You gotta be registered on an instance that allows users to create them, I think Lemmy.world does. Alternatively can ask the admins at your instance (or another one) to make one for you and they might.

Adding on to the other person saying “to be fair”, you gotta sign a waiver when doing nearly anything with any risk: renting a moped, scuba diving, horseback riding, zip lining, any random thing has risks.

The plot thickens! We will be watching his career with great interest.

Love it! Keep it coming

Nice! Checking out KBin is on my to-do list, along with Mastodon and Matrix, going to be a fun weekend, ha.

All I can say is Slavi Ukraine! Stay strong and I hope you persevere.

UK billionaire Hamish Harding, who holds three Guinness World Records and was both in space and in the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench, is one of the people currently on board the Titan.

Yikes, that’ll be some big trouble for them

That’s my fear in this case, and it can be occurring at the surface or down below - not sure which is worse.

Ok, I agree, and I know it’s all Putin’s fault. However:

• He’s backed up by a broad elite and government and many in the populace naively hung ho
• It’s soldierswho pull the trigger daily on missile strikes targeting civilian targets. It doesn’t matter the propaganda for the war to know it’s wrong
• It’s soldiers committing the war crimes, many of them, of rape, torture, threat of killing and more. This was confirmed this past week by a UN report describing it as systemic, broadly consistent and widespread. Soldiers, humans, can and should know better.

I was a soldier in the military long ago. I made a mental note of who around me who would do whatever they were told, no matter how bad it would be (and I asked them directly, not just my guessing) and those like me who would have a limit and decide to say no at some point. It was about 50/50.

Soldiers aren’t robots, even if commanders wish they were. They are humans and should try to be humane and thoughtful. If the war you’re sent to fight doesn’t make any sense, ask questions and demand good answers. If it’s all shit, don’t do it.

And we should always call them out on it, too.

Now they think it? Nice, how about back when they invaded a country who was sitting there peacefully for no f’ing reason?
