[QUOTE=McAdonis;2664266]The academic source you posted seems to use "Roman" and "Latin" interchangeably, and so he is establishing a link to the ancient Romans as opposed to modern-day Italian, Spanish, and French. The other "island of Latinity in a Slavic sea" source you posted, also on the same page says:
Language alone is not sufficient to retain cultural links, especially if geographically isolated over centuries. The Hungarians and Turkish languages arrived from Asia about a thousand years ago. But I am not sure that modern Hungarians or Turks feel much cultural affinity towards Siberian and Central Asian peoples. But I would concede that Hungary is much farther to Ural Mountains than say Bucharest is to Rome.
[/QUOTE]Yes Romania is a hodgepodge of multiple cultures but having slavic and other influences does not rule out previous Roman and thus Latin origins which heavily plays into contemporary manifestations. And not or. Me asserting Romanians to be Latin does not denounce Slavic influences, amongst many others. But still, the roots come from the same origin as the other Latin countries. That is quite a worthy consideration.
[QUOTE=McAdonis;2664266]Romanians desperately wanted to modernize (and westernize). So they made an active attempt to distance themselves from the Balkans, Slavs, and Hungarians and reconnect with their distant linguistic cousins
This is a bit negative, but some of Romania's fascination with Italy, Spain, and France (in the past) may owe to the fact that Romania is a small, poor country that has a history of being pushed around. Speaking with Italians and Romanians living in Italy, Italians seem to downplay the cultural similarities, whereas Romanians do the opposite. That might be partly due to Romanians' inferiority complex or just a way to establish rapport with Italians and seem less foreign.[/QUOTE]I think these statements actually further adds to their Latin identity, not detracts from it. By choice, they chose to emulate these other cultures. So their intentional will gravitated their culture to align with these western ones despite the regional slavic and turkish influence. That cultural manifestation of the people's deliberate intent is quite real and quite ingrained into modern day Romanian culture.
Combining Latin roots with contemporary desires to emulate the Western Latin countries over the proximal regional cultures as well the high prestige Germanic and Anglican ones, well I think that definitely pushed them squarely in the Latin camp by showing affinity towards Latin cultures over all others. How can the combination of historical roots and modern day deliberate intent not do so?
I'll further add that they are also quite similar to American Latinos, even moreso than their Europeans counterparts. That's likely due to the combination of the Latin roots with poor socioeconomic background as seen in Latin America.
I'll also reiterate the inclusion of Romanians in NYC Latin Culture. There's definitely a reason for that and it's not just language.

Lastly, albeit anecdotal, I'll draw from my personal experience. I sure do remember a lot of similarities between previous romantic partners. Romanians were quite similar to the Puerto Ricans and even more similar to the Italian-Venezuelan. Ever seen Romanians in a room with (Caucasian) Latinos? Let me tell you, seamless meshing of personalities.
Talk to middle class American Latinos who know middle class Romanians and I guarantee 2 out of 3 will say, "Oh yeah, they're Latin like us."

But basically 3 G stands for Geimpft, Genesen and Getestet. (Vaccinated, Recovered or Tested). 2 G+ is vaccinated or recovered plus test.
Basically under 3 G you can enter with just a test.

And then the Slavs settled and later the Hungarians, cutting them off from the Latin-speaking world. Only around the 19th century did Romania embrace French culture. I would say on an individual level it is much easier for one to embrace another culture. A White-American kid growing up the suburbs can listen to rap music and embrace Black-American culture. On a population level, I would argue that the acculturation process takes much longer, centuries even, and sometimes never. Bulgarian Empire occupied Transylvanian and Wallachia for 400 years and left indelible Slavic influences, but never assimilated them.
Romanians went from embracing French culture to Spanish and Italian culture in the 1990's. Due to linguistic links, learning Spanish or Italian is easy for them. Similarly, an English speaker can easily learn ebonics, serving as a gateway drug to Black-American culture. There is also a practical reason to de-emphasise French: push-pull factors that encouraged Romanian immigration to Italy and Spain over other countries. If your aunt marries an Italian man, you visit them in the summer or that Italian man finds you a job in Italy. Point is, Romanian is a small, poor, and economically insignificant on the world stage, so they will always have to be cultural chameleons. With YouTube and Netflix, we could easily imagine Romania's younger generation Anglicizing to a certain degree. They won't be forced to watch Spanish novelas on terrestrial TV like there parents were.

That varies from individual to individual. Some people are just social and outgoing and can easily connect with other people. And these traits are present amongst many Latinos and Romanians. Two Scandinavians, fuck two Swedish even, won't necessarily "mesh personalities" right away, despite sharing the same culture, unless there is a lot of alcohol involved. Women, in general of all nationalities, "personality mesh" better since they tend to be more talkative and more socially active. They also share a common bond as immigrants in the USA. A Romanian guy might not immediately mesh with a Latino guy. Romanian would certainly be more stoic (definitely not smiling, but not unfriendly by any means, just Slavic).

[QUOTE=PaulInZurich;2664598]McAdonis, that was a very good post about Romanians in general. It's pretty much my experience and the conversations I had with Romanians I know at work.[/QUOTE]Romanians are actually very hard worker, not when they suck and fuck our dick, but I had cleaning guy in palace Berlin long years ago and he was very professional at making my hotel room in place!
Also when I was in Bucharest even longer years ago, people who served me in hotel etc were very nice and professional! Good people!
Thanks our life that we were and still are lucky enough to be on the receiving end of this Romanian prostitute ring system LOL! Whatever that system maybe, we might as well as enjoy it while it last and before it becomes like Poland where economy got bit better and all of sudden all those polish blonde stunners we had in FKK are all gone! Vanished! Oh they were beautiful blondes from Poland! I hope it won't be the same story with Romanians!

[QUOTE=MrHo;2664683]So it is basically the system that was made to simplify things, but end up making our lives 10 times complicated at least LOL![/QUOTE]Yeah, not sure what's up with that. Some say our alien overlords are deep into nature conservation, thus we all have to use less resources. And this is just one part in looking us up.
Eventually we will all end up as brains in a jar hooked up to some Metaverse where we can control real world robots, animals and even travel to other star systems considering our brain can last longer than our bodies. And get less bored while hooked up to some Matrix fake world. Actually we are just trying to recreate what has already happened.
But the other side of this is that it will remove the only argument the anti p6 feminazies have against our hobby: since with this new system anyone trying to abused or oppress the girls will get instantly caught.
We just got to make sure women turn really slutty in the process, so that they will recruit themselves. This is where I disagree with the religions the most. But at least Instagram and Onlyfans might move us in this direction. Let's just see what will happen with this new Metaverse virtual reality thingy. It could be the end of our hobby, or a new beginning. But let's at least not spend money on silly camgirls. That business there is the worst!

At the moment though, I feel Facebook at least is trying to bet on something almost 10 years early.
The BMI is not there and a part of the headsets. The professors and memory connects are not good enough, and probably the global infrastructure is not there either. But its all in the pipeline and ready when the market allows it to.
Schwab and the gang was probably the ones pushing Facebook to bet on their metaverse also. Though Nvidia has a better more unable version ATM.

Currently though, with outside of the skulle interface we can only get sub 80% up / down connection to the brain.
[URL]https://youtu.be/SiO9PIMSYrw[/URL]
And if we aren't even using wearables, that falls down to about 70% with the new lasars in modern 5 G phones.
This is why I think the tiny modem chips are made through a process from the vaccines. In order to get us closer to 100% connection. It is funny when in that first video I linked he even mentions mind control. But laughs at the idea that mind control is not even at the top of our concerns regarding this new tech.

Imagine being able to hack every individual you meet. Like using Jedi Mind tricks on them. That is essentially what is technically possible. If not yet with 5 G, then surely with 6 G, 7 G or 8 G.
And with something like 8 G, using zenneck wave technology, we can even create buildings, and anything we want out of thin air through the use of foglets. So anyone not considering playing restrictions on people before this new tech will arrive in 20 or 30 years is objectively a bit mad. But Schwab won't tell you about that side of the story. He wants to be one of the few gods I suspect.

But I think the influences of Rome versus Gothic / Slavic / Hun influence weigh quite differently. Rome was an organized concept, others were tribal / ethnic occupation. The "civilized" core people of the time were the latin speaking core. Much like how organized high school and university has more influence on a person's individual core than future decades of random adulthood experiences, including parenthood.
Key phrase of yours, assimilated.

Randomly, I think the stoic Romanian image is a bit of a facade and most certainly a fading image. These dudes aren't hard and don't really seem to be trying to be, at least not the new gen. It's not what I've observed when seeing at these dudes on the Ro girl's Snaps and "Live" stories.
But in the end, what's your main point (of contention/challenge)? That Romanians should be considered more Slavic than Latin? That they're neither Slavic or Latin?
