Italian here. Luckily it seems like the place I live now has been barely touched by Boris, but my wife's parents are stuck at home with flooded streets and whatnot. Hope it's not going to be as bad as last year.

I believe it's either The Blues Brothers or 2001.

Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin's government on several occasions.

The "white" tie actually has a small deep blue pattern in it, the photo really doesn't make it justice (but I'm still open for changing things up). I tried some double breasted but none of the models I tried on felt "right"; and yeah of course I'm going to try to fix up some of the hair ahahahah

 

Ignore the messed up face!

I believe it's quite obvious that Girona can't operate at the same kind of level that Man City does, even if they belong to the same state fund. Market just opened up, I wouldn't be surprised if they placed some interesting transfers aimed at generating income for the team while consolidating the identity of the squad. Plus, Savio leaving for Man City is quite a telling sign of this behaviour, imho.

not really; 30 minutes of decent football (which is kind of expected considering the quality Southgate had available) and nothing more.

I wouldn't say he's been a disappointment. His role as a striker has always been more akin to what he's shown in this tournament than what some might expect of him, and especially with this team you could predict that his playing time would mostly be spent on refining offensive possession rather than scoring.

in defense of Matt and Trey, they did apologize on the ManBearPig thing. And it's not like their depiction of Trump is very flattering, either...

We didn’t have Hitler in our history though. You can’t compare roman salute with wolf gesture

Turks committed genocide towards Armenians (and are still perpetrating one against Kurds).

Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist.

It's not about existence, it's about extremism and authocracy making its way into Europe. I don't think any European looks at Hungary with respect, either.

Italy also symbolizes wolfs.

Wolves are not correlated, at least in Italy, to paramilitary fascist organisation responsible for war crimes. And, of course, there's always a degree of interpretation: a wolf is a wolf, a wolf salute is a reminder of the violent recent history of Turkey and its accommodation into the reality of "the normal".

I believe Turkey is a wonderful country, but there's definitely better ways to show patriotism than to resort to extremist political affiliation for doing it. Like, I don't know, a Turkish flag?

the fact that "80% of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol", when it is clearly associated with a paramilitary fascist group, should really make you think about why Turkey isn't looked upon nicely by the EU in general. And I'm frankly surprised that even as a "non right wing Turkish", you still think it's fine to use the symbols that are now widely associated with that political group. I can't think of a world where I, an Italian, would use the Roman salute because it's a "patriotic" salute and because "everyone does it here" (even if a large majority of Italians don't, thank god).

 

La mia domanda è a fronte della recente comunicazione di ISP riguardo al passaggio a Isybank, e ho pensato che potesse essere un momento adatto per guardarsi attorno.

 

Bella occasione per parlare di un sacco di cose diverse: in primis di Killers of the Flower Moon, che per quanto mi riguarda è balzato direttamente al primo posto dei film dell'anno. Poi, di Letterboxd: voi lo usate? Lo conoscete? Che ne pensate? E come bisogna valutare la decisione di Scorsese di aprire un proprio profilo? Mossa di marketing, sicuramente: ma quanti possono vantare di avere un mostro sacro del cinema tutto tra i propri utenti attivi, tra l'altro con un gusto così eccentrico e fuori dagli schemi come quello di Scorsese?

 

I recently started another run and I wanted to try a fascist Harry but I guess I'll never have the heart to delude Kim. On the other hand, I started interiorizing Revacholian Nationhood AND Krasmazovian Economics at the same time. Am I building a Nazbol Harry?

 

Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn't be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

 

And most importantly, what do you think about it? I think it's quite bad except for a few nice details and while being definitely shorter it also feels like it's missing some of the features that make OP such a quintessential read. Nonetheless, still amusing lol

 

In questi giorni mi sto ritrovando a pensare sempre più spesso a come sostituire il mio povero Motorola Moto G8 Power, con il suo schermo rotto e la sua OS completamente outdated. In tutto ciò, però, mi sto facendo domande su quale possa essere una scelta etica e sensata: il Fairphone mi intriga molto, ma le sue prestazioni non mi convincono. Il primo Nothing Phone poteva sembrare una valida alternativa, ma non so se sia un prodotto "etico" e aperto come Fairphone. Insomma, voi come scegliete quello che vi mettete in tasca?

 

Penso che sia necessaria una premessa. Sono un dilettante del pianoforte che ha studiato per qualche anno in maniera semiseria lo strumento con impostazione pop-jazz; ho una discreta conoscenza di armonia, solfeggio e anche un minimo livello di ear-training. Da anni però non suono più in maniera regolare, e solo recentemente sto paventando la possibilità di riapprocciarmi allo strumento dal versante della musica classica: quali possono essere quindi dei buoni metodi preparatori, o degli studi mediamente facili, che posso reperire per iniziare a reimpratichirmi? Ho già sotto mano il Pianista virtuoso di Hanon, ma dove a livello tecnico è un allenamento eccellente, sul piano sonoro è davvero molto scadente.
