  • And I assumed A was for the highest mark in school (when evaluating something). In some cases I remember it did make sence, but thanks for telling me about it’s origins.

    Offtop, but now I’m thinking if all these college clubs in the movies were called in latin words because of the military too, with their Alpha-Bravo-Delta correction of hearing\spelling errors over the radio.

    Your examples are fun too, and SOS sounds like an emergency dose of callories with minimal decorations when one’s too exhausted (:

    P.S.: It’s not unusual to know only one single language. Weirdly enough, that’s shared between the US and Russia due to their huge territory most people never leave and a lot of folks being offended by hearing other languages spoken around them, like MAGA or vatniks. I’ve got lucky my parents invested some skillpoints into languages years ago, so I can talk to you, and you’ve been dealt a slightly worse hand in that department. No shame here. A lot of my dearest and wisest friends can’t read memes I send them even in kindergarden English so, at least, you dodge this regular frustration (:

    NSFL description and a link to a footage of a very morbid accident from reddit

    There’s a video that’s still imprinted on my memory that serves as a succint symbol of all these completely avoidable incidents: a guy on the hill blows his hand off but he’s that morbidly drunk he repeatedly throws it into the sky like ‘Hell yeah!’ while others are completely shocked and try to help him climb down. https://old.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/v25y3o/warning_firework_blows_dudes_hand_off_all_angles/

    I’ve seen a couple of minor accidents myself and I don’t really like fireworks that just blow up and\or without a fuse. I don’t trust their producers in the price range that’s usually affordable to my peers. That thing being completely delegated to pros with expertise (and a full set of limbs) isn’t bad at all, and they usually do pyrotechnics when and where hundreds of people can si,ultaniously enjoy them, unlike a fingerbomb one can ignite on the street.



  • I’m not an Apple person but IIRC their appstore is functional for already purchased and free apps. New purchases, as well as import of devices, are done via various grey schemes like via currencies and borders of third countries. I can’t recall news about someone getting individually banned for that, but some opportunistic foreign banks closed their doors to rubles fearing sanctions. Official stores are closed, but I guess their repair\replace services are still operated but without a connection to the Apple themselves. There were also services to install non-Appstore banking clients and government’s services via some loopholes. At the same time, except for the app in the OP, some apps can choose not to be availiable in a select country on their own.

    I guess Apple did the formal exit and then stopped to care. It’s not operating in Russia per se, but it operates in other countries with entities barely passing as legal consumers and resellers. They still get their profits as usual, and these interlayer smugglers make big bucks enough to be advertised in every second russian youtube video. Is there then a mechanism to make Apple filter them out?

    A bit related news piece: russian gamers cried over Sony limiting Helldivers 2 to select countries, while other russian gamers dunked on them for they have PSN linked to the right country.

    Ah, I’ve seen this vid. It feels so old now.

    First indiscernible phrase is

    Сейчас, нахуй, сейчас. Сейчас я тебе дам

    Now, dammit, now. (addressing the one who he’d then call out) I’m gonna give you (a punch).

    Залупа or Dickhead is correct. Usually this noun describes not a person, but a bad place to live in (a similar-sounding word халупа is a name for a simple and small hut, probably it came into obscene slang due to it’s shape) or some pointless endeavor.

    Уёбище ты ёбаное isn’t exactly fucking scumbag. Enraged person just strings similar words together. But if translated, ёбаное уёбище is a fucking fuckface, for the second word usually means someone (physically) unpleasant. I find that this version underlines the ranting nature of this banter.

    Счетовод or calculator-man is an old word for an accountant, from the imperial times when only a minority knew basic math. Now it’s only used as a sarcasm like there. Probably not precise, but meme-y.

    In Косой пидор, блять the first word was omitted from subs. It means strabismus or an unusual alignment of one’s sight, making eye-lines get crossed or point in different directions. It’s a very old ableism that’s still used for those who fail shots or throws in sports, games, military. It also has a direvative verb скосить when someone missed. See also: https://www.reddit.com/r/russian/comments/dkg6ne/the_most_confusing_sentence/ They could’ve used other words for visually impaired, but probably found it’s not worth it.

    Lifter or поднимальщик there is an invented word, basically a person who lifts (something), probably a barrel of a gun too much, thus the accuracy is abysmal. Don’t think it can be translated better.

    The beads part is correct, hah.

    This translation is alright.
