@infinitedeserts Snakes on a desert plane!

@ztx True that.

I've got an autoscript running in Bitburner to automatically do a crime every 3 seconds (homicide in this case, I'm so bad...). With a bit of luck (or just a long wait) I can have -54000 (yes, minus fifty-four thousand) karma in 15 hours so that I can form a gang in BitNode 4.1 and actually start earning money.

Aaaaand.... that is actually the power of BitNode 4.1, it introduces access to automating a few things including criminal activities. And I'll have access to this in other BitNodes too if I manage to break BitNode 4.1.

Just to wait 15 hours now, heh. ;)

@ztx It was pretty much summarized, of course, hence the quotation marks. Though you can see in the media Russian officials consistently talking about 'Special Operations' and trying to avoid talking about 'invasion' at all.

Not sure they're still keeping up that act as I'm not really watching those videos (most aren't subtitled or not adequately, I'm at a disadvantage with videos). They ought to realize that almost nobody's buying it outside of their Russian news bubble.

But I've read articles (Like this one here in Dutch: https://nos.nl/artikel/2420942-ik-weet-niet-of-ik-mijn-russische-vader-ooit-weer-wil-zien ) about Ukrainians who have family in Russia. Those Ukrainians had to evacuate to another country because their city got bombed, and their family members in Russia refused to believe that it's because of Russian soldiers. Even when sent pictures of the whole thing, they're claiming that it is Ukrainian troops scaring the population. Not sure where the logic is in that, but it shows to me that Russian propaganda's pretty effective there.

Of course, you could claim that all what I've read is propaganda too, and that is also a possibility. Though the rest of the world usually have more independent reporters around than Russia which has introduced very strict laws that can imprison you for 'misinformation' which is very open to interpretation. Very convenient for the ones in charge over there, I'll grant you that.

@unpopop When free speech harms people, that's pretty much where it ends.

There are seriously people believing that there are no Russian armies in Ukraine 'because Putin said so'. That's not really helping resolve the war anytime soon.

@unpopop From those big companies announcing publicly they're leaving Russia.. yeah. It's not like they wanted to be there anyway because of the unstable Ruble.

But banning/sanctioning in general does seem to have quite an effect so far.

@Acer I dunnoooooo.. I know plenty of people I wouldn't mind leaving.

@Acer Was the past lost? Usually people are lost in the present.

@Sphinx Mm, it's daylight savings in 2 weeks here. (27 march to be precise).

@Pat The mere fact you know your posts have grammatical errors isn't making me jump up fast to correct you. ;) Oh, I might if I spot them, but I'm not 100% paying attention to those.

Whereas @Sphinx genuinely wouldn't know if he made a mistake, so I'm willing to help him out there whenever I see that.

@Sphinx But would you like it if I correct you when I think something's wrong? Some people don't like getting corrected, so that's why I'm asking. Definitely not on a high horse here. ;)

@Pat

@al1r4d Heh, you won't get banned on qoto for having a different or unpopulair opinion.

But I can take a guess here and I'm suspecting I might not like you very much if that's indeed the case. ;)

@Pat But is there much of a game left if the stacks are so uneven?

@al1r4d

@Pat I haven't even checked YouTube comments yet, just did now.

The top comments that seem transphobic... seems to be the kind of comments that's like 'a trans woman shouldn't compete in women's sports'.

In a way I actually agree with that, because a trans woman, a person who was originally, biologically, male, has developed a different musculature in their life and thus would have an unfair advantage in many competitions against biological women.

See, we are all equal, but our bodies simply aren't.

Mind you, I hadn't even seen the subtitles before, it seems to be off by default in the player here. Now I've turned it on and when I read 'Or compete as a trans woman', it makes more sense to me why there might be a ruckus.

Is that maybe what @al1r4d is referring to?

@2ck Heh, no kidding. Imagine not being able to afford $1.91, you shouldn't be buying this then anyway. :D

@al1r4d Can you be more precise about what's bad about this? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

@Pat Yup, using that kinda fluid to move the temperature between inside and outside. It goes both ways!

@Sphinx If you want I can respond to some of your posts to correct your English now and then, even if it might not have much to do with the contents of your post?

@Sphinx No clue, I don't use those. I've always relied on trying to improve my knowledge manually. English is not my first language.

In fact, I usually turn off spellcheckers whenever I see them, because those red squigly lines distract me. :)
