You know you can just give your opinions without dancing around them to minimize criticism like a cuck.

Thing is, whatever my opinion on the relation between discourse and sexuality, or discourse, sexuality and truth may be, it's not separable from the ideas contained in the first volume of HOS and to a lesser extent the subsequent ones. And figuring it out beyond this or that initial impulse would be hard work that I have no interest doing right now, least of all on here.

You also way overestimate my desire to "minimize criticism" from a guy who thought that my affection for the parquet floors of my childhood in Moscow was evidence of Quebecois nationalism.

Just the biggest ponce.

Celladorina !! It's been a long, long time! Welcome back. I hope you are keeping well.
( sorry, no Christmas decorating going on in my house)

Btw I’ve always loved the sound of Polish. To the naked ear it has almost no mutual intelligibility with Russian BUT apparently if you learn a few rules about how the sounds have evolved from a shared ancestor, then it’s much easier. Maybe one day I’ll get a chance to study it, who knows.

Oh so you're actually a fellow slav!

I find Russian to sound much nicer than Polish btw.

I also find it fascinating how I don't understand Russian but then suddenly there is a word or a phrase that is identical in Croatian.

Mother Russia <3

Such a shame they turned into such agressively regressive dicks lately.

Russia was pretty cool back in the 80's. Or so they say.

Yugoslavia was cooler.

Today is my friend Jenny's birthday. She would have been 35.

For those who don't remember or didn't see my post over the summer, Jenny committed suicide on July 12th. It was a complicated situation but basically, Jenny lost all of the things she had to care for. Her long time dog passed away in March and her long time boyfriend (one of my best friends) broke up with her unexpectedly after they moved across the country. That's a whole other story but I'll leave it be. We think those two things were what was keeping her going this whole time. Once she lost those, she just had herself to take care of, and she wasn't up for it. I hope she's at peace. I miss her a lot.

It's weird that I'm remembering her birthday that she'll never get to have. Life is f*cking bullsh*t sometimes.

Anyway, happy birthday Jenny. Love you.

Super tough thing to have to remember Exo; I'm sure it brings some dark memories back, but hopefully also some good ones. I'm sure wherever she is she's smiling down on you. Peace, my friend.
