To be fair, my hair actually frizzes out when I don’t wash it (with conditioner). It’s fine for a day or two, but after that I should really get to it, because it also starts to itch.
You are right though, hygiene is a space of myth nowadays. Most info out there is bullshit.
Yeah, I spent too many words to say “This is a bad idea, don’t do it” tbh
What tge person in the post there is doing isn’t working. Replacing the names in a way that still provides the same context(which is your proposal) would need you to understand exactly why each name is used each time, it is more exhausting than just learning the names. The translation also left the names in place, they didn’t try to translate it, because that is a ludicrous idea. I am not sure it is possible.
How are you going to edit the name usage out of a book exactly? It has a meaning, you can’t replace it at all, really. It’s not context you can provide otherwise.
Engaging with the cultural context of a classic novel is part of reading it. Of course it can be difficult, but it is a russian piece of literature. It is an integral part of what it is, on a conceptual level. If you take that away you have a fundamentally different work. What’s the poin then? This is not about ability, at least I don’t think so, there is a glossary is there after all(in the better translations at least).
Like, I agree, fuck the names of obscure political groups from a hundred years ago. Outside of specific contexts they are generally not needed for understanding the theory. But theory is not a narrative novel.
It’s nice for historical purposes though, exact sourcing is just very good praxis, when writing any theory.
A novel is not a piece of political theory. The aims are different, also russian naming conventions are more complex than english ones.
Also I believe on should try and actually engage with the cultural context of a piece of art(the novel) and not just to actively remove it. Why read russian literature then?
It is not that difficult, because there are contexts to each use, and they are consistent between characters as well. It is not always easy as well, but if you have the attention span to read Dosteyevski, you have it to remember some naming conventions as well.
Why the fuck is the US still policing childrens hair? Just to be racist and enforce heteronormativity?
Mayve they mean a greater turkestan from, I guess the Hotan River to the Caspian Sea? Incorporating Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Usbekistan, as well as several non turk people, like Tajiks?
My last fairphone died of a busted motherboard, which wasn’t replacable. Since then I am kinda sceptical about the “repairable” part.
Do byciclists in the US have to be fully militarized now to survive traffic?
Jens Stoltenberg is the Nato top guy, some Norwegian. Commited anticommunist, also I never voted for NATO membership, noone did, in fact there was never even a choice.
can you not control it? is the lying a compulsion for you? I mean… the evidence of what I said is right there yet you insist I said something I clearly didn’t. it’s… very strange.
Why do you need to insult soneone who has veen nothing but respectful in their interaction with you? You refuse to commit, you are not discussing anything, you are provocing and trying to put down your conversation partner.
Yeah, but those are the representatives of the ruling class voting against it.
At least in Nigeria there is no support for an invasion, the parlament voted against an intervention and the opposition (it’s close to election I think) is also strongly opposed to it. Algerian president alsonput out a statement urging against intervention.

A guy I knows thinks ukraine could still win, if we only sent the right weapons and the right ammount. This is for him.
