Well, during the war ukraine has no choice but to kill the russian soldiers if they want to win.
But I think that ukraine treats POW fairly well and if the war ends they probably wouldnt force them to work in Gulag conditions.

Just because they were soldiers doesnt mean they were nazis. A lot of them were drafted and at the end of the war even teenagers were sent to the frontline because all the other young men were already fighting or dead.
If a soldier was part of the SS or SA, he was a nazi.
It is likely that we humans or our ancestors were responsible for the extinction of most of the megafauna around the world, so we would only be undoing our own damage I guess.
Why not? It might not need to actually hit anyone, just the chance of being hit is probably enough to scare anyone away.
I wouldnt wanna be in a trench or field and suddenly hear gunshots coming from above.
I have not seen one gas station in Germany and surroundings that didnt have it. I have seen truck gas stations that only have diesel though.
We do have some gas stations that just have diesel on a few pumps.
I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.
So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.
If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.
I mean, Ukraine did get a lot of NATO strategy training and the Ukranian military leaders probably also get some access to US spy satelite photos.
But the idea to invade russia and how to execute it was probably still done by Ukranians in Ukraine.
We will never live in an ideal world, we can only approach it.
So, yeah, I wasnt referring to reality.
Change it out for a lack of positive perspective for the future and you might even be right.
Thats maybe why the empty promises work to begin with.
This kind of right wing populism has sadly arrived here in Europe as well. Here in Germany we have the AFD which basically does the same thing.
My mother, her boyfriend and my brother have sadly also fallen into the right wing disinformation trap, it really sucks, its like a thought virus.
At least I still have my other half of the family whith which I can still have some political discussions where everyone enjoys doing it and its more about smaller details and how to turn the theory into practice.
I think it is because having sex is such an inimate thing and as a sex worker you have to do it even with people you are not intimate with and at times when you dont want to be intimate. The sheer number of sex partners probably also doesnt help.
And then there are the assholes who will straight up step over boundaries and directly create trauma.
I live in Germany where sex work legal btw (and I think it should be kept that way).
Comparing the risks to other work is hard, as the risks vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace in each job.
But I would consider doing sex work if I would have to work in a callcenter otherwise lol
In an ideal world people who just want casual sex would find each other. And people who want love as well. In an ideal world everyone would also have someone they are an ideal match to.
The only way I see people getting paid to have sex in an ideal world is if they get paid because their sex is so good, like top athletes.
I thought that people with darker skin dont need it that much compared to people with lighter skin, especially people with really white skin that instantly get sunburn?
RIP sunscreen manufacturers lol
Its funny, Sync (at least on my phone) still shows deleted comments or stuff from banned users, it just shows an icon above the comment, next to the username.
But tbh, I like it that way, because I can now decide if I want to read the comment or not.
Sex work wouldnt exist in an ideal world, as its usually not mentally healthy for the sex worker in the long term.
But since we dont live in an ideal world I would rather legalise it and create laws that protect sex workers instead of criminalising them.
Its the same with all drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol).
It also breaks the flow of the video, which is why I have started skipping them. I noticed just how much nicer videos without any sponsorships are because you dont have to dedicate time to lead into and out of an ad and can continue the video without explaining everything twice.
I also dont see any value gained by me or the creator if I fully watch the 100th squarespace commercial, as I dont get to hear anything new.
But the most egregious videos are where they try to hide that they are transitioning into an ad, like by creating some minute long argument that leads from the topic to the sponsor. Which leads to me not only having wasted my time for the actual ad, but also the transition.
What isnt one today?
With Lemmy you have a selection of echo chambers, so its much more diverse in the end.
Here in Germany Burger King is actually cheaper than McDonald’s, especially when you use coupons, since the ones at Burger King are actually useful.
That isnt without risks itself and it might not have been practically possible in some cases.
Would you desert if your family gets sent to a concentration camp when the army finds out?
