Sure, sure.

Do they also know who’s in fact going to go and cat the vote?

They are just serving those who can claim back the ticket money. Mostly, you know, those that use your money to pay those tickets.

It’s bullshit to get conservatives out of the house to vote - “anybody but the commies!” - and keep labour voters sleeping late, and making plans to enjoy life, thinking the win is certain.

“Who would have known that the mighty people of Yemen would challenge the empires of the world,” he added, referring to the Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea that have led to two nights of retaliatory strikes by the US and UK.

This does not sound like somebody interested in promoting peace.

This comment, above, does not provide any context to the news linked.

And like the that you go to the block list.

I remember that convo. Howdy!!

1 video does not prove your guess.

Otherwise, I’ll call out the last “war on the rocks” to hear Koufman saying (as side note) that the cluster arty was only necessary because of lack of ‘normal’ arty. [Or was it the last Perun!?! Pointing out the lack of European commitment on increasing arty production…]

But, IMHO, the best way to find your own sources is to explore by hashtags , like:

Please,

discussing a complex geopolitical situation

Is not

telling their users to be nice to others and not break the rules of other instances

You are not being consistent.

Also, an admin detailing how to think about a complex geopolitical situation is not discussing.

Thanks for offering your perspective. Maybe I’m too cynical. Or maybe I’m reading to much into the Russia-Ukraine-Nato thing.

In any case, at current information, I can both accept the defederation, or just teaching people that they can choose and block specific users and communities.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding all the Russia-Ukraine-NATO section.

Thanks for the answer but I can only understand your first sentence. After that I have no clue about what you mean .

From reading that thread it is not just a socialist instance.

They are instructing their members on how to relate to others, how to react to outsiders comments in their communities, and how to protect themselves from outsiders opinions. To me that sounds like cult level brainwashing techniques.

Another word that comes to mind is brigading.

The Hexbear thread on federation: https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770 – read it yourself.

To me it reads like a plan to increase their reach with preventive instructions on how to avoid being ‘influenced’ by outsiders’ opinions.

My guesstimation is that it is a disinformation machine based on useful idiots.

Putting aside all the important stuff… where can get that music?

Yea, I did assume something else. Assumptions are always a problem; they seem so obvious…

Thanks for your considerate answer.

I don’t think the cluster ammo willl be used any other way than with a howitzer. I don’t think there is a shortage of production of grenades. A shortage of shells, yes, and it might just be to mitigate that. Might. That would not be great news for Ukraine.

The math you’re using is a tad hyperbolic. 1 to 3% of 88 bomblets is not 2-3 duds, in fact it is less than 1 to 3. If you’re thinking about 10 shells we can do math with better precision, and the result is less than 30, it is 9 to 26. Nevertheless, the failure rate I’ve seen elsewhere is 2.76%, so for 10 shells that is 24 duds. At this stage you might think 24, 30, it’s almost the same… But also dud bomblets are not equivalent to mines. On the short term they are most definitely not like mines. On the long term, on the context of managing their danger, they can be thought of as mines, like mines left on a field for a long time. Some blow up, some don’t. Nobody wants them on their yard.

In all cases I’d use them in my yard if it helped me fight a murderous sadistic thief out of my stuff. If only just to disincentivize their murderous sadistic thieving actions from attacking my neighbours and other people.

Nuke shells should not exist in the hands of anybody.

It’s very good. Thanks!
