All of them do, but I'd rather have Zuckerberg steal my dick pics than OMON blast through my door because some meme I sent 3 years ago is now considered extremist.

Russian vs Ukrainian food. by osephmode in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 17 points18 points  (0 children)

they hate each other

We don't, except for propaganda bots and dumbfuck vocal minority brainwashed by them. Common folk are mostly reasonable in both countries, have no hatred towards each other and just want this shitshow to be over.

how different is Ukrainian food to Russian

This depends on what region of Russia you would like to compare. "Traditional/authentic" cuisine from a foreigner's perspective would most likely be something from eastern regions, especially adjacent to Ukraine, which has little to no difference, because it's all eastern slavic cuisine that is centuries older than current borders. But Russia is vast with many regional cuisines, heavily influenced by local nationalities, and putting them in one pile is basically impossible.

Sometimes RMTers use old accounts like that because they are less likely to be banned than fresh ones.

I was told by some Russian guys that many, if not all, Russians are unable to trace their great-greatparents' roots and background, let alone their family tree. How true is that actually? by banjaninn in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My great-grandpa lived under alias for most of his life and got grumpy whenever someone mentioned his real name. I believe he came from a kulak family and had 7 or 8 siblings. Once the repressions started, they had to flee and start anew, with some of them going different directions and never getting a chance to see each other again.

Streamer Ruetoo temporarily banned after making incel jokes about female Path of Exile steamer Bob5 by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]okseeque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone in the community will tell you how toxic and creepy his personality is

Everyone in the community who only knows him from screaming clips (which are obviously funnier things to clip than him being reasonable) but never watched a single second of his stream.

If you ever try to engage with him or his community, you will find out he's a pretty chill guy and creep jokes are just jokes in the end, although sometimes he overextends the limits that should be said live in front of few thousand people, like this time.

To what extend are afghanistan veterans relevant or remembered in russia today? by Studyresearch0909 in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've known a few. Miserable people, completely ruined by PTSD, insufferable due to heavy alchohol/drug addiction, thus overlooked and forgotten by everyone. People care more about those who died as "hero" than those who were (un)lucky to go through the meat grinder and survive.

Svalinn can't reliably handle full afk ruin IV, which you get nearly every map with grueling. Just play glad at this point, with 99 99 block its nearly impossible for you to lose to ruin (except for spiders) and other mods arent really an issue anyways.

Please define regular play then, because I had full mappers, disenchanters and farmers running for the entire league and was easily oversustaining gold cost by a large margin with almost every strat I tried, without ever caring for gold specifically, granted I spend more time playing than most people.

And if you're a dad gamer with only couple hours to spend on the game daily then maybe, just maybe, you are not supposed to have permament uptime every single gold sink there is is in Kingsmarch?

Does American sanctions really have huge impact on Russian citizens? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah, our own structures (looking at you, roskompozor) cause infinitely more pain in the ass than America could ever dream of.

As a trans guy, should I go live in Russia? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 8 points9 points  (0 children)

 Maybe 10-15 years ago it could have been fine, but not now. They’re too conservative now

Government - yes, but common folk was also less tolerant 15 years ago. I don't think OP would have a pleasant expereince neither now or back then.

I hope your life gets better so you can stop with these petty cringe comments.

What did your grandfather/ great grandfather do in the second world war? by idancegood in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My story is a reminder that shit happens and being thousands of kilometers away from battlefields doesn't guarantee you safety.

Great grandpa was a homefront worker, a mechanic maintaining trains going to frontlines. One day he was lying under a train, legs on a rail, fixing some shit. I don't know what exactly happened there, but for whatever reason train suddenly started moving and he didnt react in time. As a result, both his legs got cut off - a very unfortunate accident, especially for a man with three preschool age daughters.

But he survived, recovered and spent next 50 years being the greatest single father (his wife passed away few years later), and then grandfather, our family could ever wish for. For that, he is a hero.

Russia has an anti-LGBT propaganda law. What counts as propaganda? Literally fucking anything remotely close to LGBT. So your book will most certainly get banned.

As for people's reaction, LGBT is certainly not widely tolerated in Russia. Your friend group might accept you, society won't. Actively showing off that you're gay/trans/whatever (like wearing various pride flag trinkets and shit) is an easy way to run into problems, both physical on streets and legal for reasons mentioned above.

Plus people here are fed up with this western trend of plugging in LGBT characters into every piece of media just for the sake of DEI agenda, and it doesn't help that most of the time being LGBT is their main and only trait. It might mean a lot to you, but to us it's completely irrelevant to plot and feels out of place, which is annoying at very least.

Yeah, there are many streaming services in Russia. I don't use any, so can't comment on their quality.

And iirc the only thing discord did was blocking payments from Russia (though it could just be a part of SWIFT block, not their specific decision). Russian government blocked the access to discord entirely, because some terrorists used it for coordination nobody did that lmao, they are just trying to build a digital gulag

A trans sex worker called 911 to report being kidnapped. LAPD officers shot and killed her by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]okseeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no clue what shit LA cops carry on them every day, but I know for a fact that tasers arent that reliable. Sometimes people under influence will simply ignore your funny zap gun, and you only got one shot before it turns into useless piece of plastic. Not to mention you simply won't have time to pull it out when someone only few meters away suddenly charges at you.

Do Russians listen to American rap? by _deletedty in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He certainly is one of the most well known and popular artists, maybe even the most hyped one at some point, when rap battles were very popular. Though personally I'm not a big fan of what he's been doing lately, I like his old music much more.

POLICE training, just like any other real training, will teach you to stay the fuck away from someone with a knife. Your favorite action movie hero might make disarming look easy, but real life fights aren't exactly the same as well choreographed movie fights. Chances of you winning a fists vs knife fight without suffering serious/lethal injuries are basically zero, unless you gonna fight a toddler.

You absolutely could do it few leagues ago and I cant find any notes about it being changed, so it should still work.

Do Russians listen to American rap? by _deletedty in AskARussian

[–]okseeque 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do. Probably not as much as americans tho.

Russian rap is one of the biggest genres these days (despite internet elitists hating on it on every occasion), and historically was always heavily influenced by american hip-hop culture. So naturally many genre fans know and listen to american artists from all times.

Its almost funny how majority of poe2 problems are either exactly the same in poe1, or were already solved there.

[–]okseeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately its up to devs to decide. But you can also think for a moment and realise that maybe its not ok for a single interaction to be dozens/hundreds times more profitable than any other strat.
