    I'm gaining some fame over VK, the Russian social network. I've been posting comments to places...

What kinda things do you discuss? Genuinely curious. :)

Mostly linguistics. I don't have many things I'm subscribed to over there, but linguistic humor is something I can get behind. It helps that people there are genuinely curious about the subject and sometimes ask good questions and make good points. Most of them are well-meaning and sincere, too, so it's a good crowd to talk in.

Used to be a part of a Marvel/MCU community. Can't remember which, can't remember why I left. Used to connect the dots for people: remind them what's what, tell them something new I learned recently.

Then there's the "Recommended" page. It's a section of the feed that makes up recommended posts for me to see based on my friends and their choices ("That gal liked this piece of media? You might enjoy it, as well. Here you go"). Sometimes I reply to clarify things I know something about. Sometimes I cheer people up. Sometimes I reproach Russians for being so damn hypocritical and full of themselves, waiting for their problems to be solved 'cause shit's hard. Depends on the draw every time.
