Putin is deeply unpopular. Also everyone in Russia is brainwashed. Also the election numbers are made up by a fake guy doing fake things. Also there's going to be a huge Navalny protest vote and only I can tell you what it is. Also Russians are naturally evil because they support Putin.

Love the idea that the way Putin maintains power is by having a guy make up election results by hand
In Russia, you are given exactly one option for President and everyone is required to agree that he is the only person fit to lead the country.
In America, you are given three choices. One of them is a senile baffoon who will most assuredly spell the end of the Republic if he is elected. The other is a throwback to the 1980s who is coasting entirely on name recognition. And the third is a failson without any credible leadership qualities, who simply runs because he doesn't have anything better to do.
One of these countries will have 75% election turnout. The other will be lucky to crack 60%. Care to guess which?

A speculative bubble can pop without throwing the whole country into recession.
A handful of speculative super-bubbles are on the verge of popping (one might argue that sites like Twitter have already popped and just won't admit it).
The overwhelming majority of software engineers and systems architects and coders are either
a) doing just fine in their non-imploding industries, such as finance and energy and manufacturing
b) eating the same pile of dogshit they've been eating for the last 30 years, assuming they're doing entertainment software or working Fivr jobs or otherwise engaged in the most precarious forms of software development work
This isn't bad news for coders. This is bad news for Silicon Valley VCs and their promise of unlimited borrowing capacity.
If anything, hexbear users are undermining communism by making it look too hard.
Love my rookie FBI shitposting-on-the-hexbear-for-salary working stiff comrade.
Unionize, my brothers and sisters! Reject the tyranny of the Professional Managerial Class and embrace a federal bureau of investigation 32 hour workweek!
The best posting is that sweet spot between a post so good its bad and a post so bad its good.
Counterpoint: Doing something you love that makes the world a happier, healthier, and more wondrous place is very sexy.
