I talked to an older relative from the Soviet Union about gay marriage and she told me that on the one hand, it seems strange that something she had been raised to view as a mental illness was now getting official recognition, but on the other hand there were always people like the two nice guys she used to work with who were best friends, lived together, and never found the right women to marry…
(She did work in a metallurgical plant but those guys were probably engineers rather than burly steelworkers.)
She also said that she didn’t like the Chinese engineers sent to visit her plant because they smiled too much. A similar thing happened when my family came to the USA, before we got used to things here. I recall my mother being bothered that a cashier had smiled at her because the cashier didn’t know her and had no reason to be happy to see her.

lmao, an acquaintance of mine feels uncomfortable back in their home country because people aren’t amicable to strangers like they are in the States, and that amicable reaction feels like the ‘normal’ to them now.
Comrades with Dorothy you mean.
Dorothy is an awfully popular comrade! Everywhere I go people seem to know her!
“We’ve met before sir”
“I don’t think so”
“Oh we have sir…”
The film My Fellow Americans had its moments.
A metallurgical?
Steel mill or similar.
No, metallurgical is an adjective.
To be fair, “sabbatical” sets a precedence on adopting adjectives into nouns. I’m all for using “metallurgical” as a noun denoting workplaces that do metallurgy.
Let’s noun it
Fantastic title
About when were these coming out? Are we talking like early 50s here?
Almost certainly pre-Sino-Soviet Split, some links on reverse image search say 1950.
Yeah that was why I was asking I figured there had to be a pretty narrow time here where these could have been made
1: that title is GOLD
2: post this on !PoliticalCompassMemes@kbin.social they’d like itKbin is down, we’re at !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world now. Already crossposted it though!
The funny thing is the translation of “comrades” in Chinese is using as a reference to gay these days in China.
