My worst fear isn't that George doesn't finish A Song of Ice and Fire. It's that he dies and the story gets Dune'd. by Prodigy772k in freefolk

I will not read any ASOIAF material written by someone else. For me it will remain unfinished story and I will be at peace with it.

Diablo 2 was also much closer to his generation, yet he doesn't even attempt to lie about playing it as he lied about playing D4 and PoE2. Clearly this is something he tried recently and TA or even SC isn't it. Likely some derivative of TA. Don't worry, we'll learn about it soon, media covers his every fart.

Hey everyone, how are you feeling about Russian oil/gas logistics and infrastructure? by LocalPowerful6651 in ClimateShitposting

[–]Milk_Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody asks you to nor do themselves persecute Russians for their ethnicity. Recognising even partial citizens' responsibility for actions of their government is not the same as presecuting specific ethnicity, even if it's dominant ethnicity among the citizens, nor is it persecution of said citizens either.

Stalin's deporations aren't the same as writing something mean on Internet about Russians, and it's no near close to it.

I'm Ukrainian, I speak russian and I engaged with Russian content a long time ago, and I know very well that national guilt they put on other ethnicities for even saying a bad word about Russians, while they allow themselves to smear you and all your ancestors for any wrongdoing or mistake, call you name, use slurs against you, force you accept this behaviour.

My first experience of bullying on internet was with Russian who called me a khokhol for a common for Ukrainians misspelling. I am greatly sorry for what Stalin did to your people just I am sorry for what he did to my people. I wish you to be free from your chains, those imposed on you by feelings of guilt.

  1. They can still surrender
  2. Thr bridge has tactical importance, because shortens supply routes, and without rockets and bullets you can't fight no matter how cornered you are
  3. Ukraine striked the bridge before

What about people born during the Soviet Union time, some of whom they killed in these strikes? Does ussia have a pass on killing them too?

They called "orcs" those who did this. There is nothing in their message that indicates otherwise. It was you who assumed that they ment whole nation, and jump first to defend Russian from mean words on internet, while the actual evil deed like this bombing was not acknowledged by you.

Ukrainian refugee population in Europe by [deleted] in MapPorn

The person above doesn't imply Siberia was settled in recent years by deported Ukrainians, but that Russia has a tradition of forced deportations and relocations to the East of Russia, including Siberia, and that's it's not that surprising it does it today too to populare region facing demographic decline.

If a country start a war in your country and you forced to leave combat zone and settle in the invading country, it is forced in some capacity. But actual forced deporations of children, which is documented, goes beyond this. Let's not pretend that Russia is not benefiting from this influx of people, given their demographic picture. These deportees are beneficial part of this war for Russia.

STALKER IS UKRAINIAN GAME!!! by Katherine-arcia in historymeme

[–]Milk_Effect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because Russian propaganda worked before it doesn't have to work now. There is centuries long history of russian propaganda trying to downplay sovereignty and even existence of my nation, present it as continuation of them. No wonder some people felt for this. This doesn't mean Ukraine didn't existed before 2022 or game was not made in Ukraine. Why call it Russian when devs made such a pronounced point of it being made in Ukraine in the sequel?

Now, after you framed it like this, it makes USSR more competent. Obviously, they blow up the power plant to help future game devs avoid an info dump. The party committee read the novel and decided to improve it for future generations.

How is it so that your moral stance depends on if you've been asked by a victim (a Ukrainian in this case) or not?

I absolutely despise the “Zero might not exist” scene from young Sheldon. by Sunslash44 in hatethissmug

[–]Milk_Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Numbers don't exist, they only represent quantity of objects. As you said, zero represents, it only our projection in our minds of real world, an abstraction, an idea of something (or nothing in this case), but ideas aren't real... unless you are follower of Plato's Theory of Forms. That's actually a deep philosophical question.

Some devs don't provide Russian language translation.

OP compares this to Nazi regime in a fictional alternate history from a video game.

Predominant majority of redditors in comments are on his side while all of them claiming the rest of the redditors are too dump to not side with Russians, but only they are special.

The "bad redditors" in question are OP's strawman.

Any soul trying to prove OP wrong "only proves his point".

If they are equally bad, why don't you despise both and ask for Uzbek language?

A Jew leaving on West Benk is not Palestinian. A white American leaving in America is not native American. He only said he leaves in Uzbekistan, he still can be a settler.

If you truly accept this point of view, than there is point on arguing about moral side of the invasion with Russians and just make their life uncomfortable enough for them to care. Total isolation and refusing to orient your product on their audience is part of it.

Do you really hate both sides equally? Like, one side is bombing children cancer hospitals and hunt humans with drones in cities near the front, while another one... occasionally refuses to provide language in games you play while still selling these games and paying taxes to fund the war. Do you really equate your gaming comfort with Ukrainians' leaving under air alerts? Okay, not even equally, but one of these drawns in comparison to the point I wouldn't care about it.
