More like every molecule has a somewhat communism bond.

PS: also don't forget to take your daily dosage of Vitamin C

Still looks like a fake

The war effort needs your effort at home, at your community

Everyone's doing their part. Do you?

It'll never be enough, until it is 🤷🏼‍♂️

While I agree that sanctions affected only the privileged minority as myself, there are subtle signs that Russian society isn't taking the war in a healthy way:

1. High reported anxiety with a peak at Sep 2022 https://www.euronews.com/2023/09/26/bursts-of-anxiety-impact-of-ukraine-war-on-russians-laid-bare-in-poll
2. Spiked alcohol consumption (+10% a year) https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/01/15/alcohol-dependency-in-russia-increases-for-first-time-in-a-decade-a83718
3. An anti-war presidential candidate that had 10% support a month before the election

Why? The Russian government spends enormous sum on soldiers salaries, paying unthinkable $2000/mo.

What's your point? They don't really pay this much? Or maybe the war has elevated 1m families of soldiers, while it was compensated by other events?

reducing the % of poor people across the whole population of Russia

No, no, no. Even Ukraine estimates Russian casualties as 400k, and they include severely wounded, pov, and Ukrainians mobilized from occupied territories. Russia has 120-140m people (there's a conspiracy about how many people live there, but sociologists give this range). In the first COVID year the excessive deaths were about 1m. Hence the casualties, cynically speaking, is not that significant.

The tragic thing is that, for some, it might be.

To add a context here: since the start of the war, the poverty in Russia dropped from 22% to 9.6%. Of course there are both a factor of manipulation with statistics before the presidential elections and a lag between poverty metrics and inflation, but the number still blows my mind: more than 10 million people were elevated from the poverty.

But don't get tricked here: people were forced to poverty, and then the government gave away a few coins back.

Adding AeIeeee to the paper is the only way to not starve for a scientist in such a field. They have to highlight some immediate influence of their research in order to receive funding and get invited to conferences. Did it myself, didn't like it, but that's how the system works, unfortunately

Not gonna lie, this post made me have my nose picked with a rolled tissue just to see what comes out of it

Our HR manager will contact you

Do not forget about PTSD if you come back alive

Not here to defend Russia, but afaik Russian soldiers earn about $2000/mo, which would be good for India if higher rank officers didn't take a huge portion of it to themselves.

Ukrainian soldiers earn slightly less - about $1600-1800, but I haven't heard about wage theft there.

It always comes back to capitalism

Just don't start it in the evening. You will lose your whole night.

Will turn 30 this month. I walked a few kilometers and my legs hurt. A couple of years ago I had a date where we had walked 30km during a night and I felt great back then.

When I was writing this message, my back demanded a stretch, which I've provided, not without pain in my shoulders.

I am really started to consider a suicide at 40. I just can't live inside this rack of a body.

Remember how we were meant to defeat COVID by staying home and playing video games?

To whom? To themselves,?

Because any state is an apparatus of violence? Regardless whether it is Ukraine or Russia?
