  • They are a mix of small sorting games with a time limit and visual quizzes that can get really hard to solve. There was one where you have to rotate three small round pictures inside another picture to match the background picture that is basically just noise. Every market has its own multistep captcha system and they change quite a lot. Some are creative, some are just nightmare. The hardest ones are those where you have to solve multiple rotations of miniature „pictures“ that are like ultra close ups of things with an extreme compression and noise and somehow you have to decide if they are houses or bridges. The compression is so bad, you can barely even make out what those rotated 30x30 grey pixel smush are. And there are 6 of them you have to solve in a certain time. I ran into timeouts constantly and have to start over.








  • Do they with “certain values” mean their abnormal high numbers of domestic violence (not a crime in russia) or the rape-culture inside their military (also not a crime)? Or do they mean with “certain values” to mass-arrest everyone who is showing the least critique or forming an own opinion about the war? Or are the certain values to kill hundred of thousands of your own people in a senseless war? Or the value of killing or poisoning people not only in their own but also foreign countries for political reasons? These values? Or the value to undermine the politics of sovereign countries by hiring troll-workers and use microtargeting to misinform people via social media about that countries policies? Russia has so many values, sometimes I am really confused what their most important values are.


  • It’s a Russian thing. It is only for the court room. In many countries you do not put someone in a cage while the trial is running, but in Russia the trials can be such a farce that they hold the accused in a small in-room cell to not act up. If you get 10 years in a gulag because you said something against putin, you tend to snap and might want to strangle the corrupt judge as nothing makes sense anymore and everything is just so far away from normality. It also helps the authority that every picture that is taken by the accused automatically paints the accused as a criminal and guilty (he is behind bars right? He must have done something)
