Learning Russian would be handy for when you meet them on counter strike and they start raging at you, but otherwise probably not.

The only solid worst-case reason is to learn "please dont kill me ive got a family" and thats not actually going to get you anywhere so whatever.

Past that point its work. Just like work it helps to want to do it in the first place, and there are rewards in it for you, but its still a conscious effort.

If you only stick to the big media points, he seems a pretty heroic figure, still standing after getting invaded by one of the world's superpowers (inb4 corrections and shit - Russia is the big bad in basically any modern conflict film. We're talking layman optics here).

Conceptually I'm 100% for it. In reality I'm sure theres going to be unintended consequences that im not seeing.

If it can be made to work like it sounds like it should, we need it and we need it bad.

I like it as it helps with keeping the vibe right. It would detract from certain specific cases that rely on the element of surprise to give you the full effect. If there was a list of trigger warnings for doki doki literature club, for example, it wouldn't hit you right

I dont have any super PTSD/trauma/psychological scar triggers or anything though so my opinion doesnt hold much weight here, I'm not who they're for.

Toilet. A lot of the world has you paying for water anyway, but just wait until they add premiums for flushing your Toilet and offer an unlimited (Fair Use Applies) subscription

Super Mario World every year or two. The soundtrack alone cheers me right up.

Would Tetris count if its always whatever new Tetris Ultimate Reloaded DX etc etc edition? I feel like it shouldn't but its basically the same game just polished up.

The one that was posted a clear hour after? Im not a time traveller man

 

I've only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they're just kinda there.

Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I'd be taking for granted?

Pic unrelated.
