The sad thing is seeing Russians making videos pleading to Putin for help. It’s a weird culturally specific thing like fan death in Korea going back hundreds of years. Russians put all their faith in the strong guy in charge. Like, “if the czar only knew how incompetent his underlings are, he would swoop in and make it all right!” Putin’s underlings don’t care if the Russian people freeze, and neither does Putin. Seems that the people who figure this out get the fuck out, and the belief persists.
Same thing in Germany, literally “if only the Führer knew!”
Maybe it’s an autocratic thing.
Heck, the good king being kept in the dark by his evil underlings is a really old trope too.
Good point. I’ll have to look up “fan death” right now! You owe me a half hour, in which I am supposed to be cleaning the bathroom.
In summary, there is this belief in South Korea that if you leave an electric fan on in a closed room overnight, it can kill you, supposedly by asphyxiation or hypothermia. There is not really a basis for this theory in reality, and it seems that younger Koreans are less likely to believe this theory.
Now that I think about it more, perhaps my next Halloween costume should be a Grim Reaper costume with a fan on my face.
Wow. Thank you. The shitter did get scrubbed.
Well that wasn’t what I expected to hear. I’m curious why their heating supplies are falling/failing. Isn’t oil the one thing they actually have an excess of?

That’s the problem with an economy that depends on energy exports when you’re being sanctioned and have a war to fund.
The thing about Russia is, they say something and it is a lie. If you still believe a single word the Russian government says, you weren’t paying attention.
Their trolls are precious, too. I remember, back on the asian ass porn site known as reddit, one smugly said to me „have fun being drafted“. I wonder which one of the blown up carcasses I see on a daily basis he was.
So anything that comes from Russia must be taken the opposite way. I call it the 180 rule. Never fails.
Russia doesn’t lie to fool you.
They lie to insult you.
Can’t wait until they implode, again.
In posts soviet russia the trolls feed you!
Thats not true. You are judging an entire nation by the single guy. You cant say anything that comes from russia is a lie. Becuz it cant be like that. I agree with you about government, and you are right if you think that the large portion of russian population cant see things clear, but for the sake of god, dont say that about everyone.
Thafuq?
What happened to their nearly free and unlimited natural gas supply?
