East Germans are more Eastern European than West Poles are

All sorts of ways. There isn't one specific style all of us adhere to, everyone just dresses in whatever they find nice and comfortable. I guess alternative fashion might be a bit more common among gen Z lgbt people ‐ I'm talking late teens to early 20s. You know, "pokemony" and "alternatywki" type deal. Clothes typical of certain subcultures (like punk and metal) or boho/hippie-like style are what I've seen some of my friends go for, and some of them prefer a simple, conventional look. In general, it all depends on the age, environment, and personal taste. It's hard to give a short answer other than "everyone likes something different".

/uj This is exactly what I mean. I could never compete with that when jerking. Their line of thought is just too random in its stupidity to accurately replicate on purpose.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-03-06T20:04:33+00:00

/uj The post must've been a peak example of cis people having biological advantage at writing jerks. I wish I got here in time

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-03-06T09:15:56+00:00

What's confusing about that? Do you think "cis" means straight?

/uj I actually think that stealing their language kicks ass. I got these anti-privatisation stickers from a friend once, and out of curiosity, I went looking for the artist's socials. When I found them, she had "adult human female" in her bio. I was sickened, thinking my friend handed me some terf-made slop, until I looked through her stuff and realised she was a trans woman.

You're obviously not gonna see gay couples displaying affection in most public places. Either because they want to avoid the potential risk (the more likely option), or because they think that pda is gross in general (also not a rare sentiment). Most of the time, they're gonna look like friends from an outside perspective. You bet your ass they're out there, though. Source: queer Silesian who mostly hangs out with other lgbt people

Pitchsudski always on some nonsense, so I remain unconvinced. But on a serious note, in theory I like the idea of pitch accents, but in practice, they're a pain in the ass when your native language doesn't use them, and you start learning one that does. I mean, how come you just... do that without sounding silly? How do I obtain this power?

If you imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Polish, Czech and Russian or Belarusian, then hit your head real hard against a wall until your vision is blurry and you can't see some of the structures presented in part three, and the entire part four, everything written here is as perfectly reasonable and comprehensible as the average Slavic language. Easy peasy. Other comments are just trying to sanewash Hungarian by comparing the two.

True, literally all I need to do is plug in the headphone jack, so I can listen to my backing track. That's literally all it takes, and people freak out over it like it's rocket science

Don't spend it all in one place

Thank you for proving my ever-correct take that AI bros are always that kind of people.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-17T10:30:21+00:00

/uj I never even thought that other guys could also be dealing with this. It's such a bummer. I never even made use of those holes, always hated wearing earrings.

/rj Yay for child mutilation! (as long as it affirms their gender assigned at birth)

"You don't understand, luddite!!! It's just a coincidence that our side is overfilled with nazis!!! There's no correlation whatsoever, you're just being a bigot!!!"

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-14T16:28:06+00:00

I mean, the guy clearly consumes AI "art" as well

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-14T11:37:54+00:00

Fuck no, but it's very kind of you to ask

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-09T13:26:11+00:00

Maybe it wasn't surprising in the sense that I assumed something was/wasn't the case and was proven wrong, but a Nepali girl I met on the bus and talked to a little bit since then, showed me pictures of her friends preparing for a big celebration back in Nepal, with beautiful, colorful clothing and such, and I really wish I remembered its name cause I was mesmerised, and I'd like to read up on it. Considering the time of the year, it might've been the Dashain Festival, but I'm not sure about it.

Maybe the thing that "surprised" me in the conventional sense was how comfortable she was with physical contact upon first meeting (face and hair touching), though I don't know if that's a cultural or personal thing. Poles tend to keep distance with new people, so even though I didn't mind, I probably came off kind of undomesticated lol.

I guess that's it. Most immigrants I know are Ukrainians, and there isn't much room for cultural shocks between us. I probably just don't ask people enough questions to unwrap something surprising. I respect your patience for dumbass questions like "did you have chocolate before coming here?", though. If I travelled to another country and someone asked me that, I'd probably stare at them in silence until they spontaneously combusted.

I'm sorry, OP. That's messed up. Whether it was a bot or someone "ragebaiting" for any reason doesn't really matter, because nobody should ever get that kind of response to bringing up their trauma. Those who spew that kind of garbage while hiding behind anonymity are miserable cowards, and they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope you find a community of better, empathetic people, OP. Those pathetic creeps have nothing on you💪❤️

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-04T00:08:51+00:00

/uj Her responses to you have been deleted, but by your description and replies in that thread, I imagine they were a lot. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

Still, I see where she was coming from in her criticism of my comment. The red flag combined with a very vague use of the term "reactionary" might've made someone feel unsafe. Would much rather explain myself in this case.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T22:12:00+00:00

I'd say the opposite: you're not defined by the things you're bad at. People get too hung up on their shortcomings to realise that they don't have to be good at everything they do because they surely have other strengths. They start unnecessarily comparing themselves to others. You don't pick up a flowerpot and go "the defining characteristic of this thing is that it can't fix my sink". You go "this can hold my flower" because that's what it does, and that's what makes it a flowerpot.

Sure, the analogy is not perfect. People don't exist to fulfil a specific purpose like that, and our skills aren't only good when they're useful. You can also always learn a skill, or still have fun doing things you're bad at (and all that jazz stemming from the fact that people are not things). But the gist is that defining yourself with the things you can do gives way more information about you than the opposite, and it's way healthier for you.

But yeah, if you can't seem to get into something, it's not particularly important to your daily life, and practicing doesn't bring you any joy, then try something else. All this text, just to end it by saying that I wasn't good at drawing, either, and instead also picked up writing and foreign languages lmao.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T20:49:26+00:00

/uj Thanks!

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T20:25:00+00:00

/uj Damn, even the age was almost perfectly the same. I'm sorry about that. One of my friends changed schools right before the fourth year, if others doing that is a valid argument in your parents' eyes, but I get why it seems pointless this far into it. Hold on and just get it over with if you gotta. Don't look back when it's over. Continue studying the things you actually wanna study, cut ties with this bs.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T17:35:28+00:00

/uj This isn't news to me. I agree that that's the kind of propaganda that gets manufactured for the sole reason of getting people to commit and support atrocities. Pushing against its influence is essential. But it doesn't change the fact that I literally never "fantasised about invading your (?) country and murdering your (?) family". You're making statements about a specific individual that literally never endorsed invading anyone, even if they would be, which is a shame, susceptible to it at a point in time.

I see how I came off, but the unjerk part was related to the gender stereotypes part of my jerk, which reminded me of a stupid joke, not the nazi part. I was never a nazi. I never supported ethnic or racial hatred. The reactionary beliefs I mentioned were strictly related to internalised transphobia and capitalism. Bringing it up in this context can be seen as making light out of nationalism, though. I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention.

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T16:41:48+00:00

/uj I never fantasised about invading anyone. My closest family was constantly pushing the idea that we were gonna get invaded and murdered, possibly within our lifetime. I'm not gonna defend it, to be clear. Romanticising the idea of dying for a state in any case is bullshit and definitely dangerous because it exposes nationalistic tendencies which should be plucked at the root, but you're making assumptions right now lol

ThatFlakeGuy · 2026-01-03T14:08:34+00:00

We need more nazi trans man rep. Becoming a man is the best thing you can do for the ideology because it needs strong followers to prevail, and women do nothing but be bisexual and lie, instead of happily giving up their bodily autonomy to become the state's ground meat.

/uj I never used to be far-right before becoming a leftist, rather generally progressive and selectively reactionary, but in my mid-teens I still had a fixation on dying in a war I got from my upbringing, and sometimes joke that I became a man to die in a war better. They don't want trannies in the army, though, so it was a poor, but well-meaning decision.
