  • Quality is actually not bad. Like yea, they usually don’t have modern wiring but since the construction materials used are insanely durable and thick renovating those buildings with new windows, heating, pipes and wires gets you like the best possible apartment. You will never hear your neighbours, winters are warm with minimal heating and that building will last for like centuries with minimal maintenance.

    Yea, industrialization improved things in like every country that did it but saying the USSR was not imperialist is wild to me. Resources from the annexed territories were being shipped to Russia on a regular basis, literally one of the reasons that made the Holodomor so deadly in Ukraine while Russia itself was mostly spared. Smuggling was insanely common here in the Baltics to ensure the locals could keep what they make and not suffer from famines as well.





  • Sims 3 seems more limited by it’s own engine than the hardware. Like I can’t get it into a playable state with a Ryzen 5800X3D and a 7800XT while using all the recommended performance tweaks and mods. It still has massive stutters and freezes while according to the FPS counter running at a stable 144 FPS, it like stops for a solid 5 seconds with no FPS drop. I love the systems in Sims 3 but at least Sims 4 is playable.





  • Jaywalking is another thing I first heard of like a month or so ago that sounds both ridiculous as a law and as a word.

    Don’t the US have a range that your speed can be in? Like here you can be a bit over that’s within the margin of error of your speedometer (Can’t remember how much exactly since I haven’t driven a car in like 2 decades)
