Interesting, I didn't look at it. Tbh it sounds ridiculous in general to claim a government is Nazi for trying to make the official language survive (especially in the case of Estonian). It also shows how clueless some people are, as if they actually knew what they were talking about they would know that in Estonia for example Russian is very used in Tallinn, local newspapers are printed in both languages, etc. While in Ukraine you actually needed Russian to study in certain universities even (like in Odesa).

Either way, I doubt any argument would work for tankies, that's a cult.

Open that post:

Ukraine is literally using israel as an example and btw the donbass uprising happens because azov started killing russophone ukrainians.

36 upvotes. Tons of Azov members were russophones, and the original battalion (to be cleat, fuck them, they were in most cases actual Nazis) spoke russian as their communication language. Also timelines don't add up, and geographically doesn't make any sense.


Absolutely their rules are bullshit performative stuff.

Good data, there are some similar cases with remote communities in Northern Italy, but very different situations indeed.

Keep Tuscany, Rome, Milan, Naples and Venice and you are done for Italy.

Not to worry, the mainline of hexbear and .ml regarding Ukraine is completely messed up. They have a completely west-centric view and lack any serious context whatsoever.

Unfortunately stalinists can't accept that the Soviet Union had plenty of flaws and oppressed people, including workers, in many ways. Instead of learning the lesson to avoid repeating past mistakes they just double-down.

I had a conversation once when someone called all the baltics "Nazi hotbeds" and to support this claim they linked a law that is gradually removing Russian schools in favour of having Russian as a foreign language. Someone was telling me that "people have a right to have education in Russian" and failing to provide that is a human rights violation. I asked to show me a country in which education in foreign language is a right, but sadly didn't get any answer. I have also then linked soviet laws that forbid teaching in Ukrainian, and surprisingly I didn't get any answer either.

I have also provided some interesting sources from Ukrainian leftists, one specifically was from a historian. But obviously the American fella on Lemmy - who doesn't speak a word of any language which is not English, never read anything from a non-western source, lacks cultural context etc. - knows better.

I think life is too short to deal with silly things, and even shorter to deal with idiots. I - a communist from Western Europe - ended up blocking both instances because I have no interests in being associated with zealots of a Stalinist cult.

Pizza a taglio is actually something almost exclusively found in and around Rome.

BTW even regular pizzas have various toppings, they just need to make sense (for example tuna and onions is a possibility).

Tbh, I have been to Iceland twice and I have managed to eat very well! (Italian here)

There is no much variety, but I have eaten very good lamb (as you are saying), stews (both mean and fish), even baked goods (there was a tiny house with very good cakes in the middle of nowhere in Westfjords).

My favorite probably was a fusion sushi place (I.e. sushi with local fish) in Seydisfiordur (the town where Ben Stiller arrives to in the Walter Mitty movie BTW). I don't think the place exists anymore (that was in 2018) but it was very good.

Sometimes you can find very good food in unexpected places (for example, I have never eaten better Mexican food than in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland!).

I like Estonian Kelluke, a local carbonated lemonade. Probably mostly meant for kids, but hey...

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

I drank it straight from an old soviet tank sold in a parking lot. It tasted exactly like I expected.

I personally can't stand it, but chinotto is either you love it or you hate it.

Fun fact: the picture is for chinotto Neri, with the motto: chi beve neri, neri beve. (Literally "who drinks Neri, Neri drinks" but "Neri beve" sounds like ne ribeve "drinks it again").

I used to do this, but then why revealing even my domain. I have bitwarden integrated with simplelogin, and I get service_garbage@aliasdomain.tld

This way I can easily filter with prefix matching (if I want to), but don't reveal anything at all about me. Also much easier to be consistent, block senders etc. Plus, I can send emails from all those addresses if I ever need (e.g., support).
