ChatGPT is that you? Actually ChatGPT could have done this better

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.

What if my Aunty had balls? Would she be my uncle?

TheWoozy ,

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

50/50 at best!

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?

Yoz , to technology in China to limit teenagers’ smartphone use to two hours a day

I am all for it. Ban smartphones and bring back dumbphones.

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”.

tombruzzo , to unitedkingdom in Civil servants cannot wear ‘fetish gear’ to work, minister confirms

Good luck enforcing this. My regular belt is a hobble belt I bought from a fetish gear maker. I’d be in the office technically able to whip out a leather restraint at a moment’s notice.

I hope people in her office start wearing their own freaky gear in solidarity
