Russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns use words having completely different meanings in Russia and to the audience in developed countries, and I think this is being done on purpose.

@kravietz
Russians from poorer regions die in this was just as Buryats do — with nothing to gain from it. Whose fault is that is a different question.
Just as US conservatives seem to believe that Pooteen claiming Russia having "traditional" society implies that being male means having some privileges, and they don't seem to realise that you can't… e.g. have divorce rates like that in any traditional society (in their sense).

@kravietz
I'm against using it not because I want to present Russians as victims, but because it doesn't describe the true nature of what's going on, once you start using anti-colonial vocabulary familiar to the western audience, their line of thinking falls into that groove that it can't get out of: they start thinking that being Russian means being privileged, as if Chechens or Buryats fight in this was for their Russian masters — but it's not even remotely like that.

@kravietz
That is precisely why I've been telling you that you should never let them apply anti-colonial agenda to Russia as is — they don't seem to realise that "priviledged" Russian man is just as disenfranchised in his own country as any member of a minority — unless he's a cop or a government official. Yep, there are ethnic minorities in Russia — and yes, their culture is often being erased, but this doesn't mean that most Russians ever benefited from it as serfdom pre-dates all that.

I think he wanted to note that people should distinguish tactical missiles from e.g. ICBMs, for tactical missiles ATACMS indeed have long range, but by range class they still are SRBMs — short-range ballistic missiles 🤷

I'm not against having this built-in by any means, but check out this CSS file: https://m0xEE.Net/pub/night.css
It dims all images except the ones you hover your cursor over. You can alter it to suit your needs and inject it into CSS of your instance with uBO.

No, that's against our traditional values! Using Tarot card reading would've been perfect! 😏

Oh… Yep, I remember the term back from the days when Guido van Rossum was appointed as one (and didn't mind much), I suppose much of this theory didn't exist at the time (yet).
Thanks for the link, I'll look into it!

Oh! This instance uses a fork of old version of Masto, it didn't support editing posts at the time 😅
Thanks for the update!

Which timezone, is it EET?

@smallcircles @pixelcode
Is it such a common term these days? I'm of course familiar with it, but in abbreviated form it still confused me, I even had to look it up 😅

@napocornejo
Of course it isn't, it's more of a nuclear blackmail device than a doctrine.
If you read it in expanded form, it's already pretty vague — theoretically, they wouldn't even have to change it to go through with all their threats, they bring it up for the sole purpose — making the news.
Have they had more artistic taste, they would be bringing something like doomsday clock up, but alas — and instead we have this facade of bureaucratic bullshit 🤷

Unusual fur coat indeed! That's not it, but kinda resembles me that of a Lykoi cat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi 😸
