They don't really arrest tourists, just take them on a little trip to the ATM machine | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
I have been in Bangkok recently and tbh, only rarely did I smell weed or saw someone smoking it. Yes, they sell it everywhere, but it seems like (and I might be wrong mind you) that most Thais in Bangkok do not smoke it. It is usually the tourists doing that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
A bit off-topic, but the only good thing about the way Germany legalized it is that you can just grow your own herbs. I think this is the best way to go if you want to smoke some. Invest into some equipment and grow your 4 plants. You don’t even need to be part of some stupid social club and you can just grow the strains you personally like. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

This is me. My old boss was great. My new boss is a drone and has zero ability to think critically. Half of my team is also the same type. But always on “positive vibes, let things be” shit.

That's nice but that's complete grade A bullshit. If you had a high school diploma almost 70 years ago you would easily land a job that paid well as well as own a house and a car and live comfortably, it has been proven. Quit regurgitating the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" rhetoric because many people in my generation have a significant disadvantage and it's only getting worse with each generation. You are literally the minority. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
The inequality of it all really gets to me.
If everyone was struggling, well then times would just be rough, you know? But in my circle of friends/acquaintances it's more like:
- 60% are having a really tough time, barely enough for rent, no job security despite master's degrees in STEM, experience, smarts, etc.
- 20% are doing okay, with fairly secure jobs, enough for their own place (some fairly nice apartments, no hope for owned property though)
- 15% are rolling in the disposable income, can do whatever (either renting very comfortably in fancy apartments or saving up for something of their own)
- 5% are just straight up rich
And even the 60% of my friend group are far from the really poor demographics I interact with at work, most of whom are or were incredibly hard workers, but just kind of didn't get lucky, didn't have the opportunities, etc.. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
It's also due to companies specifically negotiating to cut the benefits of new hires while leaving senior hires alone to essentially undercut the unions' support among the next generation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
This isn't only about expenses vs income...
This is about the hole i dug myself into without being aware of certain aspects yet and now i wish I've made different decisions in life...
For whoever reads this: be really careful what you decide to get yourself into in your life.... even if at the time it seems the best possible decision. Later i discovered that even tho at the time it seemed best decision, long term i fucked my life and others who started worse than me are now 3 times ahead of me. I'm killing myself over it mentally.... I skipped on a major part of my life experience jumped straight into adulthood into the deep end and i thought i am smarter than the others. I was just stupid, too eager to go through life... now i am eager to jump to the end. Fuck this shit | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

Can someone explain to me why the EU paying Russia for fuel is still a thing 3 years in???
"The EU was the fourth largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels in April, purchasing 9% (EUR 1.9 bn) of Russia’s total export earnings. Pipeline gas made up the largest share of the EU’s purchases of Russia’s fossil fuels (40%) followed by crude oil sent via pipeline (30%) and LNG (26%)."

This shit is for purely internal consumption. It doesn’t make any sense to anyone rational or informed. Russians bask in playing victim. You need like 32oz of vodka, brain damage, and crippling insecurity for any of it to make any sense. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
I don't disagree with you, but that doesn't seem like a terribly likely scenario given how unwilling Russia has been to honestly discuss past wrongdoing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
I really don’t know how Russia or Ukraine deal with cheap one way drones with super basic machine vision of “trained to fly into vaguely military vehicle and human looking shapes”.
All you do is give them a direction and set them loose.
The chips and cameras needed are cheap, those code is mostly in SDKs that exist.
Western armies would never accept the collateral risk, but both Ukraine and Russia easily would. The frontlines are mostly defined enough and not full of civilians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

At this point, I feel like their attacks in that area were just an effort to get Ukraine to kill off Russian "undesirables" for them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Drone interceptors? Decoys? Saturation? Armour/cope cages?
Throw decoys and interceptors into an area until they appear to run out...
Yeah it terrifies me.
The defence of Avdiivka was already drastically changed by drones. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Not drones, but speaking of machine vision this was just reported:
>Ukrainian Ministry of Defense contracts Wolly remote weapon systems
>The Wolly turret is designed to mount 7.62 mm machine guns, including Soviet PKTs. The system operator can fire remotely at a distance of up to 100 meters from the turret.
>The module is controlled via a tablet and gamepad. It can operate autonomously for 130 hours and weighs 30 kg (excluding the weight of the ammunition).
>According to the developers, Wolly can be permanently installed in a trench with a control cable to the dugout.
>A neural network is integrated into the equipment’s combat system, which automatically calculates the distance to the object and ballistics, thus increasing the accuracy of fire. The manufacturers also claimed the ability to recognize targets.

We already have arial drones and sea drones and they are both very successful. Land drones is an obvious next step. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Even when an arial drone is shot down, it likely costs the defender more in AA ammunition than it does to produce the drone. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
The Lynx sounds really promising to me. I found articles talking about how the Lynx is designed to be more cost effective. Do you have any sources giving plausible info on cost and production rates?
I'm definitely still trying to learn on this topic. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Drones cannot take and hold positions. They cannot assault positions. They are great defensive and can act as enablers, but they cannot win or replace infantry assault groups. And infantry needs armored vehicles. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
I think the proliferation of drones makes high-end IFVs and other vehicles a cost-prohibitive proposal. Not obsolete, just not cost effective. A Bradley or a CV-90 is a fantastic vehicle, but when you can only build a small number of IFVs at a high price and your enemy can produce tens of thousands of cheap FPV drones with RPG warheads, does that expensive IFV make sense? I don't think you can feasibly add enough armor to protect against drones, and while a 30 mm gun with proximity fused rounds will work well to take out drones, you'd have to modify the turrets quite a bit to give them the elevation and fire control necessary to be effective in that role, and the very limited ammunition capacity and time dedicated for watching for drones would compromise the gun's primary role as infantry support.
It seems like you either need a much more reliable anti-drone weapon for protection that can increase survivability (widespread deployment of dedicated anti-drone vehicles like Gepards, or a much more effective EW or APS system), or you need to rely on much cheaper vehicles that are effectively disposable. Basically M113s or similar simple vehicles with protection against 14.5 mm and lesser threats. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Wouldn't it shorten the war if we could somehow get a few million russian men to go live, work and pay taxes elsewhere?
Obviously some will be terrorists, so there's a risk to letting them in to western countries. There are other options, and things like deporting those who support the terrorist state and allowing asylum to those openly anti-Putin. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
It seemed they were losing 1200-1300 men daily. Now it is below 1000.

Yeah, things like missile batteries and tanks have a really long lead time. Unless countries are willing to donate from existing active stockpiles (even stuff stored in depots like the US boneyard takes a long time to reactivate) it takes a long time to turn money into physical weapons. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

not true, obama pushed through the magnistky act and really fucked up russian oligarchs:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky\_Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky_Act)
The US also gave aid to Ukraine which allowed them the capabilities to fend off a russian invasion in 2022. In fact, Trump WITHHELD aid to Ukraine, which led to his first impeachment and let Putin think Ukraine was weak, making him invade Ukraine in 2022. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

No bank run happened, but there are no USD or EUR in banks either.
Some ruzzians were able to buy USDs for 94-98 rubbles, depending on a bank/place.
For comparison, official exchange rate set by ruzzian central bank is 88 rubbles for 1 USD.
But the point is banks can now set whatever exchange rates they want.

The west doesnt pump nearly enough propaganda into them.
They don't like russia based on an objective analysis they do because the kremlin actively corrupts their minds while they are young and easy to manipulate.
They actively astro turf all meme subreddits and especially those related to history where they can go full tankie and say shit like "stalin was right".
I'm certain they also have a presence in a bunch of universities around the world as well. Not sure how big but it's definitely there along their influence of authoritarian political parties. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

Villification and witch hunts have not been the lrimaru tactics employed for at least the last 40 years.
Shifitng the 'Overton Window' by taking extreme positions well outsode it and pulling discourse towards those positions has been a major aspect.
A commitment to polarized discourse has been another, in which there is an explicit unwillingness to even engage in serious debate with others while taking the most extreme positions possible.
This has been aided by a news industry that has been bankrupted on one side by forces such as Google's dominance of and undercutting the economics of advertising (which local news highly relied on), and bought out by wealthy extremist individuals (e.g. Murdoch before, and Musk now) on the other.
Combined with the swing to news-as-entertainment, the result has been a fact-light, polarized, and revenue-focused news aparatus that poisons political discourse and prevents factual information from reaching the masses.
Social media is more of the same, with algorithms unintentionally amplifying extremist views into echo chambers on all sides of a debate.
If it were simple 'neo-Mcarthyism' it would be less concerning. The current state of information access and bad-faith political maneuvres is far more damaging and harder to address. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
The nations of 'the West' spent the last few centuries taking advantage of the people, culutures, and resources of those countries.
They were treated as vassals, resources to be extracted, or worse, and that significantly damaged the view those populaces have of Western nations and cultures.
For example: the African continent suffered colonization, apartheid, slave trades .. only to be largely abandoned. It did not help with the whole trust factor thatand first democratically elected leaders on the continent assassinated by European / American interests.
This is a bed we have made for ourseles over centuries of truly bad decision making amd inhumane treatment of others in the world.
That does not get undone in one or two generations of being less horrible, nor are such underlying views of entire populaions able to be shifted by simple rationals.
Meanwhile, countries like China and Russia, which most of these countries have far less experience with (and therefore far less suspicion of), are swooping in promising massive investment and support, while telling these same people how right they are to suspect The West and not trust them.
They have been expertly exploiting the West's well-earned poor reputation and non-existent trust from these developong nations.
Many such nations who do look towards the West do so.out of a desire for the wealth they see there, not so much the political structures.
Not only is that a weak form of bond, it is why e.g. China experimented with the belt-and-roadways program as a way to dump massive economic activitiy into those regions, in an attempt to give those nations what they actually want via shortcut: modernity, infrastrictire, and the prosperity that may follow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
Don't forget that FVD (Dutch conspiracy party) lost all their seats (4 --> 0). Admittedly, they all went to PVV (far-right extremists), but since PVV is forming the new Dutch government, they have been surprisingly mellow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
Wow, this was so well written and explained. I wish I could send this to a fair few people who don't understand the so-called developing world's mistrust of the West.
