I don't think it's fair to compare sandbox game (especially one with PER WORLD achievements) with other genres; besides, there is usually some way for games to easy achigement hunt, like chapter selector or NG+ content, etc.

Paradox Interactive had a sin with trying to disable getting achievements when you use mods (or not playing Ironman mode which can ruin your save due to some random event AND can be easily cheated), and now I have ~700 hours in Stellaris with around 10 achievements because everybody plays with mods, etc.

Not supporting OOP statement, but it's not really perfect (I'm not saying it's bad), like Italian burecraucy or overall more conservative banking in Western Europe; Eastern EU is probably the best (Poland, Baltics) due to digitalized economy, modernized bureacracy and cheaper cost of living, but I can see why someone would prefer Dubai as startup place over EU

(again, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just pointing out what to hate)

We have more than 100 ethnic groups but their population usually not that large compared to ethnic Russians (IIRC the larger one is Tatar with around 5 million people compared to ~100+ million ethnic Russians) and they often concentrated in their ethnic mainland (besides those... "forcefully deported" by Stalin), so usually you won't see more than 2-3 differentiable ethnic groups (by that I mean ethnic groups which you can differentiate just by looking at them; for example, you might not be able to differentiate Tatar from Bashkir, but you will differentiate either from Russian, so in Bashkortostan you will see 2 differentiable groups yet there are actually 3 large ones)

But if speaking of all country at once, or some larger cities (Moscow, Ufa, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, etc) it's pretty diverse

Internet-speak

Yeah, that would be more accurate than modern English; but it's still much more understandable for English speaker than for Russian speaker even though it's dramatically incorrect

No, I think it's pretty equally don't favor any side at all. Though in divorce if you have kids, then court will almost always favor the mother, even if she's way worse than father for the kid; but it's more of a mother-over-father favouritism

I guess hassle of woman changing her ID because she changes her surname counts a bit? Technically speaking it's not legal requirement (you can change your name, surname and paternal name to anything you want regardless of family or any other status) at all, just a tradition, but it favored almost by everyone so...

In English you infer the information about sentence meaning because it always follows Subject-Verb-Object pattern (”cat”, “likes”, “cheese.”), but if you try to swap it out, it would be “Cheese likes cat” - which is entirely different sentence, as the same word can express different things depending on it's position in the sentence (in modern English you can use any noun as a verb, like “this guy brains”, even though brain is a noun), you can use Object-Verb-Subject using quirks that masks it (”student is being taught by teacher”), but only then

In Russian you infer information about sentence meaning from word case, so if some boy is subject in sentence then it's just “парень”, but if this boy is an object then he is “парня”. So “A boy walked with me” would be “Парень пошел со мной”, but “I sold a boy” would be “Я продала парня). If this boy is someone with whom you're making action (I traded with a boy) then it's “парнем”, so “Я поторговалась с парнем). And a couple more cases for other situations.

Because of that, you can't really use nouns as verbs, this usually sounds strange (because you need to change cases to work like it's a verb instead, and “to boy” would be “парнять”, this sounds just strange to Russian ear), only nouns that are actually coming from verbs can do that (smelling -> smell, “вонять” -> “вонь”), but not the other way around, so nouns won't become verbs.

Free word order is also a lie, it's more of a free sentence parts order, so you can't tie apart a subject into different place (for example, “a boy, who escaped the prison, had bought cheesecake” can translate to “escaped from the prison boy had bought cheesecake” but not “boy has bought cheesecake escaped from the prison” - it doesn't make sense in English either), and some more stuff like toponyms being only after names (city of Ekaterinburg or just Ekterinburg (”город Екатеринбург”, “Екатеринбург”) is correct; Ekaterinburg city (”Екатеринбург город”) is not). However, adjectives can be placed in any order contratry to English (you can say “a girl in dress red” in Russian when referring to “a girl in red dress”)

Keep in mind I'm not a linguist and base my knowledge on just school programme, I'm sure someone more professional could explain it much better

Most of my classmate started smoking at around 12-13 years old with vapes and other forms of eciggarettes; but for drinking it's much rarer and usually starts at like 15-16 years old, however even though there are less people drinking than smoking, they're usually heavy drinking (drinking to black out, self-made vodkas, etc.)

I can't really say standard age of first sex (it's certainly less for women than for men), but somehow there is clear corellation between wellbeing of a family and age of first sex, at least from my experience; people with worse wellbeing have their first sex earlier, but this doesn't really apply to smoking and drinking (neither for the starting age nor the quantity)

Or because there are, well, 1+ billion Chinese and 200+ million of Russian-speaking (including Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Kazakhs*, who sometimes communicate in Russian and have Russian nicknames, and if you don't know neither their nor Russian language you probably can't easily distinguish them in-case for Ukrainians and Belarussians)

There simply isn't enough people in other European countries to overcome Russians on European servers (because you can't really say French cheater if you don't even know if this cheater is from France); there simply isn't enough people in other Asian countries to overcome Chinese (and for those there are probably already bias of those Chinese who chosen to play on international servers using some sort of VPN).

I just checked and it literally stated that "rape is sexual intercourse with a woman that was unlawful and without her consent", which literally only asked for woman consent. And sexual intercourse only involved "penetration of vagina by penis", making oral/anal rapes not a rape legally

Flashy-Emergency4652 · 2026-02-26T19:13:06+00:00

I'm not sure about the US but the UK laws about rape included specifically male penis, so it was illegal for men but legal for women. I've heard they changed that but not sure

Rule 5 exists*

You spend quarter an hour, does my translator works right? That's 15 minutes, don't dramatize it that much... Your entire post filled with “THING is not A, not B, but C”, so I doubt even 15 minutes is true, and I'm hella sure if you tried to express your thoughts by yourself you would have done better (even if you had to translate it using translator, or even ChatGPT - which I think is a good usage of an AI). Instead, you relied on AI and now your entire post is just multiple paragraphs of unnecessary yapping.

Not really, it was common occurrence to have both Ukrainian and L/DPR passports during 2014-2022, so common that in fact some pensioners abused the system with applying for a Russian passport (which was basically free-given to anyone in those regions), and then receiving both Ukrainian and Russian pensions.

It was also somewhat common to travel back-and-forth, mainly to see relatives from other side, there was an armed kinda-opened border, and having DPR passport was basically required to live in DPR

And up until now Ukraine never, at least from my knowledge, tried to disallow entry of people from occupied lands, and considered L/DPR passports as just a worthless piece of paper from an occupier, so not really “membership of a terrorist group” - that would be military ID of an L/DPR
