This is how I know you're a troll:

My point is that Russia has been and is entirely capable of waging that same kind of brutal, truly monstrous Western military campaign. They have chosen not to for a variety of reasons

The Russians have been conducting absolutely horrifying crimes against humanity since the start of the war and, in fact, at least since World War 2. There is so much rape and torture embedded in the way that the Russian military operates that killing civilians, which is unconscionable and horrifying, is the least of their crimes.

The Russians could leave Ukraine today and the war would be over. Full stop. There is no justification for anything else.

Are you always this angry? Doesn't it get exhausting?

They were in the Eurovision this year (and unfortunately came last) but the Norwegian band Gåte. Their songs Skarvene and Hamløypar are two of my favorites, and Bannlyst is also fantastic.

Does that include sleeping consistently at least 8 hours a night for at least a few weeks straight? In my experience, sleeping long after not getting enough sleep makes you feel even more tired the first few days.

How much sleep do you get? I've found that getting 8 hours of sleep and then getting up immediately when the alarm rings is the best way for me to get started in the day; waiting too long with getting up, getting dressed, or getting started just makes me more drowsy and adds mental inertia.

Naturally we're all individuals, so what works for me may not be right for someone else.

Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.

Let me know when you want to have a conversation instead of arguing in bad faith. Aside from that I suggest you learn how to be less angry about things on the internet, it'll make you happier.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but "black people are dangerous thugs" is very clearly a racist generalizing statement.

That is, at least to me, is both a bit of a strawman and an invalid comparison.

First: The statement "black people are" implies it applies to all of them, or at least the average person, whereas the sentiment that I usually see isn't that all men are dangerous but rather that some are and it's difficult, if not impossible, to know which are beforehand.

Second: Men have not been marginalized, discriminated, and systematically oppressed for centuries. People of color have been, at the very least in the west and the countries they've colonized.

There's an additional point to be made here that I feel is relevant: Ethnicity does not inherently infer a large difference in physical characteristics the same way biological sex does. I don't imagine the strength of an average person varies as much depending on ethnicity as it does depending on biological sex. The average man is much physically stronger than the average woman, in a physical confrontation she'd be at a distinct disadvantage.

I think you hit on something that is a pretty big part of the problem: Men taking it personally. As far as I know, no specific man is mentioned, but a lot seem to insert themselves into the situation.

I try to do my best in life to be a good person, to be a good man, but I completely get why a woman would be worried about being in the middle of nowhere with a strange man, even if that man was me, because they don't know what that person is capable of.

How do you make it work? I've been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.

If you encounter a black bear, make yourself big and threatening. If attacked, fight back.

If you encounter a brown bear, stay facing it but avoid eye contact and back away slowly. If attacked, play dead.

If you encounter a polar bear, pray for a quick death.
