I know everyone has particular things they think are the worst part of war, but stating at a giant flying robot bomb and knowing you have no way to escape or even effectively surrender sounds like hell. Like, how do you tell the operator you want to be taken captive?

The foot soldiers generally don't want to be there. Russia has to use blocking troops to keep them on the front line. You retreat, you get shot by your own guys.

I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn't like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.

That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain't no Speedy Gonzalez.

Lol, I'm just plain amazed at how fast some people can type. I am touch typing, but I guess I just got slow fingers!

You need to use your protests as recruiting grounds for more direct pressure on your government. You should establish or join a lobbying organization and recruit volunteers. You will have these people write letters to the editor, solicit for donations, call and write to your representatives, and schedule in-person meetings with government officials.

Standing on the street and yelling by itself is not enough, you need to become a part of the establishment to affect change, but you can grow your organization by finding people who have proven to be motivated. A protest is a great place for that sort of thing.

If you consider not being able to switch phones at your own leisure an advantage, well… eSIM has that going for it.

Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding...

Entirely ignoring who is at burning man or why, I honestly think there needs to be a line somewhere for sympathy. If you truck yourself out into the desert and things go tits up, well, shit happens. That’s the risk you took.

I say this as a person who used to ride motorcycles, rock climb, and go backpacking. If shit ever went down I wouldn’t have expected any sympathy. I put myself in those risky situations, and there’s just plain gotta be a line for personal responsibility.

With all that being said, when such a massive group of people continuely take the same risk over and over, it’s kinda funny when they finally get bit. It’s the same reason COVID denires getting COVID is funny.
