The "O" word, actually: oligarchs (or their relatives or best buddies). Chances are that at least some of them are under sanction in more civilized countries.
Fuyumura's "what the heck are you going on about? What's wrong with you? Give me back my friend!" experience is one regrettably familiar to many aro-aces. 🫤
And apparently, if there's such a thing as Evil!Santa, he dresses like he works for the Mafia.
I doubt most owners of recent-model luxury-brand cars in Russia are average joes for which this is their only transport. I therefore find my sympathy to be somewhat limited.
Mirroring what happened in Ontario years ago. Used to be that northeastern Ontario had a bunch of mills. Now there's only Kapuskasing left, and they're not really viable—by my understanding, they've been hanging on by their fingernails due to being mostly employee-owned and so not having to do more than break even, but they've now had to approach the government for a bailout, and their future seems doubtful. The next-to-last was Espanola, which closed down a couple of years ago now.
If that's the reason for things freezing up, the OOM reaper will come along and sort it out eventually, although it isn't exactly quick on its feet.

"Uttering threats" is an offence under the Criminal Code and, as I understand it, the requirements for it to be considered a crime are pretty steep—kids on schoolbusses wouldn't qualify because their threats usually aren't meant to be taken seriously. It's more like "dude standing over you holding a knife threatens to stab you" stuff.
Nah, there's plenty of variety. Keep in mind that not all distros ship with any graphical environment at all, and you're not obliged to keep your distro's default even if it did ship with one. Linux in general is just as happy with ratpoison as it is with KDE.
I didn't think the horse was still intact enough that you could find any hide.
Ugh. I hope that there being a use for the little bastards now doesn't make people breed them on purpose.
