Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

    Please don’t be a whoosh

    To clarify, I was poking fun at it being mysterious. Because they ARE so common. Sorry if it came off as too legitimate of a comment.

      Hahaha it was definitely a woosh for me, but no worries! I often have a hard time parsing sarcastic tone on text (Neurodivergency or English as a second language? Who can tell? Why not both?) I generally err on the side of just assuming sincerety, that way the worst case is someone tells me woosh - and hey maybe somebody else weren’t sarcastic, but thought the same.

        All good! I thought about finding a better way to word the whoosh part because it felt like I was being aggressive, but I really meant it as more of an internal dialogue “oh no! I hope they didn’t get whooshed”

        I decided I couldn’t find a better way so I just ran with it.
