The Troubled Teen Industry with Misha Osherovich | The Downside #33 

I appreciate it! Still fairly new but hopefully the word will get out soon (because I’m bleeding money!!!)

Is there one for Basil? I can't stand it. I'd rather starve. It tastes like rotten mint leaves to me.

I definitely got the one here cilantro is delicious. I always ask for extra cilantro. And onions. I can't get enough raw onions lol

Yeah my mum makes stuff with cilantro for the whole family, everyone else is fine but I can't handle it. So she makes it all the same up until she adds cilantro, separates my portion into a seperate pan then goes on as usual 💀

I have it cilantro makes things taste like they left dish soap on the dishes

I got the other gene, I lovelovelove cilantro, it adds a peppery, dynamic, fresh, exciting flavour to food when it's fresh, like how garlic is if instead of its garlicky garlicness it was slightly peppery and fresh.

Misha uses they/them*

@@maverickzalewski2871 thank you for letting me know! I didn’t catch that/ didn’t realize while I made my previous comment. I tried to fix it, but currently very tired and with heavy brain fog.

Glad you got through it.

The googling got me, I looked up my "Theraputic Boarding School". They now have multiple pending lawsuits and changed their name. BTW they charged 45k per year. I wonder if healing is their priority.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. Hope you’re doing better now ☺️

@@BybeeBunnie tysm, it took a lot of work, but I very much am doing better now

I bet you are helping them more than you think. Even if your parent can't give you any info, they likely have the relevant info themselves to piece things together and your additional information probably helped them. You seem like a really caring person, I hope that your efforts pay off right along with you.

@@Fairygoblet thank you so much for your kind words

Good luck to the “kid” & you! 😊

The amount of ignorance and self righteousness in this comment is palpable

Imagine thinking the ussr was communist

Ethnic cleansing and cultural erasion via colonialism were very much a thing. Banning language, religion, and cultural practices... FFS my mum had to take atheist exam to get into uni 🙃 Russians came and occupied your own country and tried to erase all of its history and claim it to be theirs, they certainly did it by force and with a lot of human suffering. Anyone influential would often be offed eventually as they were seen as dangerous to their goals of taking over. So someone like a scientist would very much be targeted.

@@Cccc123c33 the USSR was not “Russian”, in fact the ruling elite were overwhelmingly Jewish, Stalin was Georgian etc, and the USSR murdered and targeted ethnic Russians. It’s estimated they murdered 20mil ethnic Russians. Also, what languages and cultural practices were banned? All of Russians minorities have retained their languages and customs. Our native populations in Siberia are more in number today than when they were originally absorbed into the Empire, not to mention their languages are mandatory subjects in schools where their population is large enough. The problem now is that the youth is leaving to the cities and abandoning their traditions (this is happening world wide). Yes, the USSR was atheist and prosecuted religions, because the government was to be the religion. Again, nothing to do with Russia and Russians. During the Imperial period everyone was free to practice their religion and it was multiethnic. This is the case today. Someone like a scientist would very much be targeted? That’s the most ridiculous statement. Science and academics were heavily praised and valued. Why would the USSR target scientists when they were so needed? USSR has insane scientific achievement so how would scientists be targeted? Anyone who was against the government was targeted, nothing to do with their profession, and everything to do with an authoritarian regime maintaining control.

Dude, you can be a communist while still being critical of the USSR. Those things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that you say "we" as if your brand of communism is 100% identical to the "communism" practiced in the USSR is really unimaginative. There are things to celebrate in the USSR (particularly given their historical past and their ostracization from the West) and there is also MUCH to criticize. Don't be a tankie.
