    I have great respect for Gagarin, he went through grueling training and risked his life just to not be in Soviet Union for 1.5 hours

      I know who Kim is, that’s already too much. I know there’s a passel of them, but I have gone out of my way to not know who they are, or even recognize them.

      Soon, their nepo-babies will reach exploitation age, and they’ll inflict those animals on us as well.

        I couldn’t think of their names the only thing I could come up with was Chloe. Is there a Chloe Kardashian?

        I don’t even know what they do, what are the famous for?

          Yes, Chloe and Courtney, but we might be misspelling them. It could be a mortal kombat K.

          And they’re famous for being hot and having sex, but I don’t personally find them attractive and they aren’t exactly porn stars. They’re also models but that really is the effect more than the cause.

          TL:DR Sex.

          You’re welcome:) worth noting, Kanye is not and has never been accused of sexual violence, including manipulating underage girls, while Drake has been accused of sexual activities with underage girls. Kendrick Lamar made a song about it that was played on the half time show in one of the more recent Super Bowl games, I think the one before last.

          Kanye and Drake did have a song together with Eminem and I think Kid Cudi (it was alright, if you’re into that kind of thing, I don’t remember the name). :p

              Are you just a racist or something? You’re confusing Drake, who is known having sex with 16 year olds, and who Kendrick Lamar made a song about, with Kanye West, who has never been accused of pedo activity, though he is often referred to as a schizophrenic raciat who loves hitler and jewish people. Kanye West is famous for R&B, not mostly rap, not that he doesn’t rap.

              Go ask Samuel L Jackson about a commercial after working in the Matrix.

              edit: ight idk if I’m being harsh but this really irked me. People criticize Kanye for a lot, but as someone who is outspoken for Unchained At Last and has been somewhere unfortunate, it bothers me when people just throw pedo accusations at people who have never had anything on their plate (well in regards to that, he is known to be a total spaz but I love it). Pardon the wall of text.

                No I just thought Kim dated Drake. But I get that she dated Kanye now. I’m more aware of the musicians and their art than the whole celebrity dating scene. I guess that’s correlated to not being into Kardashian stuff.

                  Well maybe she did for all I know so I guess fair enough, but she’s an adult so she’s clearly too old for him

          She’s currently dating Lewis Hamilton. And I know this, not because I give a shit about celebrity, but because I’m amused by people strapping themselves into precision-engineered Formula 1 ground-missiles race cars.

      why would they? esp in America/Western countries. They know who Neil Armstrong is though.

      The Russian kids know who he is.

        Because when I was growing up in the 90s they used to teach this stuff in American schools; do they not anymore?

        I know who he is, I’m not Russian. I’ve have this amazing ability to be aware of the existence of people who are aunt from my country, which possibly does put me above your average American.

    Yeah, I was a teenager when i realised that I was paying too much attention to Chris Brown and Rihanna tussle. It was a gradual process that I actually became more interested in nerdy stuff like news (mainly geopolitics), military and history (thanks to strategy games) and environment (I should probably switch my career to this once I feel more financially secure).

      The fact that those topics are considered nerdy is really sad. These are all topics everyone should be concerned with.

        Do you interact with non nerdy people?

        They think it’s sad nerdy people are interested in nerd topics, and not the Kardashians. They also think you’re anti-social and elitist and pretentious if you don’t watch reality TV several hours per week, or sports.

    Gagarin was, as it says, the first to go to space and come back alive. Whether that’s true is debated. Gagarin was probably not the first to go to space, or come back. He was just the first to survive and land in the USSR.

    There’s a conspiracy theory that the first human to survive a trip to space was Vladimir Ilyushin, but he touched down in China. As well as a “number” of lost cosmonauts who “disappeared” https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cosmonauts
