He looks like he doesn't get any respect.

FYI Czechia is not considered eastern Europe, but central Europe. Sorry for the smartassery, but I needed to mention that. πŸ˜…

Yeah and their currency is the Koruna, not the Euro.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, I'm about to go there for a day trip in a week. Can I not use the Euro at all there?

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. But you likely can just pay by card.

"Former Warsaw pact countries" doesn't have the same ring to it

Considered by whom? Romanians?

Feast your eyes on this map of Central Europe from what I can only guess comes from Bulgaria or Romania

[–] Mikrochip@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, of course Central Europe shares a border with Turkey. How could I have ever thought otherwise.

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.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I think the strict East/West separation is partly a Cold War relic

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

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

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.

How many are trafficking victims?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank god for retail and waitress jobs. All American girls know how to enjoy what they are doing.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

Isn't that the guy from The Bear and Shameless?

I'd recon this was taken on the set of The Bear

Why would you say something so controversial yet so true?

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

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (6 children)

The bear is literally about a guy spurred to reconnect with his family and working class roots by the death of his brother after he has been made mentally sick by the demands of working for the rich and elite in the service industry.

Also the barrier for entry for this show is unbelievably low. It probably has one of the all time best first episodes of any tv show. Watching it would also make you immediately understand how much of a fool you look like right now. The setting is a financially struggling family owned restaurant that caters exclusively to working class people.

Have…have you watched The Bear?

Don’t get me wrong, the Berzatto family had money, and some of their relations do. But…most of the characters are not wealthy, and the restaurant started as a local sandwich joint.

It’s a really good show, I recommend it. It’s like Ted Lasso but dark and depressing.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Faks are the best part of the show.

Haunting should be the way we resolve our differences.

I'm not sure that The Bear really fits what you're complaining about here, but I love the complaint and agree with it in general, so upvoted your comment anyways. So much fiction nowadays is about rich people and "nepo babies", And life scenarios that are generally completely unattainable for most people. As if it wasn't already obvious enough that the majority of mass market fiction is created as some sort of escapist opioid for the peasants. The worst is the new "eat the rich" genre, that pretends to be criticizing, capitalism and wealth while simultaneously drooling over it the whole time.

Or in the faces of Russian soldiers just before the FPV hits them.
