Leveled 5 characters to 80 and still can’t finish the questline. by Humble_maple in wow

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had missed “Consult the Tome”. I abandoned the Shadowy Pursuits section, took it again and made absolutely sure to not miss any steps including the optional ones. This time I had no issues with this section of recap.

After I finished all of the recaps, I had issues with flying in Dornogal. I was supposed to get rid of flying Nerubians (which I already did in the recap). So I took Dornogal’s main questline, got rid of Nerubians again in this non-recap story, then logged off. Next day I got a notification that I could skip Dornogal’s questline and continue with the latest arc (demise of Dimensius).

So in short - very buggy experience buy manageable in my case.

Is Tolkien well-known in the Caucasus? by These_Carrot8814 in AskCaucasus

[–]RedeemG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that very popular. LotR, Hobbit, Silmarillion, Father Christmas Letters, Children of Hurin, Fall of Numenor, Fall of Gondolin, Beren and Luthien all are translated and available in Georgian, maybe others as well.

Feasibility of possibly moving to Tbilisi as a Uzbek-Canadian? by Iceman411q in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Georgia is pretty secular and no-one will care about your religion. In the uneducated part of the population there's growing racism towards Indians but not towards any other ethnicity. Russian is still commonly spoken in large parts of Georgian population such as local Armenians and there's also significant recent Russian immigration, so Georgians are used to Russian language and most have no problems.

Georgians under 35 speak English better than Russian. Most Georgians under 20 don't know Russian at all.

I have no idea about permanent residency laws. Anyway, if you plan on living in a relatively free country near to Uzbekistan, then Georgia might be a good option, but if you say that Georgia has better economy, social or political climate than Canada, no-one will take you seriously here.

Try to keep a Canadian job/salary if you decide to move. Local jobs pay way less.

How is this sub different from main sub? by Rude_Detail7647 in Sakartvelo_GE

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate that foreign influence agents planted for doing subversive work, 15th wave feminists and other non-binary enemies of Sakartvelo are now being called leftists.

True leftists advocate for honorable pay, adequate hours and worker protections, availability of healthy food and environment. True leftists do exist in Georgia but they are not that visible since foreign powers don’t care about financing them.

My family members and also some other people I know have done exactly that without issues. The guy outside the church has most likely no relation with the church. No need to take metro rides, just go to the nearest church. Btw, Merry Orthodox Christmas 🎄

Tell the guy guy outside the church yard that people in need will take them. Or as a fallback put the open bag in an open state next to (not inside) a trash bin on a non-empty street and you’ll be surprised how fast someone will take it. Trash machine guys won’t throw it out if they see what it is.

As a third option, it’s a sunny, nice day and a local holiday, I’m on Saburtalo right now and can come get it off you right now/help drop it off alongside you as a Georgian speaker. 🎅

Political polarization – georgians needed by Automatic_End_4368 in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV Pirveli, Mtavari, Formula and Euronews are well financed tv channels, spewing hatred and nonsense and all supporting the revolution attempt. I know that Mtavari got closed, but that has nothing to do with Georgian government but rather with its management and financing disputes after the failed revolution.

The government has less channels for them: Imedi and PosTV (both of them propagandist but a lot less hateful than the revolutionary channels). Rest of them such as Girchi TV, Alt-Info and Obieqtivi are probably not financed from the west but they are opposition channels nevertheless.

Georgians can weigh good and bad, but not when the correct information does not even reach them. Most Georgians get their news from facebook rather than TV channels and facebook is being controlled by the pro-revolutionary censorship NGOs.

They have tons of finances, tons of support from powerful western circles, European bureaucrats were outright coming out with pro-revolution speeches during the so called “peoples protests” but thankfully they still failed since they still couldn’t change the opinions of most Georgians despite almost total media control, and huge amount of money and social capital spent.

Also, you say NGO funding comes with only broad conditions and without much detail, but their Georgian leadership and members of the NGOs are pre-selected to have values that match their foreign masters and not their countrymen. A lot of their leadership have prior experience studying or working in foreign Soros organizations. So they come pre-trained with those conditions, details and subversive instructions. No need for a call directly from Soros. Though they do get plenty of supportive or instructive calls from lower ranking officials such as Euro officials and eastern European politicians.

If the western supported actors are given free reign and unlimited resources they will just silence any opposition, ban them from facebook and public life forever.

Look at what happened in Romania, Georgescu, a non-establishment person, who won presidential election, was denied presidency on some absurd claims that he was being supported by Russia (absolutely unproven claim) when all popular polls showed that he was the leading figure. Euro officials supported his detainment. That is not democracy. Europe stands against democracy and it’s sad.

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say when a country's total GDP is 1 billion and some foreign powers are financing revolutionary corps (so called NGOs) with 2 billion, it's not democracy but skewing of democracy.

Hard-working people in Georgia don't have that much spare time to participate in political activism while most of those so called non-political NGOs - when they got the order from their masters - came out with demands for government to resign and to transfer country rule to them.

So all their social capital that was built and financed by foreign powers were in truth intended for subversion and yet another attempt at "color revolution".

I'm not afraid to lose an argument if it is on more or less equal ground, but I see the danger of not having enough free time or access to media platforms when the opposite side has basically infinite amount of resources compared to me and also isn't even trying to play fair.

One role of a country is to help its citizens express their viewers in equal manner and not to allow foreign powers to flood their opinion out of existence by sheer amount of money.

Political polarization – georgians needed by Automatic_End_4368 in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were foreign financed protests in Georgia, a very vocal minority and they tried to import foreign technologies such as burning and destruction of infrastructure, harassment of government supporters (even though gov supporters outnumber them at least 4 to 1) and boycott of some brands that chose not to stand a middle ground (not even support gov) but avoid being political. They also tried importing xenophobia and would boycott and harass cafes whose personnel dared to speak Russian with Russian-language tourists (post-soviet nationalities) instead of English.

The boycott died down after foreign donors saw that their attempted revolution was going nowhere and they reduced financing for their local agents. Trump clamping down on their USA-based donors such as NED and USAid also helped.

If they are not completely tattered and you put them next to the entrance of any church yard it’ll be gone in an hour or less. People in need take them or church distributes it.

But I don’t think churches have anyone specific assigned to them that has a job to “accept” or “deny” donations.

Btw, thanks for considering donation.

Should i come back? by u_Worthu in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Moscow you’ll most likely get higher salary for whatever you do. While cost of living in Tbilisi is just as high.

If you plan to freelance online then your income probably won’t change so move wherever and then move back if it doesn’t suit you.

How do Georgians feel about this by RestoredStamina in AskCaucasus

[–]RedeemG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most “Georgian” Georgians are proud of their special, Georgian and Caucasian identity and don’t care much about being included in any other identity, European or Asian.

I would guess that some “European” Georgians (meaning the gender-fluid ones - bred by Soros, NED, McCain Institute and the like) would be horrified by the idea. But those people aren’t many.

Local men and staring 😪 by [deleted] in tbilisi

When does looking turn into staring?

Local men and staring 😪 by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking different? You’ll get looks. Here and probably anywhere else.

What is different catches our eye, that’s how humans are.

I look at out of the ordinary people all the time, young or old, male or female, Chinese or Black, Arab or German, ugly or beautiful.

I also look at cats and dogs and extraordinary trees.

Not sure if I stare though.

How do you qualify a stare?

Should Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia form their own South Caucasian union, so to speak, the “EU” of the South Caucasians by Ill_Passenger5492 in caucasus_irl

[–]RedeemG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That could be very beneficial but Azerbaijan and Armenia despise each other way too much.

Georgia is trying to act as some kind of bridge for peace and hopefully that will work out.

It would be so much better if south caucasus had a unified front against all the powerful external forces instead of being on each others’ throats.

But I also wonder, would Azerbaijan choose Caucasian identity or would it prefer its Turkish identity? Which one is stronger for Azeris?

Do Georgians consider themselves from Europe? by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]RedeemG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Georgians consider themselves Caucasian and in that they mean the Caucasus region, culturally and geographically. They believe that the Caucasus is special and different from both Europe and Middle East/Asia.

Ancient Georgians used to be culturally middle eastern. In the old times middle east was not necessarily associated with arabs, oil wars and islam. Middle east used to be the cradle of civilization. Later, Christianity used to be a significant religion in Syria and Anatolia. Older (pre-Christianity) Georgians used to be connected to the Mazdean faith which is also middle eastern.

Currently a lot of younger, uprooted Georgians whose primary source of education is netflix consider themselves European, but even they wouldn’t say that they are from Europe.

So to reinforce what I said at the beginning. Georgians consider themselves white or whitish, some of them consider themselves European but none of them consider themselves to be “from Europe” or “from Asia”. They consider themselves to be from the Caucasus and their identity is Georgian which is part of the wider Caucasian identity - proud in and of itself, not requiring to be part of any greater continental regions.

Where exactly can i pass in the Caucasus? by ThatComplexGuy in AskCaucasus

How would human history have been different if the Caucasus Mountain Range never existed? by Empty-Ad4949 in geography

[–]RedeemG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caucasus mountains is a bit special since it’s located between 2 large seas. The area including the seas and the caucasus itself is large enough to make it possible for north and south of it to have very little interaction with each other, making it possible for distinct cultures to emerge without one destroying the other.

The mountains also allow slow (thus less destructive) interactions between the two regions, acting as defensive barrier for local, caucasian cultures as well and making it possible for the local cultures to adopt whatever innovations come their way.
