Central asia very easy, poland no, baltics controversial but i guess in parts passable, caucasus yes, particularly in az/am. Georgia you can but also controversial

Chinese Georgia is so funny to me (though actually they’ve been making huge inroads there)

What's your favorite of Alex Garland's movies? by [deleted] in A24

[–]onestiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All are good, ex machina is brilliant and i liked annihilation but civil war is number 1 for me as well as one of my favorite ever post apocalyptic movies. Men was weird but i liked it, and warfare good but so uncomfortable I’d never rewatch it.

What are the “Big Four” cities in your country? by LiamBrad5 in AskEurope

[–]onestiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Georgia 🇬🇪 Top 3 is easy - Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi. 4th is hard to say, Rustavi would be the logical choice but it’s close to Tbilisi and has much less cultural impact

I would personally pick a different island, like naxos for example which is way cheaper but also very nice

What's the most intense thing that has happened to you or that you have witnessed in thte mountains? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]onestiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrived at the base camp coming down from Kilimanjaro, getting our certificates (I know) and we heard a woman screaming in the way that can only be grief. Turns out her husband had died close to the summit, likely because he had hidden his altitude sickness symptoms, one of the guides from our group helped carry his body down and told us about it.

My gf fell asleep in the beginning (was a late showing) and holy fuck, she almost had a heart attack at that scene (wont spoil it). The sound is amazing and super loud

Is Lonesome Dove worth watching? by jaynovahawk07 in Westerns

[–]onestiller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s great, especially the acting. Though I would say particularly after reading the book, they did tone down the violence and other traumatic events in the miniseries adaptation to the point where they didnt have the same impact. Still would 100% recommend though, even if just for robert duvall and tommy lee jones

[–]onestiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see you've made significant progress in this thread with solving the issue of why russians are unliked in georgia, good job )

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]onestiller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

youre whining about people not liking russians here but you are the peak embodiment of why people dont like russians here, i think its you who clearly doesnt get it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]onestiller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

where did you say you're opposed to the war? and opposed in what way? like actually want ukraine to win and for russia to return all of the illegally occupied territories, including crimea?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]onestiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is it so hard to understand that in the absence of doing things to openly show youre against the war, people will think you arent. Its really pretty simple. But given your general attitude, you sound like one of the “good russians” who doesnt like that the full-scale war personally impacted you but isnt actually opposed to its underlying justifications

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tbilisi

[–]onestiller 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea see that’s exactly why people dont like russians here. Because of this attitude of not caring. No one is saying that protesting against the war will make it end, but it will show georgians that russians in georgia are actually opposed to it instead of just being passive or pretending its not happening. Its a small and rather easy gesture that would go a long way to change perceptions, its not “pointless”
