i've seen it mentioned in the last perun video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja6-espHVSE

specifically, that russians now removed from list of diseases excluding from military service: schizophrenia, syphilis, and "central nervous system atrophy disorders". (around 33 min) maybe it was some kind of mistranslation, or, what, are they just sending people with dementia/alzheimer/parkinsons to frontlines? turns out that yea, they do. i wouldn't believe that without evidence and there it is

Its not even funny anymore this is just sad

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

.......it was never funny. What was supposed to be the joke exactly? That millions of people in 3 years have died? That schools, and hospitals have been targeted BECAUSE they were schools and hospitals for bombing?

Yeah, I don't see the humor in any time of this war.

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did they say the entire war is funny? No, you're twisting their words.

[–] Padit 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well for something to be not funny "anymore" it must have been funny at some point. So I get where he is coming from

It’s a turn of phrase and not a literal meaning. That’s how I understand it when people say it.

I thought he was gonna shoot himself in the leg.

Hard to do that when the gun isn't loaded though.

[–] Burstar@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

First rule of handling firearms: The gun is always loaded

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Well... always treat the gun as if it was loaded

There's no magazine in it, there might still be one in the chamber.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are they sending him because they're short on men or doing it because someone who dies gloriously for the fatherland stops drawing their pension?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The one recording seems to be in a pretty dangerous position at times.

[–] Ingiald@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At just about all times. He must be very confident that there can't possibly be a round in the chamber.

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They somehow have that guy as a soldier. It is quite possible (likely?) the cameraman isn't the most safety conscious either.

Ugh I just want subs.
