  • We took a flight to Amsterdam for a lengthened weekend once and had a hostel in the Red Lights district, or very close by at least if not on it. Yeah the central was utterly packed with bikers and tourists and boy, you better not wander into the bike lane. as a pedestrian. (Yes I know short depicts Germany instead but couldn’t find the guy just yelling “bike lane, this is a bike lane” and now I don’t know whether it’s a short I’ve seen or an anecdote I’ve heard.) Anyway, my friend had a friend living in Amsterdam Noord, so we took the ferry over. The entire walk+ferry ride from our hostel to the apartment in Amsterdam Noord was at most 15-30 min, with the ferry. (I might be misrembering the crossing time but.)

    And Amsterdam-Noord was super chill, no tourists, not really that many people either. (Although it was a Thursday night iirc so…) And not like apartment buildings but like terraced houses etc.





  • Let me help you learn something. If I posted about a random person who know-one knows, saying something random, that would be “without context”. However if I posted a picture of Obama saying “we will find Osama Bin Laden”, you probably wouldn’t say “there’s no context we can’t know who the ‘we’ is in that quote”, would you?

    So I’m puzzled why you’d make such a bad faith argument over this. Did you know really not know who Khrushchev was?


  • No, Putin is shit and I hope he ends up in the Hague where he belongs.

    Thank you for confirming that. I know it’s a bitch when people assume shit, but you know, you can never know. So, thanks. Even if you are Russian. Or rather especially if you are. Like I doubt it, from context, but if you were.

    Khrushchev may have been originally Ukrainian, but that doesn’t really mean that much.

    Who the fuck wouldn’t associate Khrushchev with Russia or the Cold War in general? Who would be the “we” in that if not Soviet Russia? Stop writing in Bad Faith. And I capitalise that on purpose.
