So… what you’re saying is, during an actual ongoing war, any civilian causalities should be used as a pretext to continue the war that is resulting in civilian causalities?
Makes perfect sense.

All the more reason to move forward with peace talks, right?
The longer shit goes on, the most desperate things get, the more accidental and intention targeting of civilians becomes for both countries.
Weird way to allow the Russian courts to make new legal precedents.
The Israeli military should stop using Israeli citizens as human shields then.
Find some place… as an example, hexbear’s instance has c/slop… to drop a link to the offending user’s comment or post and whatever happens… happens.
You’ve got the option of Reporting the post/comment to the moderators. Which will require you knowing the moderation rules of the community in question to take advantage of.
Short bullet point/talking point responses. Replies with things like, “This is racist/sexist/genocide denial/etc”, then disengage. You don’t need to get into a long drawn out comment war/debat bro situation.
Make fun of them for being a goober.
Depends on the store.
Your non chain store that has a loyalty program, probably doesn’t have the interest or capital to pay some third party to manage the data collection and analysis to try to direct market things to you.
Worked at a co-op grocery store for a while. The “owners” could use their owner number to keep track of their purchases to count towards their patronage refund amount and it also allowed some limited ability to look at full transaction information to deal with misrings, returns without recipts, etc. in the decade that I worked there, there was no effort or interest (even though the people running the coop at the highest level were definitely “business goober” types) to try to use the info for direct marketing or to sell to a data broker.
Second paragraph…
A former top U.S. commander and a senior [defense] analyst with deep ties to Ukraine both say no one should be quick to draw hasty conclusions from the events of the past two weeks.
heh.
In his nightly address on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country’s daring military incursion aims to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow across the border.
If you can’t keep your own territory, you’re not actually creating a buffer zone.
The first assumption demolished by this operation was that Ukraine wouldn’t be able to regain the initiative until next year.
Huh? Ukraine is currently in a holding position within its own country, throwing a bunch of troops at a bunch of small towns in Russia and claiming it as a strategic victory is right up there with the US military in Afghanistan parking a platoon of grunts in an empty house every 20 miles and coloring in the map of Afghanistan with the “secured” color on their PowerPoint presentations.
Some observers have speculated that Ukraine was trying to draw Russian troops away from the Donbas to relieve pressure on its forces there.
This is a reasonable assessment of the Ukraine gamble…
If that was the case, Karber said, the gamble “really hasn’t paid off” and he fears the Ukrainians will soon face a determined counterattack on one or both of the shoulders of the salient.
… and Ukraine seems to have lost their bet.
“I think that it’s been clear for some time that Russia does not have the ability to knock Ukraine out of the war as long as the West continues to provide even the modest amounts that we are providing now.”
Or we can phrase it slightly differently as, “to the last Ukranian.”
“It seems like they’re just trying to do more and more of the same, and certainly they will have lost thousands of experienced troops and leaders that are now being replaced by those who are not as well trained or experienced. Where is the bottom of that barrel for Russia?”
Where is the bottom of the barrel for Ukraine? So long as open warfare is happening, untrained troops are going to have “opportunities” to get experience. Until there aren’t any more bodies to throw into the meat grinder, nobody is going to see the bottom of the barrel.

It would instantly de-fed from all the cool people, all the shitty leminitors probably would be reabsorbed back into fed-Reddit and those Reddit clone lemmy comms would die.
“Anti-slave owner posting is back on the menu comrades!”
blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.
Or… you know… at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

I actually had that in the first draft of this comment but removed it for the less salacious “Track and Field”.
All they know is Foxy Boxing, Powderpuff Football, Women’s Track and Field, eat hot chip, and lie about gender.
Does it count if I’ve actually driven tanks?
Hmm… who was killed? Oh… it was four Palestinians.
Why did they have to “burst” into a warehouse? Oh… the doors were closed and people with guns where trying to keep the Palestinians from being able to get something to eat as they are being intentionally starved by the Israeli government.
Hordes of Palestininans being intentionally starved
Incorrect, more food aid being sent isn’t going to be able to get through the Israeli state’s ability to restrict the flow for the purpses of genociding the Palestinians.
