  • Well, you can learn actual basic braille in like 15 minutes. The only important thing missing in it is ⠼ that denotes that following symbol is a a number. E.g. ⠁⠃⠉ is “abc” but ⠼⠁⠃⠉ is 123.

    A neat trick is that it translates mostly phonetically across languages so, when traveling, you can get some idea and even practice a bit of reading of the local script by reading braille signs in elevators and buses. It is surprisingly difficult to find photos of those signs on the internet, even though they are literally everywhere, but, for example, this sign reads as KNOPKA V?ZOVA PERSONALA in braille, so you can infer that “КНОПКА” reads as “knopka” and not “khonka”, or that З thing is not a number but actually a letter for Z. The only uncommon letter here is Ы, but it is notoriously difficult one, and you can skip it in most words and people will still understand you. It might be even more helpful with wildly different script like hebrew, but I haven’t tried that myself yet.








  • You’d have to be completely out of your mind to call the Donbas war a genocide. And that’s coming from Russian national who frequently calls out Ukraine government for being the same sort of garbage as Russian, if not much worse.

    So unless this is some form of high level meta-sarcasm and/or trolling, I’d advise you and everyone who upvoted this to seek therapy.

    Web developer here. The problem here is not with emails but with change.org’s business model, which is reliant on lying to people that their petitions actually mean anything. But, anyone with half a brain cell can easily spot that they don’t have any legal backing whatsoever nor do they do any kind of identity verification, therefore those petitions are completely worthless. They might as well not give a fuck and allow cheating. For all they care, it only boosts counters and makes them appear more popular than they actually are.




  • It’s not their medicine. It is ouя medicine, the people’s medicine, that was robbed of us by some crooks, who put it in the hands of other crooks, who have been and continue taking our medicine from said crooks and yet they bully and humiliate us. And now what they did is they’ve put it in the hands of yet another crooks, who will bomb and murder us. But they’ll put most of it back in the pockets of the previous crooks, because that’s what crooks do.

    Don’t be a crook. Be like me, be the unsung hero, and commit tax fraud. Steal government property, promote black markets, and share the medicine back to the community around you.

  • The difference in the way Ukraine mourns their lost ones is such

    The fuck you’re saying, man? Have some conscience, don’t say shit like that

    that calling Russia “Civilized” in any way is just a blatant lie

    It’s not the Russian soldiers who pick up the phones off enemy soldiers to humiliate and blackmail their relatives and wives(or widows). It’s not Russians who are breaking into every single Ukrainian public conversation to remind everyone that they do, in fact, celebrate deaths of innocent people. This is something that is unfortunately rather common among Ukrainians, and something that I’ve witnessed first hand on multiple occasions.
