FYI Czechia is not considered eastern Europe, but central Europe. Sorry for the smartassery, but I needed to mention that. 😅
"Former Warsaw pact countries" doesn't have the same ring to it
To be honest I was more making a joke about the CzechHunter brand of gay porn. Pretty big staple to find a dude with that "haunted look" and then offer him money. Not specific to it that studio but the first that came to mind. But point well taken
my experience is that they get lumped in with either eastern europe or central europe depending on the context and whether on not it supports what someone says. for americans, they're a lot like Virginia or Kentucky where "are they part of the south" will depend on who you ask, and the context you ask in
To illustrate your point, I’m from Georgia, Kentucky is part of the south, Virginia ain’t. And while I’m at it neither is Texas. Texas is its own thing and Virginia is DC
as a virginian by birth i find this stance INSANE haha. i generally go by "suceded? south."
the thing to understand is that just as ther are multiple americas, there are multiple Virginias. NoVA being lumped in with DC? sure. anything south and west of Culpepper? what?
virginia beach and reachmond is also its own thing distinct from DC, SWVA, and Southside.
but Ketucky is SUPER different from much of the rest of the south by my experience in southen appalachia, georgia, alabama, and louisana.
texas and florida are both interesting cases of both being Sutouthern and Their Own Thing
Just to be clear I ain’t got a problem with Virginians in any way, but every one of yall I’ve met seems more “Atlantic” than southern. But I’m sure the closer you get to West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee the more that wanes.
Kentucky gets in because both bluegrass, bourbon, the derby, and because Tennessee vouches for them
You ain’t wrong about Florida either. The way I generally look at it is if you draw a line eastwards from the most southern part of the panhandle, everything north of that line is the south. The rest can be either corp or Caribbean.
As for Texas… they have a lot of southern qualities I ain’t gonna front, but there are just so many ways they don’t fit. A Texan is always show offy compared to someone from say Alabama
nah for sure. didn't think you had issue. was just super happy it got to help us demonstrate to outsiders what i was originally saying about VA and KY. it is also reflective of my experiences of how people discuss Czechia. according to Italians, they're eastern. according to Poles they're central. ultimately, these distinctions are only useful in certain contexts that matter for how you're talking about the differences. ultimately, the conclusion is we, across the globe, are one people. our local cultures are also just that: local. i expect if you and i sat down to share spoonbread, our spoonbreads would taste different, but we'd understand the differences better than someone from Maryland or Delaware ever could
Word! We all the same people, and our differences make us all richer culturally!
Isn't that the guy from The Bear and Shameless?
I'd recon this was taken on the set of The Bear
Anyone else sick of these rich people shows about rich people restaurants? I would rather see a show about a lower middle class guy who works in a shitty diner. I don’t understand the appeal of all the rich people tv shows
Bob's Burgers is the show for you
Did you even watch the first season?
Drove me insane with my ex her choice of TV shows. It was always a bunch of rich people having rich people problems, that were only somewhat tangentially relatable to regular people.
Gilmore Girls, Ginny and Georgia, huge peeves of mine. No one lives that life except a very very select few, and here they are on camera trying to make us pity them
My wife watches This is us, Us, and these other shows where everyone is always made up, wearing designer clothing. Everyone lives in a big house that is always clean, the neighborhood is picturesque.
I tried to watch that show master of none but it annoyed me because even the dumb fat sidekick character was always dressed in expensive current fashion and all they did was rich people shit and complaining
Have…have you watched The Bear?
Don’t get me wrong, the Berzatto family had money, and some of their relations do. But…most of the characters are not wealthy, and the restaurant started as a local sandwich joint.
It’s a really good show, I recommend it. It’s like Ted Lasso but dark and depressing.
The Faks are the best part of the show.
Haunting should be the way we resolve our differences.
I was lost the first half of that episode before realizing what a haunting was. Brilliant execution
I'm not sure that The Bear really fits what you're complaining about here, but I love the complaint and agree with it in general, so upvoted your comment anyways. So much fiction nowadays is about rich people and "nepo babies", And life scenarios that are generally completely unattainable for most people. As if it wasn't already obvious enough that the majority of mass market fiction is created as some sort of escapist opioid for the peasants. The worst is the new "eat the rich" genre, that pretends to be criticizing, capitalism and wealth while simultaneously drooling over it the whole time.
He's got that sexy time, sexy time sadness.
S-s-sexy time, sexy time sadness, oh, oh oh oh ooooh!
Hey, 20 euros is 20 euros...
Or in the faces of Russian soldiers just before the FPV hits them.
He looks like he's about to smile to me.
