Don’t feed the trolls.
I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.
Don’t feed the trolls.
Okay, tough guy. Why don’tcha get off of Lemmy and go fight in Ukraine? After all, someone who isn’t a doormat pussy (such as yourself) would surely love to do their part in fighting Russia…
…Right? Or are you just here to insult everyone like a raging asshole?
NATO is a defensive pact, not a global army. Its job is to keep its member countries safe and peaceful. NATO will not attack Russia unless Russia does so first by attacking a NATO country. Ukraine is currently not in NATO (though they wish to be) and as such NATO will not be involved. The individual countries, of course, can help support Ukraine but that’s about it.
“Study makes an obvious conclusion everybody with half a brain cell made months prior.”
You make a very good point. The ball has to start rolling somewhere, right?
I’m very likely the only siren enthusiast on Lemmy. Even if I opened my own community about them, I doubt anyone would care enough to use it. On Reddit, there is a small but very active sub for siren enthusiasts, although lack of moderation has led to it being overrun by obnoxious kids.
I just post siren stuff on relevant communities here, but they’re not explicitly for that kind of thing and I worry sometimes that I’m annoying people with my hobbies.
Troll. Downvote and ignore them.
If someone wants to cosplay as store merchandise, that’s none of my business!
Their helicopters are also generally old and with scarce replacement parts due to sanctions. Mechanical failure could easily be the case if not the terrain.
I have a feeling Russia will be gaining a few more submarines in the near future. Slava Ukraine!
Won’t somebody please think about the shareholders?
The Russian invaders don’t want to die? Then get the fuck out of Ukraine and stay out!
Run along back to Russia now, comrade with a brand new account that definitely wasn’t just made for trolling and bad faith arguments.
You don’t rise in the ranks of the Russian military by being competent, you rise by kissing enough asses and having the right connections.
I said this on another thread posted by a very antagonistic vegan: Acting holier-than-thou, smug, and hostile is not a good way to convince people of your arguments. It pushes people away and biases them against you and the argument you’re making.
Far too often I see vegans outright shaming and harassing people for choosing to eat meat, or acting smug and superior because they are making “the right moral decision” and everyone else is lessor for thinking otherwise. I often see them call people “stupid” and “lazy” for not making the same choice they did.
Now, if I came here acting the same way, but I was championing eating only meat and shaming others for eating vegetables, I’m sure vegans would be upset for the same reason.
It’s gotten bad enough that a lot of people (admittedly myself included) are put off by vegans and their arguments. Not because the arguments don’t have merit (they certainly do) but because enough vegans have acted antagonistic or smug that they get shunned for it when the discussion gets brought up, because it’s what has become expected.
If you really want people to listen to you, you need to frame it from a friendlier and more down-to-earth position and not come across as hostile. The human mind tends to close itself off immediately when faced with hostility. This doesn’t just apply to discussions about veganism, but any discussion in general really.
This might not be a “stupid” question, but it sure is a loaded and leading one that for sure isn’t in good faith. Welcome to my block list, enjoy your stay.
It’s almost like being extremely antagonistic and smug doesn’t convince people of your arguments and just puts them off…
Prove it.
Nice 8 hour old account. Probably made just to stir shit up, eh?
They’re authoritarians like the Nazis, but they aren’t Nazis. They like Stalin’s approach to authoritarianism instead.
They’re on a 2 hour old account… chances are it was created just to troll and spew nonsense.
