00:21 <alexgordon> pikajude: yeah he's russian

00:21 <pikajude> purr?

00:21 <alexgordon> no tema.ru

00:21 <alexgordon> travelled to every country

00:21 <alexgordon> whenever I want to look up what a country looks like, I just look at his pics

00:22 <pikajude> oh ok

00:22 <pikajude> wow, nice

00:22 <pikajude> i wonder what north korea was like

00:22 <alexgordon> http://tema.ru/eng/travel/north-korea-1/

00:23 <pikajude> it's upsetting

00:23 <pikajude> a highschool friend of my girlfriend's went to north korea

00:28 <alexgordon> pikajude: I mean, they don't really let you see anything untoward

00:28 <pikajude> that's not the point though is it

00:28 <alexgordon> I dunno, what is the point?

00:29 <pikajude> by "it's upsetting" i meant the whole establishment of the personality cult, statewide surveillance, prison camps, etc.

00:29 <pikajude> which, as obvious statements go...

00:29 <pikajude> is pretty high up there

00:30 <alexgordon> well, better get used to it :P

00:32 <alexgordon> I am not optimistic about the future of this planet

00:33 <pikajude> it's bound to reach heat death at any moment

00:33 <alexgordon> I mean, usa is only missing the personality cult

00:33 <alexgordon> and if trump gets elected...

00:34 <pikajude> if trump gets elected i am leaving the united states of america

00:34 <pikajude> for greener pastures beyond

00:34 <alexgordon> turkmenistan!

00:34 <pikajude> i'm generally uninteresting and apathetic but

00:34 <alexgordon> even their flag is green

00:34 <pikajude> not about to trump it

01:04 <alexgordon> "I passed the time on monotonous drives to other cities by teaching the guide and intern Russian. For example, the guide had never even heard of the expletive blya"

01:04 <alexgordon> incredible

04:51 <Rurik> I want Trump to win

04:51 <Rurik> just because of the lulz it will generate

05:32 <ljharb> yes, having literally hitler as president will be hilarious

08:23 <ja> hi friends

10:40 <Hrorek> hello ja

16:08 <alexgordon> is rarik == rurik?
