      It’s a very weird feeling. Through the 2010s, you could piece together a more-or-less complete picture of a situation through a mixture of online sources and the media. Now we have full wartime censorship, plus engagement farming bots posting AI videos, or videos from a year ago purported to be from the present. There’s no way to be sure of any specific piece of information, and we can only see the outline of the overall situation.

      Causing shrapnel to fly a bit is one way to get those numbers without deaths, but even then you have a high risk of many serious injuries, these aren’t controlled explosions
