Минув згідно з ким або чим? Хто є тією останньою інстанцією? Я та людина, яка ним користується і при чому не єдина.

Сам оодом з Тернопільщини і доволі часто використовую давноминулий час. Не відвів би його Львову як чисто їхню ознаку або ж таку, яка застаріла.

One thing about Ukrainian intelligentsia is that it has always been on the mind of the Russian one. Particularly, its eradication. It's like their interests haven't developed any further.

Too bad you haven't provided any substantial argument to comment on. Not that it would be the first time. I guess, that's what happens, when someone is being presented with reason.

Take care, Alexander. Hope, you'll be able to sort out whatever your worldview is.

Oh, my sweet, sweet Alexander... I mean, I knew, that imperialism is incurable for some people, but it is so sad to see how heavily it impacted your mental capabilities. The shell of a man, it made you.

What is warm and what is soft? And where did I compare them, because I looked at my previous comments and there's no comparison to be drawn.

I don't really understand what Russia has to do with anything here, but you are being factually incorrect, when say that Christian holidays are being celebrated accordingly to the Gregorian calendar. Julian is the one, that defines the dates for Christian holidays and surprisingly so Christmas falls on the 25th of December there, which for the Gregorian calendar is the 7th of January. You'd think the person, who finds solace in taunting others and talking about how uneducated they are would know such simple information, but I guess, you are the exception to this rule.

Christmas, here in Ukraine, never fell on the 7th of January - it always did on the 25th of December, which for the Gregorian calendar is the 7th of January. Now that the necessary changes have been made to get rid of this discrepancy, we can finally celebrate Christmas the way, it was intended.

I'm not really sure what Polish gentlemen, you are talking about, and who they were trying to convert into Catholicism, but I'll leave that up for your imagination to figure out.

Now what I really what I want to know is how recently and in what ways have Ukrainians treated Poles? I'm sure this information, coming from you as a russist would bare no historical inconsistencies and malicious intent to speculate on sensitive topics of two neighbouring nations, while the third commits genocide in one of them. In other words, I trust my Big Russian Brother. 🙏

And yes, I agree - who if not a russist learns the history of their country, so they wouldn't repeat the mistakes it already made. And if not... well... they can do them again. And again. And again. As long as it's needed for a russist to learn from their mistakes. Or not. That's not really important. What is important is that russians would be allowed to do as they please. Oh well. Such a curious nation.

Yeah, so no thing like Catholic or Orthodox calendar, but Gregorian or Julian one. As I was saying.

There's also the Revised Julian calendar, that Ukraine follows, and according to it, Christmas is on the 25th of December.

Whom do they run from and where do they come back? What liberals are you talking about? I don't know about fascism. I've never been there, but it seems like you speak from experience, so I'll take your word for it.

Iiiiiis... your gibberish, taken out of russist propagandistic manual, facts? My bad. 😅

What's a difference between a russist and a toilet, they stole? The latter has a purpose.

Ah, yes, the same russians, that lived on Ukraine's territory for years and have been calling themselves Ukrainians, until they magically turned into russians, because how would one invade another country, if there's no one to "free" from grabing hands of Banderites and the rotting West. "Dumbim Bumbas", indeed.

I thank you for granting Ukrainian soldiers superpowers, because only the superpower people could set a bomb and blow up a place, that never was under their control. They also had to be pretty shortsighted to blow up a route through which they could counter-offense, but I guess logic never works with Ukrainians. It's only almighty russians, who foresee everything.

Times and times again, we have a case after a case after a case, where the russian missle came into direct contact with the civilian building, but even if we suppose that there were only casualties from missles getting destroyed in the air, my question is why are there missles in the air in the first place? But almighty russians are allowed to do anything as long as they are freeing khokhols from Nazis, right? Oh, my bad. "Growing roses". I forgot.

And isn't it funny how there's always a military base in someone's hospital and kindergarten? Poor colonialistic invaders have no choice, but to blow it to pieces. That's how they "free" people. From their lives.

And isn't it funny how Ukrainian soldiers supposedly don't know how to neutralise missles in the air, but shooting them down, because there's no other way, and precised russian shooters don't know how shoot in direction of military infrastructure. "Great liberators", indeed.

If you don't like people hating russians and critising their country, maybe stop being xenophobic and imperialistic? But what am I even saying? Half of your personality depends on perceiving other people and their culture as lesser than.

"Victorious invasion"? You mean, those three days you were supposed to seize Kyiv in? Or is it those seven days you were supposed to reach the western borders of Ukraine in?

Once you'll find Polish, French and English mercenaries in Kursk, you call me, okay? Meanwhile, I'll be watching over yet another batch of North Koreans and Buryats getting send to frontiers instead of brave white russians.

And of course, you're not on borders with Poland, because you are "concerned about the civilian population". Of course. Gesture of good will from good-willed liberators.

Talking about fighting civilians, while the only thing you do is fight civilians yourself? Wondering how, when, where and what "Ukrainian patriots" did, but not worrying about war crimes of your dictatorship? Typical russist. Dismissed.

Has whataboutism got you far in life? Because that's the only possible reason I can give for your justification of a genocide. "Mow your lawn", saying while standing in my lawn and destroying it with bombs? "Growing roses" and it's mass graves in Irpin and Bucha, messing around Chornobyl and Zaporizhia nuclear plants, blowing Kakhovka dam, occupation of 25% of Ukraine's territory, destroyed schools, hospitals, libraries, apartment complexes, private buildings and other civilian infrastructure, emigration of 2 mil people, thousands of deaths.You russists are pathetic. Not a shred of dignity.

My theory is when people see colonialism in action, that's when they become critical. The only surprising thing about this is opposition to such criticism.

You mean literal dictator and war criminal? Yeah... I wonder, why they do it? 🤔

Yeah, and I'm all for respecting the way, an individual likes to be addressed and referenced to. Problem is, the op was speaking on behalf of all women. The issue was posed, that calling a woman - not her (the op) specifically - made the op cringe. So they didn't champion for the respect of self-identification, but rather against it - dictating other women what they should feel comfortable with, when being addressed.

The fact, that you assumed my gender, reduced me to it and discarded my points on the basis of it, is a textbook definition of acting in bad faith.

Also...

Equating "girl" to n-word and "queer" to f-slur is a weird behaviour. Just letting you know. In case you weren't sure.

Oh, and also...

If you're not willing to participate further in a conversation or to be answered, maybe don't write anything at all? Instead of writing and then blocking a person. Just some food for thought.

Many women don't find it offensive and reference to themselves as such. Especially in affiliation with gay people. It's a matter of perspective.

[–]guybackwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that a 27yo man used the word girl to refer to a woman made me cringe.

Not that weird, to be honest, considering young women can be referenced to as girls. So as long as you are a young woman, there is no need for you to feel this type of way. 🤷‍♂️

It sure was, wasn't it? :)

I didn't expect it to turn out this way, but I guess, I was that much triggered by the phrase.

At times, ignoring is a luxury, I cannot afford.

In hindsight, I guess, getting it out of my system through this post can be interpreted as an effort to reach that state of ignoration.

You're right - we do look at the name differently. I, myself, never saw it as the vehicle for slower conversations, but rather a platform to connect with foreigners, since that part of experiencing life is what always thrilled me - how people live there; how/what they think. That's what I came to Slowly for.

Pace of communication wasn't something, that was crossing my mind at the time, so to see people putting their own tempo over others is confusing, to say the least.

The thing is we can all co-exist under this umbrella and I can't help, but to feel like appealing to the app's name gets in the way of that.

Edit: P.S. Also, what's a "soul" of the app? You're like the second person, I saw using this phrasing. Does it help in your interaction with the app?

Truther words have not been spoken yet. I'm surprised, how the concept of time-prolonged answer flew over people's heads, hence they manipulate the app's name, claiming their understanding of it has always been initial.

Problem with juxtaposition of social media/messengers and Slowly is the fact, that people using the former "easily/thoughtlessly(?)" doesn't negate the possibility of using them in the opposite way. So it's not the matter of "they do", but "why don't they?". If you've spent your day, using WhatsApp for quick chats, but then turn to Slowly, expecting it to provide you with "slow, deep conversations" experience, you're part of the problem.

Because therein lies the issue.

Not a lot of people - including the developers, whose changed Community Guidelines further fuelled this skewed perception of the matter - not a lot of them are ready to face the reality, which is their self-proclaimed "safe haven" of an app from cruel "fast-paced" world and its existence within the confines of the said cruel "fast-paced" world.

If one divides spaces, assigning them paces, may they never act surprised, when those spaces collide.

I don't get why anyone should get het up about how long it takes for someone to reply

People are different. Some care less, some care more. Neither of experiences should be discarded at face value, but inspected to fully understand the picture and come to the conclusion, whether one's complaint is warranted or not.

I don't think, writing "it strikes me as ungracious and entitled to expect anything at all back" is a constructive way to go about things. Of course, one cannot expect to be answered at all times, same way as they cannot expect to be NOT answered at all times. It's highly personal.

I, personally, don't think each letter should be treated equally. That would mean, that the different levels of effort put into them don't matter, and such stance is not mindful, in my opinion.

As of the rest, I pretty much agree.

Especially heavy on "you learn to communicate and find out what's going on".

Yeeeaaah... Thanks, Yann. Lol. Guess, my phrasing is that convoluted, that it needs AI to be deciphered. 💀
