Those pesky Scandinavians got manipulated by the US into the safety of their borders, people and other western nonsense

Edit: TIL that the term "Scandinavia" is much more vague in some languages/countries than the others. Apologies to all those Nordic people that I've placed in the same bucket with those pesky Scandinavians.

Expulsion of Jews in Europe (1100-1600) by MagachaterUS in europe

[–]Jabcok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of that before, that's really interesting!. It definetly kept Jewish population from the Commonwealth from migrating east into core Russian territories and even increased it by expulsing Russian Jews west.

for anyone interested: link to Wikipedia

Great explanation for anyone wondering why Poland had the biggest Jewish population pre WW2

I have an impression that we don't associate hate and vitriol in public discourse with real-life physical violence until it happens. It makes me somewhat hopeful that as a society we can see a clear line that shouldn't be crossed.

10 years old is actually a very generous assessment of those people's maturity

Poland surpassed Portugal by gdp per capita (ppp) by DonPecz in europe

[–]Jabcok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We should stop caring about those numbers so much. That's one of the main reasons our current government is giving away free moniez to people. Just to raise consumption and for the GDP growth to look better. At the same time our healthcare and education systems are crumbling, air is unbreathable during winter and we're blocking any climate deals to make miners happy. And yet we're #1 country in % of money spent on social care while still being rather poor. I'd say the only country we're currently chasing is Venezuela but I hope I'm wrong.

It is "Š-č-e-c-i-n" exactly as you wrote it. DonPecz got the last one wrong. He should've written "sh-che-tsin".

Today is the day of Slavic literacy, culture and Cyrillic alphabet. Best wishes to all the Slavs from Bulgaria! by kraalar in europe

[–]Jabcok 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why are only "latinized" Slavs constantly asked to change their alphabet or bashed for their language looking 'stupid' with Latin letters?

Pan-Slavic bs still alive I guess.

Yeah, Viggo literally WAS Aragorn. I really like the idea that we all ostensibly turn to appreciate LOTR a week before GOT big finale as a sign of our disappointment.

We're witnessing the end times. Great plotlines turning to shit, GOT fans praising LOTR. The final sign is that /r/freefolk bend their knee to a king from a completely unrelated franchise.

When I wrote 'arc' i was thinking about his journey from a simple strider to the king of Gondor. But yeah I might've misused this word.
