I spent a lot of time on yuri subreddits, and someone would occasionally post Yuri Gagarin as a bit. Technically violated the rules, but I think everyone just collectively decided we could have a little Gagarin. As a treat.

    Why not both? Both kinds of Yuri bring joy

    I have nothing but admiration for Gagarin. Man went through excruciating training and risked his own life just to not be in Soviet Union for 1.5 hours.

    We should also remember Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov, the first person to die in space. He knew that the Soyuz 1 was held together by nothing but tape and the people's trust in Soviet socialism, and his refusal to withdraw from the program saved Gagarin's life, who was second in line to pilot the spacecraft. The parachutes failed to deploy on reentry and he was killed during descent.

    He had an open casket funeral. CW: burnt and mutilated human remains

    Looking at your comment history, I think you need to understand that:

    • this is not a formal platform and so there is no expectation to adhere to any language rules when commenting
    • there are other spelling variants for the words you're familiar with
    • prescriptivism in language is unproductive, especially when you toss an insult into a subset of your comments

    There's more to the English language than just knowing how to spell.

    Bro is correcting posts that say "flex" to "brag", even where "brag" clearly would not substitute into the sentence. "Based" into "acided" when the origin for that use of "based" has nothing to do with acid, and also "acided" isn't a word.

    They don't care about English and don't understand these terms they're correcting. They're just advertising how zoomer slang triggers them.
