Those statues aren't accurate depictions of Marxist college student physique.

At all.

It's not that fantastical, it's resembles a small town and has aboveground buildings as well. The underground dwellings are mostly rented to tourists nowadays.

Few things I remember from there around ~10 years ago:

Coober Pedy literally means 'White Man's Warrens' in Aborogeni.

You have yo register your ID to buy alcohol and are limited to 2 beers/1 spirit per day because the aborogenies keep getting tourists to buy them hooch.

The 1st part pf the Vin Disel Riddick Epic 'Pitch Black' was filmed there and the full size spaceship prop is still in place.

A few corrections for my comtards;

I don't remember any fruit trees in my Хрущёвка growing up.

Alao, you could request a bigger apartment, but as my grandma was fond of saying, 'you can write 'cock' on a fence, it would still be wood' (something may have been lost in translation). The majority of families were living 3-4 generations in a one bedroom apartment with an indefinite wait to upgrade.

You sad fucks living 3-8 roomates deep with no cars and no money left over between bills are already living the communist experience, leave the rest of us out of it.

Im feeling similar vibes to when that bipolar van life influencer girl got killed by her boyfriend, who was later found dead.

Not much info on the ladies husband but it sounds like a manic couple off their meds situation.

I'm very much reading someone with a very narrow world view lecturing me without making any real effort to understand what im saying.

You're imposing your morals and values as well as any colonizer or ethnocentrist I've ever known!

For just about all former soviet states, the N word is the term used to describe black people, because the word imported from Europe to describe Africans. It doesn't have the connotations or baggage that westerners attach to it. Diddo for blackface and sambo imagery, it's usually used more out of ignorance than malice.

Anyone volunteering to beak barriers in that part of the world has their work cut out for them.

One of the 'tells' of mental illness in airplane passenger stories is business class. People experiencing manic episodes tend to take luxury options regardless of means.

It really sucks, and I'm sure red flags were present in the terminal if anyone paid attention.

On the plus side, she was probably hospitalized after the emergency landing, she may not be liable.

This really isnt any different than Grandpa calling the cashier at the Piggly Wiggly a 'colored'.

Well, there's sucking at handling credit cards at 11% interest, and there's sucking at handling credit cards at 28% interest.

Not that I feel bad about it because I reached adulthood and learned my lesson with the 2007 recession, but young people are experiencing the double whammy of being the 'number go up' generation, with their parents and education completely failing to prepare them for number go down.

Now the only numbers that go up are cost of living and interest rates.

Oh well, it'll suck for me, but at least the poors won't be armed.
