Aaaah!

Btw, ain't it funny how the stereotypical nightmare is a play on adults' memories of school, but they still insist on sending their kids there?

But what if it's a nudist school, the school where you learn to be a nudist?

The "back at school" nightmare generally isn't "school was so horrible!", but generally "oh shit, I'm completely behind and totally unprepared for anything!". The most likely cause is that your brain is recontextualizing your adult anxieties as part of maintenance processes. The naked part is simpler - it probably means you're cold, and should be wearing something more substantial to bed.

I disagree with your not-toasty enough theory and posit that it's all ptsd. Or maybe it's about penises and wanting to have sex with one's mum.
And with this clever allusion to mofo pricks, I have thus rerailed the thread onto the topic of invading Russians. Or, should we start referring to them as retreating Russians?

Guys, while I also enjoy laughing at Russians... Let's not forget that this war is far from over.

The most optimistic scenario is that in the next few weeks Russians will be pushed as far as the fortified pre-February contact line on the Luhansk front and to the Dnipro river on the Kherson front. Then bad weather will come and active movements will likely stop until January when the ground will freeze and offensives will be possible again.

It means Russia will have time to bring in their reserves, restore combat-readiness of their units and begin yet another stage of the war.

Yea let's not get too comfortable. Russians are incompetent, under-equipped and out-tech'ed. Not stupid.

That's far from assured. The mud season is going to make Russian logistics even more strongly constrained to road and rail networks than they already are, and Ukraine will continue to be supplied with GMLRS ammunition. Or, in other words, the mud is going to impair Russia's ability to bring more shit up much more severely than it will degrade Ukraine's ability to destroy said shit. Not to mention that Russia's reserves and mobilized conscripts are being provided with jack shit in terms of equipment, including cold weather gear.

An operational pause for a few months will also give Ukraine the ability to pull all their equipment back into the depots for badly-needed maintenance, including the vast glut of combat vehicles that Russia has so generously supplied them with. Wanting to avoid overconfidence is fine, but there's a very real possibility that Russia will be weaker, and Ukraine stronger, when winter restarts the war after the mud comes.

Are we getting to the part where Russia starts sending the soldiers out with whatever they can steal from civilians?

Isn't mud season not until another six months give or take, when the frost leaves

That is the second one. While spring rasputitsa is usually more severe, autumn mud is also more than enough to mess with offensives (a major factor why Germans failed to reach Moscow). This autumn is unusually warm and dry but rains will come.
