StarkillerX42 , to world in Putin has signed his name on the wrong piece of paper this time

What a shit opinion piece. Every other word is just some attempt at making the piece more inflammatory. The whole article doesn’t say a single useful thing the entire time.

Burn_The_Right , to world in Putin has signed his name on the wrong piece of paper this time

Finally! A feel-good story of hope. Throughout history, conservative leaders like Putin have thrived on oppressing the vulnerable while grifting conservative masses. It’s always a delight to watch them burn.

What if it is truly was an accident?

Papercrane ,

Then still everyone thinks that Putin did it. There is no way to know. I think even the US said that it was an accident

Baphomet_The_Blasphemer ,

The US only said it didn’t have any evidence it was caused by a missile… which should be read as we don’t want to acknowledge our information gathering network has info about this incident so we saw nothing 😉

chaogomu ,

We do know that the civilian radar in the area was jammed 30 seconds before the plane started pinwheeling. And that the plane was pinwheeling, which is most commonly seen in missile strikes.

Latest info suggests it was a bomb set up before the plan took off.

Wootz ,

Then Occam’s Razor has grown dull.

TropicalDingdong ,

Doesn’t really matter if it was or wasn’t. I’m sure no one in Wagner is believing that and their beliefs are what matter here.

Plopp ,

It changes nothing because nobody would believe it.

then Putin shouldn’t have been committing political assassinations for decades

Aurenkin ,

Same thing that happened that time there really was a wolf

scarabic ,

I mean JFK could have been struck by a micrometeorite or very fast moving bee. What if?

squiblet ,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

Same way as it’s surprising how careless enemies of the Russian state tend to be when standing near high windows.

scarabic ,

Yeah I mean really. Fall from window, plane crash, and poisoning seem to be the big assassination methods. They should always be regarded with extra suspicion.

The plane accidentally crashed into an antiaircraft missile. What are the odds?!?

Hirom , (edited ) to news in China helping to arm Russia with helicopters, drones and metals

Tianjin Huarong Aviation, has transferred four Airbus helicopters to Russia since the war began

Whoever sold these European-made helicopters should be worried. Whoever is in charge of sanctions and export control rules in the EU will probably look into this.

Update: Airbus has at least one helicopter factory in China, so these weren’t necessarily manufactured in the EU. Anyway, still not looking good for people involved.

palordrolap , to worldnews in China helping to arm Russia with helicopters, drones and metals

Would those unspecified metals be of good quality or is there a risk they might be the sub-par stuff that is said to be exported by unscrupulous Chinese companies?

mojo , to technology in Elon Musk takes over @x Twitter account without paying owner

He’s an idiot, but there is literally nothing wrong with this. You don’t own a username, and you aren’t entitled to it.

Chozo ,

Well somebody certainly felt entitled to it.

Thurgo ,

It’s probably in his interest to stop pulling dick moves. Sometimes you shouldn’t do things that you are able to do.

mojo ,

He has long list of terrible shit he’s done, but this is literally nothing lol

People acting like he stole someone’s property. He changed the username of some random squatter on his own personal website.

Which also there’s a huge underground communities who hack, trade, and sell these “rare” usernames. So no doubt it was owned by some squatter or someone who obtained it through malicious means.

Haibane ,

So you’re saying rare usernames have a monetary value, but also that it’s perfectly fine for a website to steal these rare usernames because the man-child owner of the site has a weird obsession with a certain letter of the alphabet? And how do you know they obtained it via “malicious means” and not that they weren’t just an early adopter of twitter?

The fact that he’s treating twitter like his “personal website” is part of the problem.

mojo ,

It’s not stealing. He owns the website. It literally is his personal website. Tf are you guys smoking. Usernames are not property. The entitlement here is ridiculous and just objectively wrong.

Haibane ,

And if the person running lemm.ee decided they wanted the coveted "mojo’ username for themself you’d be fine with them just taking it?

Thurgo ,

Have you read the article? Please do not making things up. The original holder of the handle created it 16 years ago.

mojo ,

Where is the part where that matters in the slightest. Still a username on a live service that is subject to change at any time, and there has never been an expectation of ownership.

Thurgo ,

Where is the part where that matters in the slightest.

You are proposing that, in justification of the dick move, this user is “no doubt” squatting or obtained the username maliciously when that isn’t the case based on the third paragraph of the article and other interviews with the original registrant of the handle. I don’t really think that’s a good faith discussion.

Regarding your second sentence, I don’t disagree but at I’m also not trying to make a point beyond my first reply of “sometimes you shouldn’t do things that you are able to do”.

How is it possible that no one behind him is hit?

catloaf ,

Reports are coming in that at least one person was.

AmbiguousProps ,

At least one rally attendee was killed:

Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.

ShadowRam ,

One interview with person at the rally, said there were 3 med-evac's

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

It’s kinda ridiculous, I hate that Islamic countries fail the separation of religion and state test. Education is a great way to change it, and just aiming to make people less religiously inclined.

CoCo_Goldstein ,

Islam was designed to be all encompassing. A separation of religion and state is anathema to Islam.

nifty ,
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Doesn’t matter, and same can be said of any religion. What matters is educating people and making them prefer secular states.

aniki , to world in South Korean opposition wins landslide victory in parliamentary vote

Mr Yoon has been credited by the US for taking bold steps to overcome historical differences with neighbouring Japan to build up trilateral political and military ties and counter China’s growing regional influence and rising threats from North Korea.

In other words, they have been busy doing nothing helpful to anyone and catering to the status quo, just like Washington LOVES.

FluffyPotato , to worldnews in Europe must be ready for US to quit Nato, diplomats warn

It would be smart for Europe to prepare to work together militarily without the US. Politics in the US seem to be insane and unpredictable so it would be good to have a contingency.

andshit , to worldnews in Chinese police set to patrol alongside Hungarian officers

Another example of right wing governments being actual cucks.

Letting another countries officers patrol your land? You bet Orbans gonna be listening in with headphone from his office while jerking himself and crying.

mihies ,

TBH every Israeli sports club comes with armed mossad agents. So it's not something new, perhaps just more public. Also I have no idea about reasoning why they need Chinese policeman, most probably government being paid it something like that. Also that's going on since 2017 in Serbia as well.
