Propaganda where adults are turned gay or lesbian by Western decadence confuses me a little bit.

You would presume that the audience thinks of themselves as super manly men and upstanding women who couldn't be turned. So who is it meant to scare? People who know they're unconditionally straight but are worried their spouse will turn and leave them? People worried about their siblings who always seemed 'unconventional'? Retirees worried about their adult children? Or is it people not worried about themselves or their family but rather that society at large will turn homosexual and they won't feel comfortable at bars anymore?

I say "a little bit" because I figure they don't expect or want the audience to think too much about this.

Nowadays everybody sells stupid bullshit like funnel cake, I guess an oil-saturated sheet of dough topped with its own weight in garlic suddenly isn't fancy enough

Given Putin’s history with false flags and the clear and open warnings issued by the US government, the whole situation seems fishy. I don’t think Putin actually orchestrated this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he allowed it to happen in order to galvanize public support for the security state.

In Western Europe, you drink wine. In Eastern Europe, vodka.

Meanwhile, Britain is still shopping around for a new continent after being waitlisted for North America.

There’s this undercurrent in developed countries that produce from less developed countries (also: less regulated) is better, fresh, etc. In Poland, we tend to consider bread as something that was “lost” due to, I dunno, EU regulations, and “you can’t get bread like you used to!”. The worst part is I agree! I think bread used to be much better, and I recon so was meat.

In Poland, we’ve almost completely moved away from small farm meat production and changed to large conglomerates, and it’s kinda poo poo now. On the other hand, we just had a few people keel over because a dude was producing sausages in his backyard without any regulations and he used the wrong kind of gelatin. And this what I mean is “maybe it’s a load of bullshit, but the meat I had in Belgrade these last two days was amazing”.

One could also improve the highway infrastructure to reduce the accidents but oops, if you don't live within the daily commute distance of the capital your concerns are invalid.

At least that's how it goes here in Finland. 150+ km from Helsinki the highway infrastructure turns aggressively 1980's unless its a single-digit highway.
