Watermelon catapult fail

(Tagging and spoilering to stick to thread rules but I think most of us would have seen this before - Great Race contestant gets struck in the head by a rebounding watermelon she's attempting to launch by catapult in one one of the challenges. Is "ok" afterwards)

Also NAFO has done some heavy work too making GBS threads on russia disinformation. Russian disinformation is massively down compared to first few months at the start of the war. Bonus of enraging tankies. The fact that it is banned here as a compromise just shows you how effective it is.

Lmao.

Combat footage I can kind of understand. It's not for everyone. Banning words though? Twitter accounts? Is that normal on this site

I think the idea is more that NAFO is white noise by design. The intention is to drown out propaganda with serial dumb dog pictures. Anyone who wants to see that and have a laugh can go and do so, re-posting white noise here isn't very relevant or interesting.

C-Spam. Posters that estimate the number of F-35s in service but are actually out by an order of magnitude. Think Russia will produce 1500 tanks over the next year because a drunk Dmitry Medvedev said so. State that Ukraine targeted civilian population centers with artillery strikes which was part of the casus belli for the SMO. I don't think him making GBS threads into an ocean of poo poo will have much of a difference.

I wouldn't say he's desperate, more like he knows he's got leverage over both sides so he can do whatever he wants = whatever gets him some short term benefit right now. And face no negative consequences.

Sometimes it's funny though so I don't think a blanket ban makes sense, but if that's what it takes to appease our overlords then so be it

Yeah I don't see why he would be desperate, he just got re-elected. It's just not clear what this accomplishes other than pissing of russia (which is certainly great! But transferring the S400 would accomplish that and be more useful), it's not like Ukraine is going to benefit enormously from having those guys back now.

Bike helmets are great. The problems with the mandate are that:
A) they do gently caress all against the primary threat cyclists face (drivers murdering them through negligence or auto-induced sociopathy)
B) without ubiquitous helmet availability, mandates will target the poor and hamper adoption of bike share

Focusing on imposing helmet laws while we still utterly fail to enforce rules that would get drivers to use their 5-ton murder weapons on wheels responsibly is weird and is hard to interpret as anything but anti-bike animus.

To draw it back to the topic of the thread, it's a bit like that Shamnesty report weirdly obsessed with Ukrainian soldiers defending their country in urban areas. Like, yeah, we'd love to not be forced to set up a machine gun nest in what was once Sasha's apartment, but it's weird you're focusing in on that when the RAF raped and murdered Sasha and his family and indiscriminately shelled his neighborhood, all before we showed up.

Just because derailing threads is a tradition as long as the internet has existed - very free biking accidents involves head injuries thanks to human instincts. That said I usually use a helmet because in the rare instances you do fall on your head you’ll get hosed up, and I already have enough concussions

I mean that was kind of my original intention with the post, to give an example of an advocacy group kind of losing track of what they're actually meant to be advocating for. To those bike weirdoes it wasn't about trying to help cyclists or protect them, it was about getting as many cyclists as possible even if it meant doing something that actually harmed the people who do ride their bikes.

Similarly I definitely agree with the sentiment that we should oppose using cluster munitions, land mines etc, but when a country is literally fighting against a genocidal invader, it becomes a bit more complicated, and I don't think either viewpoint is automatically the only correct one, and trying to protect civilians and innocents might not be best accomplished by banning cluster munitions, because those munitions might be stopping a bunch of other people from killing those civilians in horrible ways.
