I’d assume it used a non-colloquial definition of sunburn. Your skin can take a certain amount of UV light exposure, after that damage starts to build up. You won’t see that damage at first and only notice once it builds up enough for your skin to become reddened.

ohno he really uttered the word “trolling” thats it its over humanity is done :cry:

That just means nobody listens to what radio DJs have to say. Or to the radio, for that matter.

The problem is that the radio station thinks listeners seem to need some human voice to tell them things in between songs but they don’t want to pay an actual human to do it so they burn trees instead. Just put on a playlist at that point and leave more room for another song or two.

Well, if they straight up GIVE the territory to Russia, it isn’t occupation, of course, it’s ownership. So it’s obviously the vastly superior option of the two only options left to Ukraine. /S

Angelina Jolie isn’t in heat, Marlon Brando isn’t in heat, is ANYONE on this fucking planet in heat?!

They arent Ukrainians, what would make you think that.

Or Argentinians or New Zealandians or Norwegians or South Africans or whatever. What would make me think that (if I even thought of ANY nationality) is that I don’t know, I know nothing about any military, I wouldn’t recognise them unless they have very ostentatious symbols of their nationality somewhere on them or I’m being told “these are [country]ans”. That’s why I said “for all I know” and then added the most polar opposite option I could think of.

added to that where this picture was taken

Which I also don’t recognise. Might be anywhere in the world. (well, “anywhere” is an exaggeration, it does look rather hot and dry)

“russias new mega blaster 9000 russia strong hahaha”.

That would count as propaganda, of course, from that person in particular.

people would probably not laugh about a picture showing a American Drone strike with the caption “dropped a big one in the toilet”

I don’t know, active drone strikes seem different to me from some dude posing with a stupid big gun. The connection to “Americans being posers in Walmart” is a lot stronger.

Anyway, what I can accept is that people might use this picture for their actual propaganda if it is spread around, I get that, and I agree that we need to be cautious. I’d venture though to say that anything that is even remotely related to some kind of national identity can be used that way. That includes stuff like news coverage of Russian aggression (“Woah what is that weapon making the cool fireworks over Kyiv?”).

Thinking about this (too much, sorry), I had another thought: if this picture (on its own) counts as Russian propaganda, shouldn’t that be more reason to use it like this? Really what it does then is equate (apparent) Russian military with stereotypically pathetic Americans who feel like they need to demonstrate their power by taking guns to go buy a drink. Wouldn’t that be a good thing?

I don’t know, it at least doesn’t seem like very effective propaganda if only a tiny group of people even recognise what it’s showing. Propaganda usually tries to reach as many people as possible with very simple and effective imagery. So I’m not sure.

I get where you’re coming from, if you do have that specialised knowledge, it must be obvious to you. But without that, I don’t see how anyone would think “Russia strong” just from this picture. For all I know, they might be Ukrainians.

Not to be argumentative here but you literally didn’t say anything about your stance, just your wife’s. :)

What’s not the same thing? I didn’t say anything was the same thing as another thing?

As someone who doesn’t know shit about military technology, nothing about this suggests Russia to me. In fact it doesn’t suggest any country, except “hur dur Americans like shooting” because of context.

So I don’t know, is it propaganda if you need to have specialised knowledge to recognise what’s being advertised?

Edit: … I’m on your side, people, read to the end of this novel of a post.

When Angie entered her 16th year of being German chancellor, USians yelled about dictatorship too. I had several discussions about how simply remaining in power for a long time does not mean one is a dictator, as long as free and equal elections happen. I may not have agreed with CDU voters (ever), I certainly have never voted for them, but tough.

Circumstances in this case however do suggest that he’s trying to overthrow their entire system and this third term stuff is just an overt symptom of a disregard for their constitution.

My marriage cost about 200 Euros and all of that went into Starfleet uniforms for the two of us. Our reason for getting married was financial, but we’d been engaged for 2 decades. Just hadn’t gotten around to actually doing it, heh. Nothing’s actually changed about our relationship since then because of course, why would it, we’d been together for 22 years before saying yes. But it’s just a nice, grand gesture to proclaim to the world in uncertain terms that you intend to stay together.

I’m not stalking you, I keep seeing your many, many posts while wasting my time on Lemmy.

I will not try something that I know is a scam. That’s not how the world works.

OP keeps posting this and can’t understand why this is a scam. Please someone explain to them that nobody is giving money away.

Thank you for being so very elaborate, that cleared everything up. (It didn’t.)

I can only repeat myself: please find someone you trust in real life with more life experience than you, tell them about this, and let them explain to you why it’s a scam.

You need to realise that nobody is giving money away. They want something in return. There is just no way that, by playing some games or whatever, you are producing enough value (or any value) for anyone to pay you this kind of money in exchange for that value. It isn’t happening, you are being scammed.

OP has posted this elsewhere before. They DM’d me because they won’t give any details in public about whatever it is they’re doing. I tried to tell them it’s a scam but they won’t listen.

Maybe someone else can explain to them why nobody is going to pay anyone $10 dollars for a referral and $20 for 12 minutes of work.

… 🔍🧐

… oh shi-

Edith: äh. Ich mein natürlich “Oh Schei-”. OPs Angelsächsisch hat mein Hirn verwirrt.
