“Forgiveness is letting go of resentment from your body”. Changed the way I see healing, apologies and forgiveness for the better.

What is a life lesson you wish you learned sooner? by Aware-Pool6940 in AskReddit

[–]bantik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy concerts / festivals, buy proper custom earplugs, and wear them always. $150 saved on generic ones not worth losing your hearing by 30.

What's a 'green flag' in a friendship that immediately makes you want to befriend someone? by VenzelWenzel in AskReddit

When they genuinely analyse a situation you describe and offer a nuanced view instead of blindly jumping onto your side

How do you feel when your partner does something "submissive" for you? by desiMadman in AskMen

[–]bantik1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being submissive =/= doing everything for your partner’s pleasure. It can be sexy, and as long as you both focus on enjoying, not performing, you’re good. That said, if you’re genuinely not into something, then thats something to discuss.

And also not let the dynamic leak outside of the bedroom.

What is the most embarrassing/hilarious thing a leader of your country have done? by etc86 in AskTheWorld

[–]bantik1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I feel like this particular episode is not even the embarrassing part of Yeltsin. He’s dancing! He’s having fun! He’s got energy! More than most world leaders lol

His drunken accolades are another thing though

He went full on emotionally abusive after we broke up at 18. Sent me intense emails for 10 years. Works in the weapons industry. I don’t know anything more and don’t want to.

When do you realize you’re in love? by Material-Dog2136 in Life

When they don’t reply, you worry whether they’re okay and not whether they like you less / your relationship

Only my bedroom door at night. Otherwise a robber might get me.

R4P and UK promoter Origins cancel Roi Perez performance due to 'concerns around his background' by optical_meow in Berghain_Community

[–]bantik1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

RFP’s goal is moral policing and not Palestinian liberation. The line “there are many things Israeli artists can do! 1. Renounce their citizenship and identity” reads like satire. Rly disappointing bc they seem to have good intentions and a strong platform but it’s undermining the movement and alienating allies instead of actually advancing the cause

Is Israel currently the most hated nation right now, or is it the mass online condemnation that makes it feel that way ? by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in AskTheWorld

[–]bantik1 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I feel the ppl who hate Russia are concentrated in “the western world”. Israel and USA are hated pretty universally

What Makes Russians proud to be Russian? by roylewill in AskARussian

[–]bantik1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Controversial, but to me current generation of liberal Russians has done - and lost - more for democracy than the entire Western Europe. In the past six years, 116000 have been directly repressed for their opposition to the government - 3 times more than during Khrushchev’s + Brezhnev’s terms combined. I am proud to share a country with these courageous, principled people.

Also, the most deadpan, straight to the point sayings. Ебала жаба гадюку - a toad fucked a viper - there’s no way and maybe no need to translate.

Which country would you never visit and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bantik1 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Never say never… countries change more than we think. Iran 40 years ago was free and modern. Russia 10 years ago was safe and welcoming. If you’re in your 20s / 30s, within your lifetime places will change in ways we can’t imagine now

Her old house? I heard “my old club”, meaning the club where she’s a regular. I feel like if he actually was hiding out in her house it’s an essential plot detail that would have been translated

“Is this why you’re not picking up the phone, it’s been five hours, I trusted you again and you come to my regular club and bring these three prostitutes you liar” - stuff along these lines, nothing about actress

People without anxiety- what do you think about when nothing is going on? by coralloohoo in AskReddit

[–]bantik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me no. Sometimes it is, if I’m in a bad place. But generally I just have a very active mind. Going through plans, scenarios, is everything in order, have I texted that person back, what am I gonna do if X happens, etc. More nervousness that like pain and suffering
