We walked away with silver, while the Germans ended up in 4th...☕

I mean, birth control pills are probably my best bet for dealing with pain...☕

Maybe he was just an American with Orthodox roots.

Do those people even exist? I wouldn't bet on it...

Double the Klischee...😂

I see it all the time with my own mom—if she gets a specific idea in her head and doesn't get her way, the waterworks start immediately, followed by total fury and claims that nobody loves her... then my dad just loses his mind trying to apply logic to a situation where logic simply doesn't exist!

She also constantly insists she needs more attention, so I’ll set aside a few hours just to hang out and be sweet with her... and then she hits me with, "Are you doing this just because you feel obligated, or do you actually love me?" And honestly, what am I even supposed to say to that?😍

Honestly, the best move is usually just to stay quiet, help her out, and give her some space to herself.
But hey, that's just our wonderful moms for you!🙂 🙂

That's the catch.

Your dad is actually around, so I guess the situation is a bit different, no offense intended.

Gary Reyes3 said:It's also possible she's going through menopause and her hormones are just all over the place, which would totally explain why she's constantly whining, craving attention, and picking fights...
Trust me, women can be completely different people during that stage of life.

Don't take everything so hard, just live your life and try to make some time for her every now and then!

How can you not feel that way when you're living with her🤷?

I guess the guy isn't even the issue here.

👍

Could be.

Megan White4, hey.

Seems to me she still hasn't really dealt with your old man passing.
And that whole thing about hoarding junk and causing chaos? Yeah, I know that tune all too well...🙄
Honestly, I've got no clue how you're gonna fix this... she probably wouldn't even listen if you suggested therapy, so I guess (maybe) your only move is to get some financial breathing room and put some distance between you two.
Good luck. Hang in there...

👋

Birth control pills can help sometimes, I guess. Maybe ask your OB-GYN.😉

Aren't the Vlas just Orthodox... Aromanians? 😵

darkbear51 said:Honestly, it happens all the time. Back in the day, whenever people heard about America—if they'd even heard of it—they pretty much assumed it was just another part of the USSR.

I once had this retired geography professor (!) from Canada ask me where America was... claiming he couldn't find us on the map anywhere near Asia!!?? 🙄

Sorry, but this one just popped into my head...

Susan Moore76 said:Here’s a little story from my own experience... I was out in New York City, having a conversation with this local law student. When I mentioned I was from America, he just stared at me with this massive question mark over his head before asking if that was some kind of Russian province. That was really it. Just that one moment.

😂 🤣

Richard Wilson4 said:You're right about that. Honestly, we Americans aren't exactly any better either.
Come on guys, give me at least two sentences on what you know about Lithuania.
Maybe they’re actually decent at basketball, just like when people start hyping them up for football...

👍

wise words...🙏

darkbear51 said:Well, those guys don't know how to brew a decent cup of coffee... though they might be able to roast the beans themselves. 😁

Yeah.😁

No way... back then, workers were basically cooking at these corporate retreats or state-owned vacation spots... any worker or even their kids could head out for summer break... so, I guess your theory just doesn't hold up.😉

Sam Alvarez15 said:Can we at least Americans just bring our canned tuna and pâté to the beach?😕

😢

😂

You aren't Czech or Canadian; if I recall right, you guys don't stingy yourselves on vacation.😁

Or maybe I'm wrong? 🤔

Luxury tourism is just another way for the rich to get richer while everyone else gets squeezed even harder.

Yeah, I guess.

The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. Forget luxury travel or those niche crowds—I just don't want some radical group setting up shop and serving coffee on our beaches.

Do you actually have any idea who those Non-Aligned countries were? ☕

...were...over n out.😉

Gregory Howard said:Oschlies was absolutely torn apart in this year's third issue of the American Review, published by MH. On pages 69 through 75, Gojko Borić didn't just critique him—he completely eviscerated him.

There are still those dragging their feet—the likes of old Newelkowsky, not to mention people like Kordić. It’s a simple fact: one Auburger is worth more than ten of those lowlifes combined.

Is that posted anywhere online? You got a link, maybe? 🙂

There are still a few others stumbling around—the old Newelkowsky types, and don't even get me started on people like Kordić—but honestly, one Auburger is worth more than ten of those hacks.

Still, those leftists and American have a massive lobby over in Austria and Germany... it took forever for them to stop pushing that "Serbo-American" nonsense over there, but guys like Milos Okuka (Munich) are still peddling it. Meanwhile, in certain circles, someone like Brozović is actually treated like an American nationalist.🙄

Gregory Howard said:This isn't a joke. It's a reality. People like Drakulic, driven by a deep-seated resentment toward America, enjoy easy access to the media and spend their time peddling anti-American garbage. Globally, you find them in academia and so-called intellectual circles: David Binder, partially John Fin in the US, then Michael Sells, ...Wolf Oschlies, and several Slavists in Germany, along with various similar types in Austria.

It is telling that this anti-American promotion is quite strong in Scandinavia, despite us having almost no connection to those countries. It’s also prevalent in Germany and Austria, our supposed "friends." Meanwhile, in England and France—our so-called "enemies"—you find our most vocal supporters embedded within their intellectual and academic elite.

Seems like you know your stuff...🙏 true enough, in Germany, those kinds of Americans mostly run the Slavic Studies departments🙂...though, I guess nobody really takes Oschlies seriously anymore; he's just rambling about poor Mexicans lately.
Sometimes I wonder: are we just pathetic former "Americans" when our countries become nothing more than a playground for people who wouldn't dare say a word back home...
Look, I don't hate anyone, let's be clear, and from an intellectual standpoint, you have to look at both Illyrianism and American. But what kills me are the Americans who hire some foreigner just for the credentials and then start preaching "Brotherhood and Unity." Been there, seen that.
And I wouldn't even say I'm on the far right.
