And who owned Taiwan before that? Because by your logic THEY should be the current owners as well.

The amount of security flaws in the systems forming our cellular networks is staggering.

UKR may not have the luxury of triaging a bunch of people into non combat roles

I don’t think it’s a luxury but a necessity. A soldier having an utter mental breakdown may become a thread to his own comrades. Of course, there is a difference between people being unable and people being unwilling to fight.

I don’t think anyone really knows how they’re going to react in that situation until they’re in it

It’s one of those rare, unknowable situations. One of my colleagues at university was an ex-soldier. He said he’s seen hulks of men break down after their first combat situation, and unlikely people taking charge in dangerous situations.

Also grade bei Leuten, die streamen, habe ich schon ab und an das Gefühl, dass das Masochisten sind.

I do not think they should be either and my comment stems not from disdain. But sitting in a trench with the enemy converging on your position is not the place to ponder moral dilemma.

On the other hand I just read on Wikipedia that objection to military service on moral grounds is near impossible in Ukraine. This of course puts these people doubly in a position they should not be chastised for.

I imagne that there is ample room for drafted to be assigned to essential noncombat rolles in and outside the military. So a compromise should be possible: Force people into the war effort but not by handing them a weapon.

I understand people being reluctant to kill others unless absolutely necessary. One reason why I will never work in the defense industry is that here is no way for me to be certain that my work will only ever be used in self-defense.

But in this case? Bucha, attacks on hospitals and abduction of children? What else do these people need to understand what the consequences of not fighting are?

I’d love to see a world where war is a thing of the past, but until then it is necessary and in my opinion even morally required to take up arms and defend those who can not fight.

In Deutschland, ja.

Die Daten, auf die sich die Grafik bezieht, stammen aber aus den USA.

Ich denke mal (aus eigener Erfahrung), dass das aber auch wieder sehr abhängig von dem Genre der Spiele ist.

Gemütliche gemeinsame Gartenarbeit in Stardew Valley ist schwer entspannend. Ranked Solo Queue in League of Legends auf der anderen Seite …
