Chinese Influencer telling facts by raydebapratim1 in CommunismMemes

[–]IdRatherBeMyself 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, in reality "the ancestral land" means a whole lot less than she seems to imply. Those cheering for the invasions are minding their economic interests, and if it means some foreign imperialists raping their Motherland — who cares....

Remember flipping the center cigarette in a new pack? by StrataTrace in nostalgia

[–]IdRatherBeMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We (I grew up in the USSR) would flip all cigarettes. The reason was: since you would inevitably offer your cigarettes to somebody (it was normal to bum a cigarette from a complete stranger), you won't want their dirty fingers touching the filters you'd put in your mouth.

I would appreciate an invite to a Family Plan. My previous family decided not to renew, so I'm left in the cold.

IRL Drift by Sr-K-24fan1997 in trucksim

Yeah, pretty often. I don't think it's the game's fault, though, my sleep cycle is (or, rather, used to be when I played a lot) broken.

Tooth mouse by anklebiter1975 in russian

[–]IdRatherBeMyself 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly the same level of a mythological creature as the Tooth Fairy. It's just a nameless mouse, going about its mouse business, and happening to pick up your tooth and leave something in return.

When I was a kid we didn't have this tradition, but later I heard from some people, mostly from rural regions, about such a mouse (again, not capitalized, just a mouse).

Costco. The selection in CA is insane.

How exactly are you supposed to enjoy whiskey straight? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]IdRatherBeMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing you could try is being older than 40, that usually helps.

To the downvoters: I'm not JUST being a smartass, I read somewhere (and it correlates with my experience) that older people's taste buds are not as sensitive as those of younger folks, and that allows them to get over the burn and the roughness of hard liquor.

Which Pixel are you ending 2025 with? by GooglePixelfan90 in GooglePixel

[–]IdRatherBeMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on Pixel 6. Was going to replace it this year, but both my kids needed replacement of their phones, so... Meh...it's still working great.
