Can someone explain to me why Russian drivers sometimes seem to just swerve randomly? Nothing in front of them and the road doesn't seem messed up but they're just going along then bam hard turn either into oncoming traffic or into a ditch.

Alcoholism is a major problem there.

I don't have an answer for this, but I'm friends with a Russian woman who was telling me yesterday she has nightmares about how her husband drives. The barrier to entry to driving in Russia doesn't seem to be very difficult. Her husband has spent the last few months in lessons and he apparently still sucks.

lmao cats are assholes

I only know some basics of cat body language, someone explain what that cat's doing. At first I thought it was trying to warn the guy off its territory, but then it looks like maybe it was trying to get his attention so it could get pets? wth cats

Wait, the Lofty Pursuits guy is or was a goon, or a goon sold the company to the Lofty Pursuits people? Their videos are great.

Not sure whether this was answered since yesterday, but the guy who used to be the actual candy maker for Lofty Pursuits and who made the videos is/was a goon, or at least had an account to give a goon discount in SA Mart. He left LP and started his own place, Raley's Confectionary, still making candy the same way and still based out of Florida. I don't know that he still has a goon discount anymore, but he at least still does the emoticon mix.

Like someone else said, it's playing and most likely lonely. Those are all classic bids for human attention, from the meow to the scare-swipe at the ankles/heels to the following 'apologetically'. It just wants to have fun and loves.

I didn't realize how much non-cat people couldn't read cats until this moment and I'm sad now :smith: it's really no wonder non-cat people think cats are assholes, but it's just about knowing their body language. I know it's a jerk ca but I see the guy swat it away and my heart breaks. It wants looooooove!

I feel like if you put dashcams on the same percentage of cars in North America you'd catch a ton of crazy poo poo too. But the Russian ones are bizarre in that like a dump truck will come flying out of nowhere into a parking lot, screeching to a halt on its side just inches from a little old lady. And then she'll glance at it and keep walking, like she didn't almost just get turned into paste. A lot of times the prevailing attitude of bystanders is "Whoops, poo poo happens."

Watching the Russian Dashcam videos a major contributing factor seems to be that 50% of their roads have no lanes or signs or anything, it's just a free-for-all. I still wish I could find the compilation of Russians trying to avoid traffic by just driving down the wrong side of the street past it all and getting caught by a car coming the opposite way forcing them to reverse all the way back down the street. That was some primo poo poo, including one lady that was so committed to it that instead of reversing she just got out of her car, popped the hood and was like "oh, sorry, having car trouble here, you might as well just go around me" and the blocker was having none of it. Watching her get more and more pissed that he wasn't going to move so that she could continue to jump past was just :discourse:

Honestly, realizing that I don't know how to read cats also made me realize why some adults might still be afraid of dealing with dogs. Like, I'm not scared of cats or anything, but they're also not big or strong enough to knock me over, and their mouths aren't big enough to fit around any of my limbs.
