Webm Thread: Rhetorical Edition

What the fuck.

I mean its not like a failure like you would be allowed to have kids if there were eugenics

...

Couldn't you tell just by looking at him?

Epic.
I have a loving wife and we're planning on our first soon.
What have you done with your life, user?

Anyone who thinks this show isn't excellent, has shit taste.

He looks like a fucked up potion seller.

vegans are usually insane but this guy went off track surprisingly fast even for a vegan, you don't get that crazy without some heavy drug abuse or extreme emotional trauma.

Its a really good show no doubt

...

...

Henshin by shindol before anyone asks.

So like, what's the deal with "desu"? When does one pronounce the 'u' in it? Is it just a regional difference, like the pronunciation "hour" in America vs. the rest of the world?

...

...

Desu is japanese for "is", so one of the most common words, and gramatically put at the end of a sentence. It's commonly abbreviated to "des" when there's no word after it.

...

...

...

Can't wait 10/10 sure to be the defining moment in Star Trek history, especially since now we can do absolutely anything by making it all happen prior to TOS.

They never learn kek

DELETE THIS!

Wait, THIS is kemono friends?

Why the fuck is this garbage popular? That webm is less than 3 minutes and it was a chore to watch.

What the fuck is this shitty animation?
modern animu was a mistake

This vid was something the director made from his own money after the anime finished airing, and it doesn't even feature the main characters. Not saying you have to like KF or anything, but episode 12.1 isn't the most indicative. Episode 1 is pretty shit as well

oh god…

But user, if this is just before TOS, why do they have women in command of ships, something kirk argued against, the wrong uniforms, not a single one of those skimpy dresses Uhura used to wear anywhere in sight, why did they change the look of the klingons, again, and why do all there bridge consoles look so much more advanced than the TOS ones they would be using 10 years latter.

...

How about a couple more webms?

They're commies in space, the women turned into whores, the computers into toasters, you're witnessing what communism does to a society, it degrades and goes back in time.

Because the jews at CBS don't give half a shit about continuity?

And another

>Star Trek actors eventually turn into literal attention whoring faggots See: George Takei & Patrick Steward

...

So it's still set in the Kelvin timeline then. Dropped.

...

...

...

...

...

what the fuck is this shit

it was funny to me at least
knocked my sides off balance.

...

apparently it's set in the OG timeline, for whatever goddamn reason
they could have at least set it further in the future and not make it a goddamn prequel

...

Direct prequel to OG Star Trek but after Enterprise. Uploading MP4 since I'm too lazy to re-encode this as well to the golden format and don't wanna YT embed but basically this is now the same universe as the original series, it's totally different but also the "prime" timeline because. Also Sarek is a multidimensional planeswalker, you have to kill him or blow up the Federation. Everyone involved in this has likely been fired at least once but it hasn't helped.

Don't forget Shut up Wesley.

...

...

Fuck that low quality webm

...

Even though Star Trek has always "pushed boundaries" so to speak, that's pretty over-the-top race-bating, which doesn't even make much of a difference because black women have been present from the very beginning. You'd think that after 60 years of properly implemented minority characters that they could've figured out how to do it by now. Anyways, I'm pretty disappointed that the only thing they took from Star Trek is the race-baiting and name because this looks almost nothing like it at all. I had hopes because I didn't think that it'd get much worse than Enterprise, but once again they have surprised me.

That's more fucking retarded thing I've heard this week.

...

Looking it up shit like Ant-man did better than that movie which is a little comforting.
Fuck you CBS

...

...

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA NIGGERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

The leaves thing isn't video games jokes though, it actually has a legitimate real-world mythology reasoning.
The short of it is that Nook really rips you off

Here's the music from the beginning if anyone wants it.

...

...

old star trek
new star trek

this is why they'll miss us when we're gone

star trek was always filled with niggers.
the only thing now is that they've managed to make it even more race bait filled.

???

...

Remember that time Kirk promoted racemixing?

I did not know this. I didn't believe it but it's true. Fucking hell.
He does not look like a kike. Is he one of those Rothschild-type, non-semitic kikes?

At least the best characters are white.

Lad, I like Star Trek as well but Star trek has always been pozzed.

wtf is that lonely vent thing?

It's actually taken out of context. The idea is that they befriend some weird Roman midget who has had his telekinesis taken away and then they fight some Romans who actually do have telekinesis. Their leader is a perv and used his telekinesis to force Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and Chapel to act in some drama and then he forced Kirk and Uhura to kiss while Kirk was calling him depraved and glaring at him the entire time. Nevertheless, it doesn't even actually look like a kiss and it cuts away because the executives freaked out. It was actually supposed to be cut our with an alternative scene, but Shatner kept on redoing the scene until the end of the shooting so that they didn't have anything else to fill it with.

How naiiv you are, user.
Someone wrote that script. This was racemixing propaganda.

There's literally nothing wrong with racemixing

...

How is that bait? Name one thing wrong with race mixing

is that slightly more effort?

It actually is. That would almost make me respond in earnest to the question.

spooky

kek

don't humor the baiters.

I'll remember that for next time

Isn't the point of Star Trek to "watch the adventures of the Enterprise's crew"? I mean, a global focus.
But on that shit trailer the focus is on "muh independent strong real womyn" arc, more than on the shit going on.

The fact that it was always socialism in space, and the first series that tried to move away from that had a black lead, should tip people off that it is pozzed as fuck.

...

Good shit.

I'm sorry, what?

I always get a chuckle out of that DM webm considering that at the hardest difficulty the enemies have such huge amounts of health that the only way to progress through the game without circlestrafing for days is to kick them off ledges or into insta-kill objects like wall spikes.

Not spooky enough, just feels like a generic quest giving NPC

I think it was their chinky attempt at saying "push"

would colonize.

what?

...

Maybe I should rename it HЯAH instead.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Why would you make webms of that cancerous meme video?

...

...

:^)

Wouldn't this get you extremely v& ?
Also it's a bit strange that all these dudes react immediately, I get a towelhead with a bag pretty much only means one thing, but there's not even a few seconds of gears turning or processing what the fuck just happened. Oh well, still funny stuff.

There's probably people who didn't react but they obviously show the ones who instantly thought they were getting 9/11ed

WE WUZ KLINKANZ

what a qt

First season is pretty great. But if next seasons will be like the manga then I'm not going to watch it. Later on it's your typical "too be continued" story that will drag for fucking ever.

Later chapters become more and more watered down and story doesn't seem to progress for a very long time instead there is more focus on numerous side characters that are not that interesting.

Pic sort of related

I'm willing to bet a lot of those people were in on it. Still funny.

I read the mango up until chapter 50 or so because the show's webms looked interesting, and it's fucking trash.
Past the initial introduction(which is pretty cool since the characters are nice) it's all shonen or highschool bullshit, with lots of retarded asspulls like "Ha, your abilities didn't work on me because our blood types were the same! Me, the super smart and ebil villain who thought this whole thing through didn't even consider this fatal weakness even for a sec"

Amazing.

The only thing that ammounts to Bloodtypes was Stain's shenanigans.
Personally I like that it tries to keep a pretty steady pace and most of the side-characters are pretty likable besides the Midget and the Material producing girl.

It was just the last straw that made me drop the comic for real.If everything's gonna be solved away with asspulls like that or "I just gotta use 120% of my power,.,. heh.,,.,." I might as well read something else.

...

...

...

I didn't like the previous movies so I don't really care about this one but that part where the ship emerges from the clouds was too much.

Do people actually like this? This constant clash of fantasy and realism. Choose one and stick to it and if you want to change it then at least wait some time instead of jumping back and forth. STOP FUCKING MOVING EVERYTHING YOU FUCKING FUCKS! STOP FUCKING MEANINGLESSLY MOVING CAMERA YOU FUCKERS!

Are you fucking retarded, mate?

...

You and your wife will be hanged next to your child.

Because it's preferable to a character who's fights ammount to 1 hit kills while keeping him a reasonable threat to be somehow beat.Even then it's not like they were completely immune,the effect just lasted less,which would be pointless for any fight that's not 1vs1+X considering what it does.
Besides, for it to be an infuriating asspull it had to bestablish WAY before the confrontation what was Stain's power set much earlier than it did actually did.
I don't remember anyone even bothering with that besides the guy with the Hard-on ability and the MC himself,which fucks him over. Except maybe All-might,the Superman-knockoff for obvious reasons.

Star Trek has ALWAYS BEEN an allegory of the communist wet dream, you fucking dipshit. And as has been mentioned, HALF THE CREW IS KIKES.

You'll be gone way before me, user. How fucking stupid can you be.

I almost feel bad for the Trekkies.

Hold on, did they seriously put the bridge at the top with a huge windshield? I thought it was pretty clear that it was always a monitor.

...

Well, there goes my afternoon.

Zero effort, you worthless fucking faggot.

In nucanon, it’s glass. It cracks on both the Kelvin and the Enterprise in the first of the reboot films.

And yet somehow it still looks mildly entertaining.

What program do you guys use to edit? I've been trying to edit a video down to a few seconds then turn it to a webm.
I used something called movavi or something like that, but that didn't handle .mkv files well, and when saved to .avi failed completely.
I also tried lightroom, but that refused to import any video files, saying they were all corrupt.

I've got the WebM Converter by nixx and ffmpeg, so I can easily make the webm, I just can't fucking edit the source properly.

What the fuck? Guess they took one of the few things that actually made sense and hardly any other sci fi movie did and backpedal on it.
That reminds me, wasn't there some scene in the new Star Wars where a corvette rammed a Star Destroyer?

That would come out as NYA-AHN, so use HbRH instead or just HRH
Russian transcript: НЬЯН or НЯН

Yep. The only redeemable thing about that film is that all the ✡good guys✡ die.

Please tell me the fucking bus actually hit her.

isnt this the same fag that bought glasses to see colors for the first time?

please tell me you're going to jump in front of a bus today

...

...

That actually looks like it could be enjoyable. The humor appears to be far less crude and perverse as McFarlane's usual stuff. It'll probably still have a lot of poz but maybe it'll be alright.

...

It just works.

...

...

...

...

...

I'm not sure if you're serious or if you're sharing cringe to laugh at.

Is he a salesman of waterfilters made in Russia?

It is pretty ironic that something called GETchan is home to Communists that are more than happy to cheat by wordfiltering /sp/ gets

Communists have never been afraid to alter history if it benefited them.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Historiography_in_the_Soviet_Union

That actually looks entertaining. Thanks for making a mp4 of the trailer.

I think they were actually saying Kangons in that promo

...

Did I watch the same trailer? It's a bottom of the barrel normalfag comedy. Almost literally Family Guy.

is that the voice actor of fry from futurama?

...

game?

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Not so much, but essentially a sell out faggot with ads up the ass.

Fucking commies. Shitty animation, shitty music and ruining catgirls on top of it all.

Whats this guys name?

...

...

Seth Macfarlane can actually be pretty funny when he tries. Plus Jon Favreau directed the first iron man.

...

...

...

...

...

That looks like it controls like complete shit. Is it any good?

The bat mobile is fine when playing the story, but the race courses give a time slowed bonus for drifting and it takes allot of getting used to.

why did they dub something so simple and still manage to make it sound like ass

man why are images being slow to load

...

how bad did shit get in urkraine? i thought it was just a small skirmish

I can't find any of the clips right now, but all of Seth's shows have actually been decent recently with them even making mention of the fact that they were pretty shitty for a period of time.

Faggots like you belong on a cross.

Japanese funk has already happened and is good right now.

As for editing, if you're not an idiot just use ffmpeg. If you are an idiot, like me, go and look up "Webm for Retards" someone on halfchan made a fork of ffmpeg that's specifically for webms, it's easy to use and encodes a hell of a lot faster than that program people throw around in that one webm tutorial posted on here.

It's an anime about a girl that can read minds. She read the guys mind and saw he wasn't paying attention so she stopped him from getting hit.

And now for some video game webms since this is Holla Forums

...

Superior version

That's fucking adorable. Worth watching? Name?

...

It's a webm from ~2013.

delete this

It's called Kotoura-san. I think it's pretty good, but the first 10 minutes of the first episode try really hard to sell you that her having mind reading powers isn't a good thing.

I've never seen that one, too bad Shooting Stars is a dead meme now.

...

...

Goddamn you're one dumb fucking underage b&.

Calm down user.
He's the one who sold out to jews.

that's not mousou_telepathy.png

looking for a webm about edited about vr porn

He just took the internationale and put shitty nip singing over it. So yeah.

**How do I make webms
Is there a pastebin on this shit?**

the game's not worth playing, no. if you mean the batmobile sections, you play them in tank mode where you blow up a bunch of samey drones hundreds of times. the race courses are riddler bonus shit.

sure
bfy.tw/9z1

That links looks way too illegitimate and I don't have NoScript on this computer

...

There is probably a more up to date version but it works.

...

...

Red21 or MrVrschool(presumably his old accountname as it shows as the url on his channel).

Nothing personnel.

It's pretty cute. The first episode is pure HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND until tall guy shows up.

He said "harrowing years", you illiterate nigger.

...

Yeah, heroin is very harrowing.

Probably as

Said.
I mean this is supposed to be funny, if they kept in the people that didn't react or didn't go panic mode it wouldn't be as funny, so they probably cherry picked the best reactions.

I wasn't talking about how they all reacted, but how they all reacted immediately. Humans need a second to react, more if they need to understand what's happening. All the people in the video look like they have a fish's C-start reflex.

The video is sped up.

They have been vanned, they're currently in court battles ATM trying to keep their asses out of the pokey for a few years for creating public terror

apparently Let Me Google That For you has its own link shortener now, that's where it goes

...

I am 10 mins into the episode and it's depressing.

...

...

...

...

How did I do for a first attempt?
Main problem was using a trash source video, but I don't care so much about that.

Can't see anything wrong with it from where i'm sitting.

Is Brooklyn 99 worth watching all the way through, or should i let it sty dropped?

I watched the first season and a half as they came out, then drifted off. Not for any reason, I just forgot one week then didn't start up again.
Thought about it then marathoned S1-3 and caught up with S4, and it's definitely worth watching.

All of the episodes are good, and each season is as strong as the others. Only sore thumbs were a few of the preachy episodes, like last fortnight's attempt to talk about cops targeting black people. It was fine enough, not terribly hamfisted, but lacked as they tried to play constant comedy every 30 seconds, which makes you confused on how to respond.

Pretty much echoed what I was thinking. It works better when it's being a parody of movie and tv cops and not when it wants to be realistic and Very Special Episoding you unconscious..

Not many PSA-style episodes. Maybe 1 each season.
Samberg is really good in it. He can really easily swap between serious and comedic in a heartbeat, which works quite well for the show as they don't want to make crime funny/appealing.

I dunno, i never like the Chief's husband, even when he's hilarious in a scene-by-scene context, just because of muh gays muh discriminations. He's better as this uptight other half to a very uptight character, the fact that they had very little to do with him once muh gay got swept under the rug just shows what their priorities were when writing.

Now git back to posting some webms.

This is pretty easy, now that I've started.
A problem, however, is that I can't get an srt file to overlay while using xmedia recode.

Yessir.
They still bring up the homosexuality and bring the husband around, but it's not as often as S1

...

...

...

...

why does leftypol view themselves as an angry neko?

I'm from Sabadell and I say kill them all.

...

what does this thread have to do with video games?

Too stupid to make something related?

First episode is good shit because S U F F E R I N G
Later episodes are generic trash
The girl is generic trash
The relationship is generic trash
You'd expect Kotoura to be all lovey dovey with Tardman after a long period of mistrust and self-doubt because S U F F E R I N G , but even after we've fucking established the feelings are mutual and nobody is getting hurt, it's still the same prude shit as every other gooktoon about relationships

I feel cheated out of like two hours I could have spent working or even watching some other shit. I have specifically checked this one out because of the webum expecting puppygirl love and retard man being a total bro, got hooked on by the blatant emotional bait in the first episode, and kept watching to see if it gets better. But it doesn't. Good fuck, the real suffering is watching this shit. What a waste of a premise.

My sides are one with Mother Moon.

I need a trump edit of those two seconds now.

...

I could handle her being a shamelessly pandered black women if she were at least an appropriate age. Why the hell is a 20-something being put in charge of a shit-ton of people's lives? Oh, right, because anyone that isn't millennial-aged is automatically a bigot.

...

Someone make a conspiracy theory about how Egoraptor changed with the X-Files them and circling the background 'alien' in a freeze-frame. I'd do it myself, but I'm a massive faggot.

...

This guy's good, but he's got a lot of room for improvement.

Fuck, this is the second time I was criticized for this shit, alright I'll try and be autistically fast this time instead of enjoying the level my way, give me a few mins.

Hello, am I late to the party?

>Bound to be the only one here who liked the New Trek films
Looks like a great prequel to the trilogy, but I thought fuck-all happened during the 20 years the first film took place, that this series is suppose to take place prior to TOS, and why am I detecting the taste of what I think is Robotech?

You mean like somewhere in the gap of time between TOS and Next Gen, sometime after Voyager, sometime after New Trek, or just about any of those?

Thank you for posting Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues. Seriously, though, that does look more faithful to ST than what CBS is pushing out.

...

Gentlemen… i present to you the amazing bulk. its on amazon prime

and of course the transformation scene

...

...

Reminded me of this

Only reason Midori won that fight was Stain got distracted and Stain actually liked Midori for meeting up to his standard of what a hero should be. Thus he went easy on him even saving him.

He's still at 5% of his power at the current issue that's been released and it's already stated that he will become badass as fuck.

...

...

Where did you get that idea?

That's not how you make record times. But really, you're doing good, like I said.

There are lots of little things you can do to conserve momentum. For instance, at the beginning, when you use the bounce ring before attacking the second set of drone enemies, you could instead use a homing attack at the last second before hitting the platform. This puts the momentum you gained from the homing attack into your run speed, rather than losing your forward momentum by doing a bounce. This is also true of grind rails. In general, any time you're in a free-fall, it's usually best to homing attack as close as you can to whatever you expect to land on, but this is not always the case.

When you spindash up the slope at 1:01, you free-fall to the grind rail. Sometimes, more time can be saved by using the bounce ring to fall faster, rather than waiting.

When you cancel out of a spindash, you retain the momentum you gained from using it, but you also lose the momentum much faster on foot. People underestimate how fast you build speeds on slopes. Metal Harbor doesn't have many places to take advantage of it, but you can build crazy momentum by staying in ball form in lots of stages.

holy shit that's perfect.

Umaru is shit.

Yeah, people say that.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

I like that guy. He does a reasonably good job with his reviews.

Goddamnit user I was having a good day.

A simple search shows they have massively lost views

Views with JonTron are in the millions, views with Danny are in the 200-300K range

They're still getting 200-300K a video, but nowhere near the views they got with JonTron

...

...

...

user, you need to stop having a good day then.

...

so without weak men there is no strong men
check mate

The fuck am I gonna do getting mad at the video of that cunt? Go punch some tumblrite? Kill them even? Yeah fucking right. I already vote, there's not much else I can do.

Too right.

send emails, vote more.

...

Also convince other to vote because, at least in the US voter turnout is a fucking joke.

I live in a commie state, if anything I should be telling them to stay home.

Then do that, remind them that its a "safe state" political terminology unrelated to "safe space" and that they don't have to vote or convince them that because its a safe state they should vote green in hopes of creating a more politically diverse democracy.
god damnit stop making me pol post

It's a webm thread, what else will we talk about. Also this is a pretty civil discussion, I think it's fine.

...

...

Isn't the point of the bounce ring that he's able to preserve the enemy kill chain and getting a bigger score bonus? Which isn't going for time, but that's not necessarily the point.

Pretty sure views in general have gone down, so comparing videos years apart isn't a good idea.

He's right, you know. Listen to that drum, it's incredibly clean sounding. Especially in a time when people were playing around with fuzz and reverb to experiment with sound, in between the age of punk and shoegaze were starting to become thing.

...

you heard of the loudness war? It's even worse today

Shame that he stopped making videos.

...

Only because sound engineers are dazzled by big numbers over making an overall statement with your music. There's a way to use loudness and clipping especially, but people don't. Like simple ideas being turned into big budget triple A Ubishit because profits.

...

the "q" stands for QUALITY

I like the way you think.

...

The video on the loudness war is a good starting point, but a lot of the reason producers have moved up the other channels is because what sells ATM is a strong midrange/lowrange sound stage, there's not much demand for a huge percussion in songs much anymore

This for example is mostly mid/low range

His example only works for that song, it doesn't work for this song if you reduced the sound floor of the bass/guitar just so you could hear the bass drums/snares better

...

...

...

Or say this song, where the mid range (Tenor) of Chris has to come forwards

IE - His example only works for that one song, not all songs, the example he provided the percussion is the emphasis of the music, not the rest of the song

Yeah that's exactly what I was doing with the bonce ring. i just really enjoy chaining all of those eneimes at the start of the level.

...

...

...

...

Or this for example the emphasis is all on the bass and all the C-E notes they keep hitting

Again what he says make sense, but it doesn't apply to all songs, I clearly hear the bass and low notes far more than the percussion

...

I can clearly hear the individual sound stage for each one, but I provided 3 examples of why songs sound like they do

His argument is that songs today all the sound stages are the same volume, I clearly disagree

...

...

...

No. The first episode is breddy gud but after that it becomes a dull-as-dishwater Haruhi knockoff with a shoestring budget.

Why are you trying to argue in a thread that mainly agrees with you? Loudness isn't a cancer that's consuming all of music with it, it's an honest mistake made by producers and sound engineers that works sometimes and has problems where not. You might as well argue for cement.

...

I just hear the loudness war being mentioned more and more lately, the thing is a lot of people making the argument use examples that only apply to one type of music

I was just explaining why "The loudness war" tends to be bunk 99% of the time, it's just people who hate different styles of music and don't understand why other area's are louder than others

And if you'd read the thread instead of trying to correct the record, you would have seen that argument already being made.

Ah, well I did jump in late

OK I know there are tricks and shit, but this is the best your getting out of me.
I like playing the game my way too much, at least I was able to shave off 9 seconds and still get the A rank.

...

...

Seriously, most crowds at events like that are full of the densest and most entitled pieces of shit, on both sides. People who still think that public debate panels are an even half forgivable
form of argument need to go have one of those in fucking Iraq.

...

...

...

I don't feel like sitting any more…

...

...

...

...

...

...

Glad to see someone liked my Webm enough to save it.
I'm also autisticly in love with the Shadow and Rouge Chaos control moment. that shit was so bad ass as a kid.

...

...

...

...

...

Welp that should be good for now.

...

This whole game was badass as a kid. Back then, the final Sonic/Shadow confrontation was just awesome.

...

it's a shame that Sonic rarely has a good rival now a days, non classic Sonic is a pretty boring when he doesn't have someone to play off of.

Jon videos also pulled around that range in their heyday, though it's interesting that it hasn't really increased, despite their increased subscriber count.

Pretty good, nigga.

Holy shit, I didn't know that. I got A rank on every level, so it's not necessary, but I wonder if it would have made any of the hard ones easier. I was never sure how I should feel about the fact that there's an upper limit on how many points you can earn via pure speed, and have to collect rings and kill enemies to get A ranks. Is there a reason Shadow doesn't get the bounce ring? It always struck me as a glaring flaw.

If they'd found a way to continue Shadow's story and personality from Sonic Battle, instead of making Shadow The Hedgehog, he'd still be a perfectly good foil for Sonic even now.

here is an update version of that vid cus the sound is off buy a few seconds.

and yeah as long as you don't touch your feet to the ground you kill chain will continue.

Pretty bad. It became a full blown war in August 2014. After that only Minsk agreements are limiting it.
It isn't a "small" skirmish.

Whats that manga called again?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oyasumi Punpun (Goodnight, Punpun)

Thanks man

Well I went and watched it. It had its moments. The romance felt REALLY drawn out for a 12 episode anime. First episode was 8/10, writing was pretty awful at some parts though. They took the "ero" jokes way too far, all that time should have been used for other plot relevant shit or character development. The detective arc was retarded. The threat felt like a complete non-threat with that stupid baton, and the danger is over so soon after it's built up. I was hoping for a fight scene between Manabe and the detective but a got a fucking hug out. What the fuck was the point. Last episode was extremely anti-climatic. The beef between Kotoura and her mother was resolved in like a 3 fucking minutes. And Manabe didn't even kiss Kotoura. Like fuck guys, give me something to work with here.

Really wanted to like it, but extremely flawed: 6/10

...

There ends up being a bully plot with the other girl that likes the tard and the psychic interested girl also has a S U F F E R I N G backstory. But yeah, it's far too normal in the middle of the show.
Since you've got the general context just skip to the last episode it has her finally meeting her mother again.

for awhile it was basically a full-fledged civil war. it's still pretty fuckin violent, and kiev is making some truly insane demands and statements right now regarding crimea. frankly i'm surprised there isn't more coverage, especially since according to the media right now russia invaded and annexed crimea and are also the purest evil on earth

...

...

It's a dude, isn't it
