Great ideas here. My wife told me she did not know what to get me and that I should just go out and get what I wanted, within a designated dollar limit. Works for me. Hope turkey day went well for you.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
nice list, thanks for the video! couldn't agree more on Kindle! p.s. dostoyevsky - not the best time to recommedn russian culture. it's missiles and drones falling on our heads here in Ukraine daily now. But I do recommend Timothy Snyder Bloodlands. It's a non-fiction, but it's book on history of the lands drown in blood by the russians for decades.
Sorry to hear about your struggle there in Ukraine. If it makes any difference, you guys still have lots of support here in the States. I also read Red Famine this year by Anne Applebaum, which I thought was informative. Thanks for watching. Hope things get better there soon.
Unless you are allowed to drop YUGE! YUGE! hints, hints that include web links to exactly what you want, don’t tell anyone you want photography gifts. Why? You will wind up with something that looks a little bit like what you wanted but not actually what you wanted. You will be on your way to a photo crap pile you don’t want nor will you ever use.
@Overexposed1 1. First of all - it is mainstream. And so-called "russian literature" became popular in recent days only because of the influence of social media and some famous book bloggers who want to be "not like everyone else, but the one with a mysterious soul and exquisite taste" without a complete understanding of the read. 2. Russian Empire prohibited learning in schools, publishing books, and studying in universities in ANY languages except Russian. The USSR and Russian Federation continue such policies (the remaining policies about learning the local language of the native people in the federations are fiction, and you can easily find the statistics about dead or almost non-existing native languages across all territories of russia and how numbers were decreased in recent years). They also sponsor cultural programs that move the focus from all Slavic literature to Russian. It's kinda the reason why you recommend Dostoevsky and know nothing about Ivan Kotliarevsky, Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky, or Valerian Pidmohylnyi. This influence not only in literature but for example in painting, where ethnically Polish Ukranian-born Kazimir Malevich was claimed as a Russian artist. 3. This book in particular glorifies unreasonable violence and the idea of a "little man", who couldn't change anything. This idea became destructive since it's a part of russian mentality, which caused such high acceptance of the war by silent doing nothing with motto "I'm against the war, but will do nothing since I'm only a little man and it's not my war". 4. It is an easy way to piss off Ukranians, cause between air raids and having only a couple of hours with electricity, we still see increased interest in "the mysterious russian soul", that bloody mess that we are experiencing right now. Maybe reading Dostoevsky books would be appropriate in a world where burning Ukranian books, and killing Ukranian poets, writers will be in the past. nedopysani.project - is list of such people. P.S. Pretty good gift is Svema film. It was produced in Shostka - city near the border, that everyday have air raid alerts for few hours.
@@dmytroyehorov2905 I disagree with your critique of the book. Your complaints with the book seem to mainly be centered around the fact that the book is Russian. I am sympathetic to ongoing plight of Ukrainians in the face of unwarranted aggression from Russia. Totally sympathetic. It's horrible. But with that being said, a book written in the 1850's has little to do with the present struggle. Since you didn't mention morality, I question whether you understand the central theme of the book - respectfully. There are a number of important themes in the book, but the central idea of the book is what it has to say about the origin of morality, and whether morality is objective or subjective. It's a rebuttal of Enlightenment ideas that attempt pull God/religion out of the foundation of morality. Raskolnikov's character is in effect a steel man case for religious subjectivism.

It did! I made a country ham for my family and we all got a few days off from the jobs. Hope you all are well!
Overexposed just exposed his gift ideas for himself hahaha
Also, thanks for the recommendations 👏🏽
He’s back!! Good to see you man, and thanks for sharing your passion 🎉
First got into Dune like 20 years ago while deployed to A̶r̶r̶a̶k̶i̶s Iraq, and yeah, it's so good.
I’m almost finished with the third one. Trying to figure out if the Preacher is Paul!
I would add to that list some film container it can be nice as a gift.
I think Peter McKinnon markets a sweet one this channel reviewed and HIGHLY recommended.
😁😁😁
🥴
@@gregwardecke yes I know but that one is seriously overpriced, even normal one is a bit too much as well, almost all of us use just zip log bag :P

Ooooh do I detect a fellow Exvangelical? 👀 Another fascinating book about that topic is “Jesus & John Wayne” by Kristin Kobes Du Mez
I will put it on the list! Appreciate the recommendation!
It's a good life to leave in the rearview!

Dude, Crime and Punishment is cringe.
Explain?
I’m happy to have this discussion. It’s a classic.

As a russian i would say Crime and Punishment just a bit overrated. Where are some more interesting books, but they are also a bit harder to read.
