@mjdxp I like your style, but I don't like all the moisture involved, so I just yell at it. Sometimes I kick it if it's one of those grey minitower thingies. It can be painful to kick a Mac Pro though, it's aluminum and pretty heavy 😅

Doesn't like cigarettes, but likes girls eating… geometric bodies? 😂
What's that in her hands? Looks like the thing they put French fries in, but it has what, pyramids in it? 🫠

@DotardTed Thank you for these kind words! I hope that we make it through and even if the country won't stay the same, at least we learn our lesson this time as people, as a nation. It's appalling that so many have to die in the process, especially the innocent ones who had nothing to do with it. I'm reading the news with a heavy heart.
I have a few words to add about Dugin and other topics, but I'm going to sign off now, maybe tomorrow. See you!

Here people live in these ugly concrete boxes and mostly hate each other, sometimes they don't even know their neighbours' faces, but want the worst for them 😅
Despite some family issues I think I've had a good upbringing and it's not that bad for me, but I'm still sometimes ashamed of myself that I don't do more to keep my family together, to care for my neighbourhood… And the state of course supports that on purpose because separate we are weak 😩

It is certainly true outside of big cities, in the cities it's the same as in the West — atomized society, broken social ties, and it's getting worse.
A friend of mine got married and moved to Spain several years ago and she was amazed how strong the family ties are — they get together a lot and care for each other. I told her that it's actually the same in Russia, it's just that we grew up in Moscow so we rarely see that.

I can't say anything about the 🇺🇦 part of the story as I'm not too well versed, but I agree that this schism was a good idea, considering how Kremlin managed to turn Church into a tool of political oppression and crowd-control.
The law "against desecration" and how it was used in later years (in a secular country😏) is a disaster and the fact that it was supported by the Church is a stain that would be hard to wash off, not that someone's currently trying.
@demitasse @threalist
@DotardTed
Yeah, same here. I have nothing against true believers, but most people just follow some rituals blindly without adhering to core Christian values, priests in most cases can't offer any spiritual guidance. With a few exceptions it all looks like a facade.
And given the history of organization I have little trust in it.

@enigmatico Still not enough cats! 😸
@demitasse
To be fair some of those who are into Russian Orthodox Church are good Christians — both the priests and the parishioners, but it's far from being mainstream.
My aunt turned overly religious in the recent years, being atheist all her life. And I seriously doubt that she had an epiphany all of a sudden and found Christ, most likely it's the same kind of brainwashing as with state-run TV propaganda.
