[gritty echo]

Read the Dhammapada.

[lime cobalt]

Oops

[slender coral]

This is bs

Idk where people get such stupid claims from

[lime cobalt]

Im joking .

[manic juniper]

He just says many inflammatory quotes

[lime cobalt]

Im sorry, my bad

[slender coral]

Some people claim that though, unironically.

[lime cobalt]

Im sorry , but u know Executive Order 14168 ?

[slender coral]

Trump is an idiot

[manic juniper]

Unfortunately

[slender coral]

I hate how American media misses chances for deep stories about geopolitical situations in the world.
Imagine if Battlefield 6 explored a possible future conflict between Egypt and Turkey in Libya rather than the wild scenario they are going for.

Oh damn, it's only the publisher that's American not the developer.

Didn't know that :p

[manic juniper]

The publisher is EA, they basically choose most of the themes of the game

Sometimes they get very involved, sometimes they don't, there is also the fact that DICE isn't as good as it used to be ever since BF4 if not since BF3

[slender coral]

I think the stories have always been not interesting from what I hear. I played BF4 campaign and don't remember anything from it.

[prisma cipher]

I think they don't make this game, because American don't care about Turkey or Egypt. Also wtf is Libya.

[slender coral]

It's a country in the west of Egypt. Egypt and Turkey have been competing for control over it for years.

[prisma cipher]

Yea I know.

[slender coral]

Y'know, actually control is a big word. Each side backs a different government, you get what I mean.

[prisma cipher]

Maybe yes maybe no.

[manic juniper]

Ironically the story (more like backstory) with the most potential was that of BF2042 but they didn't capitalise on it and that game makes little sense

[muted patio]

I remember 'What's u r mission in Shanghai ' is quiet popular on Chinese Internet

Because General Zhang's accent is so hilarious😂

[slender coral]

Lol heard about that

I don't remember how the team got caught though

[slender coral]

The European might was there way to becoming more open-minded societies, but it made them very arrogant before that.

[civic reef]

so, basically tell me you're not European without telling me you're not European

lmfao. BS

[crystal kayak]

Want to cry

[civic reef]

then cry

[crystal kayak]

All facts

[civic reef]

zozu doin ragebaiting

[crystal kayak]

What ragebaiting it is true

The truth always comes out

[crystal kayak]

Basically the world is tired of them man

[slender coral]

I think we won't suffer from their bs for so long as younger generations in those countries are becoming more aware of the shit their ancestors did.
Isreal is very hated now by gen z.

[muted patio]

There are backfires too

[crystal kayak]

Have watched the video to the end

[crystal kayak]

Hopefully

[muted patio]

That's why i think the nations such as China, Soviet Russia and Vietnam(except DPRK) is more lovable than the countries he mentioned🤓

[crystal kayak]

Are you European

[muted patio]

Nope

[crystal kayak]

Which continent are you from

[muted patio]

I'm Chinese

[crystal kayak]

Who loves china

[crystal kayak]

👍

[slender coral]

Idk about Vietnam but China and Russia are shitty as well.
Both countries are very well known for their human rights violations as well.

[crystal kayak]

[muted patio]

What i mention is Soviet Russia,(1917-1922),namely the Soviet under the leadership of Lenin. I think it's totally different from Russia nowadays

[muted patio]

I admit this, all of them do have some 'human right' questions

But what i would like to lay my emphasis on the time when they founded rather than when they ossified and corrupted.

[slender coral]

That's the problem with strong countries, they can fuck up other countries without much consequences.
That's why I actually respect the west more, freedom of speech and democracy could allow for change in policy.

[muted patio]

Isn't the right to resist the biggest and most important part of ' human right '? I m looking forward the answer from my western friends

[muted patio]

The banner of Freedom and Democracy is indeed cherishable, but they shouldn't be placed to the position of god. In other words,they r historical. They always obey some rules of history, belonging to someone and against someone, and serves for ruling class. Thus, they dedicate to the production and reproduction of the economic and political system. I do believe the founders of these countries cherish the value of democracy and liberty, but not the liberty and democracy of the majority of the society rather than the bourgeois'.

[crystal kayak]

We just want them to stick their own country and don't interfere with any other country

[muted patio]

Haha That's a question of history and basic Marxist theory.

[manic juniper]

Unfortunately it comes with people voting or supporting stupid stuff as well that leads to less freedom, such as what the UK is doing now with the strict ID control

That shit will soon come to the EU as well

[lime cobalt]

Oops, the bitter truth.

[muted patio]

The founders didn't found the countries in the same situation as Western style democracy countries, SU was deemed as the specific historical tool of revolution, u can get the point in Lenin's book. There was a chance to spread the new political system and liberate the workers in Central and Western Europe countries. In other words, not the ambition of some so-called dictators but the ask of situation let the SU launched the war with Poland. Same with other countries

[manic juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/rammstein-amerika-moon-astronaut-moon-landing-gif-25958107

↑ EU and UK soon after this age verification bullshit gets implemented

[muted patio]

Chinese deem the foundation of the PRC as the symbol of self-strengthening and no more both external and internal exploitation and suppression. I believe Vietnamese deem their countries as well as the country has a similar history with us. The long and bloody history of struggle makes it impossible and childish to bulid a Western democracy in these countries.

[manic juniper]

Poland has one of the bloodiest histories ever yet it built western-style democracy just fine

[muted patio]

Bolshevik 's 'collective democracy' indeed doesn't looks like Western democracy which insists the egality of opportunities only. Under some historical situation, that is the face of Socialism whici should insist a wider range and more bountiful rights.

[lime cobalt]

Is the revolution still ongoing? Because it seems to be fading, eroded by capitalism.

[formal pilot]

I disagree

Amymidget

Add me

🥻

[muted patio]

Do you really think so? Every country's history is bloody, filled with natural disasters, man-made calamities and mutual strife. To simply say that the history of a certain country is the most painful can only be a personal judgment.

[manic juniper]

This is the opposite of what you said earlier, you implied that those countries' histories are specially bloody

[muted patio]

Revolution is something objective, it never up or dowm just with the order or any humankind or organization. Revolution , from my opinion, is a river, There are dry seasons and wet seasons. Whether you admit it or not, he is there.As long as human beings exist, there will be struggles among different things, and thus there will be revolutions. Individuals in this context are like boats; you have to seize the right moment.

[muted patio]

Surely, history is very brutal. And just like everything else, it is a contradictory entity.

How bloody it is means how fine or any appositive adj it is

From my amateur opinion that's the most basic view of dialetics.

[lime cobalt]

If a revolution is broken, its initial dreams turn to ashes.

[muted patio]

There's a Chinese saying as The ashes can burn again, so do any objective things in the world

If the basic contradiction that form the revolution never be solved or turned into other forms, then the revolution is just hidden

U can get this from Russian history, 1905 Revolution failed, but there r 1917 revolutions.

[lime cobalt]

I don’t mean failure, but rather the absence of any desire for revolution.

[muted patio]

Same with French, the road from monarchy to republic used them for almost 100 years, but after all there is a République

You may agree with Lukacs' interpretation on October Revolution.

[muted patio]

'The success of the Russian Revolution lay in the fact that the vanguard group maintained the class consciousness of the working class, but this was not the case in Germany. ' (I paraphrase it personally)

But Althussur assert here is the function of social structure, the conjunction of russian society gives the birth of Revolution. To some extent, this also explains your problem. In some (some) situations only. with the desire of revolution can't call up a revolution.

Now with a situation that everything is stabled and coordinated with capitalist system(Both political, economic, cultural...in a word, Base and superstructure).It seems rational to fight a flexible metaphorical guerrilla, while maintain your personal life

I believe there would always be a rupture

[lime cobalt]

I’m happy that this idealism is still alive, not just in name. among all communist countries, each uses its own language, which is very difficult to learn, especially Mandarin and russian , I hope a new country will emerge that uses a more universal language.

[muted patio]

That's a rather long and harsh road

[muted patio]

And i remember there is English translation of both classic and Neo- Marxist works.

[lime cobalt]

Yeah, but of course, communist countries need to communicate with each other, and language becomes the main obstacle to unity.

[muted patio]

It's difficult to say there are or were socialists countries now or ever

[lime cobalt]

Aren’t they already at the socialist stage?

[noble rampart]

whats your name

oh okay

i ve been saying weird stuff on discord for such a long time ,but i dont think that helps improving english skills alot

any advice guys

i think i merely can get a 5.5 in IELTS test

fkin english

is there any other choice

yes i am

but i have to do something finally

your name seems like an expression --__--

9999 well

i dont really have a good idea

[cursive bobcat]

:x: That word could not be found in the dictionary.

Word: zinc

Definition 1 (noun): a bluish-white lustrous metallic element; brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable when heated; used in a wide variety of alloys and in galvanizing iron; it occurs naturally as zinc sulphide in zinc blende
Definition 2 (verb): coat or cover with zinc

Definition requested by _lieberty_

[sharp creek]

i didnt know zinc is word before

no i m not i dont know much about zinc

hahahahah

now i know

hmm okay, but how do you know so much about zinc and pants

I cant even figure out the material of these pants

recently i played a japanese game in english

i do think the english language lacks some emotion, its too efficient, yeah maybe it is a prejudice

[main bison]

Do you know japanese

[sharp creek]

people who speak english are just not really into those complicated words

a little bit

i like japanese anime and games

and english sounds chill, its not usual to hear people speak it with a hesitation and shyness

we d like to pretend that we are shy ahahahaha

even though we are not

its kind of interesting that you can discuss something for a really long time and still nobody knows what happened at all,
and because of shyness and poor expression skills (or introverted?) , there are so many misunderstandings in daily life

also shy people were seen as good man here

villain cant usually be shy, right

[thorny steeple]

is there is someone struggles with desire to not talk on learning language

not because of getting shy or introversion, but from not understaning, what to excepts from conversation?

[midnight sky]

Zinx, do you mean that introvert people are shy and have poor expression skills?

[midnight sky]

Are you good at the language you're talking?

[thorny steeple]

yes

[midnight sky]

You mean you don't know what to say in a conversation?

[thorny steeple]

no, I know, but I dont wanna because I dont know how people will react, is there will be a feedback, you could say

[midnight sky]

Criticism?

[thorny steeple]

maybe

[midnight sky]

Yeah, you're lack of conversational skills i guess!

You need to train yourself on how to make conversations, if you believe in your skills, then you will never be anxious of people's react, right ?

[thorny steeple]

I cant say what I do have a lack of communication skills, but after some moments I started to feel, like most of people, who I had met just isnt intresting to me

and sometimes I dont understand, what I should except from plus-minus intresting to me

[midnight sky]

When you meet them, do they really feel this way? Or you're just imagining?

[stray sigil]

It seems this server is for Christian religious propaganda.

They are just spreading their religious propaganda

[sweet rampart]

Hello @little wyvern

[slender coral]

Bruh no

There's a Muslim channel as well

And debate topics vary

[stray sigil]

But Christian sever is promoted frequently.

[slender coral]

Well, Idk about that but they certainly don't silence opposition so I don't find it logical to say they just spread Christian propaganda.

[thorny steeple]

Im not a Christian or something like that, but may i ask why are you upset with this?

[stray sigil]

This server is for learning English not for religious purposes

[thorny steeple]

Isn't debating a way to learn ENG?

[slender coral]

The thing is, some people want political and religious discussions which are things that can improve your English.

[stray sigil]

Is religious debate the only method to learn English?

[slender coral]

Add to that the value of connecting with people of other cultures.

[thorny steeple]

If you dont like it then why do you care about it?

[slender coral]

Bro, there are so many stuff you can talk about here.

[thorny steeple]

I mean they speak about their interests, its not a bad thing, is it?

I would say its better than most of brainrot conversations in #💭｜general

[slender coral]

Fr 😅

Many people get so sensitive around religion though. Usually from countries where discussing religion and advocating for views that don't match theirs can make you end up in prison.

[thorny steeple]

This kind of things have been going on since a few thousand years ago

And people are still fighting over it

[slender coral]

Unfortunately

[thorny steeple]

How sad it is that most of the things people care about are race and religion
I m not saying that it isnt needed, but its too much.

People are going to mars out there,
Here? some people still fighting over "whos god is better"

[slender coral]

Things are changing though, younger generations are slipping away from intolerance and prejudice, though it's a slow process in many places.

[thorny steeple]

As if anyone can change others beliefs in a Discord server

[thorny steeple]

Thats a thing too

[sharp creek]

me, i mean myself

[lusty zenith]

One time I said I can eat one pizza by myself and a person on Discord said "I don't believe you" and then I ate the pizza and showed them that I ate the pizza and they said "I believe you now." So, yes, you can change someone's belief

[manic juniper]

Are Indians disliked in your country?

[sharp creek]

for most people they dont know much about them

but the impression of indians is so so

but but there is little racist here

nobody cares about others ethnic group

they merely look down poor people and people from certain other cities

[lusty zenith]

I thought Japan allows gun ownership with license

[prisma cipher]

That is why I most of time don't explain why my opinion is different, because waste of time

[thorny steeple]

So... would you call spending years to change someone... A success?
I mean yes, its possible, but it doesn't worth it.

[prisma cipher]

Yes, If your goal is, to change anyone mind. Depending of your goal. If your goal is, to prove someone is wrong, or stupid it waste of time.

[snow hare]

Why would u hate Israelis

I get hating their government but the citizen did nothing wrong

[tender vessel]

Well, considering they strongly support ethnic cleansing of Gazans and agree with the notion that the IDF "when conquering an enemy city, should act in a manner similar to the way the Israelites acted when they conquered Jericho under the leadership of Joshua, namely, to kill all its inhabitants".
Seems like they did something terribly wrong. Not all of them, though.

[snow hare]

Wtf are you saying you cant generalize every isreali citizen as maniacs

[tender vessel]

What are you talking about? I'm not generalizing. I literally said not all of them.
Many of them do that, although you rarely ever hear of an Israeli who remotely cares about tragedy of the Palestinian people caused by the Israeli occupation.

[snow hare]

What do you want them to do? How should they "care"? I'm from the USA and I feel bad for everybody dying in Palestine but I can't exactly go up to my government or fly to Palestine can i?

I'm dropping this argument

[tender vessel]

By "care" I mean either sharing with others that they support Palestinians or at least showing some remorse given the fact its their occupation that is the problem.

[thorny steeple]

U should try to fly

believe me it will gonna work

Genocide watch attested that much: https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/poll-show-most-jewish-israelis-support-expelling-gazans
Additionally, Pew Research conducted a statistical analysis about Israelis' views of the conflict on 30 May 2024, when the death toll of Gazans since Oct 7th 2023 was 36,224. 39% of them are saying the IDF's response has been just about right while 34% said they believe it has not gone far enough:
https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/

My only comment is that, they are indoctrinated and brainwashed.
Even this statement isn't my own opinion. It's what Gideon Levy, an Israeli journalist, said.

Turkey is full of Greek colonies. Since ancient times, many Greek tribes, such as the Ionians and the Aeolians (because in ancient times the term "Greek" did not exist, an ancient Greek would tell you I am Athenian, Corinthian, etc.) had established many colonies on the Black Sea coast and Turkey. During the Hellenistic period, there was the advance of Alexander the Great and much later Byzantium. The Ottoman Turks appeared in that region in the 13th century.

Also I think you are aware of Pontus and the Greeks that were living in Constantinople and other Turkish/Greek then cities as Smyrni (Çeşme)

[manic juniper]

Nah the term Greek exist, they just didn't have a unified country. Didn't they recognise each others as Hellenes and outsiders as (mostly) barbarians?

[analog hound]

Sorry I was trying to explain it and I couldn't exactly translate the words

Yes, they did

But civil wars were also a pretty popular thing

[manic juniper]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellen

[manic juniper]

Yes they had different and competing political systems

The concept of Greek existed at least since the 6th century BCE at least according to the documented myths of the times, it's possible that it was older

[analog hound]

Έλληνας was the son of Deucalion

[analog hound]

Oh it says it there, sorry 😂😅

[analog hound]

Exactly

The biggest feud was among Sparta and Athens

[manic juniper]

The Greek language already was the lingua franca of much of the eastern part of Rome and it was the most spoken language in most of Anatolia except the easternmost part (that was more linguistically diverse with Kurdish, Armenian and Aramean)

[tender vessel]

Is "oğlu" in the Turkish name Köroğlu Greek?

[analog hound]

To be more exact, the Athenian alliance and Spartan alliance

[manic juniper]

I think that's Turkish for "-son"

Like Jackson or Anderssen

[analog hound]

It means son, it could be

[analog hound]

Yes, exactly

[tender vessel]

I see.

[analog hound]

I'm Greek the most common is -πούλου/πουλος

[manic juniper]

Poulos?

[analog hound]

Like Kyrialopoulos is the son of Kyriakos

[analog hound]

If you say it like that is a curse word 😂

[manic juniper]

Lol I tried reading it

There is also idas/ides like Parmenides

[fresh flower]

Are you Greek

[analog hound]

That name ending is originated from the Peloponnese

[fresh flower]

How do you feel about British tourists

[analog hound]

Yes

[analog hound]

Yes, there are plenty of different "endings" in surnames
And by those you can understand from which part of Greece that person is from

[analog hound]

They are unable to appreciate real cuisine ☝️

[manic juniper]

Where is -idas/-ides from?

[analog hound]

Serres

[analog hound]

😂😂😂

The signs behind the person 😂😭

[manic juniper]

Which one do they use in Cyprus? What about Italy? Do you know?

[analog hound]

In Cyprus I know it is -ίδης

Because my trainer is from Cyprus

I don't know about Italians, unfortunately

[manic juniper]

Interesting, unfortunately we don't have anything like that

[analog hound]

Oh you are Italian

[manic juniper]

Maybe it's diverse because surnames have been in use for a long time

[crystal kayak]

Are you asking everyone or

[analog hound]

What about the name Di Giovanni?

[manic juniper]

No I'm Finnish, Italians have "Di" and "De" before another name

Or "Da" to indicate provenience

[crystal kayak]

Hate is a strong word but I don't want them in my country

[manic juniper]

I think that means "of Giovanni" if translated literally, but idk if it refers to the father's name being Giovanni

[fresh flower]

Which country

[analog hound]

Where are you from?

[manic juniper]

In Finland there is only -nen but that is more complicated, it's akin to a diminutive more than anything else

[crystal kayak]

Kenya

[crystal kayak]

Africa

[fresh flower]

I don't blame you😭😭😭

[crystal kayak]

You see

[manic juniper]

We also have -tar, -tär and -tytär, the last one is extremely rare

[analog hound]

I read on the news that a lady in Kerkyra (Corfu) complained that we did not have "British" food in our country

[crystal kayak]

What about you how do you feel about them

[crystal kayak]

What

[analog hound]

I like how the Finnish language sounds like
Like the way you talk
Minä olen Alkistis

[fresh flower]

We don't have many Brits here afaik (Thank God) but as tourists in other countries I like them

They're fun to hang with

[crystal kayak]

So you don't want them in your country

[fresh flower]

I don't want more migrants to Sweden regardless of where they come from

[analog hound]

Everybody I think

[manic juniper]

Hauska tavata, minä olen Asta

[prisma plume]

hello ppl

[manic juniper]

I like Estonian immigrants if they are not middle aged construction workers

[analog hound]

I am glad I can understand what you are saying 😂
Nice to meet you, I am Asta

[crystal kayak]

So you want to hang out with them in other peoples country😂😂

[analog hound]

We have many Albanians

[fresh flower]

Yes 😭😭😭

[manic juniper]

Yes, one of my ex classmates is an Albanian whose family comes from Greece, I don't know if they are immigrants or not tho because I never asked

I believe some Albanians are native of Greece

[crystal kayak]

😂😂

[fresh flower]

I've seen a few Americans here and they're obnoxious

[crystal kayak]

Majority of them are

[high raven]

How come Minecraft isn't here

Something is brewing...

[analog hound]

Yes, some of them are Albanians but have never been to Albania
Like their great grandfather came to Greece

[crystal kayak]

Maybe he was caught and taken to a mental asylum I am just saying

[analog hound]

😂😂

[manic juniper]

Yep before modern times ethnicities formed more communities abroad

[analog hound]

There is a gentle population of Greeks in Sweden too

[fresh flower]

The CCP caught him using discord

[fresh flower]

I don't think I've met one, there's an overwhelming amount of your enemies though, Turks

[analog hound]

They have Greek names, they don't usually speak Albanian etc.

[analog hound]

I am learning Swedish actually
For fun, using Duolingo 😂☝️
I've heard that in Northern countries you have some issues with Muslims?

[manic juniper]

Oh I guess he's an immigrant, his surname is Albanian

But his name is extremely Greek lmao

[analog hound]

Yes, they have albanian surnames but greek surnames

[analog hound]

I want to speak 5-6 languages
I speak 3 right now,
Greek, English (of course) and French because I go to a french school (in the greek section of the school but we have 5-6 hours of french lessons every week)

[manic juniper]

How good is your French level? And which ones do you wish to learn next

[analog hound]

C2 level
I have French Proficiency (C2)
So I am pretty fluent

[manic juniper]

The highest level, much respect

[analog hound]

I want to learn Swedish, I like Italian and Finnish is a choice too

[fresh flower]

That's so cool, let me know if you need any help! And yes, we do, mostly due to rise in crime

[manic juniper]

Italian is complicated but it's comparable to French, maybe easier because the pronunciation isn't all over the place and it's more like Greek or even Finnish

[analog hound]

Yes

I am 17 now so I have the time to learn those languages

In September it is my last year of high school
I want to get into Law School in Athens

[manic juniper]

Good luck, if you're already C2 in French at 17 you must be a prodigy

[tender vessel]

Perhaps because we smacked him in the face by some facts on Gaza genocide.

[analog hound]

You need French if you decide to become a diplomat and take the exams for it, after Law School
To get into university we have the Panhellenic exams, we prepare 2 years for those exams and they are very difficult but the subjects are not the same for everyone, it depends on the school you want to get into

[manic juniper]

Are these exams required to complete high school or just to get into university?

[analog hound]

To get into university

In school we take exams every year, in junior high school and high school

To take the Panhellenic exams you need to have a high school diploma, which you receive when you take the end-of-school exams in the third grade.

[analog hound]

The exam period starts on June 1st and finishes on June 15th and we are examined in 8 subjects

But in the Panhellenic exams the subjects are 4 but with a huge amount of material you need to cover

[manic juniper]

Ah it's similar to Finland then, we have matriculation exams that are pretty much the same

[analog hound]

What's your opinion for your system?

[analog hound]

Your system is considered the best educational system in the world

[manic juniper]

Was, they defunded it a lot over the years, now it's only the best with average tertiary education (university-level) but it's just top 10 at best everywhere else

I think it should go back to being the first but I doubt that's the popular sentiment, most people want the national debt to go down and to pay less taxes

[analog hound]

It's sad that many countries are defunding their educational systems, the kids are the future of the country

[tender vessel]

Actually, that's a question I always wanted to ask.
Finland's education system is one of the best.

[analog hound]

Where are you from?

[turbid dome]

Clearly good education can't fix stupidity

[tender vessel]

YouTube videos say it fosters creativity etc... It seems as if they don't know the answer. Lol.

[tender vessel]

Egypt.

[analog hound]

True

[analog hound]

As-salamu alaykum!
I always wanted to visit Egypt, my godfather lives in Cairo

[manic juniper]

It's a problem of our mentality as well, people from Nordic countries don't like high national debts because they are seen as neoliberal and risky

[turbid dome]

It's here as well. It's unironically a problem of people not understanding the national debt, seems they need to improve the education system so they can learn that

[manic juniper]

How recent is the national debt in USA

[turbid dome]

also when you do the austerity they're advocating for that's a key part of neoliberalism

[tender vessel]

Literacy rates are important nevertheless. Trust me, I've seen a lot here in Egypt.

[turbid dome]

wdym recent

[manic juniper]

In Finland it didn't exist before 2020

[turbid dome]

yup

[turbid dome]

Here we've had a national debt since Andrew Jackson

[manic juniper]

It's not about that at all

They say it's about not having homeworks but only doing exercises at school, that's inaccurate as well

The main quality used to be accessibility, it offered the highest quality education possible to all

[tender vessel]

Alikum Assalam. 🤍
You're most welcome! ✨

[manic juniper]

This is opposed to Romania where there are elite schools or classes, and there are average ones that are much worse in quality, and then there is the very bottom

[analog hound]

Irrelevant question, do you hate Russians as a Fin?

[manic juniper]

Before even people with learning disabilities performed well and didn't slow down the class because of tutors and learning material available to them and specially tailored to them

[manic juniper]

No

[velvet ridge]

Rusia

[analog hound]

Shukran!

[analog hound]

Привет

[cedar bridge]

When you live in debt, it doesn't display stability

[manic juniper]

Now it's kind of shit, people with disabilities slow down classes, perform worse, and they worsen other classmates' performances because teachers have to work with what they have at their disposal

[tender vessel]

Yeah! They say that too.
It's nice to never meet that annoying kid in class that reminds the teacher to give homework. Lol.

[cedar bridge]

Stability is essential in any system

[turbid dome]

Also national debt is good depending on what it's spent on. Something like the military does not have good returns, whereas education and infrastructure will produce more money over time as a result of increased economic output

[velvet ridge]

Ебать ты русский

[analog hound]

What about the American educational system?

[left dew]

@analog hound Hey are you Russian girl?

[cedar bridge]

You woke up spontaneously

[manic juniper]

Well at least I got the best out of it while growing up, I'm glad I didn't grow up in this environment

[tender vessel]

Do you mean high quality education is affordable in Finland?

[analog hound]

Нет
My ex was Russian and taught me some words

[cedar bridge]

Depends on mentality

[analog hound]

No, I am Greek

[cedar bridge]

Educated people may not want to work efficiently

[left dew]

Do you know Russian?

[manic juniper]

No because it's free regardless, the difference was having more tutors and more aids in place to help people with learning disabilities or generally performing worse

[velvet ridge]

Like Cristiano Ronaldo had a ex russian

[analog hound]

I used to learn also

[cedar bridge]

Russian speaking people are everywhere

[manic juniper]

If before you had one tutor for every kid with disabilities now you have one tutor for an entire class' disabled people

[analog hound]

Yes, Irina Shayk

[cedar bridge]

Make disabled people go to special schools, life is unfair

[manic juniper]

There aren't as many as there used to be

And they aren't as good as they used to be

[cedar bridge]

But if they got nothing to do with mental disability, then kids may go to public schools

[velvet ridge]

You re maybe football player

[cedar bridge]

You still can move probably

If they can't move at all, then yeah go to special school or be self taught or home schooled

[analog hound]

No I am not
I do Tae Kwon Do and Kick boxing 😂

[analog hound]

But his name was Dimitri

[manic juniper]

When did Dimitri become Irina

[velvet ridge]

Nice 👍🙂

[velvet ridge]

Probably he is gay

[manic juniper]

@dapper laurel has to be cultural at this point

[cedar bridge]

Ronaldo can afford being gay

[analog hound]

😂😂
Christiano Ronaldo had an ex called Irina
My ex is called Dimitri, both are Russian

[cedar bridge]

[analog hound]

Спасибо!

[velvet ridge]

Спасибо вам за службу!

[manic juniper]

What does he look like

[analog hound]

I don't know what the last word means
I only know some words

[manic juniper]

The only Dimitri I know used to create fakes of real artworks

[analog hound]

Tall, brown hair, brown eyes but he talks in greek with a bit of a russian accent

[analog hound]

I used Duolingo and my ex to learn some Russian, I know how to read but of course I don't understand everything, only some

[velvet ridge]

Wait

Are u real gay?

[manic juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/scary-deathclaw-drook-mene-друг-gif-11686560

[cedar bridge]

@analog hound She's female

[velvet ridge]

A

Pzdc🤣🤣🤣

[cedar bridge]

Look at her profile picture

[analog hound]

I am a girl 😂 and an Orthodox Christian

[velvet ridge]

Lan pora spat

[cedar bridge]

[analog hound]

Dmitry are you Russian too?

[cedar bridge]

Apparently so

Born and bred in Russia

I live in Russia

It's like a duck joke...

[analog hound]

Do I look like a man in the photo?
I should change it 😂

[cedar bridge]

If the bird makes sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, behaves like a duck... Then jt js a duck

He is just inattentive

You are gorgeous 😉

But it is just too dark

[manic juniper]

No it's just really dark

It's difficult to tell there is a person in the first place

[cedar bridge]

Make use of pictures with bright background

You sure have some

[analog hound]

Soo you are Russian but not originally from Russia?

[analog hound]

Большое спасибо!

[analog hound]

True 😂

[cedar bridge]

I am just joking that I'm tired of Russia and Russian mentality cliches

I would rather distinguish myself as a resident of Earth than a country

Humanity is messed up anyway

But yes by citizenship criteria, I am Russian

[tender vessel]

I see. Well trained teachers are also important. I guess that's also an element in Finland's excellent education.
Honestly, to improve education in the world, we need a different philosophy. I hate how the most widely used approach around the world is based on rote memorization and standardized testing.
Each subject must be treated and taught differently, and definitely tested differently as well.

[turbid dome]

Very bad and racist, especially considering the resources. Also expensive af to do anything beyond trade school

[analog hound]

A citizen of the world

[manic juniper]

It used to be like that, and it used to be possible with enough funds and investments in it

[turbid dome]

unless your mentality is that prioritizing profits is better than maintaining an educated workforce, idk why you would defund your education

[analog hound]

I was talking about that with my cousin who lives in Manhattan

[turbid dome]

yeah, Manhattan is cool but i could never survive there, insane place

[cedar bridge]

US education is expensive just as their healthcare

[manic juniper]

Isn't that κοσμοπολίτης

[turbid dome]

true

[cedar bridge]

Inaccessible for the poor

[analog hound]

Yesss
It has 2 meanings, that one and it is also a person who has travelled in many countries
I am impressed

[cedar bridge]

Public schools depend on cost of average local land

[turbid dome]

speaking of healthcare, @manic juniper I got my travel health insurance and I was surprised to see no out of pocket costs and the plan is even cheaper than expected. Is this what you europeans are used to?

[manic juniper]

What is travel health insurance

[cedar bridge]

Im not used to decent public healthcare

[turbid dome]

yup, combine that with historic redlining and it's bad

[analog hound]

We, Greeks always value a stranger who knows some things in our language

[cedar bridge]

Eveything done out of my taxes is uncomfortable to me, I go to private doctors

[turbid dome]

Health insurance for a country you're not in permanently that includes insurance for transport back in case of extreme emergency

[manic juniper]

It's one of the most meaningful languages when it comes to science

[cedar bridge]

In some workplaces they have healthcare insurance, but it varies

[manic juniper]

Ah, no people just take a plane or a train headed somewhere and then the rest happens

[turbid dome]

wdym

[manic juniper]

Oftentimes it's anywhere from 24€ to 92€

And they don't care about healthcare

[turbid dome]

for an emergency?

[manic juniper]

That's the price of a flight

[turbid dome]

It's that cheap?

[manic juniper]

At least these are the cheapest and most expensive prices I paid to travel within Europe via plane

Most of the times it's closer to mid 30s€

But I had some 70€ up to 92€ flights

[cedar bridge]

[analog hound]

I think that's the best solution
Here in public hospitals, even though our health system is decent, we have many problems such as lack of medical staff

[turbid dome]

wtf, it's $200 for me to fly to chicago

[analog hound]

Mostly in medicine

[manic juniper]

Biology and anatomy as well

[turbid dome]

Booking last minute it's between $150-$300 to get a plane to dallas

[manic juniper]

If you know a couple of Latin and Greek words you can understand many dinosaur names

[cedar bridge]

Yeah, health can detoriate if you wait in long queue

[turbid dome]

do you use the main airport or a rural airport?

[analog hound]

Exactly

[manic juniper]

Similarly, if you book last minute it's around 200 to 300€ even within the same country

[manic juniper]

What's the difference

[turbid dome]

Like Helsinki or a nowhere airport

[manic juniper]

I use the closest airport or the one with the cheapest flight

[turbid dome]

Wondering if that affects it

[manic juniper]

Any that is available

[analog hound]

What about flights to Finland

[cedar bridge]

Finland is a major hub

[manic juniper]

I took many trains to the South just to leave

[cedar bridge]

Same as Turkey

[manic juniper]

Depends from where, it's 30-70€

[turbid dome]

here the only viable airport within 100 miles is small, only big airport is dallas and that's 6 hours away

[manic juniper]

If you're in the Baltic Sea you can take the Estonian boat service

It's reliable, cheap, and most of all... Estonian

[turbid dome]

So that may explain it, a ton of business execs using the small amount of seats here

[manic juniper]

Probably the best feature

[cedar bridge]

I can't travel anymore with Russian citizenship bc getting EU tourist type visa is complicated

[turbid dome]

why do you like estonians so much

[cedar bridge]

[manic juniper]

Not anymore

[turbid dome]

what happened

[manic juniper]

But I still respect the lore

[analog hound]

Let's say Greece
Do you know?
I've been to Norway but I don't know how much we paid

[cedar bridge]

Baltic States are rusofobs

[manic juniper]

Isn't Russia Baltophobic

[manic juniper]

Let me check

[cedar bridge]

How does it display?

It's my first time hearing it

[manic juniper]

I saw many hateful comments towards them on socials, calling them chihuahuas or part of Russia

[analog hound]

I think most Europeans right now because of the war

[manic juniper]

Seems expensive, over 170€

Nvm 89€

That's cheap

But it would be my second most expensive intra-European flight

[cedar bridge]

That's just stupid nationalism and state propaganda, major audience be like that towards all unfriendly countries to Russia + there are a lot of bots

It's hard to distinguish real people from bots

[analog hound]

That's how we did it to go to Oslo
We stopped at Frankfurt

[analog hound]

What's the first?

[turbid dome]

I just checked and for some reason only around $500 to fly to Finland from here round trip... like wtf why is it cheap

[manic juniper]

Helsinki to Greece (where?) at 87€

[cedar bridge]

Probably state subsidies and tax returns

[analog hound]

That's very cheap regarding the distance

[cedar bridge]

Transport policy of EU probably encourages cheap flights

[turbid dome]

yeah, especially considering the long stretch was DFW to HEL, that's a long flight for that little

[analog hound]

From Greece to the US is approximately 1000 euros

[cedar bridge]

it's past 1 am, gonna go

[manic juniper]

Barcelona to Gran Canaria

At 92€

[cedar bridge]

[turbid dome]

$800 here for me

[analog hound]

Спокойной ночи!

[turbid dome]

Interestingly, the cheapest domestic flight's ive seen here are a direct to vegas and houston

[analog hound]

For me it is 330€ to go to Helsinki, non stop, with Aegean (very good airline, I have a gold card)

[manic juniper]

Thessaloniki to Helsinki at 87€, opinions?

If only Latvia wasn't fucking around Rail Baltica would be in a much better status

[turbid dome]

Rail? Imagine. Let the car companies lobby the government more please

[analog hound]

That's very cheap
But I live in Attica 😂

[turbid dome]

They need to build more trucks

[manic juniper]

They wanted to build an hyperloop or however it's called between Finland and Estonia

[turbid dome]

Can i watch i love infrastructure

[manic juniper]

The last thing I want is to be stuck in the traffic below the Baltic Sea

Anywhere but the Baltic Sea

[manic juniper]

Why is every Greek region name iconic

Even those that aren't part of Greece anymore

[turbid dome]

Whitechapel, London?

[analog hound]

Glad you like the names

[turbid dome]

I mean, they hyperloop is a cool but very dumb idea so i'd rather it be something less dumb but yk

[analog hound]

Are you Jack the Ripper?

[turbid dome]

Nah I just think London is bloody unbearable oi mate tea innit

jk it wasn't bad there they were just hard to understand

[analog hound]

I went to London this summer to go to Lana Del Rey's concert, 1,5 weeks
Great trip!

[turbid dome]

I can understand non-natives more than the British

[turbid dome]

oh nice, i haven't been in years

stopping through heathrow later this year though

also no Helsinki stop on the way there sadly

[manic juniper]

Even Indians? How

[analog hound]

Where are you going to?

[turbid dome]

Hard to understand but better than the British

[turbid dome]

Studying in Poland

[analog hound]

Niceee

[analog hound]

I like the british accent but not the heavy one

[analog hound]

How so?

[manic juniper]

Do people only mean the accent from England

[turbid dome]

I think the Irish is fine

[manic juniper]

Because the other accents from Britain are completely different

[turbid dome]

They're all a bit hard to listen to but English is the worst

[hidden shore]

@feral river did you apply a number ship already for ccp?

[analog hound]

I have a Scottish friend and when I first listened to his voice, I couldn't understand him 😂

[manic juniper]

I can understand Scottish accent the most unless it goes on autopilot

[analog hound]

I can understand him now but he has a very strong accent

[manic juniper]

It's very predictable until they start speaking as if they are compressing words in .7z in real time

[turbid dome]

For me scottish and Irish are both fine but yeah, when they ramble it gets bad

[serene isle]

Hello
Where are you from

[analog hound]

Greece

[analog hound]

My friend says that it gets worse when the person is drunk
The more drunk you are, the worse the accent is

[turbid dome]

what is this

[analog hound]

You have a pet snake?

[turbid dome]

probably true

[analog hound]

Where are you from? 🤗

[manic juniper]

No this is one I caught in my garage

I freed it the next day

[analog hound]

It is a small snake, probably harmless

You live in the countryside or a small city?

[manic juniper]

Yes, however this grows to one or two metres in length, this is just a juvenile

[manic juniper]

I used to live in the forest next to a "city", it's called as such but only has 600 people

Some 2 km away from it so I could get there on my bike or on foot

[analog hound]

Soooo heavy snow during winter?

But peaceful

[manic juniper]

Yes

Mostly peaceful

A bear once vandalised my outer walls and the door

I had to get security cams and restore the wall, I bought a new door too

[analog hound]

I like it

[analog hound]

Oh my God 😂

We have cats, you have bears

[manic juniper]

We do too, but bigger (lynxes)

I guess you might have these as well

[analog hound]

I've seen one

[manic juniper]

But they must be even more rare

[analog hound]

Yes

We have bears and wolves but not in my region 😂

[manic juniper]

Greece used to have lions in historical times

Can you imagine if you still had them?

Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey had lions

[serene isle]

I'm from Iraq and you

[analog hound]

Yes we actually did

[manic juniper]

Did you make your pfp lighter 😭

[analog hound]

Only in zoos

[analog hound]

For people to understand that I am a female 😂

[high raven]

Greece still has bears at least, they're mostly only found in Mykonos though and usually accompanied by a twink or two

[analog hound]

Greece
As-salamu alaykum

Yes

And Santorini too

[serene isle]

Nice to meet you
ealaykum alsalam
I'm a college student, a fitness instructor, a boxer, and you.

[high raven]

How many times have you sent that message

[serene isle]

Are you talking to me? 🤔😕

[serene isle]

I don't remember that.
I think I was getting to know different people, so I wrote that for them, but not focused on that, because I don't use this program very often, and I know the people that I talk to every time, because they're new people every time.

[analog hound]

I am a high school student, in September I will start my last year of high school, I like the gym also and I am a Tae Kwon Do athlete, also practicing Kick Boxing sometimes

[serene isle]

Very nice
I practiced kickboxing as a child, but I had a car accident, so then I practiced boxing and fitness.
What are your hobbies?

[analog hound]

I like reading, I listen to music, I play the violin and I sing (I used to take voice lessons)
Apart from working out

[analog hound]

Oh my God
Hope you are ok now!

I practice Tae Kwon Do on a championship level (this year I stopped participating in competitions because of school) and Kick Boxing is a new addition

[serene isle]

I'm fine, thank you. 🌹

[manic juniper]

Did you ever beat the shit out of someone outside of sports?

[analog hound]

No I haven't
It is an oath with my coach
You never use it unless you have to really defend yourself

[serene isle]

Very nice
I wish success for you
I love sports too
Most of my time is busy with college and sports
Unfortunately sports in my country do not get support, especially martial arts or individual sports
I had ambitions in childhood, but now developing the professional and educational side is the most important so that I get a career that secures a future
What about you

[analog hound]

Of course it is

I want to study Law but I will keep sports as a part of my life

[analog hound]

But the wiser thing to do in that kind of situation is to run

[analog hound]

Shukran!

[analog hound]

It's sad that your country doesn't really value sports, with sports you can also express yourself and escape reality when reality is hard

[manic juniper]

What about before taking the oath

[analog hound]

It was the first thing that I was taught when I started, when I was 10

No, I don't use violence

[manic juniper]

Understood, I was wondering if you ever got into a fight

[serene isle]

The problem in my country is that young people need money to have a family
I was a good boxer and a fitness trainer for a lot of young people, but that didn't support me in Habatab.
I've developed a lot of young people around me, but I haven't developed myself, so now I want to develop myself and my English.
😕😕😕
What about you

[analog hound]

I've been through a lot of sports, I used to be a swimming athlete for 5 years, I've tried basketball, gymnastics, volleyball for 2 years and dance (ballet, hip hop and break dance, also for 2 years)

[analog hound]

It is good to focus on yourself sometimes 🤗
We all need that
Here we value sports but many leave them behind to focus on their career

[high raven]

That's very impressive, what a fun childhood

[analog hound]

It's true

I am blessed!

[analog hound]

Never, once there was a kid in my Tae Kwon Do class, a boy, that told me I didn't have a place here because I am a girl
We solved that in a match, because I won

[serene isle]

One of the most beautiful things in life is sports because it protects people from disease and crime and it is the place that helps people improve with time but neither the government nor the people care about that
Everyone wants to marry daughters to people who have a lot of money
Everyone supports people with money
And most sports don't give money
And even studying doesn't give money
I've lost a lot of my years on education and sports, but I haven't had any support because I don't have the money.
Unfortunately most of my country loves money and I hate this thing
Tell me about your country

[analog hound]

We are the creators of the Olympics

[serene isle]

The reason for leaving sports is not because they don't want sports. Some young people who were trained by religion left sports because their parents don't like sports because they don't understand the meaning and benefit of sports

[analog hound]

Life can be harsh, we always chase money, we have made our life all about money
I was born in a family that is kind of wealthy, upper middle class, so I had a lot of opportunities but I am trying not to idolise money, that what my religion is teaching us
I want to make money by something I love and give my children the opportunities I have, private school, holidays, sports etc. and even more

[analog hound]

That's a factor too

[serene isle]

Very nice
Me too

[serene isle]

Yes

[analog hound]

In Greece we have a saying
Νους υγιής εν σώματι υγιή
It means, to have a "healthy" mind and also a healthy body

You feed your mind with knowledge and your body by exercising

In Ancient Greece sports weren't only a hobby, they were a lifestyle

[serene isle]

Very nice
Your words are very beautiful

[serene isle]

Inshahallah 🌹

[analog hound]

For men of course
Women were not involved in sports, only in Sparta that was a thing

[analog hound]

Thank you!
The words of our ancestors

[serene isle]

Greece is a country with its ancient history and I think you are a wonderful and cultured person

[analog hound]

When the Olympics were happening, if a war was going on it had to stop until the Olympics were over

[analog hound]

Shukran!!
You too

[serene isle]

Thank you 🌹

[serene isle]

How to spend your time during the day

[analog hound]

And when the winners were returning to their cities, they didn't get in the city from the main entrance, but his people were destroying a part of the city's walls for the athlete to get in

[analog hound]

Exercising, reading, playing video games sometimes with my sister, going out with friends (but not in clubs or places like that) etc.

[manic juniper]

As it should be

[analog hound]

Kiitos

[manic juniper]

Mens sana in corpore sano (in Latin)

[neon sierra]

Hello theree

[serene isle]

Very nice
After I get back from the university, I go to the gym, then I go shopping, then I go out with my friends, and then I read different books, sometimes I travel with my friends.
I don't have a fixed routine
Sometimes I go out to areas with environmental pollution to measure air pollution and give lectures on human development and environmental pollution Being active in protecting the environment from pollution
How is studying in your country

[analog hound]

The Romans were deeply influenced by us

[manic juniper]

Not gonna lie, our ancestors seemed borderline insane by today's standards

[analog hound]

You are extremely interesting

[neon sierra]

Just said free Palestine free Kurdistan and Free Palestine and in general chat and it became hot in there. anyways i just realised the only reaction i got was from the free kurdistan part

[manic juniper]

Yeah free Palestine in this server is popular enough you could equate it to "hello" and no one would notice

[serene isle]

Thank you
I'm just a normal and simple person
Tell me about you, please.

[neon sierra]

dayumm

afghanistan is too unknown for them to even have a reaction

[analog hound]

Our university entrance exams are very difficult and we are preparing for 2 years, extra lessons after school and a lot of studying
I want to study Law in the university of Athens, one of the most prestigious universities in Greece

[neon sierra]

and kurdistan is like a 💣

[manic juniper]

If you want an even worse reaction type "Free Western Sahara" during prime Moroccan activity

[fresh flower]

Wagwan chat

[fresh flower]

Oh

What's going on here💀

[neon sierra]

some people have so weird reactions i mean like they wouldnt even have a reaction like that if i mentioned saddam

[neon sierra]

noted

lets see what happens then

[neon sierra]

going around and saying free country names

[analog hound]

I also take part in environmental activities, such as tree planting, with the school
But I also take part in the MUN that my school does every year

[manic juniper]

Free Serbia

[fresh flower]

Ragebaiting? Say "free Israel"

[analog hound]

Jag vet inte

[neon sierra]

my grandad claims to have planted more than 10k trees, i dont believe him

[fresh flower]

Varför inte?

[neon sierra]

no i mean them for real

I said free palestine free kurdistan and free afghanistan

only reaction i got was from the kurdistan part

[fresh flower]

Around Turks??????

Insane

[manic juniper]

Not just Turks

[analog hound]

I was just talking to Ali, I don't know what COWLII is saying

[neon sierra]

i said it in general chat, I had just joined the chat and then i realised they were arabs and turks i think

[manic juniper]

I can't even mention them because... They literally search their own country's name

[neon sierra]

everyone reacts not only certain people

[serene isle]

Very nice
Law is a respectable field of specialization, but not all countries respect the law, unfortunately
I am the first in my class
But I didn't get any privileges from the university or the country but everyone respects me and everyone expresses me that I am a genius person but I am a simple and normal person 😅😅😅
I like to develop myself, and I'm now studying about satellite pollution measurement, and I think I'm the first person in my city to do that, but I think there are others in my country who are studying it.
What things would you like to develop
I wish to develop my English so that I can complete my studies outside my country
Inshahallah

[manic juniper]

It's insane how hated Kurdistan is

[neon sierra]

well i cant search for kine because it is getting mentioned too often to even keep up probably

[fresh flower]

No one wants to give yall your own country, they'd rather die

[serene isle]

Where are you from

[neon sierra]

it is not about giving land, it is about respecting one anothers culture

they dont have to give us land to respect us

[manic juniper]

I met plenty of nationalists but never "I search my own country's name to defend it"-level of nationalist before joining this server

[manic juniper]

Funland

[fresh flower]

Arab countries and respecting minorities doesn't go together

[neon sierra]

they treat us like immigrants in our own homeland. doesnt let us teach writings and language in their countries. forcing us one another’s nationality and doesnt let us be ourselves

[serene isle]

Very nice
Nice to meet you
I think it's cold and beautiful there, not like my country, it's like an oven. 😅😅😅
How is life there

[neon sierra]

not only them, even the turks and Iran do the same

anyways

freedom for all the souls under oppression

[manic juniper]

I didn't meet an anti-Kurdish Iranian yet

Yet

[neon sierra]

yet

[manic juniper]

It's ok, quite expensive and living there sucks during winter, everything looks black and white and it's always dark without anything to do

[neon sierra]

i mean idk i havent met many iranians but their government is crazy

[manic juniper]

Summer is quite the opposite, always sunny, quite bright and colourful, I just dislike the endless armadas of mosquitoes

[neon sierra]

Free them as well

[serene isle]

I am Iraqi and I know a lot about this topic no one has been wronged from both sides

[manic juniper]

I once saw a meme about middle eastern nationalism in a nutshell

[analog hound]

Are you considering leaving Iraq forever?
I am an excellent student also but the pressure is high
I wish you the best!
Also the material you're studying sounds very interesting

[manic juniper]

It's one of those groups with intersections, Iranians and Turks hate Arabs, Arabs and Turks hate Iranians, Iranians and Arabs hate Turks, all three hate Kurds

[analog hound]

Suomi

[manic juniper]

Don't know if it's true but it's easy to understand this way

[high raven]

That sounds about right

[manic juniper]

You could probably replace Kurds with Romas in Europe
And replace the three groups with idk South Slavs

[serene isle]

I think white is the most beautiful thing in life so I love snow a lot but how is studying there

[neon sierra]

idk abt turks hating on iraxnians tho but uhm rest seems valid

[manic juniper]

Or Russians, Poles and Ukrainians. That fits perfectly

[neon sierra]

kurdish nationalists are toxic as well (those on the internet, mostly tiktok)

[analog hound]

Greeks and Turks
Together since 1453

[manic juniper]

Yes we had one here

Banned for pedophilia

[neon sierra]

how much does a mega pussi cost in finland

[manic juniper]

Eh studying is fine, it feels a bit lonely and impersonal but I liked it this way

[neon sierra]

i mean i think the literal issue is nationalism

[manic juniper]

Unironically don't buy one in years

[manic juniper]

It is

[neon sierra]

that’s amazing

[serene isle]

Thanks my friend
You too
I can't develop myself and my language in this country, I wasted many years of my life because of the injustice from the government and the behaviors, customs and traditions of families and society. I want to develop myself and get a doctorate in order to develop my country in the future.
What about you

[manic juniper]

Last time it was something like 2-3€

3€ if they are trying to steal from you

[serene isle]

I've been used to loneliness since childhood and I think she's the only friend who will never be away from me. 😂😂😂
Creativity comes from loneliness
What are you studying?

[analog hound]

It is a difficult situation but it mostly depends on the person and you are willing to get better and develop, that's the important thing

[neon sierra]

paper pussi bags are probably cheaper tho

[manic juniper]

Holy shit this pussi is extremely expensive

[neon sierra]

that mega pussi bag of chips looks yummy

i should try to sleep now

so I wake up early

[high raven]

"Right taste", I bet it is

[serene isle]

I wish I could just get a chance.
I don't want to lose years of my life without benefit here
I'm sorry if I said something that bothers you, I don't like to bother anyone with my words.

[manic juniper]

No sleep for me, Syphon Filter 3 won't complete itself

[analog hound]

I am thinking of leaving Greece
I want to study here for my first degree and then go abroad for my master's degree
But if I manage to get into Law School, God first, I might find something to do here, like take the exam to become a prosecutor or a judge or even a diplomat

[high raven]

Are you moving to Sweden, Germany or Canada?

[analog hound]

Your English are great!

[analog hound]

No no, don't worry
You didn't say anything wrong

[manic juniper]

Where would you move

[serene isle]

I'm good at writing only because studying at university is in English

[manic juniper]

I heard Greeks enjoy settling alongside coasts

We have a coast on the West and there are many Swedes living there too

[analog hound]

I am not sure yet
But maybe Europe

[serene isle]

I don't know the system of study there, but I care about how to get a seat at the college you want first and then think about the next step.
This is my advice.
I used to think about everything before until I lost my ambition and many years of my life just thinking without any benefit

[analog hound]

Yes but the important thing is that you are
I wrote previously when I was having a conversation with our Fin friend that I want to learn 5-6 languages
I already speak 3, French because my school is french but I am a student in the greek section, but with 5-6 hours of french lessons every week
Already trying to learn basic Swedish

[serene isle]

I haven't traveled to any European country yet
I hope that in the future to complete my doctoral studies, but I do not have a certificate of English language proficiency except
Why

[analog hound]

Of course!
I can't stand people that always make plans without even starting
That's why when someone is asking me I tell them that first of all I have to get into university and then become what I am dreaming of becoming

[serene isle]

Very nice
I wish you success
You're really so much better than me. 👍🌹👍

[analog hound]

No, don't say that

[analog hound]

Shukran!
I wish success to you too!

[serene isle]

Very nice
I hope the good news about you tells me about the future, my friend. 👍
And I hope to achieve what I want too
Inshahallah

[serene isle]

Thank you 👍🌹👍

[analog hound]

It's getting late here and I am feeling sleepy, so see you tomorrow!
Καληνύχτα! Good night!

[analog hound]

You too! God bless you!

[serene isle]

Good night my friend

[manic juniper]

Goodnight

[analog hound]

[thorny steeple]

[lime cobalt]

Anyone here into biology? I’m currently interested in cloning hehe. DNA has a fixed biological clock, so cloning old DNA usually won’t live long unless there’s a discovery that can reset or extend that biological clock.

[slender coral]

Their god doesn't get offended easily I guess.

[thorny steeple]

yh bullshit sorry

[thorny steeple]

so neither does ur god?

[slender coral]

I know a god that gets offended so easily that he makes his followers blow themselves up in people 😅

[slender coral]

I'm non-religious.
