But some people will be a bit turned off by murder so it probably evens out.

What do you mean? You think it should be lower or higher because of the killings?

You’re right, I was wrong by 20%. His support is around 50% and he’s pushing it to 70%. Does this mean he’s not supported by general public? 40-50% is as much as any government gets really.

WTF? Whataboutism would be if you said “Russians killed Ukrainian children” and I replied with “But what about Russian children!”. I said “yes, children are innocent, ESPECIALLY Ukrainian children”. I’m playing especialism you dufus.

I think you don’t know what playing with the wording means.

Because he needs to pretend support for him is absolute while in reality only vast majority supports him. Because he cannot allow any opposition to grow in Russia in case he makes a mistake, like he did with Ukraine. Because if there’s any sign of weakness even his allies will turn against him in a heartbeat.

He’s tampering with elections to move it from 70-80% to 100%, not to move it from 10% to 100%. It’s lower since the war didn’t go as planned but most Russians supported Putin and his war.

I get what you’re doing, trying to play around the wording.

No, I’m agreeing with you while taking the opportunity to remind everyone what absolute scum Russians are.

no one is apologizing for what the Russian military is doing.

Exactly. Someone should apologize.

And I also see what you’re doing, putting all the blame on the military like Putin was not generally loved in Russia before the war. Russian are pissed only because now they also have to die. If Putin only murdered Ukrainians they would still happily support him and his war.

You’re right, especially the Ukrainian children kidnapped and held in Russia.

So fire them into Russia. Problem solved.

Oh no! Please, don’t deprive me of your wisdoms! Tell me more about The Electoral College!

No, you don’t understand that Biden is president and Hilary wasn’t. Everything else is just some meaningless BS.

And Biden got 7 million more votes. That’s his achievement. He not only ‘would have won if not for the rigged system’ but actually won. You see the difference?

Well, she didn’t win enough.

translation: his greatest achievement has been not being Trump

No, the achievement was actually winning the election. Unlike Hilary for example.

Fun fact: in most countries in the world breaking and entering is not a life or death situation for the cops. Cop shows in Europe are really boring. Cops show up, ask questions, figure out what happen and arrest someone (or not). How insane is that?

Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over you shooting me. Can you repeat?

Wow, I have no idea what copilot is and why would you want to hide the desktop. It used to be you had ‘show desktop’ button on the task bar. I guess I’ve been happily using Linux for too long.

What’s wrong with clevo rebrands?

Yet the example of the sim you posted (the exact type I had in mind) is from police training. This is exactly what I was talking about: police using military style training and using it in way that desensitizes officers.

I’m not saying the training is exactly the same as in military, I’m not saying it’s as common. I’m saying that cops are trigger happy (as in the original article) because of this type of training. In many countries police are trained to shoot only as a last resort (or don’t even carry guns). IDK, maybe it’s different in US but most people have natural blockades preventing them from shooting others. That it’s so easy for US cops to shoot at people for me means that they are trained to do it. All the effort that goes into this type of training should go into de-escalation training instead.

So in military you don’t train by shooting at human shaped targets? You’re not trained to shoot quickly at pop-up targets? You don’t have hand-to-hand combat training? What do you think it’s all for? Self control? BS.

Police does the same. They often run simulation after simulation in which they have to fire quickly at simulated people. It all serves the same purpose: remove the natural mental blockades people have that stop them from killing other people. Is desensitize them.

No need to get triggered. I’m not saying cops are trained as well as soldiers. Just that they often use the same techniques.
