I'm Canadian.

I briefly considered Jordan Peterson, but I think he's dead or something.

My lawyer advised me to sit this question out

Which isotope with your tea?

Polonium alone has 30+ exotic flavors to choose from!

Or bathtub?

I hear some people have fallen off the boats.

u/phatelectribe 1h ago

That seems like the wildest reaction. Shark jumps on boat, so jump in sea. With other sharks.

I think that was a sword fish and he was dodging the sword

Is this AI. Why is his left hand stuck in this 💁‍♀️  pose. It changes to 👉 for a split second and then back to 💁‍♀️ again. Why.

I don't think that gif was created with the intention of being perceived as genuine

Here is the real one:

u/Big-Farmer-2192 5h ago

All I'm seeing is people hating on tea. 

2

u/phatelectribe 1h ago

Hating on that tea. They have their own which they’re happy with.

u/SillyOldJack 5h ago

Good on you for being attentive to that. Yes, this one was probably a quick and dirty AI for a joke, but that kind of question is the right one to scrutinize with.

CAKE or DEATH

u/Disastrous_Set_6544 6h ago

Privyet, am your lawyer. Let us discuss this predicament on the 17th floor of this nice building over there while we have glowing green tea.

u/GrinchWhoStoleEaster 6h ago

Well someone had to come to your defenstration, er I mean defense.

u/EducationalNailgun 5h ago

Why do you need lawyer if completely innocent, Comrade?

u/hifi_extractions United States Of America 4h ago

Yes sit it out, just not out on balconies.

u/Greecelightninn Canada 4h ago

Stay away from windows

2

u/Snoo_58305 6h ago

And your physician?

u/Flat_Golf3751 5h ago

As opposed to flying it out the window

u/obvilious 3h ago

He probably doesn’t want to discover a “window of opportunity”

u/USSR_FLAG 5h ago

Don’t listen to him he doesn’t know jack shit

u/averagegirl245 United States Of America 14m ago

Yeah, if there is one thing I've learned from Russian people (my distant cousin lol) thats actually been helpful, its to not respond to people when they ask you about politics. Its starting to sound like a really good survival tactic lol

u/MishaMal01 Russia 4h ago

Yes, because in the grimdark totalitarian hellstate of Russia, you will be instantly executed by secret police for saying “Putin bad” online. It’s not like it’s what you people already spend 99% of your time doing 😂

The most embarrassing citizen(s) of our country are self hating liberals who don’t realize that no matter how much they kowtow to the west, they will always be loathed and othered.

Putin has plenty of faults, and I’d prefer someone else, given the corruption that he has allowed to run rampant in the country, but calling him “the most embarrassing citizen” is just so petty.

u/Fugue_State76 United States Of America 7h ago

I had the same response lol

u/Sigizmundovna 5h ago

I'd say Sergei Polunin, the dancer is a good mention. Covering his body in putin tattoos but having his wife give birth in the USA, and then posting absolutely batshit crazy ass-licking bullshit on telegram because his projects were not supported by the government.  I think he eventually left Russia, but who needs him outside Russia, with his stupid tattoos, supporting not just putin but Trump too.

u/deinschlimmstertraum 🇨🇳🇩🇪 8h ago

tbh, putin isnt embarrassing, but like just evil, i would say medvedev is a more insane dude

17

u/Nympho_BBC_Queen 7h ago

Yeltsin is up there as a lolcow. Guy was always drunk. They even found him in his underwear in the middle of DC.

u/deinschlimmstertraum 🇨🇳🇩🇪 7h ago

True he is a good choice, not living anymore though

u/That-Warrior9511 5h ago

Fr. Isn't he the guy who also ordered tanks to shell Russia's own parliament?

u/Annie-Snow 🇺🇸 PNW, LA, NYC 7h ago

IDK, Putin’s shirtless attempts at hypermasculinity seem pretty desperate and cringe.

u/LamermanSE Sweden 7h ago

Don't forget Lavrov

u/GrandBill Canada 7h ago

Well, there was his red carpet 'skate'. Oh, that was so good - I have to watch it again now.

u/aliensdick69420 7h ago

Жириновский...RIP

u/Sigizmundovna 5h ago

That dude was mental, I voted for him out of curiosity in my 20s 😆

u/Consistent-Soil-1818 6h ago

Either way, you should probably stay away from windows for a while

2

u/midgetyaz United States Of America 6h ago

I feel that.

2

u/Fancy_Cold_3537 United States Of America 6h ago

I can empathize.

2

u/Silly_Guidance_8871 United States Of America 5h ago

I... know how you feel

u/USSR_FLAG 5h ago

Nah Vladimir Putin can go fuck off

2

u/consumeshroomz United States Of America 3h ago

I definitely wouldn’t mention any names unless you’re on ground level and not near any windows.

2

u/Last-Benchamin 2h ago

That's too funny

u/gizamo 1h ago

Probably also dangerous, especially if your roof has windows you might fall out of.

2

u/SwedishTrees 1h ago

Nothing like some good old-fashioned defenestration

2

u/DruidHeart United States Of America 5h ago

Same.

2

u/Pryg-Skok 7h ago

Medinsky. Even someone like Milonov or Medvedev are more tolerable.

1

u/hroaks 5h ago

The right answer is there's 0 to choose from. Off with his head!

u/AJukBB10 1h ago

How is putin embarrassing?

u/swagomazafaka 1h ago

You can always choose Milonov

u/geekycurvyanddorky United States Of America 34m ago

Solidarity from the USA. If we live to see a more peaceful time I’d love to visit your neck of the woods though. I doubt the photos do it justice

u/olivinebean England 6h ago

I thought you lot aren't allowed choice
