  • Let Russia take Ukraine and have a decade to learn from their mistakes and rebuild. The flyers dropped over the United States of USSR and United Kingdom of USSR will be cut out in the shape of a tiger. Putin will chuckle.

    Dropping aid to Ukraine is the worst possible move we can make.

  • Progozhin had a literal army protecting him. It still took over a month and the first opportunity was to plant a bomb under the wing of his private jet.

    Putin will use as much propaganda and (made up) blackmail as he needs, and if that doesn't work, he'll make sure he does something to be able to lock him up, just like he did to Navalny.

  • You can only make so many martyrs before anyone with a conscience is willing to become one as well.

  • It's a well known phenomena that some people just don't get high their first time(s). I knew a guy since high school and years after that was basically immune to it. People gave him huge vape bags and massive doses of edibles and it never had an effect. Never saw the guy forget a single word. Then apparently at some point it did, because he smokes now.

    There are also people who are terrible at metabolizing gummies. I'm not one of them. Give me 2mg and I'm good. Give me 20mg and I'm curled up in the fetal position in bed waiting for the visions and monsters in my head to go away.

  • Ah yes, the infamous Elgin VPN outproxies. Where almost all traffic from anyone employed and using the internet overseas is filtered through.

    If you're truly interested in our cyber warfare capabilities around that time and where they were stationed, I'd start with this primer.

    Then if you're still interested, I'd read our 2025-2040 initiatives.

  • Assuming you aren't one of the many bots infesting Lemmy...

    Do your ""obvious statements"" come with actual research to back them up?

    Yes the US uses bots but it's mainly real people doing the job of downvoting antI-US (or pro-US depending on the sub) posts. Chinese people don't use tiktok, they use Douyin, so this would be like reddit itself suppressing those posts, which may be happening but again, did you do the research?

    Saying something is not research.

  • I had the funny mental image of some intern at Parks Canada getting ahold of the Amazon account and putting in an order for 20,000 salt cubes for $27 each when they have literal metric truckloads of it already at bulk prices.

  • Or, the people who fund global terrorist groups are well-connected and able to fund a global proxy network of company owners who are completely unconnected to them, and they are smart enough never to communicate this information in a technological manner.

    Cyber capabilities don't help if the adversary is 7 degrees of separation away and doesn't use technology to transmit the information.

  • soft targets

    now that's a multiple meaning I can get behind. soft, pudgy, vodka filled targets.

  • Amphetamine and methamphetamine is distinguishable even in urine testing.

  • There's no written history of humans breathing before the Bible was written. Checkmate, atheists.

  • It's so insane to me how quickly Lemmy almost as a whole has been ideologically subverted, they can not even see wool as it is being pulled over their eyes.

    I am a nonbeliever, but I am a truthseeker. The majority of an entire world's generation has already been subverted in one area or another, due to global media. Whether it's Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok or YouTube, Douyin or Telegram; an entire generation has grown up ingesting content specifically engineered to target them and program them to think a certain way.

    I suppose it's not much different than traditional television and radio media from the 1920s onward, and paper before that.

    The tides are just turning so. much. faster.

    May those with the best tooling and best protected undersea cables win.

  • There are 3 leaks in circulation:

    4.3 gigs, src only

    17 gigs, src + partial assets

    1 TB, src + full assets

  • I know that in America they recognize it in the form of "thanks for the worker, here is financial assistance for diapers/food/etc if you meet under the poverty line of household income so your kids don't clog up our hospital system with your uninsured, diaper-rash-turned-infection starving children, and have some child care tax credits either way."**

    In Sweden I think every newborn comes home with a huge box of diapers clothes formula if needed etc. And I think it's a monthly box for X number of months.

    But large families aren't looked at as a status symbol like they're trying to make happen in Russia, and as it was in the Soviet Union. Literal Military Metals of Honor 3 levels deep for the amount of children you had (Level 1 was highest honor, level 3 was lowest).

    **Except maybe for some certain sects of certain religions, like some of Catholicism and Mormonism. But that's for more messengers to spread the word of Jesus/Joseph Smith. That's all the frame of reference I have.

  • Maybe not exactly, but... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Heroine

    Mother Heroine (Russian: Мать-героиня, Mat'-geroinya) is an honorary title that was used in the Soviet Union and now Russia, awarded for bearing and raising a large family.

    On 15 August 2022 Vladimir Putin signed a decree reviving the honorary title.[2]

    Also Putins intent is to turn Russia back into the Soviet Union so it's not at all surprising he's re-using things like this.

  • But? BUT?!
