Do it, and film it, so we can laugh at the stupid Russians.
Nothing about the situation should be making anyone laugh.
This war is one of the largest tragedies of our years, and none of the soldiers on either side deserve to die in those trenches, but Putin almost getting couped by Prigo, then Prigo getting killed by Putin was pretty funny.
Oh those poor Russian soldiers, it’s a tragedy they’re dying!
Oh wait, no, it’s a great thing they’re dying. Anyone who willingly or “just follows orders” the genocide of another peoples deserves to die.
The second a soldier gets handed a gun and doesn’t turn it back around on those who armed them and instead attacks innocent people on their orders is the second they lose any value as a human.
Yeah, no. Life doesn't work like that. You can have empathy for Russian soldiers while still hoping they lose the war.
It's very much a "sucks to be you, but you shouldn't be there" situation.
No.
You don’t have empathy for actively participating murderers.
you should have empathy for everyone:
The ability to identify with or understand another's situation or feelings
“Ohhh my circumstances forced me to kill innocent people, woe is me”
Fuck off with that nonsense. Can you identify with Hitler situations or feelings? Sympathy for child rapists? Etc.
you should be able to understand and empathise with horrible people imo. just saying "they're bad so I don't need to understand why they do what they do" can lead you to hate people that shouldn't be hated and will prevent you from actually addressing the issues that result in people behaving in horrible ways.
That's not how it works. It is much easier to sit behind a computer and have opinions than saying no in that situation.
The reason everything is so shit in the world is because no one will take a stand against those that abuse us.
There's the question of willingness, and then there's that of ability. A single person acting independently with no prior planning will quickly get shut down, and the world will be no better for it.
It is how it works.
I have zero respect for people who invade other countries instead of fighting their own.
Touch grass
Don’t kill innocent people?
I don't understand the downvotes, just look at this video of Putin executing civilians in cold blood:
Oh wait, that's not Putin it's the "inocent" russian soliders that deserve empathy and kindness
how one military unit commitment potential war crimes
Your attitude shows a very simplistic style of thinking about these things.
Sometimes you laugh so that you don't cry.
Those Su-30s are probably long gone by now, but they can't take the glide bombs with them.
Good time to destroy infrastructure
Finders keepers
50 miles = 80.47 km (rounded)
50 miles = 4223989.5 hammer units (rounded)
How many football fields or double decker buses is that?
How many bananas is that?
This is left as an exercise for the student.
Is that source engine or blam? I can't remember, or are those both wrong?
Got it. Thank you

Converting miles to kilometers and vice versa is a fun exercise to do in your head
The Fibonacci sequence (where every number in the sequence is a sum of the previous 2 numbers) has a ratio of Fib(n)/Fib(n-1) converging to the golden ratio phi (~1.618) as n approaches infinity.
A mile is 1.609 kilometers, so the ratio of phi is an extremely close approximation of that.
What this means is you can easily use the Fibonacci sequence to quickly convert from miles to kilometers using adjacent numbers in the sequence
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...
So you can quickly see something like 5 (or 50, or 500) miles is approximately 8 ( or 80, or 800) kilometers.
Also, yiu can quickly do easy multiplication or division to figure out other approximate distance.
Say, for 6 miles. 3 miles ( * 2) = 5km ( * 2) = 10km.
For 11 miles, 55 miles * 2 = 110 miles / 10 = 11 miles, and 89 km * 2 = ~180 km / 10 = 18 km [actual conversion is 17.703 km, so, pretty close]
You can do similar approximations by using other multiples.
Fuck the blyats.

3 comments, none visible. Says a lot.
I see 12 out of the 13. I'm guessing you are blocking people.
it would mean you have a great block list ?
Wait, there is blocklists for Lemmy?
You can block other users if you want, and, you will find them listed in your block list. This does not affect other users but only what you can see.
They are all encouraging
Guys......I think this guy picked a name.
