Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus.

  25% of 150 million is a pretty large number of people. “Many” is vague enough that you shouldn’t be calling anyone dumb over it.

    75% of 150 million is still a significantly larger number, regardless.

    And calling a pro-Russian troll dumb is fine, because only feelings are hurt, meanwhile actual lives are being lost thanks to Russians invading Ukraine, and is competitively worse.

      There can be multiple groups of many people in a population. It doesn’t have to be a majority to be significant.

        But it begs the question, why do we care what a minority of people think in Russia? No one here owes any Russian anything. Not Nvidia drivers, not… anything. I say we firewall the whole Russian state off from the internet and call it a day. Tired of their cheating in every sporting event, killing citizens of other countries, blowing up pipelines, and generally behaving like shitty little gangster hooligans. Is there a small number of good people there? Sure. But thats not any of our problem-- thats their problem.

      I think you’re mistaking “many” for “most”. There are objectively many Russians against putins bullshit. And the original comment specifically said they’re afraid to speak out, meaning part of those you say are for putin are just stuck, like so many others around the world. The only troll here is you, every reply you’ve gotten is way more friendly than you deserve. (I refuse to capitalize putins name, and wish nothing but death to him, his regime and everyone supporting him).

  I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.

  25% of millions of people is still many people, they didn’t say “a majority of people”.

  Hmm little aggressive ya?

    Only to Russian shills that attempt to minimize the Ukrainian suffering, such as yourself.

      e.g.

      I’m going by this definition of “many”: a large but indefinite number. Identifying the larger percentage, 75% or 25%, isn’t much of a challenge 😉
