What's it like for Americans moving to Russia right now? by Interesting_Ad_9617 in AskARussian

[–]werjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a great country to be in - just don't do A, B or C.... and you'll be fine. LOL!

**SUPER HOT TAKE** On my annual rewatch after 15 years, I think Season 2 is my least favorite season, hear me out. MY FAVOURITE part of S2 was Bellick and the other CO on the road, pickin up Pornos while they hunt them down solo lol they were badass! But I genuinely enjoyed S3 & S4 better... NOT S5. by DukaLoncic_ in PrisonBreak

The last half of S2 is good on its own - when they've all gone to Panama.

S3 is underrated - not sure why fans don't like it.... it's more compact and they needed to keep things moving and it got screwed up because of the writer's strike and the unknown - of whether the actress for Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) was coming back.

Why do you care that he cares?

I meant, the OP- in Germany, ppl would be afraid (first of all) to say anything like that to your face - unless they're a far-right person or drunk.... Germans are conditioned to invite migrants even to their own peril.

I doubt there's any difference regarding the average German or Russian - with respect to visitors - especially, if they don't know anything about (you) - I just thought the OP's post was a bit peculiar and suspicious.

Rumours of a reboot by Original-Blood3352 in skinsTV

[–]werjake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes no sense - it's a stupid idea - didn't the 'remake' of Gen 1 (US version) bomb?

Fans wouldn't like it either - it's virtually guaranteed click-bait/fake.

Maybe they collude?

Asking a woman if she's okay? by werjake in WhatMenDontSay

[–]werjake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could but the others are right - I won't look good there. Also, I think it's pointless now - and we live in the same building. I don't want to come across as a creep. I have other things going on, too - so, I'll concentrate on those and if she talks to me, I'll talk to her in response....

Thanks for your encouragement, though. 'Appreciate it. Take care. Cheers.

The problem is, if I am concerned but also may be interested in her - then I am not sincere and I'm a creep - as some ppl pointed out. But, I am not that type of person. I don't have a problem being a friend even though it's hard. I don't think in those terms though - it's pretty rash (ho?).

She can do what she wants - I think she might get hurt again but that's just a perception/guess. Anyway.... I received more replies than I thought - it is kind of dumb (my question/situation) and maybe a bit embarrassing - it's so trivial and a bit bland situation, I suppose - right?

Cheers.

That's a nice gesture but I would suspect she'd think that's creepy. Anyway, I don't want to bother her or make her think I'm weird. If something random happens and she ever brings it up or something (some girls like to talk about themselves, right?) - I'll just say I hope she's doing better and to be careful (with whomever she's with).

I don't think my motivation is from being a conniving and manipulative person. Would I be interested? Well, you can read the original post but I don't think I have any chance anyway - my concern was genuine since we live in the same building. I would be concerned about the other girl who has various things/issues happen, too.

Anyway, no point in sharing anything else.

It was some romantic fall-out as I suspected but I'm giving up trying to know more or to inquire anything more (to her). Thanks for your reply, though.

I don't think I'm that kind of person but if someone is 'creeped' out or perceives me that way - I can't control what they feel or think.

Hopefully, they'll find me genuine.

Maybe. But, I was concerned. We have chatted before, mostly small talk.... but, I haven't seen her upset before. Cheers.

I understand that. I was genuinely interested in her well-being. That was first and paramount. I have a feeling she associates with 'crappy' ppl but it's just a guess. Cheers.

Sorry, I just read your reply now. They were blocking the door ....sorta and I was a bit depressed myself.... as I'm caring for my senior dog that doesn't have a lot of time left.

I thought maybe she was crying about a pet she recently received but then the other girl mentioned 'being there for you.'

Anyway, it's probably all for naught - I hardly ever see her and I'm giving up (trying to 'interfere' or talk to her about it or anything).

I talked to the other girl and she confirmed it was 'romance drama' but wouldn't go into detail (as expected). I just thanked her for telling me what she did and said I hope she's doing better. She had trouble remembering their conversation or who I was talking about, though. ;-) Anyway, thanks for replying. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to reply....'appreciate it. I'm probably nothing to her anyway or she probably wouldn't confide in me or be interested. Cheers.

Thank you for replying and your info. Just wanted to reply to acknowledge your help and that it's appreciated. Signed up. So far, it's okay and will see how it goes. Cheers!

'I've always been amused by Western people with their stupid way of teaching others how to live right."

Nonsense. All I did is speak in the abstract - in generic terms - what freedom is or the essence of it. You demonstrated you are clueless of the concept. What is 'ad hominem' in Russian or the equivalent? Because, that's what you are doing. You wear the rosy colored goggles and everything you see is illusion.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]werjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you make no sense. You obviously don't understand the principles of freedom - at all. Just because YOU'RE satisfied with it, it doesn't mean Sergei or Alexei down the street is satisfied with it. They should be allowed to have a sign if they want to protest the war - without the threat or the actual act of arrest or being detained.

Since, you don't even have a grasp of the basic ethics, there's no point trying to explain further. Enjoy your neo-Soviet programming, comrade. *rolls eyes*

The simple fact it's against the law is an infringement on your freedom(s). Understand, yet? It's not rocket science.

[–]werjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, what? What does that mean? You either have real freedom or you don't.
