>This is a thing, confusing the government/political leadership with the country or the people.

Another interesting moment that westerners rarely understand political situation here. People here aren't subjects of politics, and don't want to be. Majority of Russians support government, but this majority is very passive and have complex doublethink from birth. Like people sincerely saying "yes, we need to crush that evil West, go Putin!", but then running to shop to stockpile food because same people don't trust any word from government (who says that everything is good and will be better). So this isn't situation like people suffering from evil dictator, nor situation when people support glorious leader, and not even middle. For all 20th century Russians had only ~20 years of relatively comfort life, and experienced few pretty serious genocides (revolution/civil war, WW2), so people subconsciously understand how things really work, and easily change their mind when it is about survival.

Good example of modern Russian mentality was 1991, when almost everyone didn't want USSR to fall but literally no one ever tried to save it, even by just going to street protest. There was referendum before and 77% said that USSR must be saved in new form, but only few old generals tried to make a coup that quickly failed.

And some naive westerners also think that Russians need to gather and overthrow the regime, and sanctions would help to move people to streets. But there was recent example from almost similar country: Belarus. It is small country that has less population than Moscow, and they've had protests on almost revolution level, with street fights, terrorism (both from police and from people), very large amount of protest supporters in population, and... nothing changed. Government used hardcore repressions and protests were crushed. Situation in Russia isn't different, there are huge amount of loyal police and paramilitary force that wouldn't surrender easily but can do any inhumane act without remorse.

I know what you write.
It's literally an inherited helplessness, impotence. Like riding on rollercoaster you have no control of.
I think many people in every nation, country, culture have this, but depending on historical circumstances as we're going from west to east it is characteristic to larger and larger portion of the society. In the US where the American Dream exists (existed?) a lot more people have a "can do" mindset and they are more willing to changing their own fate, and they believe more that they can influence larger things outside their own lives. In UK where the entrepreneur spirit exists since liek Henry VIII, the birthplace of capitalism, the country which influenced global changes in the first time also have this.
But arriving to the continent it is less and less, actually in both direction, from west to east and north to south. Central Eastern Europe, the last 500 years, it's one failure after another (mostly talking about Hungarian history, but noone here had more bright fate), individuals long tied to the feudal system, bloody and unsuccessful struggles to reach nothing by own effort, but then the central authority reached down and gave certain freedom. Little democratic changes in the end, but then the two world wars destroyed everything and we found ourselves again under the thumb of tyranny.
But then we reach Russia, where communism followed feudalism directly, offering very little for the individual to feel that he can be master of his own fate. They only learnt to live in a way where others deciding what they can do and cannot. When all the people around made to watch each other so they don't do anything against the system. People don't know how to change themselves, and how to join forces with the others. In this system only those can be independent thinkers and doers who are really psycho/sociopaths, and even these will be just roadkills for those who are in the right position to do so. Being in the right place or knowing the right people is not enough however, most of these can only be yes men for a very few guys on the top.

I don't think we can fit all of Russia there doe

You mean Bálint Day?

It's Bismarck launch day.

It's actually the Bday of Hungarian assburger Esperantist and world traveler who spoke 22 languages (8 on conversational level).

It's not any of those days at all! Stop trying to steal Valentines day from the Valentine.

The valentine does not get anywhere near enough attention I think, everybody forgets it existed even though they made 8,200 of them. That's only 300 less than the number of Panzer IVs that were made. It's such an important tank yet nobody ever mentions it.

I guess it depends on what you call "cheesecake", specific modern US cheesecake ("New York" or whatever it is called) or just literally cheese cake.

That wiki article about cheesecakes uses that term pretty liberally and puts every cheese/quark cakes into same category, although they are very different.

>>46321
>That wiki article
It seems our cottage-cheese cheesecake counts as cheesecake too.

>>46322
>goiabada
Can that be used as spread on bread?
>cashew
That is really good I do agree. Also the unsalted variety goes well into muh oats. A bit expensive here.

>>46328
>Can that be used as spread on bread?
It's about as hard as cheese, you have to slice it with a knife. But creamy versions are good for pastry.

Heston Blumenthal is a professional chef, I'm sure he knows what a cheesecake is.

Lech Walesa gonna be an electrician again.

Yes, he's important figure in the regime change in Poland. Was first prez after it too.

This one is autosaging, we need a new news thread. Maybe with real news now.

>A parent ofc should love their kids unconditionally

depends tbh. I've seen some very nasty people and the way they treat their kids. That's not always tru though

>>45996
I do agree in general.
>prevent them from engaging in self-destructive behavior.
But do we know better then them? Do we really know what they need? I have a pal who had no aim in life and engaged in self-destructive behaviour until the very edge of breaking, which in the end motivated him to change things.
But in general I agree with you even with this because many people can do that and go over the edge, never getting off from the downward slope.

Wait, you're talking about incest?

Yes, I mentioned in spoiler similar scenario.

This.

And even term "unconditional" doesn't mean that there will be all-forgiveness.

>>46021
>But do we know better then them? Do we really know what they need?

We don't, but as imperfect and irrational human beings, we think that we do.

Although sometimes we really know better, but society likes to highlight wrong cases more.

I don't think there is such absolutely "unconditional love". There is real love, either passional or filial, which is, ultimately, a willingness to sacrifice one's own life to keep and protect the loved one, and there are lower degrees of affection. But even love, when considered as a human emotion rather than an abstract, poetic, atemporal concept or inspiration, turns out to be conditional, if on nothing else, at least on Entropy, God of Destruction.
>>46021
>But do we know better then them? Do we really know what they need?
Basically, "yes". If passional love, then because this is a burning and possessive love then we will believe that we do know better. If parental love, then in most cases we certainly do know better

Btw, I really hate the Anglo banalization and bastardization of the word and concept "love". In English somebody might say he "loves" ice cream, for example...
