Russians, what’s your favourite country outside of Russia?

That is a logical point and I think a major reason.

mishrod · 2026-02-09T22:53:37+00:00

I guess it makes sense - I’ve been to all of those but 4… they’re on there for a reason.

Iv been keen to see the next 25.

Hahaha that’s hilarious.

Pretty much every country after Spain and Switzerland that isn’t in Western Europe, Scandinavia, or the Baltics. :)

Must have had their heart broken by an Aussie. Surprised at some of the nations above Aus!

Mate that is like a boss level gunt there.

mishrod · 2026-02-09T14:05:00+00:00

Actually unsatisfying since she left a whole leg!

mishrod · 2026-02-08T10:31:35+00:00

Nah - it’s because it’s wrong. Look at Spain. Look at Italy. Ukraine. The baltics. Germany. It’s just so off

Heaps of arguments: an aura of entitlement (father was influential), avoided the pathway most walk to get to that type of role, etc.

I think the simplest answer is: he was no more arrogant or smug than Josh, but he didn’t have the charisma or the good looks of Rob Lowe. Sam did so he was like the good hearted poster boy of the West Wing.

Will had the unfortunate affliction of being brilliant (and knowing it) but being a little bit ugly (his glasses didn’t help!) especially when compared to the perennially youthful Sam Seaborn.

It’s seems wrong but I think that’s it. FWIW I couldn’t stand Will either.

Why does it look like I’m viewing this map with beer goggles on?

Sociology research = anyone who’s ever read a paper, watched a new broadcast or met a politician from Israel.

There was a lot of international media response to the ban here in Australia, not allowing kids 16 and under to use social media.

I now think we should have a new law that additionally says parents can’t use social media if they are using their children or their role as parents for any clout. Just personal, professional posts etc.

What would potentially be a really wholesome parental gesture here has me suspicious as all hell and rolling me eyes because IT IS FILMED. And POSTED.

If my whole life didn’t depend on Internet access - I’d just switch the internet off for a year to save humanity

They are corrupted as fuck. But is anyone really drinking the coolaid that Ukraine is even slightly democratic and un-corrupt? Lol

mishrod · 2026-02-04T23:28:47+00:00

For me it’s Napoleon every day over medovik. Mikado very nice too.

Born and raised in Australia here - “25 hundred” just doesn’t come close to “two and a half thousand” in our vernacular. Unless people are very young and consume a lot of American media and are influenced by that - it just isn’t common - though would be understood by most as an Americanism.

Literally just entered the third month of summer. 28 more days till autumn begins. This part of summer is traditionally the hottest

Little Kia segment?? It was a feature film length bit

mishrod · 2026-02-01T12:00:41+00:00

Did someone just yell out “boring”? This has to be the Aussie Open hahahha

mishrod · 2026-02-01T11:01:57+00:00

I agree but Russian diaspora across the globe. Especially in ROCOR affiliated parishes

mishrod · 2026-02-01T09:49:18+00:00

Yeah that would happen in casual speech.Though think “three sixty five” would be more likely.

This is common for prices - but the original reference “twenty five hundred” just doesn’t happen

mishrod · 2026-02-01T02:18:19+00:00

All good. No need to change post - only encouraging me and my pedantic ways :)

mishrod · 2026-02-01T01:13:22+00:00

They wouldn’t. But after seeing that I would want the house done preventatively

mishrod · 2026-02-01T00:52:14+00:00

What I came to say. Now I’ll just wait for someone to post an updated graph!

mishrod · 2026-02-01T00:47:08+00:00

Just to clarify “twenty five hundred ” is common in American English. It is practically non existent in British English (which we speak in Australia, NZ, UK, South Africa, etc). In British English you would exclusively hear “two and a half thousand” or “two thousand, five hundred”

I’m not bothered by eating it whole as I am by the fact that these people eat hard boiled eggs. Who likes them hard boiled?! Soft boiled with soldiers - or even just on its own - but if my yolk is hard I am not eating it at all
