 Ukrainian Conflict 2022

Room for discussing the conflict in Ukraine.
10:53 PM
Reminds me of trouble naming *"Abuse"* ("war") in general? "In a striking moment of candor, Mr. Putin’s closest foreign ally, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, the ruler of neighboring Belarus, called the fighting a war — a term forbidden in Russia — and acknowledged that it was not going well for Russia. “I feel like this operation has dragged on,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press."

I never drink alcohol because I can not stand the effect, I much prefer cannabis personally, though right now I am just nicotine so, straight and sober grammar, for what it's worth.
 
Mon 12:26 AM
Arg. I write like I speak, and I like the letter E, so I'm not that author you just mentioned.
 
Mon 12:24 AM
@M.A.R. Well that was another separate question, I was going one thought at a time. :)
 
Mon 12:24 AM
@Robusto I am very good at expressions, I know many, I got that one too. So again, I am saying you sound rattled, while I never said that I was that word...
 
Mon 12:21 AM
@Robusto Did you read the citations I gave? I answered your question, trying not to repeat myself. I am not rattled, ironically people reading feel rattled, I did not say anything to that effect.
 
Mon 12:18 AM
@Robusto Still on page 1 of chat.stackexchange.com/users/16272/…, search logs (for words "school", and "American") at chat.stackexchange.com/… for example, find chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/84170?m=47079107#47079107 and chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/26?m=60858669#60858669, I repeated before, just still thinking what keywords to search our chat logs...
 
Mon 12:14 AM
@Robusto I've repeated an answer to your question multiple times, I do not even write that much, check my/our chat logs. :∫
 
Mon 12:13 AM
@Robusto Well, how can people learn to read me if I talk and get judged before I can finish talking and explaining, sadly, a lot of heat comes before understanding when it comes to grammar grading...
 
Mon 12:11 AM
@Robusto Well now you know why I'm quiet, I wait for people who are better at reading me. :∫
 
Mon 12:08 AM
@Robusto I am quiet definitely (ever since I was young, silent alot), somewhat a precaution: Lots of heavy-hammer-handed grammar judgement....
 
Mon 12:07 AM
@Robusto I've definitely spoken here before, check logs. :)

Painful.

Otherwise there should be equal revulsion/repulsion for suggestive Selfies, according to the law.
 
Sun 1:20 AM
Sis, I mean, that's the problem, there is a severe discrepency in the lack of representation of such viewership.
 
Sun 1:18 AM
Representation for porn stars in parliment/congress does not reflect well-measured viewership. Not to mention in terms of role models, what happens to the kids who watch these adults pretend to not see. (Bothers me, how half the NYT/CNN articles I read show what appear to be softcore model poses, at the top before the writing. There should be studies of overt human poses per article type, and transparency for how the Google News App looks like a porn site showing content with pics before words.)

I still wonder what "Comparative Analysis" (is that the related academic superset/language?) efforts, I mean ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/… "for Dummies" would be smart. I mean, I read about lexisnexis.com/en-us/rule-of-law/default.page & LexisNexisROLFoundation.org, sadly it's a very young idea. Maybe helpful if to take it seriously, we need open international ~WikiDataLaw localization...
 
Apr 28 1:09 PM
@Nzall Hmm. Thank you. Mind you, I do not know if that would qualify as an official question, but if there was a well-policied Stupidity Calculator/Stupidity Translator, you'd be the calculated intelligent answer. (How renice, signaling what a quality question indicator means, how Quora.com/… passed on Quora not SE StackExchange.com/search?q=canada+%22first+amendment%22 oh, how predictable..)
 
Apr 27 6:46 PM
Analogies make morons... Fair, but being smartfounded is, well, my first try often sucks, education is a scarcity. I mean why not evaluate why these equivalences matter as spoken, dreaded as stooping to that level is, I generally relate on that level, honestly, id like2compare "First Amendments". (I just think it would be a good common excercise to compare US -> CA law, er US -> China law, map every analogy. [Which would predictably scare the lawyers to say there are not any good analogies...?])
 
Apr 27 6:03 PM
Some Canadian friends talked to me about American President Obama being their leader, or wishing as their pres, more than some American friends... wow ctvnews.ca/… brings back memories for me. (Well, then again Canadian President Harper was not popular then in Montreal, Quebec—So maybe I was consorting with traitors. =)
 
Apr 27 6:03 PM
@Fredy31 I respect a first amendment rights in non-American countryanalogy. :∫ While funny to think about first amendment rights in Canada as dumbfounded—I agree it's not the correct association—but it makes (a common Freudian-Legal slip of) sense. If only there was a supremacism/sensationalism translator (turning clickbaity headlines and attacks into bores). I mean, ideally, we wish foreigners to identify w/ US Legal Code too, besides the fact so many countries take US Law into account.

@FaheemMitha I appreciate the question, or I appreciated your line of inquiry. Interesting. Good to think about.
 
Apr 10 6:19 PM
I wonder, if in some way, how many global names you know, might be as important as how many languages you speak, in terms of being well-rounded, or whatever that level means. Another level of vocabulary, I do not know though.
 
Apr 10 6:04 PM
I will stop my Stream-of-Consciousness nationalities identification then. I know who run the tech companies, I will do better with that list, I promise.
 
Apr 10 5:56 PM
Oh okay, I got that Gandi then, I thought SA visit maybe, good. Next on my list is Akon the rapper starting a Bitcoin city in Africa but that's giving away how I read. I remember reading about Obama going to Africa before and after presidency, but I'm with you, it's not in my news feed as much as Musk and Zuck, not because I necessarily try but, that's the feed...
 
Apr 10 5:51 PM
@FaheemMitha I wish the US actually integrated with the International Criminal Court and United Nations, funding instead of competing. I mean I appreciate US law being a basis for int law, but I believe America is fallible, even we need the ICC... I am better talking about Ubuntu though, maybe.
 
Apr 10 5:49 PM
Gandhi is great, if only my mind recognized which continent first.
 
Apr 10 5:48 PM
Definitely why I judged myself, there has to be a better example in mind. Terrible would be admitting I thought Gandhi next, sigh.
 
Apr 10 5:44 PM
@FaheemMitha Lord, good point, I could have said Jacob Zuma before Kofi Annan but I judged myself first.
 
Apr 10 5:41 PM
@FaheemMitha I hope Ghana is in Africa but my American education...
 
Apr 10 5:38 PM
@FaheemMitha "Ubuntu"? O:)
 
Apr 10 5:38 PM
Well, I can name African-Americans but not Africans so I'm stuck there partially too, American education, still very nationalistic not internationalistic role models. :∫
 
Apr 10 5:33 PM
I only remember names when they're screen names, so I have another problem...
 
Apr 10 5:32 PM
@FaheemMitha Informal analogy, please forgive the stretch of logic, just trying to place markers on the idea. They're really their own "universes", I agree, if only there were Q&A spec templates from W3.org... sorry, dreaming again.
 
Apr 10 5:28 PM
@FaheemMitha Ubuntu vs Slackware, is StackExchange versus Quora, in my reference point. But that's not the best analogy, I wanted to just express the paradigm.
 
Apr 10 5:28 PM
@FaheemMitha Born in US, American schools, raised by text chatting.
 
Apr 10 5:24 PM
@FaheemMitha Sorry, I was biased there. I actually agree, the hegemonic polarization is inculcating into (un)just pejorativization. I'm giving away I'm an American citizen, and I'm not even trying. I meant to stay neutral with the Ubuntu vs. Slackware continuum, again, sorry, that variable was too political.
 
Apr 10 5:17 PM
@FaheemMitha Oh, I agree, SE and Quora are their own countries. SE is a democrac.... well almost... Quora is Russia maybe, but I'm biased...
 
Apr 10 5:17 PM
@FaheemMitha Stupid me, reading names for identity markers, stupidly thinking your names sounded the same, my slip only, not related to you. >:(
 
Apr 10 5:00 PM
@FaheemMitha I want to use Ubuntu and Red Hat or SUSE, not Gentoo and Slackware for my questions and answers ...or I mean, SE/Quora are the FB of Q&A, nothing can compete (well, maybe regulation can compete, in 100 years...).
 
Apr 10 4:57 PM
Oh my, I am confusing you with Vikas and I am only reading your names and typing text. Lord, forgive me. Your text does not sound or look the same, so something psychological for me maybe, eek.
 
Apr 10 4:52 PM
I read you (among others) in the English room (the most active room on SE) we're around the same hours sometimes, I just can't go fast enough for the English room, Mitch types so well I can not compete. :)
 
Apr 10 4:52 PM
Funny maybe but as an aside, I almost never say the word in my name "c__text" it's just in my name... <3
 
Apr 10 4:50 PM
@FaheemMitha Strikethrough syntax to symbolically not show the sound effect for the reply notification?
 
Apr 10 4:45 PM
~~:60858398~~ (Me strikethroughing the reply function string, in your honor :) Yet SE is lightyears ahead of the chat specifications of FB. Web feature/regulation discussion is in its infancy so far, we don't even agree on basic terminology yet, literacy to even know what's an Edit Time. (If only SE was as open source as RMS tho, hmm... I wish SE had more representation, seriously, more editors, more coders, an open source community to help grow SE leadership as a non-profit... Sorry, dreaming.)
 
Apr 10 4:33 PM
@FaheemMitha That's all I'd ask for. Not to digress, but I wonder ("theoretically") if longer talk times (I mean, like, Reddit has only 6 month thread time limit, how is that enough time for world peace?) would help some topics of conversation.
 
Apr 10 4:23 PM
@FaheemMitha @FaheemMitha Oh (darn again, why did I not use the reply_arrow), that was just a reply to chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/60857306#60857306 ...that's why in my writing for that part, I changed to parenthesis, as you said parenthetically too, in said chat entry. I mean, you were talking about missing the duplicate entry, correct, when you wrote "(Sorry,"? I think you were apologizing for your grammar in a sense, missing the repeat links/repeat words in first proof.
