Russians are really bad about impersonation. Both sides keep changing their arm bands for ID because of that. That's why they're using replaceable ducktape. They're temporary. If you stick with one color, the enemy impersonates you. It's a colour code. I know that's morally wrong, but that's what's happening. There's also NO chance that helps with identifying your limb /s. I'm not a combatant, but I've been following Ukrainen info lines for a while. They talked about it once. I'll edit if I can find a source.

Edit: I can't find the example of a soldier talking about the arm bands, but here's some evidence (I saw it, but it was removed):

"During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian ground forces started to use reflective yellow armbands, similar to yellow reflective belts used in the U.S. Army.[2] Later, they switched the armband color to blue (the other color of the Ukrainian flag) to prevent Russians from infiltrating their ranks.[3]" Wikipedia

"Russian forces have used red, as well as gray, white cloth, neon green, silver reflective bands, and black and orange ribbon. The black and orange ribbon is a reference to the Order of Saint George, the highest military decoration in the Russian Federation. The colors of the ribbon are said to symbolize war's fire and gunpowder, the death and resurrection of Saint George, or the colors of the original Russian imperial coat of arms." Wikipedia

I don't blame them for hiding the exact info. Loose lips sink ships.

Edit 2: Here's an article with the person who gave the info:

Yeah, 2015 (kind of). How's the couch? Apparently, Mr. Bojangles is still alive. I'm on the couch too, no judgment lol. Also, he's really kind if you hit him up. PM me. I don't want to get doxxed. I'm not sure if that means anything to you. If you know me, you can look at my username and know who I am. I say some pretty radical stuff on lemmy, so I'd prefer to keep my cards to my chest.

My bio teachers last name was "MoCock." His wife's first name is "Love."We just called him,"Mr. Mo". I think it's crazy she took his name, lmao.

Dude, that's child molestation. "Fast forward 20 years, and I didn't even realize I had the opportunity to be abducted."

CGP Grey started a cult similar to Pythagoras'es. Convince me, I'm wrong.

Stone can even form hexagonal pillars/ patterns. I don't know why people are surprised. It's called columnar jointing (for my example).

All the kids I've met are good at navigating UI, regardless of the platform. They know how to use websites well, but they don't know how they work. This is a generalization, though.

I actually had a nightmare last night: my boss took me offline while I was making a script, and I think that's even scarier for younger generations. This is coming from an older Gen Z.

I was not expecting the Elizabeth Francis link to immediately open a swastika (It's not the nazi one).

How the fuck do you accuse someone of being a terrorist and then threaten to blow them up? Also, I am slowly missing the "talking stick", more and more.

Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can't get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.

I love the saying, "The trees vote for the axe, because the axe has a wooden handle. Eventually, there'll be no more trees." I'm paraphrasing.

Now... now!? They've been doing that for centuries.

 

I'll never forget his contribution to the fallout community, as well as my childhood.

 

Sorry for using YT shorts. That was just the original source.

I've never seen a situation like this before. The UAV looks like an RQ-21, but why is it blowing up over a lake in the US? The poster has shared no editional information but seems legit based on their posting history. Does anyone have any explanations?
