For me, it’s linked with the amount of “local multiplayer” titles on Steam. There was fucking nothing! Ok, we could play nes or sega games, but it was strange to not have a lot of modern games. Thankfully, it’s slowly changing

Same as with Russian soldiers now
Edit: and always before

You have some right points, but also in one of the most used tanks (I forgot which one), crew were attaching a pillow to a sharp metal corner that you would hit with your head all the time. I’d call that utilitarian, as head trauma was avoidable in some cases.

I’m from a country where you can tip if you feel like it, I’m living in a country where you don’t tip, because employees are paid.
But when I was in the US, I understood how hard can it be to feel ok while not overpaying (because tipping is overpaying in many cases). I went to a concert, and there was a lady managing the automated wardrobe system. Leaving a jacket was $5, and on top of that you were offered to leave 10-20-40% tips. For what?
I entered “0”, the lady was looking at that, and she told me “THANK YOU, SIR!” in a very passive-agressive manner, so I felt like shit. But really, all I wanted is to hang my coat.

Turkey controls it, and Turkey does whatever they find useful that day. Right now, Russia sold out “allied” Armenia to Azerbaijan, and Turkey is a part of the regional muslim bloc. I have no idea of their agreements, but it’s not like Turkey is anything close to being reliable partner to western countries

Interesting - Novorossiysk was the furthest (from Ukraine) military port in the Black sea, and the ships were there because it’s harder to attack them there compared to Crimea. Where else could they hide, run away to Mediterranean? :)
Or am I missing something?

You sucked for so long that some interest was accrued? Niice!

I majored in stress working in retail

Great, I believe in humanity again!

Are you serious? Why do you care if he’s rabid if you’ll be dead?
When I was a teenager, I was walking past a bear cub (it was the middle of the city and some asshole took money for pictures with a “trained” bear cub). The cub didn’t like me for some reason I had a textile bag in my hand, with a leather-cover notepad in it, like a knock-off moleskin. The cub slashed the bag and his fangs cut through the bag and half of the notepad like butter. If it was my hip, he’d scratch my bones.
Now there are adult bears…

Ass wriggling on a chair: it is hard for me to keep one position

Pet them? wtf?

You bet I would

It’s only worse with seagulls. I saw a cool big speckled seagull once and decided to google how it’s called. It’s called “big speckled seagull”. A small gray seagull would be called a “small grey seagull”. All the other animals are usually called something cool, like if you see a big beaver, it’s “Johnson’s beaver”, or an eagle, and it’s called a “southern nesting eagle”.
Then a fucking seagull is a fucking seagull.

And I even forgot to mention that you should have been in a cage. A big one, not the chastity one.

Yes, I also imagined naked, crazy person writing this comment, giggling and salivating on the floor

Yes, “Dear” should be either something you send part-jokingly to your actually close colleague, or a sarcastic one, when someone seriously fucked up and you send them a message explaining that.

I’m 1(one) decade beyond, and I’m super short and direct with a hint of familiarity. It also works, because it feels humble. It is humble, because you can’t hide any second meaning behind “I do this, you do that, okay?”

I guess that’s just a first google picture result for that model

“Some people are tall, some not. I require a game to give me a choice of playing a tall character”. If the gender is insignificant, why waste the effort of making everything twice just to have that choice?
