Snowy and sunny are idealization, and each idealization is wrong, most winter days are continuous change and mixture of intermediate states of snow and sun. Death to idealism.

Unfortunately, I perceive Putin as a right-wing nationalist, though he's not a nazi. Maybe China? Cuba is unfortunately too small :(

I am so thankful for science and technology that changed material conditions and thus implicitly social conditions so tortures are seen barbarous these days. I hope future will bring still less suffering.

Well, even if he believed some corrections are necessary, he certainly selected not the most efficient and reasonable means to express it. I do not want to sound like an ultra, but I admire his courage and firm staying with noble ideals, also I am sorry for what happened to him.

I think (wish to believe?) Sablin was a Leninist, who wanted back ideals of the 1917 Revolution, but some leftcoms may be lured to him by opposing USSR when it did not follow their expectations.
The warship is called Dzerzhinskiy, has she some references to Sablin?
For me, he is a real hero.

I can imagine - last 8 years in Poland we had some catholic indoctrination, fortunately it gave almost opposite effect - many kids resign from religion lessons. Sadly, liberal propaganda is overwhelming and so common that regular people even do not notice it ☹️
Over 100 years ago, Russia became core of USSR and the pioneer of international struggle for workers' liberation, poverty lifting, enlightenment, scientific progress and propagation of socialism and communism. Now -- in my humble and maybe biased by liberal propaganda view -- Russia is one of the most reactionary, conservative, backward-looking, clerical country. Please excuse me posting some liberal, imperialist shit here, but seems that Kremlin officially admits going far-right: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/kremlin-finally-puts-together-ideology Speaking locally, there seems to be evidence that Polish far-right party PiS (Law and Justice) is backed by Kremlin as well as the extremely influential priest, Tadeusz Rydzyk, founder and director of the ultra-catholic, conservative Radio Maryja station has/had ties with Polish and Russian security services before the end of People's Republic of Poland and USSR (sic!). I have some generally available videos, but in Polish, sadly. Could you tell me how far this is true? If so, what purpose had the late communist states and today's Russia in spreading far-right propaganda? WTF went wrong?

Chinese citizens are among those who feel the most positively about AI products and services. Americans … not so much. In a 2022 IPSOS survey, 78% of Chinese respondents (the highest proportion of surveyed countries) agreed with the statement that products and services using AI have more benefits than drawbacks. After Chinese respondents, those from Saudi Arabia (76%) and India (71%) felt the most positive about AI products. Only 35% of sampled Americans (among the lowest of surveyed countries) agreed that products and services using AI had more benefits than drawbacks. Source: https://aiindex.stanford.edu/report/
He visitied USSR many times and knew Russian well. He rejected communism after he saw the Warsaw Pact intervention in Czechoslovakia. The intervention took less than 300 hundred lives on both sides, but McCarthy choose to support republicans, a fascist regime responsible for thousands of victims all over the World. Edit: Wikipedia says: "he distanced himself after making visits to the Soviet Bloc, which led to him becoming a conservative Republican." but it seems that this particular intervention changed his mind, not the earlier multiple visits in Soviet Union. Wikipedia is biased as fuck.
I searched quite a few webpages, some says that it is beneficial (as the one I cite), some say that it is bad, especially if a person is genetically a night owl, and I suspect that websites as Fortune, Virgin, Forbes, etc. have an interest to say people that they should wake up earlier and work harder. Anyway, Harvard medical school and some researches also recommends getting up earlier (and going to bed earlier). But it seems that there is not so much scientific references about it. What are your thoughts?
An obscure genre popular in Russia/Spain/UK and Poland around 2000s. Powerful and free of any decadence and snobbery. Libs would hate it - leave them listening to sonic-fast-food smooth jazz and pretending that they have sophisticated music taste.
The October Revolution evolution brough liberation to workers, agriculture proletariat and also woman in USSR. Woman were no longer a property of husband, and they could pursuit any career, like scientist, engineer, soldier or even a cosmonaut. Their voice finally could be heard publicly. It seems that the years after the October Revolution were also the time of sexual liberation, e.g. like women could have more partners without social stigma, characteristic to patriarchal societies. Conservatives describe this as moral decandency, they write that the Bolsheviks allowed "sadism and masochism" and all kind of sexual perversion. Of course, these conservative fucks do not admit that this "sadism and masochism" cases were most probably consensual sexual practices. Then, I heard, when Stalin took power, the sexual liberty was tamed. The conservative fucks write something like "Stalin was a monster, but at least he put in order the sexual and moral decandency". And it looks that the sex matters were quite a tabu during Stalin times. Maybe because there was the Great War and a maximal mobilization and discipline were needed. But after Stalin, things seems similar. I read a story of some Polish man, who met some ladies from USSR, probably in 80s. He said that they were more sexualy prudent than people rised in (ultra-?)catholic Poland (even if at that time there was People's Republic of Poland, this country is cursed by very strong catholic mind-worm). I know that USSR had many based gay posters, but I do not see evidence of any sexual playfulnes in practice since Stalin. To put it shortly, USSR since Stalin looks as conservative in matters of customs and sex. Is a grain of truth in the above or I get it wrong?
Today in Poland there is voting, so you could choose between open fascists, mild fascists with religious fanaticism flavour, conservative neoliberals, and neoliberal puppets called themselves "leftists", but this is a mild socdem at best. The "leftists" are quite concerned about empreteneurs and support the neoliberal opposition. I decided to not vote. However, there is a strong pression to go voting. What would you do?
