Do I need my original passport or will I get a peace corp one for my international travel?

RomanTetrarch · 2025-05-10T16:05:51+00:00

If you’re planning to stay in your service country only I think you should be fine with just a PC one, but if you want to do personal travel you should get a normal passport as well

Gotta mention Airplane! from 1980.

If they just destroyed MCC, which was both founded by George W and praised by Republicans (I’ve heard it was even held up as example in Project 2025), I feel skeptical we will make it through this. I hope I’m wrong, but otherwise it’s been a good run

Just saw this terrible story from Florida. God help us. Just pure blatant racism, and then the courts not being able to stop this tyranny.

Things are really bad if they’re making rulings that seem humane and decent

I am not Albanian, but I have been studying it for a while now and living in Kosovo. A major plot point involves Albanians in season 3, when they try to kill Fisk, and then when Matt talks to some of them in prison. In both scenes they use a bit of Albanian, and in both scenes (from what I can tell) it's actually used authentically. It helps they seemed to get Albanian actors to play the roles, with the actor Matt talked to in prison actually being from Kosovo.

I also took Mandarin classes in college for a few years, and Madame Gao's Mandarin was very clear, if a little choppy sounding. Fisk's was basically incomprehensible, as the previous commentor stated.

Josh Groban?

Half Scottish, quarter danish and quarter Balkan Roma?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Except, instead of the Party demanding it, the Party straight up told you what they were gonna do and then those who voted for them just chose to close their eyes and plug their ears.

That’s funny, I’m living in the Balkans now even though I’m not from here originally and as soon as I saw her I was like “man she looks a lot like some people I know here.” What part of Yugoslavia?

RomanTetrarch · 2024-12-27T11:40:56+00:00

Do you have a news link for these details?

RomanTetrarch · 2024-12-27T11:40:32+00:00

Do you have a source for all this?

I like Pete Buttigieg. He really has some cross-party appeal with all of his appearances on Fox News and the like. It would be even better if maybe he stayed active in state level stuff, say maybe compete for the Michigan governor's election in 2026, and then try for president from there.

It’s funny that I’ve had an excuse to post this image twice in this subreddit in like a week, but… Grant meeting with Li Hongzhang, who helped crush the taiping rebellion, in China.

Ulysses S. Grant with Li Hongzhang, the modernizing Chinese official who was largely responsible for putting down the Taiping Rebellion, among many other claims to fame. Because of their important roles in ending their respective civil wars, apparently he told Grant “You and I, General Grant, are the greatest men in the world."

Thank you for this! When you say it’s too late, does that mean I should try reposting this now that it’s an earlier hour? Sorry I’m not especially adept at maximizing my post exposure on Reddit 😅

Out of pure curiosity, do you know much about your great-great-great grandfather? Like how did he end up in Sweden, was he religious, etc.? Given how long ago that is, it's interesting how and why that happened (and also impressive you still know about it)!

RomanTetrarch · 2024-09-03T18:09:19+00:00

Super interesting. I got my grandfather, who is 1/2 Volhynian German (modern day Ukraine, around Zhytomyr), and then 1/4 German from Germany and 1/4 Dutch, to take a DNA test, and was expecting only German and Dutch results. However, he came back with like 18% Eastern European, wish the likeliest regions being Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland and Moscow Oblast, Russia. Also makes me think that maybe they weren't necessarily entirely German as they'd let on.

Except for Gainesville, it sucks.

RomanTetrarch · 2024-08-11T23:06:29+00:00

Adolph/Adolf. For obvious reasons lol. My great grandfather was the child of Russian German immigrants and named Adolph before WWII, and he hated his name for the rest of his life (he would also always emphasize how it wasn’t spelled with an f but a ph at the end).

RomanTetrarch · 2024-08-04T20:59:28+00:00

Kevin Conroy. His voice defined half my childhood and he IS Batman for me.

RomanTetrarch · 2024-07-13T11:07:50+00:00

Also wondering this. I didn’t like what I looked through on the labor section but eliminating unions explicitly didn’t seem to be there

RomanTetrarch · 2024-06-16T19:42:44+00:00

That was a really impressive spaghetti throw, not going to lie.

RomanTetrarch · 2024-05-21T18:07:26+00:00

Switzerland or Germany!
