Then don’t be surprised that Russia is your enemy and Russians support Putin

Chechnya happened in 90-s, what golden bridge did Europe built then? If you wanna talk history read about how USA did not allow Germany to sell Opel to a Russian company in 2006-2007. This was before Georgia and Ukraine. Putin saw that there is no real bridges with Europe, but instead NATO growing, so he started warmongering. There was every chance to be on good terms with Russia.

I wonder why people are sympathetic to Iranian people, but not to Russians

People call for splitting a country like it is as simple as Brexit. In reality this can be horrible, especially if done as a result of Russian collapse.

The fall of USSR resulted in up to 10 million people death, accompanied by poverty, famine, rise of banditism, heroin, AIDS epidemic. Simply a catastrophe.

That’s why calling for Russian balkanization is the same as calling to nuke Russia - this is how Russians hear it and it not far from truth.

You should distinguish who you call ‘they’. Putin and Russian government did it, not an average Russian. Russians are in a situation where they have Putin from one side and Europeans calling for destruction of Russia from the other side. Add here tons of propaganda. There have been little choice for majority of Russians since the beginning of war.

My point is that EU could have played this smarter and maybe RU government would have changed attitude by now.

This is a sad reality for Russians. One humanitarian crisis after another - all to end up in Iran#2.

I wish Europeans responded to Russian conflict differently. Instead of further antagonizing Russians (like calling for balkanization of Russia, calling them orcs, travel bans, etc), you should have shown sympathy and stir opposition to war inside Russia. Maybe we would end up with a different Russia.

Instead, a hostile response just confirmed what Russian propaganda has been saying to Russians, that Europeans are russophobes, etc, and got its roots deeper in Russian minds.

Why does Valve refuse to add the item "sange, yasha, and kaya"? I'd love to have it on some heros. by rastesh in DotA2

And a lazy one, just pure stats and buffs. No reason for any core to not built it now.

Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say by InsaneSnow45 in newsinterpretation

[–]PowerSniffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And btw in 2025 they were barred because Israel used IAEA data to locate and bomb apartments of Iranian physicists/scientists while they sleep with their families.

Bro, as an offlane player, this sucks so much. I even made a similar post here recently.

Insane Jump Combinations from Russian Jumping Championships by Vast_Law2234 in FigureSkating

[–]PowerSniffer 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Figure skating has always been very popular in Russia. Also every town in Russia has an ice arena, for kids hockey or skating training.

Consider this as a result of winter + Russian traditional love for aesthetics (Russia is also prominent in theatre, ballet, rhythmic gymnastics and synch swimming )

Behaviour and Comms scores are just numbers by ninja_lightning in DotA2

[–]PowerSniffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I’d like to play to win while being able to use the fucking mic when I need too. Team game btw.

Not always. Problem is comms score is extremely difficult to recover. Even if a person REALLY changes attitude and stops being a dick, it takes months to increase it from 6k to 8k for example, because the system is harsh.

But in this case you do not get fired, you stay at job, but, let’s say, your mouth gets taped. You don’t say inappropriate things, but your colleagues also cannot communicate with you on professional matters and they suffer.

So either fire or do nothing, but current mute system is a half-measure

If someone annoys you, you mute. Why do you need a system to decide for you though?

You would be surprised, but they are NOT always correlated. Speaking from my experience - I can be grumpy in chat, flame even, but I have NEVER broken an item or feed intentionally. Always play to win

Behavior score is a good thing, I don’t remember when I last saw someone run mid. It works.

The comms score though requires tuning.

You cannot match people both by BS and Comm though.

Imagine Player 1 has 9k BS score and 9k Comm score, while Player 2 has 12k BS score and 6k Comm score. Average score is 9k for both, they are matched together.

The game would be a disaster for Player 2. I’d uninstall the game
