  • Device checking is not a usual thing, especially when you’re far from the frontlines but still, better safe than sorry. I know a friend of a friend had his phone checked and the cop was very confused about seeing a Telegram feed full of communist channels and the guy had to think of some shitty excuse for that. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been taken for further questioning if he wasn’t young enough at the time for the cop to take his word.

    Also don’t expect an airstrike in my city. (At this point)

    VERY dangerous mentality. Drones are cheap, some types of missiles are too. The attacks will target anything that can be hit, e.g. if obvious places are well guarded with AA, then the attacks will switch to anything less important. Also, keep in mind that missiles and drones malfunction, AA guns can shoot them down over your house etc.

    You will know better whether you should be worried about airstrikes later into the war, when the power of both armies will be known to the public. As for now, take this excessively seriously.

    I’m good with filtering news. If I have one skill in life thats it.

    News feeds will get worse with more news coming in and way more fake info than during peace time. Hell, some trusted news sources could turn into awful ones. Brace yourself to discover unmeasurable levels of chauvinism from influencers you’ve never expected to be that violent and hateful.

    Not asking anything, just warning that this will be a shit show and you should brace yourself. Possibly try to avoid anything Indian for a while, because there will be a witch hunt for the first few weeks.

    Drop any attempts to reconvince your non-close friends of anything your state propaganda will say. It will take them a long time to come back to their senses and think for themselves. This is just unproductive, a fight you can’t win. Any propagandist and activist work will be frozen for a while, but you can plan your activities with keeping in mind the fact that it will become possible later.

    Think of security measures. You will have your electronic devices checked by law enforcement from both sides should you meet them. Make your digital footprint neutral while you don’t have to worry about keeping yourself alive yet; you will have little time for it later.

    Prepare a backpack with your most important items like documents, money, first aid etc. and put it somewhere you can grab in the first minute of hearing an alarm warning of an airstrike and go to shelter ASAP.

    Should the full-scale war break out, put SIGNIFICANT effort into filtering out your news sources or else your feed will be full of lies, or it will make you go insane. Emphasis on the latter, the whole war thing hits your brain very hard.

  • That guy (likely your second account) is just posting nonsense. The vote count does not agree with the statement that “people don’t like AI” and once again proves that you are in the very vocal minority group.

    It’s OK to hate AI, though. What is not OK is being so agressive over it, especially when you’re being off topic like in the case you linked.









  • I spent a few minutes looking it up and now I feel bad for laughing at it. Here it is:

    Hitler, Mussolini and Franco were having dinner together.

    Mussolini: “What will your next move be?”

    Hitler: “My plan is to kill six million jews and a clown.”

    Franco: “But why a clown?”

    Hitler turns to Mussolini and says: “See? Nobody cares about the jews.”
