Some of that is actually interesting trivia, I recall. Westernization of Russia was a wild time, to put it mildly.

It is a damn shame Peter the Great didn't make the Russians adopt the Latin alphabet. Our alphabet is the one true alphabet and all must learn it.

muslim clothing is incredibly functional in the middle-east and for most of north africa/the sahel? loose layers and sweat-wicking fabrics?

what do you think would be better to wear in the fucking desert peninsula? denim jeans with an oxford button-down or a shalwah and kufiya?

honestly such a dumb comment. these cultures have dressed this way for thousands of years, even pre-dating the moral aspects of islam and 'covering up'. of course they're functional in the fucking high desert and baking sun. if you don't wear 'functional' clothing in such extreme environments, you get heat stroke or you die. of COURSE their style and fashion has developed to be at the very least 'functional', ffs.

some periods of western fashion have been almost perversely non-functional by the way. corsets and giant powdered wigs? forms of make-up that come with risks of toxic poisoning? even european royalty in the early-modern era wore shit that literally worsened their health. elizabeth I of england continually powdered her face with rudimentary make-up/foundation that was neurotoxic. how is that 'functional'? even the casual 'norm' of today, wearing denim jeans for example, is far from 'functional': denim-wear and jeans originally had a 'function' only for workmen and blue-collar labourers. there isn't really much that is 'functional' about an upper-middle-class woman in manhattan wearing $300 designer denim jeans.

seriously, dumb, dumb dumb.

America has hot places too. I think the bigger issue is that the Islamic world is so inward gazing and hostile to everything else that they reject anything not from there down to their clothing. I don't even care to list the ways the Islamic world is out of line with the rest of the world.

americans survive in 'hot places' by running AC and using modern conveniences to overpower nature. islamic societies have dressed that way since before the invention of electricity. going from a shopping mall into your car whilst dressed in synthetic nylons is not 'natural' or 'functional'. people in phoenix, AZ survive 'against nature', not with it. make a real fucking point.

also muslims live in many western countries without giving a shit how the locals/non-muslims dress. you are being hysterical. nowhere outside of the conservative islamic republics do people care about dress. most anecdotes about that stuff is just standard 'old generation tut-tutting at the permissiveness of youth' stuff. western grannies don't like seeing teenage girls twerk either. old people moan and young people shock. what's new?

turkey and indonesia are some of the most populous muslim nations on earth and their dress codes are extremely flexible. even fucking iran had people in jeans and women in casual-wear in the 1970s. remember that period when we, the west, deposed their relaxed, elected, legitimate leaders and destablized their society so that the clerics could step into the power vacuum?

you are ignorant. travel outside of the USA ffs. no one is going to cajole you based on your dress in turkey. turkish women go about, uncovered. they drink and go to cocktail bars in stilettos and revealing dresses. the muslim world is very, very big.

Cyrillic is not that difficult. I've been in practice off and on enough to spontaneously recognize a few words and be able to "read out" others. It's kind of astonishing when it happens after being so long used to the ABCs. I don't mentally convert them to Latin characters first, which saves a ton of time.

I'd probably be very basically fluent by now if I still played the odd game with one of my Russian buddies and his crowd. Same with Korean if I stuck with TKD from childhood. I've got the Pimsleur sitting around, may hang up a couple worn out hobbies and give that a go.

Isn't modern business dress basically descended from Victorian evening wear?

appropriation discourse is frequently very, very stupid. it doesn't reflect on 'ethnics' (wow what a term) but on misguided and muddle-headed liberals.

if the 'appropriation' doesn't actually exclude or materially disadvantage the original 'owners', then it's of no moment whatsoever.

also there's something pretty sinister in the way you say 'multiculturalism can't work', then also criticise people for trying to integrate ...?

I have peaked in my bachelor life. Met a girl who is top 50 onlyfans. 100k+ dudes paying for pics, I boned her all day for free. No I'm not telling you guys who it is.

She showed me how it all works on there too. She employs about 12 girls who talk to all the guys and forward content requests to her. They're actually paid well & receive bonuses + commissions too. She has 0 direct interaction with any of the customers. Also has a lawyer, financial advisor, works with an advertising company & a web scraper that sends out dmca's - the top girls trade followers etc. Then there's her other social media channels she has to maintain. It's quite a business.

She also gets a lot of weird requests. There's a guy who tips her 1k$+ weekly to show her toes in a short live.

Feels like I crossed off a bucketlist item I didn't know existed. Sex was 10/10. She's also batshit though but that's kinda expected. Way up in the danger zone on the hot/crazy scale.

She's still early 20s and her stocks and investment account was 500k. Made me question wtf I'm doing.

She did say her libido has gone way down due to the work and her last relationship actually kinda blew up because of that & some other things ( little/no sex). Did not expect that. There's a lot of disgusting dudes throwing a lot of money at her too.

I wouldn't ever date her. Anti vax and all. We actually had a fight over that when we met so bit of a surprise that we ended up going to a hotel lmao

Also fake tits feel much better than I thought they would

The 'It's Just a Dress' incident was a bit of a socmed fiasco. I remember some people being upset, some not. Looking it up, https://www.glamour.com/story/qipao-pro … y-response talks about it well. There's mention of the lower left pic in tweet: https://twitter.com/daumkeziah/status/9 … y-response that looked a little "ching-chong-haha" to some as well. I didn't think she intended that to be the message, but whatever. This is peak pre-covid, flavor-of-the-month controversy.

There's very little contextual relation between that and a black guy wearing a suit. Africa having been the subject of intense colonialism, and black people born, growing up, and living in very western or westernized countries.

Mixed sparks of support for and outrage over The Dress, the press goading people on, useless speculation as to the wearer's true intentions, bear little resemblance to cultural appropriation in its usual, unscrupulous sense.

This is a very of-small-brain hill for you to die on, dilbert. Very evocative of "just why" conversations I've had with Republicans.

She's a nutcase. Said she wanted my babies while we fucked. Also said she wanted to donate all her money to me lol

I have a good career and a well paying job, respectfully declined. My security clearance may also be revoked if i got involved too much, she has a bit of a criminal history and other shit. I helped her out a little on investment strategy and some personal stuff instead.

Her last bf was apparently an unemployed useless cnt who got all expenses paid for a year and a half. Now he's stalking her with a diff phone number every few weeks

I turned down sex with a hot Korean chick on Sunday. This was after I almost killed myself by diving into a pool headfirst. It took a chunk of my scalp out, including some hair. I have a huge mark on my forehead and into my (robust) hairline.

She ended up texting me at 5:15am yesterday to thank me for being such a gentleman (?) and asking if I want to see her again. I have a date set for tomorrow night.

Being a gentleman is turning down drunken sex after getting her naked in the hot tub? The bar is set very low these days. Tsk tsk

I also have an in-person interview at an aerospace company on Thursday. The girl above said she'd help me apply concealer on Thursday morning but I think im just going to deal with it. I don't want to pull a Rudy Guliani and have makeup dripping down my face in the middle of a job interview.
