  • I understand the sentiment behind this, but FTR, the Hippocratic Oath is specifically towards patients: to treat them equally with the sole goal of improving their condition(s).

    Hating on one particular doctor fulfilling their oath is misguided unless you want proving you're worthy of treatment before any doctor will help you to become the norm.

    This is the site that 50501 uses for its event organizing. Pretty easy to filter by location and date.

    Mobilizon is the underlying platform, and it's federated, so that's nice.

  • This needs some attention. Mod pinning should federate and I don't understand why it doesn't.

  • Honestly, he's right. Data cable and infrastructure sabotage, assassinations, satellite communications jamming, and constant disinformation campaigns to spur a far right resurgence.

    EU needs to start Tatting for russian tits. I would even go so far as to say they need to escalate until russia backs down before it is too late. The problem is civilians are too unwilling to support hostile responses. Happy to keep the peace no matter the cost until it is their turn to get invaded.

  • Yeah 'food shortage not rising to full blown famine' would probably be more accurate. There have been several severe droughts in the USSR/Russia since WWII that impacted food availability.

    This chart shows the age distribution:

  • By your logic, Canada has twice the population of the US. This is obviously not the case.

    Land area has little to do with population as you yourself eloquently show with the examples in your statement. The area's culture, history, and environment are all more relevant factors for demographics. The USSR's population was the hardest hit by WWII and their population 'catch up' hindered by frequent famines.

    LBGTQ+ Activists Issue Mass Call to Organize This Weekend

  • It's a fair point. I agree they would have attacked Zelensky no matter what, but IMO when Zelensky handed them their ass they fell back to core principles and so unsurprisingly resulted to classist insults.

    Regardless, I'm really not that invested in the topic. My issue was the OP was hiding behind quotation marks instead of saying what they wanted to say and sealioning instead of explaining when people asked for clarification. My interpretation being so off mark itself shows an explaination was warranted.

  • If you don't understand how criticizing not wearing a suit relates to working class I don't think I can help you.

    Going after someone for not wearing the right colour suit is similar in nature: 'you are not one of us'.

  • Thank you for at least trying to answer the question. In the future it is polite to clarify your post when someone says they don't get it, and rude to ignore them. @[email protected]

  • That's my point: you are flinging shit at the wall and shrugging. What are YOU trying to say?

  • A blowhard obfuscating a very simple and commonly understood message: clothes matter. They communicate your status, ideology, and alignments. The recent fiasco in the White House where Zelenskyy was criticized for not wearing a suit coupled with the protest image depicted above strongly suggests a commonly heard refrain around these parts:

    This is a war between classes. Oligarchs/Plutocrats vs Workers.

    And consequently Zelenskyy identifying with the working class is the real reason Trump is withdrawing support.

    There's more to it I'm sure, but frankly, I can't be bothered when people vomit word salads instead of just saying what they mean. It is more important for them to 'sound' intelligent, than communicate their message so I give them what they want :P

    Zelensky thanks America for four minutes straight

    During his visit to Washington on Feb. 28, President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance over ways to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war. The Kyiv Independent has compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.

    Russian UMPK kits, which turn regular bombs into guided glide bombs, use components imported by bypassing sanctions. Although the trail initially seemed to lead to Taiwan, further investigations revealed that companies from China were collaborating with the Russians.

    The U.S. will send Ukraine the full $6 billion in outstanding military aid before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said at a briefing on Nov. 7.

    Previously, Politico reported that U.S. President Joe Biden was rushing to deliver the remaining $6 billion by the end of his term out of fear that a Trump administration might halt weapons shipments to Ukraine.

    Ukraine will receive $4 billion under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which pulls weapons from U.S. stocks, and $2 billion from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Singh told reporters.

    Changes to NSFW / Combat footage posts

    In consideration of those who use UI's that autoplay videos, and that posts would show up in /All, the rules for posts containing combat footage have been changed:

    From now on, any new post containing combat footage should have "[Combat]" in its title. If any of the footage contains visible humans in combat, alive, injured, or otherwise, then the post must have the NSFW flag checkmarked.

    As always, extreme violence, and gore are still prohibited.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Discussion regarding NSFW content and policy

    @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

    I've been getting complaints about footage that is technically non-violent but leaves enough to the imagination that it apparently bothers people, so I wanted to get input regarding where the NSFW line should be drawn.

    The video posted here is a perfect example of where I think the limit is. The only complaint I can see is the discharge of a firearm. Does that count? Is 'being able to put 2 and 2 together to know what happened' enough to warrant flagging as NSFW? Was the previous status quo good enough?

    Setting aside the obvious "I know it when I see it", please share your thoughts.

    Until a better consensus of where the line should be for the community I will leave it temporarily flagged as NSFW.
