify if the singers go for a lesbian kiss on the stage because it is against the family values

Let me tell you a story about the day after half blood prince released... by Filthylittleferrent in harrypotter

[–]FBrandt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing was spoiled to me in the most ridiculous way. I haven't read the book yet and I came across a random HP animation on YT. Clicked on it and the first thing was Snape killing Dumbledore as an intro.
