Honestly, all eastern European porn is sad. The girls are clearly hating what they are doing and they seem like they are doing it out of necessity.

[-] dick_fineman@discuss.online 3 points 8 hours ago

Well this hurt my heart.

FYI Czechia is not considered eastern Europe, but central Europe. Sorry for the smartassery, but I needed to mention that. 😅

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I’ve always considered everything east of the Berlin Wall to be Eastern Europe and everything west to be Western Europe. I’d never even heard of Central Europe as a distinct idea.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 hours ago

Considered by whom? Romanians?

[-] Bobbysaurus@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Everyone besides you it seems.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

— Czech people

Meanwhile, ¼ of Germany:

Depends who you ask and what the context is

Eastern Europe is a subregion of the European continent. As a largely ambiguous term, it has a wide range of geopolitical, geographical, ethnic, cultural and socio-economic connotations. Its eastern boundary is marked by the Ural Mountains, and its western boundary is defined in various ways.[1] Narrow definitions, in which Central and Southeast Europe are counted as separate regions, include Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.[2] In contrast, broader definitions include Moldova and Romania, but also some or all of the Balkans, the Baltic states, the Caucasus, and the Visegrád group.

"Former Warsaw pact countries" doesn't have the same ring to it

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 4 points 16 hours ago

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

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

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

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Word! We all the same people, and our differences make us all richer culturally!

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 18 hours ago

Isn't that the guy from The Bear and Shameless?

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 28 points 18 hours ago

I'd recon this was taken on the set of The Bear

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 7 hours ago

I liked The Menu though.

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Midnight Diner is the bomb.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Bob's Burgers is the show for you

Love me some belchers

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Becker is half set in a diner.

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 12 hours ago

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.

The only clips I’ve seen from the bear have a lot of fancy restaurant kitchen stuff

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah that's a fair point, it does have some of that wealth ogling going on. Although in that show since none of the characters are really that rich, it feels more like they're in the shadow of wealth rather than partaking in it. I give that a pass because, how could you tell a realistic modern story without having people in the shadow of wealth?

[-] PeacefulForest@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

It’s actually about his struggle having a successful restaurant despite not having money, amongst other thing’s

[-] dick_fineman@discuss.online 1 points 8 hours ago

I would enjoy a show about restaurants that serve rich people...

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 23 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 16 hours ago

The Faks are the best part of the show.

Haunting should be the way we resolve our differences.

[-] nnullzz@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I was lost the first half of that episode before realizing what a haunting was. Brilliant execution

I’ve heard there’s a lot of fancy cooking flashbacks

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Sure. And eventually, fancy cooking in the present. Still, humble beginnings for the restaurant. And humble existence for the characters: restaurant margins are very slim.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 16 points 17 hours ago

Did you even watch the first season?

Why would I? It looked just like the type of show im trying to avoid

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Its probably not what you think. It's themes have more to do with the stress and failures of the restaurant business. It's gritty in a way.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 18 hours ago

He's got that sexy time, sexy time sadness.

S-s-sexy time, sexy time sadness, oh, oh oh oh ooooh!

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Hey, 20 euros is 20 euros...

Or in the faces of Russian soldiers just before the FPV hits them.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

He looks like he's about to smile to me.
