Most legal systems will require you to prove that the other person had ability, opportunity and intent to cause you actual physical harm, and that you used minimal, necessary and proportional force. Someone recording you in public doesn’t get you anywhere near that.

“Join the webring”

We have so many books, why do we need more?

We have so many paintings, why do we need more?

We have so many movies, why do we need more?

There are always new things to explore creatively. We don’t need more slop. But there are plenty of new things to try.

They’re not upset their country is waging an illegal, genocidal war. They’re just upset the consequences have reached them.

Fascists must have more Lebensraum.

Librewolf has been good for me so far on desktop, Waterfox on Android.

Russia has been a boil on humanity’s ass for much longer than putin has been alive.

The privacy risk is the point. Nothing in this is about pRoTeCtIng ChILdrEn.

Surely a strongly worded tweet will fix this.

Yes, in this case helping was clearly right. All I’m against is the belief that you should always offer help. In many cases (not all, or even most), that just makes you a mark. Though if you personally would rather risk getting taken advantage of than risk denying someone in genuine need help, that’s up to you.

You’re right. In this case, it’s easy to see that helping was the right thing to do. There are many possible scenarios where offering help is good. There are also many situations where offering help makes you a mark, or, in the worst case, threatens the safety of yourself or people you care about. That’s why I say it’s highly situational. Many variables to take into account.

I’ve run into too many scams for this to work for me. It’s highly situational. If I can verify that they genuinely are in need of help, I’m all for it. But if a random person walks up to me and says they need money for a train ticket/gas/whatever? Nope.

Not sure if you mean the Moskva, that one was taken out by anti-ship missiles. But let’s do both, just to be sure?

Oh no! If only there had been some way of predicting this!

Hopefully, so is the cancer.

So much for Slopify.

I agree, he’s likely done everything he could to make sure people don’t figure out a way to get rid of him. I’m definitely not saying he was a passive participant in the phenomenon. He’s been there for a long time now. I’m just saying he’s more of a symptom of the greater cause that is the sick fucking thing called russian culture. Getting rid of putin alone won’t fix things any more than getting rid of trump in the US will there.
