Seems kind of bigoted to think the Russians are incapable of advanced tech warfare imo

Do you equate a nation's military with its majority ethnicity?

Do you like chocolate milk on your cereal?

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've never tried, our local dairy industry tends not to adulterate its products, and chocolate milk tends to be made instead with cheap shelf-stable UHT rubbish.

Are you avoiding my question?

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just asking you an equally as irrelevant and silly question!

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's a yes then. Would you like if I explained the relevance of the question, perhaps with a comparative example that doesn't trigger your automated defense of your, uh, anti-imperialist freedom fighters? Do you think he would be calling the Irish incapable of advanced technology if he noticed that our airforce consists of like 2 Pilatus PC-9s?

Do you put your pants on first or your shirt?

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That very much depends why I took them off, with a complicating factor of temperature. Shower - pants. Bedroom activities - shirt. Warm - shirt. Cold - pants. The relationship between these isn't linear either.

Have you always been a coward about defending your convictions or was it a learned behaviour because of repeated rejections?

Do you often not take the hint that someone isn't interested in having a conversation with you?

I don't owe you anything, especially answers to your stupid ass questions, lmao.

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but only if they've made a clown of themselves by doing something hilarious like calling someone bigoted for having a low opinion of the superpower that can't conquer a few hundred kilometres of its own "border". That's when it's most fun.

You don't owe me anything, correct. You can just stop at any time. Quite symbolic really - rushing in with an offensive because of some imagined slight on the Russian people, crumbling at the first sign of resistance, deflecting for much longer than was necessary and then declaring you didn't really care about it anyway. Remind you of anything?

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sorry that happened to you, or congratulations!

I ain't readin that 👍

If you were on your hexbear account, what image macro would you use to express the emotions that lead you to this point?

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I don't know what hexbear is, let alone have an account. I'll be honest with you I don't even know what an image macro is. I spend most of my time outside when I'm not shit posting here.
