lot of it has been smartasses that seeming only care about broadcasting their opinion

Honestly, I have not really experienced that much at all. Sure there is the odd case of it but blocking the odd user or sub seems to fix that pretty well.

It may well be that your instance is federated with some of the problem ones and mine is not but I haven’t really paid much attention to the federated/defederated stuff.

I have seen several posts of people complaining about the users of a periarticular instance (there are a few recurring ones) but I haven;t a seen it despite spending a bit of time browsing /all.

Sometimes, a spelling mistake can be strangely insightful.

Question for the questioner:

if some group started operations on the Russian troops

What group are you talking about?

Hint: No one in NATO wants anything in Russia.

Also repetitive.

Before entering the sub you could usually predict the top half dozen joke replies, every-time.

Most commentators there are playing to the gallery rather than answering the questions. The size of the question subs actually makes it harder to get a good answer.

The best karma return per comment is not to craft a lengthy, thoughtful reply but to fire of a snappy one liner as fast as possible.

What I have written is also not inciteful or original. It has been well know for a long time and is pretty much a factor of sub size and the demographic spread of the user base (which skews young, cis, male and american).

This reads like my first troll account

No. The straw man was yours, not mine.

Some variation of the below:

Can I have your phone with the messaging apps unlocked?

Can I log into your personal email?

Can I see your tax returns?

Can I set up cameras and microphones in your house?

Can I place a GPS tracker on your car?

Mainly because there is no such thing as self made anything. We all live in a society, no one outside hunter gathers are self made.

A self made rich person did not pass the laws that allowed them to amass wealth.

A self made rich person did not educate themselves.

A self made rich person did not enforce the laws stopping other people from taking their shit.

A self made rich person did not diagnose and treat their health issues to allow them to be healthy.

A self made rich person did not grow the food that allowed them to work on something other than their own survival.

Ship based lasers are also in use as prototypes by the US.

Lasers will always be in the prototype stage as they have been since the days of the Reagan administration
40+ years ago.

Their use in SF movies are far, far from reality.

The simple measure measure of covering a drove in mylar reflects 90% of the incoming radiation, meaning your system now needs to be 10 times more powerful to be effective.

Those that can…do. Those that can’t…criticise those that can.

That is the link you posted.

It is going via google and allows tracking of everyone who clicks it.

About 50 cargo ships pass through the red sea every day. Is there enough naval vessels to escort each one?

IIRC A carrier strike group has about 10 ships…

The ones I use were made locally, from cotton produced in this country so the threshold is way lower than 400.

To go one step further, make them yourself out of old cotton clothing.

I have been using the same two cotton bags for 15 plus years. By my count that is at least 4,000 single use bags that have not been used.

The best time to plant a tree start using non-plastic bags is twenty years ago.

The second best time is today.

Pretty much yes.

If a friend/partner promises to change their behaviour or do something specific and does not? Yep, that is a lie.

You will always have issues with these sort of crossovers. Mixing characters from two different universes never really works as the rule sets always have conflicts.

You may as well ask if a Jedi would be able to resist turning into a Borg.
