FYI Czechia is not considered eastern Europe, but central Europe. Sorry for the smartassery, but I needed to mention that. 😅
“Former Warsaw pact countries” doesn’t have the same ring to it
To be honest I was more making a joke about the CzechHunter brand of gay porn. Pretty big staple to find a dude with that “haunted look” and then offer him money. Not specific to it that studio but the first that came to mind. But point well taken
Considered by whom? Romanians?
Everyone besides you it seems.
Dudes living directly north of Bratislava getting salty about being called eastern Europe is peak eastern Europe mentality.
If you refer to me, then you got my location completely wrong. 😄
Everyone who knows geography?
We had east and west Germany at school so that might throw people off.
I’ve always considered everything east of the Berlin Wall to be Eastern Europe and everything west to be Western Europe. I’d never even heard of Central Europe as a distinct idea.
my experience is that they get lumped in with either eastern europe or central europe depending on the context and whether on not it supports what someone says. for americans, they’re a lot like Virginia or Kentucky where “are they part of the south” will depend on who you ask, and the context you ask in
To illustrate your point, I’m from Georgia, Kentucky is part of the south, Virginia ain’t. And while I’m at it neither is Texas. Texas is its own thing and Virginia is DC
as a virginian by birth i find this stance INSANE haha. i generally go by “suceded? south.”
the thing to understand is that just as ther are multiple americas, there are multiple Virginias. NoVA being lumped in with DC? sure. anything south and west of Culpepper? what?
virginia beach and reachmond is also its own thing distinct from DC, SWVA, and Southside.
but Ketucky is SUPER different from much of the rest of the south by my experience in southen appalachia, georgia, alabama, and louisana.
texas and florida are both interesting cases of both being Sutouthern and Their Own Thing
Just to be clear I ain’t got a problem with Virginians in any way, but every one of yall I’ve met seems more “Atlantic” than southern. But I’m sure the closer you get to West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee the more that wanes.
Kentucky gets in because both bluegrass, bourbon, the derby, and because Tennessee vouches for them
You ain’t wrong about Florida either. The way I generally look at it is if you draw a line eastwards from the most southern part of the panhandle, everything north of that line is the south. The rest can be either corp or Caribbean.
As for Texas… they have a lot of southern qualities I ain’t gonna front, but there are just so many ways they don’t fit. A Texan is always show offy compared to someone from say Alabama
nah for sure. didn’t think you had issue. was just super happy it got to help us demonstrate to outsiders what i was originally saying about VA and KY. it is also reflective of my experiences of how people discuss Czechia. according to Italians, they’re eastern. according to Poles they’re central. ultimately, these distinctions are only useful in certain contexts that matter for how you’re talking about the differences. ultimately, the conclusion is we, across the globe, are one people. our local cultures are also just that: local. i expect if you and i sat down to share spoonbread, our spoonbreads would taste different, but we’d understand the differences better than someone from Maryland or Delaware ever could
Word! We all the same people, and our differences make us all richer culturally!
Yeah and their currency is the Koruna, not the Euro.
Wait, I’m about to go there for a day trip in a week. Can I not use the Euro at all there?
No. But you likely can just pay by card.
Thanks!
Some tourist oriented establishments allow to pay in euros, but usually they offer horrible exchange rate.
Gotta Check that out!
Joking aside, wonderful country! I went there on a whim 1999 for the new year (long story) coolest people on earth! Gotta go visit again some day.

Isn’t that the guy from The Bear and Shameless?
I’d recon this was taken on the set of The Bear

Anyone else sick of these rich people shows about rich people restaurants? I would rather see a show about a lower middle class guy who works in a shitty diner. I don’t understand the appeal of all the rich people tv shows
Did you even watch the first season?
Why would I? It looked just like the type of show im trying to avoid
Its probably not what you think. It’s themes have more to do with the stress and failures of the restaurant business. It’s gritty in a way.
Bob’s Burgers is the show for you
Love me some belchers
I liked The Menu though.
Drove me insane with my ex her choice of TV shows. It was always a bunch of rich people having rich people problems, that were only somewhat tangentially relatable to regular people.
Gilmore Girls, Ginny and Georgia, huge peeves of mine. No one lives that life except a very very select few, and here they are on camera trying to make us pity them
My wife watches This is us, Us, and these other shows where everyone is always made up, wearing designer clothing. Everyone lives in a big house that is always clean, the neighborhood is picturesque.
I tried to watch that show master of none but it annoyed me because even the dumb fat sidekick character was always dressed in expensive current fashion and all they did was rich people shit and complaining
Midnight Diner is the bomb.
Becker is half set in a diner.
Honestly, all eastern European porn is sad. The girls are clearly hating what they are doing and they seem like they are doing it out of necessity.
Thank god for retail and waitress jobs. All American girls know how to enjoy what they are doing.
I’m not saying American girls are all enjoying what they are doing. Esp porn from from Russia are all sad to me. Similar to porn from East Asian countries (non Han variants). Just sad.
I think it’s a cultural thing. Russians don’t smile out of courtesy like the West. It looks sad to us because we are used to smiles but it’s more genuine. I would expect that on average, girls have the same feelings all over the world.
When it comes to final smiles, it is a requirement from the payment processors that after violent scenes, the video has to finish with the girl smiling and being in a good mood. That must mean that the girls have to smile if they want to be paid, no matter how they feel.
Oh, I’m def not into violent porn. I don’t even like those Japanese porn that simulate rape. I know the girls are clearly safe. It’s just disturbing.
I didn’t know about the final smile tho being required or else they don’t get paid.
How many are trafficking victims?
Ya, can’t say the laws are very strong in Russia.
Or in the faces of Russian soldiers just before the FPV hits them.
People like you are why I have no faith in humanity.
Always happy to help.
He looks like he doesn’t get any respect.
He looks like he’s about to smile to me.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so true?
