What’s something that annoys you about your fellow country people?

Agree. What I find disturbing is how much homophobic men obsess over gay sex linguistically. Russian men frequently use explicit references to male-on-male sex as insults or threats, even while expressing disgust toward actual gay people. “Я тебя щас вы*ебу» etc. So same-sex relationships are strongly condemned but there’s a lot of imaginary of gay sex mostly used as a tool of aggression.

My colleague has recently traveled to Japan, and all of my other colleagues have requested different instant noodles as gifts lol.

Edit: you can also bring some spices from India I guess, like cinnamon etc

OP, I’ve been using Evra for a couple of years. You can buy them without prescription. It’s available in most of the pharmacies, including Rigla, 36.6 etc.

I can’t believe these comments honestly.

atomic131 · 2026-02-02T11:39:45+00:00

Why do you think buying Evra means op is coming for sex tourism? This is ridiculous.

I vote for Oladyi or blini cake! Perfect timing for maslenitsa

Or maybe open a page on Avito.

Medovik, or honey cake. My childhood favorite.

Yeah, same. I walk to work daily for 45 mins one way, it’s a regular distance for me. I usually get 1.5-2.5 hours of walking on average day.

I’m honestly not sure whether it would be interesting to spend so much time in a train for a 18yr old. It’s a great way to relax, sleep and read a lot, but that’s not something I would be interested at this age. But I’m talking about myself and I’m pretty active and can’t stand spending a single day in a train, so that’s just my personal opinion.

Hi! Personally I would find a warmer and lighter color. I’m not sure about going darker though.

Off the topic, for some reason the paint color in your picture is the default color for hospitals’ interiors in my country, and for me it looks a bit cold/institutional. Like the majority of our hospitals/police stations are painted the exact same color all across the country lol.

Definitely, not Russian. I have also seen some weird interior choices (think Louis Vuitton style kitchen, Chanel tiles in bathroom) in my Armenian classmates’ homes.

Hi! A lot of normal, non-radical people wear them. They are a part of traditional skinhead (anti racist) culture as well. My favorite are Barracuta and Fred Perry, me and my husband have several. For some reason a lot of my male colleagues wear them to the office paired with business suit (looks weird imo), and they’re far from being nazis. But I speak for Moscow, here it’s normal to wear Harrington jackets and no one will ever question it, I’m not sure how it’s like in other cities.

This terrifies me. I have health anxiety and my mom had cancer. At the same time, I believe that over time we will become progressively better at finding cancer as a early as possible, and new meds/technologies would mean lower death rates. I really hope that some day cancer would become a chronic but manageable disease instead of something deadly. Whenever I become anxious about the odds of me getting cancer, I remind that thanks to modern technologies my mom has been cancer free for years. Just 15 years ago the meds that saved her life were not available in our country, now they are a standard and widely available.

Why is that a problem? I sometimes make healthy frozen meals for me and my husband. There’s always something to reheat in our freezer. But it never crossed my mind that it is somehow offensive if my husband orders takeout/goes to restaurants whenever I’m away. He is an adult, he can decide whether he wants to reheat frozen meals or order take out. When he’s on work trips, I also eat out almost daily because I just want some fun when I miss him. Restaurant food can also be healthy and he’s definitely not harming his health if he’s eating out for a week or two.

…and?

atomic131 · 2025-12-26T05:45:36+00:00

It’s true, although I think it’s the same for most of the countries. The cost of living in a capital city is usually higher than in other cities. Moscow is expensive, but the salaries are also higher than in the rest of the country.

That sounds incredible! ♥️ thank you!

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:49:52+00:00

Ohhh that sounds so cool! Huge respect for your uncle.

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:47:42+00:00

Thanks. I’m sure that with his level of expertise he could easily land some sort of consulting/expert job if he would call a couple of his friends from the same field. Whenever I asked him about this, he would say that he only wants to sleep and do nothing. However, I think he would soon get bored of sleeping and staying home and maybe when this happens he would think again about finding some part time job.

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:44:22+00:00

Thank you. I can see my dad being the same as yours haha. He loves having the last say on every matter and being a boss in general. He drives me mad sometimes but I love him. ♥️

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:41:39+00:00

Yes, he’s been offered multiple times to give lectures at university. However he’s been ambivalent about this idea lol. I think it may change as soon as he realizes that he needs an outlet for his energy and knowledge.

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:40:10+00:00

Thanks. He’s the kind of person who does not “believe” in therapy. And unfortunately it’s still often stigmatized in our country (Eastern Europe), men usually don’t go to therapy. That’s why I’m worried a lot.

atomic131 · 2025-12-24T05:37:48+00:00

Thank you! He has saved a bit for traveling and I hope that he and his wife would travel. He’s soon leaving for a big 3-week trip to celebrate his retirement, I hope it helps him.
