Funny thing about how clean Russia is. Moscow has a spotless city center, and anywhere important is super clean. But as soon as you step outside the usual areas, it's suddenly back to failed-state chique, with random crap just dumped outside of direct view and slowly spilling over.
Keep going, Ivan. You're this close to getting it.
So close. I've been wondering about ways we can push them over the line of realization. 500,000 dead hasn't done it. A few days ago they lost 65 artillery pieces in a single day. Sure there's lots of soviet production in mothballs but this shit has been going on for two years. How much longer can they go on before the average person realizes - oh shit - we're gonna lose this badly - ?
The 500k figure is casualties, not deaths. That includes wounded.
500k is shit for Russia. Lmao Russia got into the big leagues by throwing tens of millions into a meat grinder and still having fucking more ready to go. They're like ants that have been half drowned in vodka. Every one you popov gets replaced by 4 more.
Their impotent rage amuses me.
I'd say it can't possibly be true, but orcs
IKEA makes loans for purchasing their uncomfortable furniture? Their sofas should be reviewed for human rights violations. They're not aspirational.
Remember, these are the people who consider Adidas tracksuits the epitome of fashion and a status symbol.
Remember back in the '90s when everyone used to wear windbreakers? The Russians are just 35 years behind the times, they'll get here by about 2055
IKEA furniture are not bad at all. 40 years ago or was a standing joke, but the quality has quintupled since then.
You can of course buy the cheapest of cheap in IKEA and it will be less comfortable than the more expensive ones, but couches from IKEA are good.
Hell, most other furniture brands delivers their furniture flat packed as well. It's just easier to build IKEA since they have gotten the instructions down to a t.
When I saw the story about furniture doctor here the other day it just seemed so dumb. Buy flat packed furniture sand assemble it on your living room. Or get the furniture doctor to assemble it, then you don't have to cut it open with power tools....
In short - IKEA and Wasa ftw!!
Yeh, they have managed to keep the range and attraction that you have both a new student trying to buy the cheapest possible set of furniture for their student flat and some rich retirees fitting out their holiday home buying in the same place.
I got a POÄNG chair, love it. But there are cussions for it that are more expensive than the entire chair I bought!
It's amazing, and probably great for the upsell as there is always something slightly nicer.
Poland is the China of Europe. Everything you can do, they can do cheaper.
Also, Poland is much less corrupt and the privatization in the 90s worked a bit better than in Russia, at least it didn't create a powerful class of oligarchs due to less mineral resources. Most of their major companies are relatively young though.
Well, the explanation is a word which, curiously, is similar to the French word for "whore".
So they're angry that other people have it better than them and the solution is to make life terrible for all those people rather than demand something good of your own government?
I don't think Russian's a human. How on Earth do they think like that, if other people have it better than you, clearly the problem is with your country. Who comes to the conclusion that the problem is the other country.
Anyway imagine lusting after ikea furniture. Someone should tell them that we think it's all crap. That will really drive them.
While this person's mindset here is reprehensible; try to avoid making sweeping generalizations based off a few encounters. It's destructive and can be quite hurtful.
Just say vatnik. It just means anyone who gobbles the Russian gov propaganda cock. Fuck this vatnik
Sorry, Marat, you're not Russian, you're a Tatar. And no one likes Tatars, especially in Russia.
Its called getting money from big daddy EU
Edit: apperently some people missunderstood my comment. Im in no way saying that all their achievements are just eu. All Im saying that especially public infrastructure in poland is strongly substituted by eu. In a lot of cities you can't get on a tram without seeing the big eu logo. And thats not a bad thing. Thats exactly what the eu is for. To help each other out.
Baw, Poland looking pretty good right now. Tech sector is going hard, about to pass UK SOL and GDP.
Now remove from those numbers the contributions of immigrants workers
