Similar. Åland is predominantly Swedish-speaking (we’re a minority on the mainland), and they have fairly extensive legal autonomy as well.
In practice Åland is also a legally demilitarized zone, though I doubt Russia would give a fuck.
Åland is still a part of Finland, even though they have a certain degree of autonomy.
My pleasure. The great thing about The Guardian especially, besides the fact that they do try to cover the negative sides as well, is that they tend to separate ongoing events into their own pages. You can bookmark only Ukraine and check what has happened recently easily.
Granted, these days it’s mostly whatever bombings Russia has done during the night sprinkled with whatever counter attacks Ukraine manages, but still. In my opinion they’ve been quite quick with the updates when something major has happened. They covered Prigozhin’s road trip to Moscow last year very well, almost minute to minute.
That’s true, I’m sorry.
There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don’t know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don’t know about them anymore either.
Other than that, what’s wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they’re at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.
It’s called fog of war for a reason though, you’re never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.
The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they’re fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it’s not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they’re also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.
On the other hand, it’s pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can’t be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.
Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That’s where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.
For sure, he sounds cool and all. At least you won’t be there either so it’s a win-win kinda scenario anyway.
But anyway keep up the great work- you’re winning hearts and minds for our ‘team’, friend ;)
His attitude is certainly a lot better than yours.
So, you’re doing absolutely nothing except consciously support the rapist fuck who wants to sell out the whole country to Russia? Gotcha.
You can’t be serious.
Mr Inbetween. The 8.7 on imdb is well earned.
This might be hard to believe, but people are dumb as fuck even without the help of anything remotely resembling the current iteration of AI.
That was an interesting read, thank you.
That number doesn’t really tell us anything about the amount of post/content generation that was lost. One or two persons could change the general tone of a smaller sub easily, and often did so.
If only those two hypothetical posters left it could very well lead to a downward spiral into whatever bullshit is going on over there now.
Some of the smaller more specialised subs I frequented simply don’t exist anymore due to what happened.
That’s Microsoft in a nutshell for ya.
He’s the only reason I ever managed to get into any sort of coding at all.
As I understand it it’s simply differing amounts of realism in one’s recall.
I did discuss it briefly with my physician but he more or less shrugged it away as a novelty that can’t be helped. He showed me the chart on Wikipedia and mentioned the lack of information about it in general but also that there might be some overlap with autism.
I have a feeling that it’ll be a while before it can be adequately explained.
Everyone has a plan until a pneumatic metal fist hammers them silly.
I was a decently rated chess player (nationally) in my youth and I have level 5 aphantasia i.e. I see nothing at all.
While I absolutely cannot play or picture game states without a physical board in front of me like most pros can, I had no great difficulty otherwise.
I practiced with a friend at the same general skill level that was very good at playing sans voir, which incidentally is how I realized I don’t have the same mental imagery as him. This was ~25 years ago, and I didn’t run into the word aphantasia until around 2020.
I did already tell you that’s not my aim here. I live somewhere with those concrete policies already, so it can’t be impossible. I simply told you you’re an abhorrent person, nothing else. The general sentiment in this thread seems to be in agreement with me.
This also has the added benefit of wasting your time.
Who’s the one with the lacking reading comprehension, again?
Just because I’m curious: I have chronic sarcoidosis in both lungs, and lifelong asthma. I’ve by some miracle survived 4 years, but at the cost of almost all the stamina I used to have. COVID still circulates around the daycares, youth clubs and workplaces here and I have children.
I don’t have an option to not wear a mask when I leave the room I’ve spent these 4 years in. Does that bother you?
Be honest and tell us you don’t give a shit about the people around you.
Edit: Not surprised at your lack of an answer.
