He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

"I'm sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government's work," Putin said on December 14. "I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future."

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

Look, it isn't hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don't know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

Blood is an excellent substitution as well

And human blood can be vegan!

I ... On the one hand I'm pretty sure humans are considered animals, on the other hand, if vegans can't eat anything or buy any product that was made using the exploitation of animals including humans that... Pretty much rules out everything purchased under capitalism and most other systems too.

If you cook with your own blood, no animal was exploited because you freely consented.

You can even make meringue with blood!

You can't invade neighboring countries on a vegan diet

Well, not with that attitude.

Pickled applesauce just doesn't go as well with water glasses of vodka.

The day I have to eat poached applesauce is also the day I overthrow my government.
