No it’s spot on. Check the response by the chess association. They blame the boy. In Russia, it’s your fault and there will be bureaucratic treacle to wade through instantly.

I’ve worked with many people from that region over the years and dated one and it’s absolutely right.

It’s also why lots of people left.

Wasn’t a bad dating experience. We’re still friends. She moved out of Russia because no one would investigate why her brother disappeared on a government job. It was her problem. It was his fault.

She calls her own people culturally defective.

> the robot started misbehaving

Or rather, when “the device malfunctioned”.

This was closer to an industrial accident, rather than to Robot Revolt.

But yeah, the response is appalling.

Um what? Maybe you should step away from the internet for a while?

Maybe you should consider that when a person brings up their dating experience to support their spite towards some culture in a discussion about a child's broken finger, they actually couldn't care less about the child, eh?

There is really no other reason to bring "I dated someone Russian" into this discussion other than spite.
