It's a bit funny how similar #ChatGPT and humans are. First reaction (in presence of limited "brain-" power) is to start guessing. But when asked not to guess, it figures things out.

@LALegault I think we agree on most points, except that I don't think that you have to be a fan of a country to respect their right to wage defensive war.

Re: adult population, for instance, I think we agree as well, highlighting my toot:

> Majority of *****the adult***** population of palestine has voted for #hamas and celebrated the Oct 7th massacre.

Damn, I think that perl8 dot com got sold? This was the easiest way I knew how to get to the official website of #scala.

@LALegault haha you seem to think that Bibi is older than he is 🤣

We're filling the clock dial.

Gotta love walking past #UCL. Never gets old.

I'm a bit confused, @bmann, why are you following this person.

@richlv holy smokes! I didn't even notice that we've come full circle! I forgot your initial suggestion and said "shitheads" because that's what you describe. So yeah, it seems not just feasible, but perhaps a **correct** way to denote that kind of people!

@mxhdroom sorry for tagging you so much, but yeah, it's very easy to say "oh, it was a hostile takeover of the country by hamas". But yeah, no.

If you are retooting stuff like this toot by @chiefgyk3d, you should be aware that

@kirill sorry for a bit of a tangled text. The premise is that "kremlin was treating all of the opposition mass media in russia the same way, thus applied the same strategies to all of those (admittedly, lenta was taken over, novaya gazeta has suffered a series of physical removals, so the tactics are clearly varied, but as far as modern tactics go, I think it's safe to assume that they are roughly uniform). Thus, looking at analogous situations in other big russian mass media could shine some light on the situation you report on. So yeah, that's why I'm talking mostly about meduza there. :)

@kirill ето сложний вопрос. Я питался думать про єто на прім'ере Дождя, которий в какой-то момент стал overtly pro-kremlin по крайней мере в несколькіх своїх акторах. В прінціп'е, у меня есть неплохая подборка статей медузи, где чувствуется что у ніх работает как мінімум на какіх-то постах проросійские сотруднікі.

Прі єтом, когда я обсуждаю еті вещі с другімі експертамі по росії, ми сходімся на том, что у медузи также есть очень сильний антіросійский (антікремлевскій) стержень.

Подводя черту:

Текущая гіпотеза в том, что ето комплексний еффект, визванний как некомпетентностью и ленью сотрудніков, так и осознанной работой руководіителей отдельних департаментов і проектов по сотруднічеству с кремлем. Ні на секунду не сомневаюсь что в Новой Газете такая же фігня.

@LALegault whose democratically elect government, then turned autocracy, is at war which it started on Saturday, October 7th.

This shouldn't have to be said. Majority of the adult population of palestine has voted for #hamas and celebrated the Oct 7th massacre.

See, when #russian cities get bombed in shaping operations or airport hits, we all remember that russians are people too, but we also understand that the needs of defensive war warrant a military response. Obviously strikes like the #Rafah one you reported about are unacceptable and condemnable, but it has nothing to do with palestinians being "people too", and everything to do with the norms and traditions of waging war, where civilians have to have a safe humanitarian corridor to evacuate, which Israel seems to be failing to provide.
