i don't care who uses it or not and it's not because of my general aversion to profanity (which is a whole another story) but 🇷🇴 profanity in particular for some reason gives me a specifically strange and weird feeling hearing or seeing it. not purely and simply a typical offended feeling (though it is offensive), but a discomforting feeling.
it doesn't necessarily totally make me feel uncomfortable as I (more infrequently than others) use it too, but it sounds kind of off-putting to my ears.

Cannabis is heavily restricted in 🇷🇴 and THC-containing products are illegal but I once saw CBD gummies being sold in some health store I only went to once, and I distinctly remember that a specific package/brand claimed that it may carry traces of THC due to using natural hemp or whatever, so I don't believe that the law is that consistently enforced as the 🇷🇴 gov wants you to think it is.
Or maybe that product was a rare limited exception...

"I can’t tell you when this full-scale invasion will end.
But I can tell you, having witnessed 47 months of it, that #Ukraine stands. Its government still stands. And, most importantly, its people still stand"
@ocskpostoj you have been approved!
Good morning readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.
Steven Moore and I agree on at least one thing: we want Ukraine to win.
But what divides us is that Steven thinks Trump is critical to Ukraine winning, while I think we need to abandon the illusion he will help Ukraine. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/debate-is-trump-a-viable-mediator
(If you haven't noticed I've been doing mostly the talking about my musical experiences and preferences, as I've been wanting and preferring to do that for a while now. also: this post will have a mix of 🇷🇴 and 🏴 language)
Am mai ascultat manele înainte, doar că prefer alte genuri, cum ar fi europop și dance-pop.
Nu urăsc manelele. Ceea ce urăsc este cât de des văd acest gen, în timp ce altele sunt îngropate.
E ca și cum, imaginează-ți că locuiești în SUA, dar 90% din populația țării preferă în mod covârșitor muzica country. Asta e ceea ce simt uneori în 🇷🇴 când caut muzică nouă în această țară. Chiar și atunci când vreau să mă uit la alte melodii din alte genuri muzicale în limba mea, nu pot evita manelele. E peste tot! I'm like, „Nu, ești bine, dar nu vreau să ascult același gen în fiecare zi doar pentru că e popular.” Îl ascult doar foarte ocazional. (i like some songs tho)
(one thing I do notice, oddly, is that the mainstream radio stations, especially the ones that play mostly English language pop music, barely play any manele at all despite it being relatively popular in 🇷🇴)
And also. Îmi place muzica pop din 🇷🇴 (în special cele mai noi și cele din anii 2010), dar nu-mi place cum unele posturi de radio sau playlisturi fac o throwback la anumiți artiști care nu-mi plac. (it's actually why i almost ended up becoming one of those who exclusively listen to english language western music, till i realized i enjoy some songs in other languages too)
