The whole druggie needles everywhere problem is not that prominent here. I'm sure it's still a thing somewhere, but it doesn't get that much spotlight. To be honest, I've rarely seen syringes or needles thrown on the streets/parks in my city.

@emilis @11112011 @TheAncestor
Oooohhh... ok. I was imagining sewing needles and I couldn't understand.

@emilis @11112011
Meh... still better than going all the way to 100. Besides, I'd play more vidya.

Who knows... There might be magical gypsy blood flowing through my veins, and I wouldn't even know.

@emilis @11112011
You're right. :hacker_i: get younger. I turned one year younger just last week.

I don't think wine qualifies as food. You've got cheese though I guess. That's close enough.

@colonelj @TheAncestor
That's not manele. First one is a more modern take on traditional Romanian music, and the other one is actual traditional Romanian music. Or how we call it "populară".

@emilis
No, this guy is pretty proud of his gypsy heritage. He did a bit of a publicity stunts in one of his concerts, where he revealed in the middle of the show that he was wearing a shirt that had "I'm a gypsy" on it. People were a little pissed that they went to a show that turned into a diversity training thing.

Madonna had a similar experience, when in the middle of the show she tried to preach against racism towards gypsies, and she was booed.

Didn't they used to use criminals as soldiers in war? I heard they did this for WW2.

@emilis
>are you really European if you don’t hate gypsies though?

Me: *existential crisis*

@emilis
I do know a gypsy that made decent music, and is pretty famous for it. But he didn't make gypsy music, he made ordinary pop stuff. His stage name is Connect-R, if you want to sample his stuff.

@kura
It's less poisonous. Or the effect changes to an undesired one. (maybe the poison is designed to attack your nervous system and it ends up giving you a heart attack instead).

@emilis
I guess gypsy fashion sense is pretty bad too... but if you were trying to ask if I hate gypsies in general, the answer is no.
