Seems to me like they’ve just upped the price $10 with each successive generation of consoles.

It’d be great if this was reported on while it was happening, instead of being sat on to get a juicy book deal.
Is there an only stupid questions community?
I think the college fraternity has more to do with the names for Greek letters, trying to sound mysterious I think.

All people on this earth have a lot more in common than they think especially Russians and Americans. I think your Vatnik MAGA comparison is spot on. Being a stupid asshole is now a political ideology.
A few great examples can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/wtr5XXHufuk?si=KQXW12BidmQZGioN
It’s a long one but very interesting. There are several times he shows peoples cars and boats covered with Zs. Very reminiscent of trump supporters I see around here with all kinds of bullshit on their cars.
This guy’s channel is great. He explores areas of Russia that no one talks about. This video I found especially interesting as Kaliningrad (originally Koningsberg) is where my maternal grandmother was from. It’s fascinating to see what the land is like. I doubt I’d ever be able to see it in person regardless of the war.
My great grandfather on my dad’s side was from Ukraine. I’ve always been very interested in Eastern Europe.
Good on your parents. I wish I spoke at least some Spanish as that’s the main 2nd language around where I live. There are also quite a few Russian and Ukrainian immigrants in the area. So much so that all the signs at the food bank have those languages in addition to Spanish. It always warms my heart to see the Babushkas loading up on beets and turnips alongside the older Hispanic ladies!
I wish you health and safety in this increasingly turbulent and uncertain world.
Shit can basically mean anything good, bad, ugly, or beautiful. It’s really an amazing word.
I just speak American English, so nothing too crazy. There’s the term fuckin’ a. It’s used by older generations I’d say. I’ve always just assumed the a stood for ass, which would be strange to censor ass after you said fuck. I recently looked into it and the a is for affirmative, and the term comes from military radio chatter. It basically means emphatically affirmative.
Another old time one is the whole shiterie, Meaning the whole thing or collection.
Another fun one is a brick shit house, meaning overly well built for what it’s used for.
There’s also shit on a shingle aka sos, which was a really basic diner food consisting of gravy on toast.
My post was mainly a joke, however, I find your comments extremely interesting and well worded.
That last example “забил хуй (zah-beel khooy)”. I find very amusing and I can grasp the feeling. Google translates it literally to being “Hammered the dick”.
Is that accurate?
I think slang and vulgar terms are fascinating and tell a lot about the culture that produced them. I even go so far as to say, swearing is one of the most illuminating things there is to language.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Speaking of the ongoing war, did you catch this video?

(Sorry for the Reddit link, it’s the only place I’ve seen it.)
How would you rate the translation of the subtitles?
I’ve been saying it for years, what is a dickshit?
That’s interesting and all, but I don’t think it qualifies as world news.
Yup that’s the one! Thanks.
Oh word. I was wondering what the fuck was going on. I’ll fix it. English major habits die hard lol.
Reconquest… Not the subtlest of party names.
See you Space Cowboy…
I don’t think “we only killed 7,000 children, not 13,000.” Has the gotcha effect they think it does.
I think they’re fixated on a Chihuahua and a Great Dane getting it on.
Maybe they only eat raw egg.
Why the hell would it work better?
These are two very different flavors of thing we’re talking about. No doubt you could soak booze up with a hardboiled egg. But why the fuck would you want to?
Rub your nose on your anus and you’ll have your answer.
