Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. - eviltoast

    Nobody wants to tell a drunk Russian to put out their cigarette indoors

    As someone living in Russia, the danger is overestimated. The problem is mainly with them not understanding you. Possibly accidentally starting a fire when fulfilling your request.

      That’s probably true. Every drunk non-smoking russian I’ve met was just happy to make a new friend.

        Wow.

        Dude, Russia still has killed less people than USA in the last 20 years.

        Among groups of people nobody wants to hear from anymore yours is higher.

          Do you think it’s some kind of competition? Do you think that as long as you can find someone else who else did a bad thing yours is suddenly OK?

            For the purpose of this branch of conversation - yeah.

            I’d really like to find something like Voinarovsky test, only in English. It’s a humorous way to test one’s ability to reason. Only the first time counts naturally, sane person’s result would be 26/30 minimum, it’s not hard. I think most of commenters here would struggle to reach 15/30.

          I’ve never set foot in the US. So shut up and go get ass-fucked every day in your hellhole soon to be glass joke of a country, Kümmel.
