Other people's risky sexual behaviour can harm you even if you (normally) don't engage in it yourself; it's not like skiing where people can break only their own necks. You can do two things to minimize the harm: (a) try to r

The phrase is somewhat common, yes, but it's not related to April 12 or Gagarin in any way. It is about the decline that happened later, not about Gagarin. April 12 is a happy day for most Russians, and ex-USSR people in general. It sa

I'm not sure the first submission gives much room for useful and insightful discussion. Is the discussion there any different from other political correctness discussions we had here? If not, then it shouldn't be on the front page

RSS feeds often contain the article text in HTML, and parsing webpages shouldn't be necessary. Kalina, like Newsboat, does support viewing these in terminal—I use Pandoc library to convert HTML to text, links and images are not preserv

You could phrase the question this way if @trianglem was suggesting to make some language more gendered. It totally makes sense to ask, why gender is special, in such situation. But what they did is different, they asked why do people want

I didn't know that. I'm not a native English speaker. If this is actually an established way to informally address Kazakhstan citizens in English, then it's OK, I do not object. But I'm still skeptical about it. I think
