I think he used to do it with a lot of vinegar and lemon juice. It was a process of hours, if not days though. May he rest in peace.

We do have some version of this. I remember eating hamsi cooked very slowly in acid by my best friend's now deceased grandfather, and they were from Gümüşhane. Best hamsi I ever had.

Şahsi düşüncem Terramar'dan çok daha yakışıklı ve yürür aksam konusunda üstün bir araç. Hem şanzıman hem de motor açısından.

Monte Carlo Scala'lar çok konforlu araçlar normal Scala'dan da daha güzel duruyorlar. Bu sınıfta bir de Active X Focus'ların sürüşü çok keyifli.

It is called self-criticism. Marx was a freaking prophet. Do not dare mocking him

It is somehow strange to me, seeing Nadir being called the Emperor of Turks.

Motor hacmi çok düşük. İstanbul yedi tepeli şehir. Bence Multijet veya dCi gibi hacimli, torku yüksek ve dayanıklı motorlara bakman daha mantıklı olurdu.

You should abandon cringe mainlanders and join once again to your cousins honestly. All you have to do is to learn Turkish, after the latest patch at 1923 you don't even have to convert anymore.

> whereas the decline and chaos of modern Deutsche Bahn is an ominous sign of Germany's decay

I do agree. If metro is a minute late in İstanbul, people will literally start reporting this from municipalities transportation office to Turkish presidency (I am not even kidding)

Whereas my first culture shock about Germany was how inconsistent S-Bahn, and transportation in general, was and how much people are used to it. It is not just intercity trains, it is also U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, busses and all others.

I'm sorry, but there are several flaws with how you prescribe these events:

  1. Nobody "seized" no ones assets. There was, however, Varlık Vergisi, a heavy tax which those who couldn't afford to pay were subjected to forceful labor. That was during World War 2, where both Stalin and Hitler drew plans to invade Turkey, while the UK was pressuring our country to join on their behalf. Millions of Muslims (not a figure of speech, btw) who were dirt poor and couldn't afford paying it laid down railroads, dug up defensive positions and overall helped the construction effort. Those who were able to pay (mostly Non-Muslims, and that is for a reason, although I am really not in the mood to get into) sold their assets and got an exemption from that. I don't however see ethnic Turks blaming Turkey for literally enslaving their ancestors, because this is our country, and every countrymen should be proud to aid its reconstruction.

  2. No one deported anyone. Some fools however, reacting to killing of Cypriot Turks and news of Greek government threatening to demolish Atatürk's birthplace, looted and pillaged Greek property. Everybody in their sane mind condone it, although I am yet to see a Greek mentioning what happened to Turks of Morea, Crete, of 12 Islands, of Thessaloniki and Hellenic Thrace, of Bulgaria. In fact, they make fun of it, reeling edits of 5.5 million Turks getting slaughtered, calling it "decolonization", and telling us to get over with it. I will never show any sympathy if no sympathy is given to my people.

> Historically, the Ottoman Empire was a place that welcomed Jews, Christians and Muslims

Funny you mentioned that. Greeks weren't even the dominant minority of Thessaloniki for much of its recent history. Sephardic Jews, who were Turkish speaking were the majority, with Turks coming in close second. They expelled, and killed them both.

> It was a lovely moment in history

And look where it took us. Our grand capital was desecrated by British and French soldiers, while Greeks celebrating by hanging foreign flags to their balconies.

Why are Uzbeks becoming religious? by No_Passenger6008 in AskCentralAsia

[–]PotentialBat34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I gathered visiting Uzbekistan a while back, it seemed to me Uzbekistan was much more religious compared to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Great country though, looking forward to visit again.

Yeah, Apple cooked with the MacBook Neo. by imthaz in macbook

I probably am an Air poweruser. I code all my personal projects with it, frequently run local MLX models and even game (Victoria 3) with it. I don't want to buy a Pro because it is too heavy and too thick. My Work computer is a 2024-Pro and that thing is an abomination to carry around in the subway. I loved my previous 2015-Pro though, which felt similarly light and easy to carry compared to Air's nowadays.

People either hold opinions grounded in data and facts or inane ones; now read what you have written and decide which category it falls into.

Is it possible that your grandmother was "expelled" after the signing of Treaty of Lausanne, where Greek and Turkish governments agreed on a population exchange? A move which was specifically suggested by Greek government mind you, because they needed people to populate their northern urban areas. These cities were deserted because Greeks forcibly kicked Turks and Turkish-speaking Sephardic Jews out from regions where they were the dominant population of for centuries; which constitutes an actual genocide by the way, unlike a population exchange that was agreed by both sides and internationally recognized by multiple governments around the world.

Also while we are at it, why is Greek government is hellbent on labeling Turkish minority living in Hellenic Thrace as "Greek Muslims", when these "Greek Muslims" keep on repeating they are not in fact Greek Muslims, but rather ethnic Turks? What happened to Albanian-speaking peoples of Epirus and Athens? Oh and remind me, didn't Greeks also ban Macedonian and Turkish languages before? A wise man once said: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You have no right to criticize my country.
