When was the last time you were in Russia? I've lived here for a few years now, almost intentionally trying to get into trouble, and I've yet to ever have any real problems. The biggest issue I've run into is food poisoning.

I am not saying that either Iran or Saudi Arabia should be able to X, Y or Z. I'm not going for a "the Saudis do it so Iran should too" argument. Rather, I am simply saying that the sanctions themselves are just an imperialis

I don't think it is that silly. The governments of the West are totally chill with regimes that are just as brutal, if not more brutal, than Iran, like Saudi Arabia. The difference really is mostly just "which side are you on&quot

Haha, maybe I should have written this article. I ran into this on a couple of legacy CodeIgniter applications that I was rewriting for a small Swedish company and had such a visceral level of shock and disgust when I realised all the produ

I would say so, yeah. Criticisms against the federal government are very common amongst young students. I regularly say things in public and in public spaces on the internet where my full name and details are attached (e.g., Facebook, VK, e

As someone in a university right now, albeit in Russia, I do feel a full unbridled ability to say what I want, learn and research what I want, and think what I want. And, I don't say this as someone who has super mainstream opinions; i

Oh, wow, really? Interesting. I'll have to try that later. Is it all group chats or ones over a certain size?
