But muh western values! If Russia had done the same exact thing this thread would be filled with jingoists calling for sanctions or war. Remember that the next time somebody tries to goad you into tribalism with ideology, the ideology to th

If you can't even figure out how to switch Input Methods I don't think you're going to have good luck programming either. I also think you're conflating ASCII with the Latin Script. ASCII is easy to type and read, but an
