@ropirito Is this a test for russian "barrier troops"?

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@intermarium24 Looks just like Romanian slana.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@rshereme Nobody actually believes it. By and large, people are not as stupid as they pretend to be.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@RpsAgainstTrump Are you daring a Democrat to actually do something useful?

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@AZ_Brittney SCOTUS itself just gave Biden an expedited procedure for that.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@les_schofield @secretsqrl123 Good.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@albafella1 But stop calling them Orcs. It's an insult to the concept of an Orc. You already call them russian, which is the lowest insult possible. Further insults are not required.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@rshereme You miss the most likely possibility, that they are simply evil. People are rarely as stupid as they pretend to be. And people are what they do, not what the pretend to believe or even what they really believe, but what they do.

@RNCResearch Did he shit himself up there?

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@reshetz I live in Bucharest, and since 24 Feb 2022, all of the contrails in the sky are parallel, on a NW-SE axis. Nobody flies on the NE-SW axis. You can just look up see it most of the time.

@lcamtuf "Yeah, there was this thing called IRC. It was kind of like Slack, except it was completely free and easier to navigate."

@levwalkin With vehicles of any type, anything that is fun is probably also dangerous.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@DStephenVoss @Mr_FrazierKY There is a big difference between protests here in Romania and those in the US. When Romanians take to the streets, they do so with a narrow focus and specific, actionable demands. This allows serious people ("grownups") to take them seriously and even participate.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@RayRedacted Many people do not know the difference "impossible" and "really difficult".

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@sarah_michels13 A serious question: What does it mean to "protest in solidarity"? Are they demanding something specific, something that the university can actually do?

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@VolodyaTretyak It obviously says "I wish I could be raping someone right now, for the glory of the Motherland."

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@ijerkov Only having half a kneecap on one side.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@DStephenVoss @K_NoiseWaterMD The failure to make such distinctions is a deliberate disinformation tactic that seems to be common to both sides of this conflict.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@tnt @CDonzelot The first word to mind was "abomination", but @laf0rge nailed it already.

[David Burgess @dburgess00]

@evacide Agreed, because, as you already point out, the services of the platform are up for sale anyway, allowing foreign actors, possibly through front companies or cut-out users, to buy information and post content. Present-day Facebook is an example.
