  • Not really, because the process of getting this ethanol can not yield perfect results. I don’t know about other countries but in Russia the actual alcohol used in vodka is tiered like this (worst to best, mostly by impure contents): “Высшей очистки” (of highest purification, not really in use as of today, and refers to the process used in USSR times), “Basis”, “Extra”, “Lux”, and “Alpha”.

    Alpha-grade alcohol is also defined to be produced only from wheat, whereas other ones might be made from potato. This achieves lower methanol content in the product.

    Still tastes like crap though, no matter the cost. Vodka is a ritual: you need a good company and a table full of different kinds of food to enjoy it.


  • They can be annoying, frustrating, naive and so on. It doesn’t mean they won’t believe in the same ideas, they’re just a bit ignorant. That’s why it’s important to explain why this line of thinking in this meme is harmful, not to shame them. There’s a path to “wokeness”, basically, it’s not instant.

    Not everyone is terminally online, especially if they’re working two jobs just to survive. We must not gatekeep socialist ideas, it’s one of those things on the left that divides people and drives them away.




  • I like to think of “parents and tech” as “kids and toys”. They don’t understand it, they just want to use it and enjoy it. And they certainly don’t care what problematic ethics are involved. So just like with kids, we have to be more careful and caring. And we definitely don’t want to overwhelm them with too much information.
