OP here, ready to answer questions
- post-it 3y agoAre you safe?
- vshymanskyy 3y agoWell, who knows! It's war anyway. At the moment we're in a safe place, for quite some time already.
- coryfklein 3y agoDo you ever have time to relax or do something fun, or are you simply stressed all the time?
- vshymanskyy 3y agoYeah, for sure - I still do a lot of fun/tech things.
- skinkestek 3y agoNot a question, only my best wishes as an early NAFO member. You are in my thoughts, and not only: I have also been donating, flagging trolls, countering misinformation, encouraged politicians and done what I can but I still owe your people. I feel I can admit this here without feeling I am bragging since this account is anonymous and will stay so. My goal by saying it is to say you are bit alone and also hopefully to encourage others to take small steps to help, like asking a politician, supporting civilians (or frontline heroes) by donating, flagging misinformation etc.
- vshymanskyy 3y agoI admire what you're doing! Ukraine still stands because of you and people like you. Be sure, that despite having a destroyed house and maintaining Wasm3 I'm still resourceful enough to: - donate money - donate skills - coordinate multiple mil-tech research groups - run own business - raise 2 kids - ... Cheers!

- medo-bear 3y agoHow about the avarage Ukranian? How is their leisure time spent?
- vshymanskyy 3y agoHard to tell. It's a full (and dynamic) range. In general the life is mostly the same. Except we need to hide from missiles and drones, help UAF. Some of us have an additional burden of killіng the russkies ;) Oh, we also need to know the location of the closest nuclear shelter.
- medo-bear 3y agoIn my country we have alot of male Ukranians who have come to escape conscription. The attitude they have to the war is not very romantic. One of the companies I contract for has developers in Ukraine who are constanly hiding from conscription (ie changing location within Ukraine) because leaving now is too risky. So I wonder how does a person who is engaged in the war effort (you do military tech research) see this
- vshymanskyy 3y agoI see it similarly. It's not easy, both for refugees and those who are still here in Ukraine. However, everyone has a unique story and reasons to see it in a specific light. I know a LOT of people who are hiding, and at the same are doing everything they can, donate and develop high-tech stuff for UAF. The world isn't black/white, however, we know for sure that we MUST do everything so that the russia is stopped and this happens "never again".
- medo-bear 3y agoThanks for responding. It is interesting that you work for the armed forces yet are aware of people who are hiding from conscription. Having experienced war I am aware how senseless it can become. People do not realize how terrible war can be, regardless of whose side you are on. Conscription is also a tool that is often used to get rid of undesireable people (ethnic minorities, opposition, etc). In my opinion forced conscription should be a war crime.

- vshymanskyy 3y agoThank you!

- vore 3y agoAsking OP how many times their house got destroyed for your personal curiosity is, I would think, rather tactless.
- egorfine 3y agoТримайся, колега! <3
