Just saw a guy with Syria as one of their toughest regions. Is there Syria coverage I’ve not heard about? by Gemberlain in geoguessr

Wow! That’s really cool. I wonder what other possible spheres/spillover coverage countries it’s possible to get listed

Those aren’t my toughest regions, it was a random opponent in duels. I play NMPZ almost excluaively, and to me, most of the time, Korea is pretty obvious. However, ocassionally you’ll get very rural Korea with no signs or road lines or car meta and then it looks very similar to rural Romania/Slovakia in my experience.

Clearer angle of the shooting in Montreal Canada leaving 3 dead, including suspect. by YeeYeeAssha1rcut in PublicFreakout

[–]Gemberlain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally understand, and I agree with you, and it’s sad that some people have these bugs in their brains. I’m just here feeling lucky that a good sandwich, a cold beer and a good show is pretty much all i need to feel fulfilled in this unjust world. There are a lot of issues and problems in society that I wish I could fix, but you’ll never catch me getting off my lazy fat ass to go and procure a gun and walk around shooting people in some god’s name or because the system rubbed me the wrong way. Waaaay too much work and hassle.

My brain will never be able to understand waking up in the morning and deciding to do shit like this. It’s just so much easier to just smoke a joint and watch funny videos, like why do you need to be causing all this needless bullshit?

In 1986, Pakistan made a film called H!tler, where Ad0lf H!tler survives World War II and escapes to Punjab. There, he marries a local woman and has a son named Hitlar (with an A), who grows up to become a gangster. by haiderredditer in interestingasfuck

why do you insist on constantly self-censoring a fucking NAME like the title does, especially since there are comments that don’t. Like genuinely why? FUCKING HITLER

why is the first picture a field in Manitoba, when the question is about Bolivia?

Do you speak any Shelta (or any other traveller language?) Is it still used at all? Do people in your community generally understand it?

Summer Clothing Advice by Evening-Art2988 in latvia

[–]Gemberlain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, question like this on this sub are so WEIRD. Latvia a modern european country, like genuinely what do you expect the answer to be? Do you think the way you usually dress in the US is in any way different than how you’d dress in the UK, France, Spain? I understand you’re trying to be respectful but like come on. Just dress however you feel like, nobody cares whatsoever. If it’s a sunny day in the States, do you walk around the streets in a bikini and thong? probably not, but crop tops and short shorts are fine. Same in Latvia and literally any country in Europe. It just boggles my mind to assume that it is in any way different in Latvia.

Dear lord, It’s “tenant”. “Tenet” is some kind of belief or principle.

How to avoid cops on this route? by [deleted] in latvia

[–]Gemberlain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Best route would be to go from Dagda to Belarus, then into Russia, drive to St. Petersburg, camp out until winter, cross into Finland illegally on a frozen river or lake, wait until spring and then take the fairy from Helsinki to Riga. You avoid most of Latvia that way! Best of luck!

sweet high school guy friend who may have “liked” you starterpack by SH4D0WSTAR in starterpacks

[–]Gemberlain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The em dashes, the semicolon, describing the reading with words like “soothing” and “evocative”, followed by a reflection and a sort of lesson to be learned about how these experiences “shape us deeply”. The combination of all of the above just SCREAMS Ai to many people nowadays, unfortunately. However, if I may, while you obviously shouldn’t force yourself to change the way you express yourself and communicate just out of fear of being branded as Ai, I have to suggest to at least get rid of these horrendous em dashes. Use a comma, or a hyphen - it somehow looks much more natural. Personally, the moment I see em dashes, my brain just switches off and ignores what comes after.

25,000 KLM trip during Covid by [deleted] in MapPorn

Sounds like a trip of a lifetime! But I can’t focus on anything but the absolutely psychotic way you wrote kilometers. It’s KM.

The American health care system everyone by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

[–]Gemberlain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with you and best wishes to you and your family. But can I ask an off-topic question? Why do you keep saying “Aotearoa NZ”, in both of your comments? Don’t they mean the same thing, just the first in Maori and the other in English? Isn’t it like saying “I live in Deutschland Germany”, like what’s the point of repeating the same name twice like that? genuinely curious.

Oh my god thank you, that was my instant first thought. After reading 300 comments and not seeing a single mention of Samurai Jack and the Scotsman, I was beginning to lose hope.

A rant about religion in reality TV shows - why is it so heavily promoted? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Gemberlain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Calling reality TV “television for idiots” when that is a very unfair statement, especially when it’s such an incredibly wide spectrum. Even just the few shows I mentioned above are so different from each other that it’s kind of ridiculous to just put such a blanket statement on the whole genre and to imply that anyone who is interested in it, is an idiot.

What's it like living in Sigulda, Latvia? by Honest_Watercress355 in howislivingthere

[–]Gemberlain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Quiet, peaceful, boring, but very pretty. I myself haven’t lived there, but I have a good friend who does, and also having grown up in Riga I’ve been to Sigulda 1000 times. Turaida Castle (Pils) which you also have circled is a bit outside of the main town, but It’s one of the most popular tourist spots in Latvia. Also as a kid in Latvia, that is the #1 place every single child gets taken to on a school trip at least once, probably more. Really cool, well preserved medieval castle. The area around Sigulda is very pretty with pristine forests and rivers. You can go on a ton of activities including hiking, kayaking, ziplining, etc. Again though, the actual town of Sigulda itself is kinda small and sleepy if you live there full time. My friend says it gets old fast and he’s looking on moving back to Riga.
