  • No idea.

    Pretty sure Davel is just a mod, so that’d be a “no”, but again, “no idea” is my more reliable answer.

    I did downvote several of his comments, but not like “spam downvoted”, but from honest disagreement. Not my fault everything he writes is bullshit. So after I downvoted a few comments while replying to him, he replied "oh see, here on ‘whatevercommunity’ we ban people who downvote others for no reason’, as if I had no reason.

    They’re just extremely silly and see through and you ought to question everyone on Lemmy about it. Because while opensource open platforms are great, they’re also super easy to infiltrate.





  • To be fair, at least the guy actually performing is possibly ‘one of the good ones’, along with a bunch of other members of the orchestra, insofar that 1) they’re not fighting, they’re singing, and to do that you got to apply to the musical company in the military and 2) they’re singing western music, and they probably listen to quite a lot more than they’re singing.

    Idk they may have actually bought the propaganda, who knows, but like if you’re just wanting to do conscription as it’s kinda hard to avoid, going to the music companies would allow you to avoid actual fighting usually and western music historically was listened to by progressives in Russia.

    But like yeah, it is funny. Especially those old guys in the back.


  • Some are super easy to spot yeah, others less so. And seeing how they obviously wish to pretend they’re something they’re not, you can’t assume you can “always” identify them.

    That’s kinda like saying “I can always tell a trans person”, just because you don’t notice a person being trans when they are passing.

    Whenever I’m suspicious, I like to just ask people to confirm that Putler has an ICC warrant out for him for his war crimes. Their reaction to that is often very telling, but sometimes they’ll go with something like “well, Putin, like all world leaders are inherently blablablabla”, sort of faking out admitting to Putler’s bullshit while similarly not criticising him personally, but also pushing ideology that is not opposed to Russian goals (ie basic whataboutism)…




  • I myself eat venison, moose and reindeer. Sometimes horse when it’s off-season for hunting, but that’s kinda janky as it’s not really game, but the incentives for “farming” horses don’t really exist so…

    Anyway, my local butcher’s has some frozen 'roo. I’ve had some on a pizza when drunk once, but don’t really recall it that well for my BAC was kinda high. I do remember feeling a tad absurd eating a pizza with kangaroo on it while a guy rode past on a unicycle. I’m not imagining that, although I may have also been high at the time.

    Anyway, my point is how’d you compare 'roo to beef in texture and taste?

    I hated lamb for instance (and generally don’t buy it because the morality is horrible, just had a chance to taste and didn’t like). Venison, moose, reindeer, horse, all awesome. Reindeer most gamy, moose second, then venison and horse on a pretty similar level. All really lean usually.





  • No cloth can protect you from strong wind.

    lots of layers and the outermost as leather, is my go-to. But yeah, wind is a bitch. I live in SW Finland, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, at the sort of “outernmost” part of continental Finland in the part where the Baltic Sea makes that sort of Y-shape.

    If you just go 50-100 km inland, the weather is way different. You get nice calm winters. Here? It’s wet and freezing all the time in the winter, with winds raping your face. It’s like tiny ice crystals sand blowing your face. I won’t have a single bit of skin exposed when I bike to the store in the winter. Sometimes maybe a part of my face depending on how bad the goggles fog up depeding on the scarf(ves) I’m wearing.

    But if I had like 5000e to spend on outdoors gear, none of that would remotely be an issue.

    The saying is basically from my army days. As a Finn, we have conscription, so pretty much all males go (and quite a decent part of females as well) [and I’m using “male” and “female” and not “man” and “woman” because that’s how the goverment would look at it despite your personal gender identity]. And learning the proper way to gear up is a large part of the military service in Finland.

    One night I spent in -40 outside (no need for F or C they converge at that temp). One night I spent sleeping in a tent that I wouldve drowned in had I slept face down. Shit like that. Although you can’t really do anything when there’s just too much water. Multiple layers and keeping dry is key.

    But yeah tldr I prefer a leather outerlayer. Proper leather jacket will keep the wind out. Although usually they’re not designed to cover all of you, so you’ll need good gloves, scarf, and something to counter the wind through the zipper.

    I mean our wind speeds are not like in America I don’t think The record gust recorded in my local area is 41.6 m/s (approximately 93 mph) I think. But dammit my windows used to bang like crazy when I lived some 100m above sea level in a place from which I could literally see the harbor in Turku. And the people who owned it were cheap cunts who didn’t remodel it after I moved out. (I had a thermometer in my kitchen which topped out at 50C and it hit the top. I had candles in my kitchen melt. and they weren’t in direct sunlight.)
