I wonder why they are banning it? A cursory google says its an insect borne virus found on every continent except Antarctica.

You can hear what Israelis have to say from their own mouths. It’s evil.

Me too! My husband teases me about it. I take it and get sleepy. Zzzz

This is very beautiful, and very sad.

Thank you for the clarification, I had thought it was a useful site, but admit I never looked into its sources.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, I thought it was actually useful, but admit I had never looked into it and its sources.

Is there something I don’t know about MBFC? Edit: typo

Did you read the article?

“Russia launched 127 missiles and 109 attack drones”

and later it says:

“Previously, an attack last December when 158 missiles and drones were fired at Ukraine, had been considered the largest attack so far.”

It’s been a while since I was in school but I think 236 drones and missiles is more than 158?

A lot of countries outside the States have cafes and restaurants, even pubs with play areas for children specifically designed so parents can go out with their children and enjoy a meal and get together while their children play.

I moved to Australia from the States and remember the first time I saw an indoor play space with sound proof glass walls larger than any McDonalds in a nice pub with sit down dining. Such a neat idea.

I missed the discussion on voting the other day it seems, but for what it’s worth, I like the voting system. In real life discussions happen in open air, and don’t hang there in posterity for people to stumble upon after. When we come to a consensus in conversation it is then left at that and we move on.

When online, these discussions stay as they are, and I think voting gives a way of people to come to a consensus, to leave a mark upon the conversation such that the people who come behind understand how everyone felt about it.

This is helpful I think, because it does not hide the down votes on nasty comments or ideas that hurt others.

One of the most interesting and horrible things about the internet is that every village has a “crazy Bob” but because they were the minority the good of the people outnumbered their outlandish or hateful ideas.

Now they can and do find each other online, forming a vocal and damaging minority. Without the majority able to show their dislike, human nature means more will fall in line with them and their ideals.

I thought any POWs that wish to stay in Ukraine are given the choice?

I hope anyone left behind is given safe passage to Ukraine or Russia, as they prefer.

Which Lenovo laptop, if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are Lenovo laptops with Linux support, but I am on a Lenovo Legion Slim 5, and I have heard there are quite a few issues that would need to be sorted.

Thank goodness!

Posting an article with sources and saying that this sort of thing is happening is not Russian propaganda. I and my family stand with Ukraine, your straw man argument is ridiculous and inflammatory.

These things happen in war, every day. Refusing to look at them, picking and choosing your facts to suit your opinions, and accusing others of being Russian propagandists is not a good look.

I appreciate that we all want peace and victory in Ukraine, and that any voice pointing out their flaws draws immediate downvotes.

Have a good day.

There was more than one incident reported in the article, and more than one soldier spoke to the reporters and provided proof. I don’t think it’s widespread, but pretending it doesn’t happen instead of facing it and creating policies and procedures to handle it gives legitimacy to the enemies’ claims.

Unfortunately there are credible reports of exactly this happening by soldiers from other countries fighting in Ukraine. Doesn’t mean it’s widespread, but it is happening.
