Try to keep the chatter contained here, folks.

Comment if you were here when the Russians dropped a bomb on our servers in Kiev. WE’RE BACK IN ACTION BABY!

Make sure to report comments that’re overboard or sus.

Gallows humor is a coping mechanism for a lot of folks. As long as it doesn’t go off in the deep end, you gotta let it out.

Yep. people are going to be talking about this anyways, might as well have it in public where conversations can be carefully monitored so as to not go overboard in war glorification.

I know. thank you for sharing your concerns regardless. I’ll keep an eye out for any of the worst offenders

I’m scared for my relatives, I’m at a point of nervous laughter :sadness-abysmal:

they’re not carpet bombing any cities as far as I know lol.

That’s not “carpet bombing”. Carpet bombing is dropping a ton of bombs in succession to destroy everything in an area.

Carpet bombing is a very specific term that has a very specific connotation, to use it to exaggerate targeted bombing of military facilities is highly irresponsible.

Bombing military targets in a war is perfectly defensible and expected

Which cities are being carpet bombed?

None, word is that they’re currently targeting military targets. I don’t see what’s wrong with making light of a situation that’s clearly way above anyone’s grasp either and that could, though unlikely, develop into full-on armageddon at any point.

As the state now? Yes.

yes

As a nation?

also yes in that all nations are bad

but i mostly meant the state
