Lenin was also an extremist and a dicta. Stalin took the cake, but I’d say it started earlier.

Trust me, he’s a raging fascist (going by Eco’s definition) and a nationalist in the worst sense possible.

After WWII it’s enough to call your enemy a nazi in Russia to get public support - the trauma is still there. Of course he’s using it.

I didn’t try to do the purchase, but very nice to know the company blocked the purchase! I was also very happy with the product too. What a difference from the likes of Adobe.

I almost bought publisher last week, and postponed till Black Friday. Just wow!!!

This album, along with Sam’s town, are the favorites of my teenage years.

What could that be, I wonder?.. Ah, I know, might be all those working and studying women that abandon their sacred duty to repopulate the Motherland. Definitely not the trenches in foreign countries where the men are dying…

Edit: typos.

Loved this one! Never heard it before.

Yes! The good thing, it’s repayable! My number one game ever.

To the moon! The game was so emotional.

Then end of the line is got him to be charged and put on trial. Was he ever charged?

So there is nothing better for them to do? No bigger problems? Seriously.

I believe the results mainly reflect the anti-immigration sentiment.

I’m a naturalized immigrant in Germany myself and don’t understand the trend at all. I imagine that supporting certain immigration groups might stretch the social support system in the country, but it’s the faulty of the system itself, no? I get the vibe that it’s the immigrants who are the problem, and that we are somehow worse humans than the natives and set our minds on causing problems just for the fuck of it.

Can someone explain why immigration is a problem for Europe? It seem to be the good old xenophobia… Or maybe I’m biased.

Exactly! So many people fall in this Russian trap, not even understanding that it’s only goal is division and destabilization.

What’s mysterious about it? As it’s said in Russian, it’s a fight between a toad and a snake.

Sounds like something Russia would be very invested in - I mean the right-wing propaganda and causing chaos across Europe. It terrifies me those idiots are being played just like that:(

Thanks a lot! I looked into it, and it seems it doesn’t run the last version, but works fine with the old ones. I’ll look more into it!

Not really. To be open, I don’t live in Russia for over a decade. There were minor incidents even before the big war, like people abruptly stopping speaking to me upon hearing my nationality, or asking why I support (I don’t) Putin or why I don’t stop him. One guy explained to me very matter-of-factly that all Russians are intrinsically evil and deserve supervision because of it… Didn’t know how to answer that one. Very rarely I was thrown insults in the streets. But other than a very few incidents, all people I know outside of Russia were always welcoming and supportive. Recently, I received more threats and hate speech from my pro-putin compatriots than I ever received anywhere else in the world.

I’m a Russian, hold my beer.

Thank you for the reply. I need to run Rhino 8, and apparently it doesn’t reliably work through wine. It’s my main software I use professionally, and moving to something like Blender is unfortunately not an option.

I’d go for Lunix, if the software I need for work would I run on it. Thinking about keeping Win 10 on a separate disk, since my laptop is not eligible for Win 11.
