These kind of photos always impress me about the number of people who are on their phones. We dont live in countries anymore, we live in screens with our legs on some kind of ground. I hope it's not irreversibly long until these stores can be reopened. We should stop pretending we re living in the cold war era, world is always new. Russia has shown itself to be an irresponsible holder of nukes. After the fall of putin regime it has to rejoin the rest of the world as just a 'country'
- neverminder 5y agoThey may be spending much less time on their phones soon. The apps in Russia are shutting down like falling dominoes. Same goes for phone sales.
- nirav72 5y agoI wonder if the reliance on external services for apps to function will eventually force Russia to accelerate isolating their internet infrastructure. I know they've been attempting to do that. But now this might be the impetus.
- waffleiron 5y ago> Russia has shown itself to be an irresponsible holder of nukes. In which way, so far only a single country has used nuclear weapons in war, and it’s not Russia.
- jdrc 5y agoin using the rules-based order (its right to threaten people with nukes) to break this rules-based order
- Aeolun 5y agoTo be fair, they just happened to be the only ones with nukes at the time. Someone had to try it sometime to figure out exactly how horrible it would be. It’s much preferable that it happened with a 20kt bomb, as opposed to a 20Mt one.
- sneak 5y agoInteresting point: nobody has used a fusion bomb in a war. It was threatened this week, though. I don't think that has happened in a long time.
- PartiallyTyped 5y agoIn the way they actively threatened a nuclear holocaust.
- drawfloat 5y agoI mean, from the look of it, most of them are stood in queues doing nothing.
- ecf 5y ago> We don’t live in countries anymore, we live in screens with our legs on some kinda of ground This would explain the over abundance of people on this website that care more about access to digital bits than they care for sanctioning a dictatorship who attacks a neutral country.
