@prestonstew_ But then ... they wouldn't be his fans 🤷‍♂️ Critical skills can be selective, but not to this degree.

@mil_in_ua Superbowl наступного року буде набагато видовищніший 😅

@tactigray They punched themselves with the one-two combo of BF3 and BF4 and didn't recover, as of now. Hopefully, the next one revives the franchise.

@Lg__Dn В мене колишня колега викладала і ось що один з її студентів казав. Це з треду де всі обсирають MSFT/Office 😅

@importantdrivel @spectatorindex TikTok It's not like it isn't already

@bookazoid_ Там як раз два нових X3D готують до релізу 🤌

@astraiaintel Depends on where you live. An average tankie won't understand the generational trauma of Ukrainians under the Soviet occupation. They don't even know that Stalin killed as many, if not more, of his people compared to Hitler. Hitler would have been worse in the long-run though.

@BoMjus @_Tom_Henderson_ @Inferionix But the pre-order data will matter in today's quarter-driven corporate space. So, it'll pump up the numbers anyway. And then, even if the beta is bad, a large portion will not refund because "they promise to fix XYZ by launch" or want to keep the extra "pack/skin" or something.

@tactigray As a reminder: don't buy the hype and the trailers, don't pre-order. Studios don't get the lesson otherwise.

@Mike_Tweets_Too @P_Kallioniemi Yes, whataboutism is bad, but what about the invasion of Iraq and how bad it was?! 😅

@P_Kallioniemi @robertpuklin That reply also showcases one of their core propaganda moves. See, if I ask "what about the slave dungeons under the Kremlin?", it's as if I'm legitimizing the claim and don't even have to prove anything. This move tries to shift the burden of proof on the other party.

@Ajanex36205 @SpencerHakimian @unusual_whales It can also be the opposite, since smaller operations can be harder to detect 🤷‍♂️ It's one thing to smuggle grams or kilos. It's a different story when it's hundreds of kilos and more. At this scale (<1%), a lot of that could be small, local actors.

@TallbarFIN The last 3 years reminds me of one of those videos where a dog is trying to squeeze through a fence and then the camera pans out and, like a meter to the left, the fence ends. The gap in the fence being what Ukrainians have been saying for years.

@OlgaOfUzhhorod The recent Agency, with Fasbender. It's about CIA and part of the plot is about an operation in Ukraine. No spoilers, but I think it did good, compared to 99% of TV/cinema with Ukraine in it. Plus, they used actual Ukrainian actors, so Ukrainian dialogue is real.

@prestonstew_ Yeah, I still remember that horrible story about poling stations in DC being hammered by Confederate ballistic missile strikes and how they had to use Gatling guns to fend off nightly drone raids launched from South Carolina.

@Artdre__ @JimmySecUK It's not THE issue, it's one of the issues worth reminding about. The fact that it's a blindspot for you doesn't make the issue of "decolonizing" the language any less important.

@Artdre__ @JimmySecUK You clearly haven't met a Ukrainian who would've gladly explained to you why it's important. That's why there's a Community Note on the Economist article.

@TheEconomist Stop misspelling Odesa before even trying to publish something. You don't spell Beijing as Peking for the same reason, because the state where the city is officially changed it. Spelling it wrong either shows stupidity, lack of tact, or pro-Russian bias, or all of the above.

@DD_Geopolitics Didn't know Google Maps was secret NATO technology. Not to mention that Ukraine has its own capabilities in this area (satellite + a contract for images from ICEYE). Almost no sort of real-time intel would be useful in such strikes (stationary, big ass targets with no AA).

@prestonstew_ Not strange if you consider the sources that they consume, e.g. regurgitated Russian proaganda (the Sacks of this world). Meanwhile, Russians actually live in Russia and see the reality, albeit still through the prism of the internal propaganda.
