32. I missed that actually (I don't read or understand Russian)

But I kind of guessed it wasn't something nice.

Can you tell me what 'Vasya in the Hay' means? I've been curious about that ever since I started watching his videos a couple years ago.

I'm glad you accepted my apology, I honestly felt terrible when I read your response. I will definitely be more thoughtful in my posts. In my mind, what I was thinking when I said it, was the "Russian Warship, go fuck yourself' kind of thing. I was strictly 'thinking' about the war with Ukraine, specifically the pro-invasion of Ukraine Russians (Z Patriots? is that a good label for them?). But just because I was 'thinking' it doesn't mean it comes across in my typed words.

I also want to mention that I am envious (in a good way) of the description of your travels in your life. I've only been to Tijuana and Toronto as far as traveling to another country. I've been all over the US, and grew up in Hawaii, which is a cultural melting pot.

I think a big part of our problems (in the US) is that a lot of people never leave their 'neck of the woods', and end up with very closed minds.
