What century is this artifact from?

@dommymommy This!
In absolute most cases I don't even know what the stuff they ask about looks like. People have been asking me about Android long before I had a device running it, and even now I only have a handful of apps and I'm literally clueless what WhatsApp or Facebook can't do and what it can't 🤷

@DotardTed
For people living in poverty it's way worse, they went for alcohol that's not even intended to be consumed as beverage, like alcohol-containing lotions, so-called «фунфырики», there was a well-known case a few years ago in Siberia when over 50 people got poisoned with technical alcohol.

With strong alcohol it's even more complicated — cheap imported stuff is just as bad as local, there are a few local brands of vodka that manage to have highest standards of quality, but keep the prices affordable, but they aren't well-known, not widely available, thus not popular.

> trend of decreasing consumption of alcohol
I always found it hard to believe, they use really weird methods to count and it's a decrease in *legal* alcohol consumption. Moscow is hardly the poorest region, but even here moonshine has seen a massive resurgence.
Alcohol is either too expensive or low-quality. I'm buying cheap German beer now — it's shit, but it's still better than most local stuff and at least cans are 0,5 litre, not 0,42 or something like that.

Why would US do it and not prevent its construction from being finished? That option was always on the table.
Why do it when it wasn't even used to transport anything any more? When the explosion happened it was dry already with minimal internal pressure, look it up.
I know, it fits really well into US being evil, but the details don't make any sense.

Sorry for Google Translation, I'm too lazy to do this one myself, here's the link to it not to mess with the screenshot: https://ovd-news.translate.goog/express-news/2023/03/17/v-dva-moskovskih-bara-prishla-policiya-tam-zaderzhivayut-lyudey-vizit?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Moscow riot police is doing a crackdown on bars to celebrate Putin's newly found international recognition. They make guests sing "patriotic" songs. What's ironic is that singer of one of the bands in question — Lyube, is rumoured to be a citizen of Germany, or at least was living there for years until he got expelled recently — that's an exemplar Russian patriot for you!
It's not even a proper police-enforced dictatorship, it's like a very dark parody of it 🤦

Sorry for not responding to that post about people in prison. It reached me in the morning after having a bottle of cognac. I just couldn't come up with something meaningful and interesting to respond with 😅

She meant doing what they tell you in hopes that they let you off the hook. Her point was the parent should be grasping for last straw when it is about children. I think I convinced her that while this is what most parents would do, this man was just wise enough not to do things that have never worked.

Apparently, Russia abandoned all the human rights conventions so it'll only get worse 😩
But this game isn't meant to be enjoyed alone: https://mstdn.social/@stux/110039324435597964
No way to enforce this, but still an interesting development.
@amiloradovsky

@gemlog
Yes, too depressing. I know the details because we were discussing this case with my friend. She was all "Why did he just not do what he was told to keep the child?" — that was quite a surprise, her thinking that it's possible to negotiate with FSB. People get out of touch with what it's like to be here when they leave Russia 😅

@neural_meduza Ну в принципе, практически так дело и было… 😄

@neural_meduza Это не суицидом называется, хоть и тоже на «с» 🤫

He's KGB, he was above the law throughout all his life and got used to it.
It's just that being above international law didn't work so well 😅
