In most cultures I am closely familiar with, "when in Rome, do as Romans do" is kind of an unspoken benchmark of how good-mannered, well-educated, and civilised you personally really are. A silent, unspoken, unseen and unacknowledged gesture that demonstrates that you were not simply trained to act appropriately in your native surroundings, but have the observance and sensibility to notice how people behave around you, and pick up on what is apparently considered the polite thing to do, and proper way to behave. It is a far better measure of having good manners than painstakingly memorising and rigoriously following some one specific book of etiquette rules.
And hilariously, this automatically categorises imperialist behavior as rude and uncivilised. Like ugh, are you seriously standing there throwing a tantrum at people who live here whose language you didn't even try to learn, about how they have not gone out of their way to learn to speak yours? How tacky and barbaric.

"There's no hope for the future." And that's how they felt during the Atomic Age, during the World Wars, during the Enlightenment Revolutions, during thr plagues, during the Viking raids, during the fall of Rome.
Yet, we persisted.

the 1997 Anastasia film decided rasputin made a better villain than the bolsheviks and i’m still reeling over the fact an american company was given a once-in-a-lifetime historically justified reason to vilify communism and they SKIPPED it

The delightful thing about Tumblr is that there's such a wide range of the kind of lives people are living, and they'll all update the mundane of their lives. Someone's worst rock bottom looks nowhere as bad as someone's best day ever, and sometimes you're just baffled. You could scroll past a post saying
Found a pistachio on the floor. No idea how long it's been there. Didn't eat it. #selfimprovement
And you're like alright yeah good for you. Glad that you're no longer doing. whatever it was that you were doing before.
