Never. I asked for my old account to be deleted. Then I made it happen. That would be clear had my last post as Slart not been deleted. I just get nausea from your posts sometimes and do other stuff. Counterpoint reminds me you can't count son of a banker. It's a stupid back and forth on a topic too important and solemn to prostate massage trolls with.
Did you miss when I said 'zygote'? Do you know what that is? You want to call zygote life but you come here everyday cheering Putin's bombing. Give me a break with your virtue signaling, you don't give a shit about life.
I did read carefully, but it's really not clear what your view is on anything other than the fact that you seem to hate the USA and the free, Western world. Why are you even hanging out on an American discussion board and enjoying the benefits of trading the US capital markets? Seems a bit odd and even hypocritical to me. You claimed to be well educated, but it doesn't come across that way. Sure, I don't doubt that the average Russian is tougher than the average American or inhabitant of any other Western country where life may have been a bit too comfortable lately for obvious reasons. Daily life in a third world dictatorship and failed states must be really, really tough and I feel really bad for all those people living there.
That's life for the average Russian for centuries already. Because of all this terror and agression Russian became animals. They are only busy with their survival. No wonder that the large majority are alcoholics. They will kill anybody that is causing problems in their survival. Human life has no value in Russia. A very big part of the Russian population are just brainless zombies. All Russian rulers with names ending with "IN" were/are mass killers. That seems to be Russian tradition. LenIN StalIN PutIN
Average life expectancy for a male in Russia is 65 years of age. Actually, it's reported to be even lower in some papers. Which basically means you can expect to die when you retire at 62.
To be clear, I have nothing against Russians per se. Obviously, I'm speaking against the Putin regime and the entire system. The general population are also victims here. Most certainly now being forced into a war they don't want, but also before the war. The exception being those that support Putin and the war. But even within those I'm sure many are misguided and brainwashed by propaganda and social media. Incredibly, not everyone in Russia actually have access to the internet and alternative news outlets and may believe everything they're told. I've had the pleasure to work with two Russians in the past and they were both great people. One was actually providing aid to Ukraine potentially putting his life at risk by doing so. Another one I lost touch with, but overall a great and honest guy (first programmer I worked with that actually went back on his quoted price as he used less hours than estimated).
