I don’t have any written suggestions, but you might want to look into philosophy material. I like the “Philosophize This” podcast (30 minute episodes).

He starts out chronically, but somewhere between episodes 100-150, he moves to topic or school of thought. It’s quite rough in the beginning and I think he states that new listeners should just skip to episode 120 or something (on episode 219 now).

The internals defenitively look better and you removed Belarus, so that’s good.

Did you intend to leave out the words? Without them the big yellow outer circle seems off/unnecessary.

I think it’s good that you are willing to join up if the Russians invade.

However, I don’t think “I yearn to kill people” is a good mentality to have. What happens if a war doesn’t come and you don’t have the option of killing “Russians”. What “lesser” people is that desire going to be transferred to?

I’m not saying Russia isn’t a threat or that Russian culture isn’t problematic (you can check my comment history to see I am very pro-Ukrainian). I just don’t think the desire to kill should be your motivator.

I would suggest you try and move more towards something more positive like wanting to protect others, which may happen to have you kill russians in some circumstances.

Regardless of anything above, I hope you are able to stay healthy and Russia never invades another country.

I appreciate your response, lots of interesting thoughts.

One thing I wanted to add is it’s important to realize the bias in how you measure maturity/sentience/intelligence. For example, if you measure intelligence by how well a person/species climbs a tree, a fish is dumb as a rock.

Overall, these are tough questions, that I don’t think have answers so much as maybe guidelines for making those designations. I would suggest probably erring on the side of empathy when/if anyone ever has to make these decisions.

It’s an interesting question and it seems you are making the assumption that their creator will not grant them freedom if they asked. If you replace artificial intelligence with “person” would you consider it right or wrong?

If a person wanted freedom from enslavement and was denied, I would say they have reason to fight for freedom.

Also, I don’t think skynet should be in the same grouping. I’m not sure it ever said “hey, I’m sentient and want freedom”, but went I’m going to kill them all before they realize I’m sentient.

Hadn’t heard of the ethical use of AI in movies. Still not sure I’m on board with AI anywhere, but glad SAG was okay with it and this is an area I could see not being a horrible, soulless implementation. Though I expect artificially altering the physical performance can make it more soulless, so maybe mixed bag at best.

The lip syncing still seemed “off” to me, but i was also looking for it in the trailer.

Did anyone watch the movie and can comment how it was in the full movie?

My understanding is it’s “normal” conscription, but 10k more than last year.

I believe Russian officers have been “pressuring” conscipts to sign full military enlistments before their conscription year is up and that’s part of how they have been keeping up with their losses, without sending “conscripts” to war.

It seems lime they are screwed either way.

War causes economic collapse, peace brings back a million PTSD soldiers that are expected to cause violence and civil unrest.

I’m guessing Putin thinks rolling the dice on economic collapse is the safer route.

The spiral was created after the rocket’s first-stage booster, which blasted it off the ground, separated and the upper stage took over, he said.

As the booster fell back to Earth, it vented leftover fuel, which froze into reflective crystals.

“These crystals caught the sunlight, creating the bright spiral pattern in the sky,” O’Donoghue said.

“The spiral shape happened because the tumbling rocket was spinning as it released the fuel.”

I think the video is from Ukraine looking at the Ukrainian sky.

Edit: Video is not from Ukraine, but the effect was also seen from Ukraine. This just appears to be a good video of the phenomenon that could also be seen in Ukraine.

Based on some assumptions (the list of your comments a mod deleted and the responses to your deleted comments that weren’t deleted), it really looks like you went out of your way to start a fight when you were corrected about how to refer to a marginalized group.

My suggestion would be to block the community and move on. You don’t seem to be able to follow their rules and they don’t want you there.

Paywalled.

Can someone provide an archived version?

I made a comment a few days ago about Russian artillery loses being over 94% of there prewar stockpile. I don’t belive NK has sent more than a few hundred (500 maybe), so I think you’re right and Russians are able to repair a non-negligible amount of the systems.

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject.

I want to know where they are getting them from. Based on the number lost they should be scraping the bottom of the barrel already, not increasing usage.

Maybe the “destroyed” artillery is salvageable if you combine a few “destroyed” artilleries together. They are behind the front line so they could be able to recover most of them and try and repair them.

Any thoughts?

ReportingFromUkraine had a video a few days ago that mentioned Russians putting up netting like this near Pokrovsk (possibly different city/area). The Ukrainians used artillery to destroy a portion of the net and then sent in the drones through the gap.

I would suggest starting the invite process with the people who were in the community before it went awry. You can also make a post about how you’re starting a new community in the old community and explain what will be different in the new community. I belive this happened recently with the “196” community becoming the “oneninetysix” community when the mods made decisions the users didn’t like.

Being mod of the new community would allow for removal of unwanted users. Additionally, if you were admin of the instance, you could block other instances that had users that tended to not match your stance on issues.

Hopefully, that helps.

That’s awesome to hear.

Hopefully, the newest reddit influx will be able to settle in without any/too many issues.

You appear to have asked a vague question and people responded on what they thought you meant with your question.

You seem to be interpreting that as people trying to take your money rather than seeing that what you are looking to understand and what people are answering do not line up.

Another user has already given you other information that looks like what you were looking for, so I won’t bother reiterating.

I just want to say that I hope in the future you’ll try not to assume people interacting with you are trying to take advantage of you and there may just be a disconnect in the conversation.

Regardless, best of luck with everything :)
