  • I and many tens of thousands of others use it for accurate and timely war updates. Where are we expected to go if Telegram starts censoring everything?

    This could be catastrophic for the war effort online.

    Edit: I should note that with the exception of illegal things, like child pornography, being made aware of to the owner of the platform they should have to act on that. That’s excluded from the ramifications this will have on important matters. Any platform should be made to act IF they are made aware of such activities.




  • My coworker told me he’s spent I think he said $8,000 on Destiny 2. That was half a year ago or more. So more by now. I was so floored that I don’t remember the number exactly but it was astronomical. One of the few times in my life I struggled not to show a disrespectful amount of shock or however you wanna put that.

    Today he told me his friends are trying to get him into Warframe. But he said he didn’t like the idea of not being able to get into the main quests without jumping through hoops. I don’t know either game well, but I’m pretty sure that’s ironic.

    It’s escapism for him, I know that much, so it’s tangential.











  • I agree with you but I also understand why this is happening. I would be hard pressed to say I would be made out for military service even though I have great respect for those in the military. Cowardice is one reason and a very relatable one at that. To say people aren’t fleeing because of cowardice at all is naive. But to judge them for that is unfair. I think we all agree there.

    That being said, people in your comment chain aren’t taking into account the fact that the very fabric of the Ukrainian society is under threat of total eradication. Historically that brings out a higher calling in people to defend their own homes, their loved ones, and their neighbors.

    At any rate, the fleeing of these men bodes quite poorly for the future of us all.

    I’m tired of people acting like Ukraine isn’t holding back the fascist tide of Russian imperialism to the benefit of us all. If they were to give up today it would spell the end of their civilization, and a start to many great problems for the rest of us. Our peace is paid for in Ukrainian blood right now. Russia is sabotaging several foreign powers with intention to finish this genocide and expand the war. America, Germany, Sweden and elsewhere have been hit. And people act like we’re not going to have to put our own soldiers on the line at some point. And the less Ukrainians in the fight, the sooner that will be.

    Give me the downvotes. I’ve studied Russian history.

    Edit: I’d also like someone to give me an alternative to conscription in their case. I see no other option.
