Yeah, it’s a difficult situation. I haven’t looked at the recent numbers regarding European countries contributions and their own militarization, I’m sure they’ve drastically increased since the war started

A large part of this war is centered on propaganda and information warfare- something Russia excels at

Why would they? Much of Eastern Europe expects the US to step in for defense, and use that fact to justify lowering expenditure on their own military.

Sweden has that shit figured out though

Don’t fuck with the Swedish

So I have a two part reply to this-

1. If notifications cause you that much distress, social media will be inherently damaging to your mental health. At that point, it makes sense to mute notifications for apps entirely.

however

2. Being able to mute a thread is not something that would subtract from anybody else’s experience, and can only add to people’s who use it.

So overall, I think this is a good idea

That’s… actually a pretty good analogy. I see your point, especially since the ability to mute a thread doesn’t subtract from anybody else’s experience

I’ll be real this is a “if you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen” kinda thing

They’ve been blocking VPNs now and it just makes me not use it even in the few cases it’s useful.

Same thing I do now but with a fatter bank account

The comparison of their style of rhetoric to right wingers in the US makes sense. On the surface it’s hard to tell which group is talking

I’m convinced there’s a concentrated effort coming from somewhere

There are a lot of Russians, and nobody dies quite like them

Yeah Russia just showed up to plant sunflowers and give everyone candy.

Because HIV is a huge deal in the gay/bi hookup communities. They don’t force you to provide it, it’s just courtesy to your partners

Nobody wants nothing, that’s conceptually silly

Hush and go back to /c/conservative

What theocracy does to a mfer

You can’t really be religious, especially a follower of Abrahamic faiths without

A: accepting what the texts actually say, which involves implicit acceptance of abhorrent views

Or

B: cherry picking and denying the abhorrent parts, which means you aren’t actually following the religion at all

If you go with B, you’re not really religious, you’re spiritual and searching for purpose and grabbing the easiest answer available.

Religion is poison

Racism is the short answer believe it or not

One of us

One of us

Uhhh… I mean no. I think the equivalency is both groups love to talk about something that Makes them feel superior- but actually just annoys everyone around them
