Isn't this more a case of self-loathing than rascism?
Or just not liking people invading your country?

[Josquius]

Indeed. Met quite a few Russian speaking Ukrainians, descended from Russians, that hated the Russians. Quite strange.

Parents play hide & seek with their toddler and strap a GroPro camera to his head:

Cute. Thought he was the one looking for a place to hide at first.
Damn dog.

Must be weird to watch your country die.

It's not going to die any time soon.  Putin got small chunks, but galvanized the rest of Ukraine against Russia.  If anything, he gave it a new lease on life.  Russia was slowly culturally absorbing Ukraine and subverting its government, before Maidan and Putin's retaliation wiped all that work away.  But while Ukraine may not die, it could very well remain in a persistent vegetative state due to oligarchs whose corruption is nothing short of treason.

I sorta meant the previous country dying.

When you're 9, such things are interesting, not weird or terrifying.

I dunno, I was sad.  Turns out I was right to be, given that without an ideological counterweight, the U.S. just kept drifting to the point where Donald Trump could still plausibly be elected president.  Whereas when we had a strong Soviet Union, we had civil rights, the Great Society, the EPA, a minimum wage that didn't suck, governmental infrastructure spending, a more equitable distribution of resources, mostly full employment most of the time, and so on and so forth.  We also had Vietnam and a justified fear of thermonuclear combat, but you take the sour with the sweet.

I think I'd rather be a gay black man today.

How often is normal to get a hair cut?
Thinking of getting one in March but 3 months seems too soon.

Whenever you feel like your hair is too long.

But roughly equally plausible to a Trump presidency is a Sanders presidency.

Which is...?



Another weird hair related issue- yesterday for some reason I got into an argument over whether it is normal for men to shave their armpits. I said no. 3 others said yes. WTF?
Since when has this been a thing?

When I was driving from Køge last night I saw something that I first thought was just a spark from the pantograph, then a lightning, then when the sky just continued to become brighter I figured it was something special. Turns out it was a meteorite, pretty cool.

I get a haircut about every three months and I'm kind of shaggy by the end of it.  Try every two months Squeeze. 

[Eddie Teach]

Which is...?

Subjective.

I probably get my hair cut about twice a year or so. I'm looking like a Beatle toward the end of it.

[LaCroix]

once a month if you want to maintain #style. I'm at once every two months, give a few weeks usually.

related, do you tip hair stylists more/same/less as waitresses?
