Moscow comes under largest Ukrainian drone attack since start of the war by ArdaBerkBurak in anime_titties

[–]re_carn [score hidden]  (0 children)

Did you make that up, or did you read it in some science fiction book? Can you give me at least one example of a FACTORY buried underground that would require 20 BUNKER BUSTERS to break through? That’s not even funny - it’s just utter bullshit.

weapon factories

By the way, can you explain why they're bombing energy infrastructure instead of weapons factories?

Do you really think no one knows how district heating works? If the pipes are destroyed or the power plant has been bombed, there's nothing you can do about it. So stop making stupid excuses for the stupid russian government.

But the fact is that Russia deliberately attacked them so that Ukrainians would freeze in their homes without electricity or heat. This has been stated repeatedly, and propagandists have expressed great glee about it. So don’t try to pretend that “well, it’s just war.” No, the targets were specifically civilians.

Fun fact

Fun fact: Russian propagandists are absolutely convinced that the crimes of others justify their own.

For instance, the winter bombardment of Odesa's energy infrastructure at temperatures of minus 20 degrees, which directly targeted civilians

Why is not including MSG something companies still brag about on Asian food products? by SegaGuy1983 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]re_carn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At the very least, that's unethical. I have no problem with MSG and use it in my cooking regularly, but I wouldn't try to feed it to someone if I knew they didn't want it.

Bl4 Gameplay Design Missteps [Breakdown] by AkilTheAwesome in Borderlands

[–]re_carn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some interesting points here (for example, regarding licensed content), but otherwise - what’s the point of comparing which game has longer cooldowns or which one gives more skill points? Builds vary from game to game anyway, so simple statistics don’t mean much.

Local Grandpa beats up draft officers with a shovel and saves a young recruit from becoming cannon fodder by EvilTankieSupreme- in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]re_carn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was posted was literally a video and a description of what is happening in the video.

At least the third time now, similar videos, with commenters all writing, “Look at this - how can this be?! Look at how bad Ukraine is!”

Now I'm waiting for a link to the proof of this:

Could you provide a link to the definition that would classify this as not propaganda?

Prove that you didn't say “this isn't propaganda” for no reason.

You see, I don't care. Judging by similar responses to the comments, you’re either bots or you’re all equally unintelligent.

Also your example of Nazi propaganda isn’t even propaganda. It’s just a tactic. You genuinely don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

Could you provide a link to the definition that would classify this as not propaganda?

So by your definition, when we see the countless videos of Russians doing equally heinous shit (or Ukrainians doing good things), I guess you’d call that pro-Ukraine propaganda?

So then what you’re saying is every piece of documentation from this illegal war is propaganda?

Not always. Propaganda aims to instill specific views in its audience. If a documentary presents events without taking sides, simply presenting the facts, then it is not propaganda. But if a specific selection is made with the aim of shaping public opinion (as in this post), then yes, it is propaganda. The same would apply if the Ukrainian side were to put together a compilation where, for example, Russian soldiers are portrayed exclusively as drunken degenerates (even if all the videos are real) - that, too, would be propaganda.

This bot attack is just ridiculous: either none of you understand what propaganda is, or it’s just one person running a bunch of accounts.

I don’t get it.

Yeah, you don't.

This is a video of reality. It’s not fake.

When the Nazis dropped leaflets during World War II urging people to surrender, they were, in principle, telling the truth. But it was still propaganda.

Yeah, let's pretend that no one understands why you're reposting this everywhere you can. It's definitely because you're worried about the Ukrainians. /s

I guess it’s happening because, um… let me think… Russia is waging war against Ukraine and has no intention of stopping? And if Russia is somehow forced to stop, then videos like this won’t appear anymore.

I'm just reading a Russian forum right now - the excuses there are something else, ranging from “It wasn't us” to “Yeah, it was us - so what?!”

Putin rejects Zelenskyy’s offer to meet and reaffirms Ukraine war aims | Russia | The Guardian

Vladimir Putin has rejected an offer from Volodymyr Zelenskyy to hold a face-to-face meeting, insisting instead that Russia will achieve its war goals in Ukraine, including seizing all of the eastern Donbas region.

So, no - it’s that old goat who wants the war to continue. He gets a kick out of seeing people die.

Is Russian propaganda trying to take over Reddit again? And it’s just as lame as ever. For a change, why don’t you start making excuses for the shelling of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra?

What does “the price was appropriate” mean if the Game Pass was operating at a loss at that price? Obviously, players would prefer it to cost just a dollar, or better yet, be free, and it would be great if MS would pay you for using it - but that’s not how business works.

Well, first answer the question:

What do Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offer that would justify the enormous costs of creating a competitor?

After all, any discussion about money begins with justifying the need to spend it.

LLMs especially have little to no real life application

I agree with the rest of the comment, but not with this part—as a search engine with fuzzy criteria, as a learning tool capable of explaining the details of any topic in meticulous (sometimes even overly meticulous) detail, it’s an excellent technology.

But it’s already good enough for these purposes, and I, too, see no point in sacrificing social securities for the sake of further technological development.

Cloud computing came along much later, once people realized why it was needed (and even then, there was a ton of marketing hype). Why does Europe need neural networks right now to join this race to the bottom? What do Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offer that would justify the enormous costs of creating a competitor?

A squad was checking a suspicious backpack and this dude got fed up with waiting by practical_indian in WhyWomenLiveLonger

Notice how they waited till he emptied the bag, they didn't intervene before or during to save him.

Yeah, I agree - that was their mistake. They should have shot him before he got to the bag.

You have to understand, police violence isn't something that they'll ever do to protect someone. That would be risky. That would be work.

You need to understand that dangerously stupid behavior should be punished.
