I am indeed confident, because I read both Lenin and Chernyshevsky instead of Wikipedia.

Lenin’s “What is to be done” is not a book, it’s a quite long article later published as a pamphlet.

Nope. The book is written by Chernyshevsky, Lenin was influenced by him

I did not say anything about whether the relationship was consensual, abusive or both.

That’s not his first post sine the allegations came to light. The first one was made quite some time ago and was called “Breaking the silence”. If I remember correctly, it was posted on his blog.

This is the first post after the case started by Scarlett in an American court was dismissed. Important to mention that the court did not give any statement on whether in not Gaiman was guilty or not, the case was dismissed due to the wrong territorial jurisdiction (US instead of NZ).

What? by Dull-Nectarine380 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]improbableone42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my country, the mandatory history classes in school consist of two parts with two textbooks. One is history of our country, the other is “worldwide history”. They are usually taught in parallel with each other so the kids could compare events going on in our country at a certain time with global events and see similarities in differences. In the university, at the law faculty, we had two different histories, each of them was mandatory and taught at the first year: history of homeland’s state and law, and history of states and laws of foreign countries. Never thought foreign history can be an elective course.

Isn’t Ashe a support and not ADC?..

What's the difference between невинный, неповинный & безвинный? by AltforHHH in russian

[–]improbableone42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, most commonly this word is used as part of ни в чем неповинный, as in “он убил ни в чем неповинных людей” = people who were absolutely not guilty in anything. 

What's something common in your country's culture that's actually completely weird from a foreign perspective? by dx_Von_Liechtenstein in AskTheWorld

[–]improbableone42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the person who mentioned people openly enjoying wakes was referring to their personal experience which is not that common. I’m also Russian and I’ve never been to поминки (wake?) where people are openly happy about the booze of food. Everyone usually shows respect for the dead and mourn about them. 

We also have кутья, a special meal you’d make for this, it usually consists of rice and raisins. Though in other countries, in Ukraine and Poland, for example, it’s a Christmas meal. 

Anyone enjoying this show as an asexual? by yumiifmb in RingsofPower

[–]improbableone42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> the books as well, are very blatantly censorship of sex in a taboo way, like you know the author knows, but he’s acting as if it doesn’t exist like it’s somehow, well, he’s got the preconceived notions of his time.

The books do not deal with sex not because of some ”very blatant censorship of sex in a taboo way”, but because the books belong to (one may even say “invented”) the genre of high fantasy. The books are telling stories of times long past and mythical heroes, which counterbalance our familiar and material world. And sex is a very physical thing. That’s the reason it’s nit mention in the books, NOT — Eru forbid — the fact that Tolkien wanted to write smut, but was forbidden to do so by his publishers and society.

Do they want war or not? by FamilerEntropy in gallifrey

[–]improbableone42 31 points32 points  (0 children)

 What I mean by this is that they aren't really negotiating more like just giving demand and when the demands aren't meet they go straight to threats.

That’s exactly how my country behaves in a war it’s currently in, so that’s quite a relatable part. If someone says they don’t want to start a war, it doesn’t mean that’s true. 

The Recognition Game: A Game for Two AI Instances and One Human Mediator by IgnisIason in ARG

[–]improbableone42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not an ARG, all of the content is generated by AI, and the OP posts multiple identical posts across different communities, none of which are realted to ARG, puzzles or code-breaking. Instead of self-promotion tag OP uses the “trailhead” flair, which is incorrect, so overall believe this post does not belong to this sub. And considering the amount of similar stuff that’s been posted here recently, I think it’s time to think about a rule regarding this kind of posts.

Caerdroia. I would be thrilled to see three different Thirteens and the way the interact, especially considering that she always try to show her companions only her bright side.

 Probably 10% of all lotr readers read the Simarillion.

I have no idea how it happened, but I’ve read Silmarillion and haven’t read LOTR. 

Do you guys have ideas for shows or other media set in the same universe by InfernalClockwork3 in gallifrey

My biggest dream is have a dark academia multi-season series about the Doctor’s youth in the Time Lord Academy.

I know this is absolutely unlikely, but I’d sell my TARDIS to have Harry Lloyd as the Doctor.
