  • As someone from Russia, we have even larger territory, and going by rail is almost twice as cheap as by plane.

    High speed rail from Saint Petersburg to Moscow will cost you ~$45, going by plane will set you back ~$75 on the cheapest flight with hand luggage only. Considering the time losses associated with airports, you’ll be at your destination almost as fast for way cheaper, so this option is widely preferred.

    Same story with long distance trips - I plan on going for a 1000km trip in July, and train ticket costed me the same $45, while cheapest plane tickets go around $100. It’s also a night train with beds and all, so I have one night accommodation for free while on my way. Depart - have a nice sleep - be on your destination in the morning and have a full day to yourself, fully rested.

    If you’re feeling adventurous, you can go all the way from Moscow to Vladivostok by single train for $250. This will take almost a week, but it will get you around half the planet for that money.






  • As long as they want sexual connection as well, they technically are (Incel = involuntarily celibate)

    But the way incel culture manifested itself, incels began being associated with angry envious misogynistic young men, which is not great and certainly not a good mental framework for someone who just wants intimacy

    There are many ways people can start thinking of themselves as undesirable, unwanted, perpetually lonely, and we need to provide some social example for them to begin realizing flaws in their mentality, not reinforcing them.

    We should also combat the notion that relationships are everywhere and easy to find, and make sure to note many, many cases of people finding their first true love way after 30, 50 or even 70. It’s just never too late, and it’s not a race in the slightest.

    Witg the diversity of attractions, what one may find undesirable may be what the other desperately seeks.
