TLDR: There was a recent shakeup of the Russian top brass and an economist was put in a top job. He thinks the economist has told Putin that this can not be sustained given Russia's capability and Western promised support. Putin might actually be listening and why he wants to settle on current control.
I bet their reasoning is they don't want to get involved in local "politics" but the idiots don't realize they were involved as soon as they started hosting there. Really what they're doing right now is promoting fascism and helping to prop up putin's regime by ensuring conscript dodging information isn't shared. Fucking bastards.
So I've been grabbing a few shows I want to watch reruns of while playing Balatro that don't have good blu ray releases. My piracy is fairly limited these days so I don't bother with private trackers (do have a VPN though).

Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures...
I want to be more respecting of my own sensory needs, and notice certain fabrics are incredible uncomfortable, as opposed to others. I've also noticed loose clothing feels more comfortable for me, then tight clothes. Cotton feels good, polyester does not. I understand this may potentially vary for each person, but wanted to ask...
Same! Though I did just buy a sun sweater made of modal (beech tree rayon) that seems really nice, although it's technically synthetic fabric because of all the processing. Waiting for it to dry before I actually try it on, but I really liked how it felt in my hands.
One outlier is a really old polo sweater that has this really smooth liner that I'm quite certain is entirely polyester but made with really thick strands weaved together. I don't wash it much which is probably why it's more than a decade old now and still in one piece.
Other then those two items everything is cotton. I find levis are the sturdiest and sometimes comfiest jeans if you get the baggier versions.
Yeah, I have to read the hecking fine print on every piece of clothing I buy just to make sure it's not going to create pollution. It's a pia and unfortunately necessary, but worth it.

Yep, it is inherent in human identity and it's absence is the likely cause of many, many mental health issues. The social structure of pre-contact forced christian re-education of indigenous tribes is the product of hundreds of thousands of years of people just straight chilling and is, imo, the natural state of human social structures without the fuckery of abrahamic religions.
I just used gThumb recently to try to post something I had inverted, but posting it to sopuli/lemmy scrubbs the exif data and it was posted as if I didn't do anything.
So, gThumb uses exif data to modify pictures which is likely what is added.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
I think it's slang for ignoring your problems and compressing them into a tiny ball of stress deep inside your mind instead of doing anything to alleviate the suffering.

I'm not sure about the infrastructure in your area (sounds like bike lanes would be equated to communism somehow), but if you really care; call up your city council/local government and lever the power of democracy to create better infrastructure for him (ask him to do the same, if he hasn't already).
Other then that, just let him do his thing. If it's not a big deal to you, why bother? You've warned him about the rednecks, and that's the most you can do. From what I can tell from this rant, he seems to be coping well enough to live on his own and doesn't need parenting; indeed, he probably moved out to get away from his parents in the first place and you're probably just stressing him out.
