Everyone knows you should only eat the mushrooms you know and not just anything you find in the Forrest.
Must have lived in a bungalow
I skipped over “enemy” and got really excited for a second
Right? Me too, haven’t felt such a rush in ages even if it was short lived
If they both die on the same day there will be much party
Lol, I did the same, was almost happy there for a second
Just such relief, for a moment.
I don’t know much about Russian politics, but I seem to remember reading something saying that the people in potential positions to replace him are all crazy ultracons, so probably not a lot would change. Obviously the world would be better without him in general but I’m not sure how much relief it would ultimately bring.
The question is whether they have the same iron grip, or if they would eventually fall
Oof, so close!
Haha, I just read “Putin enemy” and it kind of gave away the ending
So many “coincidences” over the years. These “accidents” always happen to his dear oppositors. Nobody knows why.
I wonder how many Putin allies have died similarly, and if there’s any reporting bias about it.
Not doubting the “coincidences,” but it would be interesting to validate statistically.
This is more of a cultural thing where you know you will get killed if you go against the leader, you know it’s “bad” to even talk bad about them, and it’s just accepted and you don’t really criticize it… Because criticizing your government would mean getting in serious trouble. You learn this young. You accept it. You just don’t do it.
That’s how it was in the USSR, how it persisted under Putin, and they just believe that to be a symptom of a “strong” government. Apparently youth might be waking up a bit more in recent years, but it was like that for a long fucking time and they accept that just opening a piece of white paper in front of a building like a protester means getting carried away.
So yeah they know these people are getting killed by their government. It’s just accepted. There is no question that it isn’t an accident.
Looks like they are running out of windows
“Let’s see them throw me out a window now! I’ll never set foot inside a building with a window ever again. I’m just going to live a simple life outdoors with my mushrooms. They’re the only thing that brings me joy anymore.”
Guess he didn’t stick to the “no blue no chew” rule.
We had a case of death cap mushrooms in a Beef Wellington in Australia. The cook was convicted of killing her ex in-laws. Sounds familiar.
Ex in laws? That’s a hell of a grudge to hold
Yeah I remember reading that story. It was pretty fucked up.
When I become a political speaker I’m going to make my hobbies piano moving, snake catching, deep sea fishing, and free climbing.
Don’t forget BASE jumping.

…the mushrooms he saw in the yard of his home, right before diving from the fifth floor window in his excitement to pick them up and being almost saved by a passer-by, helpfully trying to slow his fall by shooting a few bullets up at him

Accidental is the keyword.
