Fulmars are absolute bastards when you are climbing, and you get a lot of them on the old man.

Yeah. It's not very good, is it?
That guitarist was not ready to do that song justice, at all. And the singing. Erm, yeah.
Some folk in the comments absolutely soiling themselves with how utterly amazing it was, mind. Patriotic ears, I imagine.

Well, clearly you think differently. You posted the link.
I'm sure he's a very good guitarist. He's just not good/practiced enough to do justice to Brothers in Arms.
Listen to it again. Then go listen to the original. He's mostly getting the notes in the right places, but it lacks all of the flow and expression that made Brothers in Arms such a masterpiece. In fairness, most guitarists would be setting themselves up for failure trying to mimic Knopfler. But this guy comes across as 'trying out new guitar in guitar shop' level.
Still, he's a professional soldier, not a professional musician. So perhaps I'm being too harsh. At least there's the awful singing to act as a distraction.

I thought the intro was utterly beautiful
The orchestral arrangement was breathtaking. I just don't like the style of singing personally, she's obviously got a very well trained voice. Up into the singing it was spine tingling
Sorry if I was a bit harsh.

I'm not a fan of the original and only watched/listened because of the old man fight going on here.
The intro was adequate, nothing special. This is what an orchestra sounds like.
The guitar playing was a little quiet, the guitarist obviously believes his guitar has 100 times the sustain it actually does, but adequate. Is he comparable with Knopfler? Yes, obviously.
The singing was off to begin with but seemed to improve. It is the nail in the coffin for me too though, I couldn't stand to listen to any more.
Not the best military music I've ever heard, but very far from the worst.

The voices of TikTok
"In 2018, voiceover artist Bev Standing recorded 10,000 sentences for the Chinese Institute of Acoustics. Bev was told the recordings would be used for a translation app, but three years later, she was shocked to discover that she had become the default voice of TikTok in North America. On TikTok, Bev heard herself saying all kinds of wild and inappropriate things."

Backrooms has popped up for me recently when looking for good SFM videos.
I never realised that the original is from way back in the 90s. It could be one of the earliest examples of the genre.

Beneath the flickering flames of the torchlight they worked to unseal the tomb.
The two men strained with crowbars to lever a heavy stone out of position before straining their eyes to look into the inky void below it.
The floor is... its moving, but how can that be? That sound; that smell, is it incense?
Leaning over he dropped a flaming torch to the floor, a dark patchouli scented figure shrank back as the torch hissed in a pint of snakebite and black.
Goths, why'd it hafta be Goths.

They had an opportunity to speak directly to Russian citizens,
to try to persuade them that their media is peddling a lie and that the invasion is unjust. To try to get their sympathy. To spread doubt in the minds of the population of their aggressors. Instead they chose to piss them off.
Good job chucklefucks. Good. Fucking. Job.

i might make the following points
* that perhaps people aren't going to hang around as you build your subtle thesis filled with persuasive allegory and subtextual nuance as it suddenly cuts in unwanted to their cafe pc speakers like it's some Radio 4 show
* that despite your hopes pretty much every "persuade the enemy" propaganda campaign has been mostly ineffectual, from Lord haw haw to leafleting the vietcong from b52s
* even if a few barristas thought, "hey, this anonymous voice suddenly coming out of my speakers has a point", they're not really in any position to do much about it, it being a repressive semi-dictatorship and all
* and lastly, that rather than thinking of it as failed propaganda, it's possibly that it's succeeding in doing exactly what it intended. Like the probably apocryphal "fuck you" from the snake island defenders, it's purpose may be to boost morale of the ukrainians by showing them small acts of defiance against a powerful enemy in dark times, which is why its just a few web cam clips

I think what they've done is brilliant.
I imagine that pro war russians are so brainwashed that trying to tell them that they're wrong would just make them more feverent in their belief of russian propaganda.
I see this as a gentle prank that shows Russians that the authorities do not have the total control that they would have them believe they do and that Ukrainians are people not so different to them, demonstrating simultaneously their national pride and their sense of humour.

I'd imagine you could quite easily catch all three in one frotting if you were being particularly irresponsible, as this bloke seems to have been.
I'm a bit disappointed that my Covid was asymptomatic. I feel a bit short‐changed by the whole thing.
The chances that it has passed me by are practically zero. Just about everyone in my workplace has been off with it at least once. I regularly take public transport and both my folks tested positive for it while I was visiting. But not a sniffle.
The ex has apparently never even had it. She works as a dispensing optician and is in close contact with numerous members of the public on a daily basis. She's required to take an LFT every day, never tested positive.
It's clearly all a big false flag operation.
