For the non-Aussies, Ben Roberts-Smith is one of the most decorated soldiers in Australian history and is currently accused of throwing a disabled man with a prosthetic leg to the ground and shooting him 10-15 times while on deployment in Afghanistan in 2009. He is suing publications for defamation saying he didn't do any war crimes, but he almost certainly did a few cheeky atrocities let's be real

[@sgtkeml]

It’s pretty funny when he did a “leggy” good old Aussie comedy. We like to try make up funny shit and don’t give a fuck about others people opinions 😂😂

[@Boy_Boy]

The defamation trial is turning out quite well... Instead of clearing his name, all this other fucked up stuff is coming to light. A few weeks ago we found out he also handcuffed a farmer and kicked him off a cliff.

One of my favorite memories: a friend and I were too late to a free classical music concert, so instead we pretended we were part of the organization and smiled our way through many old corridors and stairways until we found our way onto the roof. After sneaking in a window of the practice wing and playing a standup bass very poorly (got some looks after venturing into the hall) we returned out the same window and found a place to listen to the concert from above, sitting in a room with an inverted glass dome that hung over the performance hall. Couldn't really see anything and the music was a bit muffled, but it was something that only we experienced, and that was truly fantastic. (Unfortunately that friend is no longer alive. Still have the memory, though.)

Seriously, I happened to be in San Francisco that day and saw so many people wearing the same blue lanyards. So I followed them over to Moscone Center and asked the lady at the front desk what it was all about, and if I could see it. She inexplicably printed out and gave me a full pass, which normally costs well over a thousand dollars and requires registering months in advance. I don't know why she did that. I was just some rando who wandered in; for all she knew, I could've been some kind of terrorist. They didn't even check my backpack. I got away with tons of free swag. One of the booths had a Hawaiian theme, with the desk decorated with authentic flower leis. I talked one of the clerks into giving me one, and I wore it on the entire subway ride back home.

My friends and I snuck into Gamescom a few years ago because we couldn’t get tickets and it was so much harder than getting into this arms dealer convention.

[@davidy22]

Did you try wearing a suit and walking in with authority?

[@KnitterX]

@@davidy22 No but looking confident when walking past the security was the vital final step after a long series of sneaking through dark empty garages and past the catering kitchen. For some reason there was also a concert hall with a grand piano where people were having lunch. We went in through the neighboring building, onto the rooftop and from there there's a bridge to the rooftop of the actual building where the convention is.

Ok so hilariously I actually frequent these arms expos in the US. My favorite thing to do is do a bit of joking around too, go to the vehicle/aircraft vendors and ask them if they've got discounts on last model year etc like used car sales and shockingly often they run with it and go on long spiels about how their MPG is and what entertainment options there is.

You should ask them if the amputated arms and legs of smaller children still get stuck in the treads, because the old model was awful about that. Like, you'd have to get out and scrape the baby arms off every so often and it just ruined the whole trip through the site of the drone strike.

why do you think the old illustrations and stereotypical executioners wore black hoods? because most people don't want to feel judged for having a job where you're probably going have to do some fucked shit to people. that, and it also protects you and your family from being harassed by media and radicalists.

[@valentinmitterbauer4196]

@@_DMNO_ Executioners in europe 500 years ago were seen as an "unclean", similar to prostitutes. They often got their own table at the town's inn and a very own set of cuttlery and cups, as nobody would've wanted to eat with untensils that might've got used by an executioner at some point. There is even a diary/order of commissions of a franconian executioner from the late 16th century, who performed over 350 documented executions and 345 "corporal punishments" which normally meant torture, like hacking off fingers and such. But personally he doesn't seem like a bad guy, for example he advocated for prisoners who were originally sentenced to execution by drowning. Often enough the sentence was changed due to his intervention to beheading, which is much less inhumane.

The armor being used to disassociate from being human is genuinely one of the most bone chilling things I’ve ever heard someone say completely unapologetically. He thought that was ok

[@jesusofbullets]

Disassociating during (or even after) combat is extremely common. It’s a form of psychological protection. To kill another human being is not only the most taboo of acts, but for the vast majority of humans, it feels wrong down to the core of your psyche. Your mind has to find a way to detach from the situation to do what needs to be done. Distance or physical barrier enable disassociation significantly better. It’s easier to drop a bomb from a plane, press a button on a screen, or fire a cannon while in a tank than it is to pull the trigger within yelling range of another human, because the closer we get, the easier it is to remind us of the humanity of the enemy.
