Why TED talks suck now
  • For as long as I remember TEDx to exist, I hear people complain that ted talks suck now.

    I always ask for example talks, and without fail it was a TEDx talk. And they never know that TEDx talks are very hit or miss in quality.

    "proper" TED talks generally (but of course not always) have good quality (although, I haven't watched any lately. But a couple years ago I watched basically any tech or science related one)

  • ‘Like dealing with cornered rats’: The men who force Ukrainians to the front lines
  • May I (and every other Ukrainian, and every other human) pretty please decide my choices myself?

    That would be the ideal situation, I absolutely agree. I wouldn't want to be in your situation, believe me. Heck, I know a person who was in exactly your situation and he luckily managed to escape right as everything started.

    Drafts are always a problem. Always has been through the history of humanity.

    The thing is: Without boots on the ground, the country will stop to exist. And russia will not stop at ukraine. Any ukrainian person capable of walking and holding a gun will likely be drafted for whatever front will open up next.

    If zelensky is as evil as you are painting him, he would have done a 16+ draft from day 1. But he didn't. Instead he's trying to get the most of what he has and tries to get as much proper supply as he can.

    It doesn’t happen in Russia in a nearly similar scale though

    It kind of does. espeically the forceful drafting. But due to the massive population difference it's not that noticable, especially when you're cleaning up the remote areas of the country first.

    Fragging officers (including “recruitment officers”) is in fact the best thing you can do

    You're not going to frag any recruitement officers due to the lack of any grenades (I highly assume. maybe you stocked up).

    Your first chance will be in training. And there you will likely just hit other draftees that may not be so happy about it.

    Any officers there will be higher target value, but unless it's someone super high ranked, you're also just hitting draftees that would rather be at home

    If you want to hurt the people responsible: if you get drafted and resigned to off yourself, might as well get to the front and take out some occupiers instead of dying by hurting the defending army that doesn't want to exist.

    That’s what people do [...]

    Sounds like it's worth a try.

  • ‘Like dealing with cornered rats’: The men who force Ukrainians to the front lines
  • shit situation, I agree (and seeing as you're aparently one of the potential people targeted).

    The question is: how sure are you that it will be different when russia ultimately conquers ukraine? You're going to be one of the first on the front to russias next war. even before any russian soldiers. With even shittier chances.

    Fragging any officers on ukraine side is not really going to help anyone. Might as well join russia now and speed it up.

    Ultimately a situation that only 1 person is the cause of and 1 person who to end this today.

    Only real possibility for you would be to get out of the country by any means. Even if it means sneaking over the border at night with just a backpack.

  • Ouija spirits, do you think there should be a bot that sets the final answer in the title?

    (I guess this is kind of a meta post?)
