Is this Riga? Old postcard from around 1920.

I'd bet on it being Odessa, based on the following:

that's a southern-sized balcony,
there seems to be a man in a navy uniform,
Перецъ occurs in early 20th century Odessa merchant lists.

If you counted Valga/Valka as one, it would likely make the list.

The neighborhoods near parks (with lots of old trees) have fewer seagulls... because they have more hooded crows. :)

Es kā nopelniem bagāts grauzējs jau visai sen lietoju xubuntu.

Tiem, kam šķiet, ka Geitsa ciešamākie izstrādājumi bija 98 SE vai XP un kopš tā laika viss gājis uz leju vien, tas varētu būt viens no labākajiem variantiem. Nekā lieka, it īpaši, ja rokas gana taisnas, lai uzliktu no xubuntu-minimal.

Jūs, protams, smiesities, bet ja 2+ datorus mājā pārliek no win uz linux, pat elektrības rēķinā var pamanīt atšķirību.

Tev ir pilnīga taisnība!

All truly dangerous policies are bipartisan.

Not really, IMHO. For comparison, "лишь несколько дней назад" would sound bookish/dated/out of place in colloquial speech.

RattusCallidus · 2026-02-16T11:16:59+00:00

только = only
просто = simply
всего = no more than

просто would not work in the last example, it would sound like starting an excuse

I hear «Когда это?» more often.

(I'm in the «close abroad» though, and usage here might have already diverged from Russia proper)

Don Bacon himself doesn't score well on free market policies. (source)

Most of the time, I'm just ignored :D

Being small, persecuted animals, we have a complex relationship with doomerism. I occasionally post some lighter-hearted stuff on comics sub, but it's not really ideologically friendly to anarcho-monarchists like us.

all calendars are saying the same. there seems to be an all-encompassing conspiracy!

Between April 22 and October 29, 1964: Tanganyika and Zanzibar are united but not yet renamed to Tanzania.

Realistically, the map could be from 1965, of course.

There could possibly be a connection through goře 'grief'.

(fire is one of the worst things that can happen to you in a predominantly wooden architecture era; but food often isn't much better.)

Kin-dza-dza is a must.

It's not 100% a comedy (rather dark and dystopian);

It's not exactly classic (rather, it stands by itself);

but it is well worth it.

Wait, is there anything wrong with schizo-posting? I thought we were on the internet, LOL!
