They have not left, and are indeed building a house there and posting endless pro Russia videos.
Nevermind the initial articles and the poor wife’s tearful video that was deleted after they were “requested” to do so. Which of course they then denied and said of course they edited it themselves.

I missed the discussion on voting the other day it seems, but for what it’s worth, I like the voting system. In real life discussions happen in open air, and don’t hang there in posterity for people to stumble upon after. When we come to a consensus in conversation it is then left at that and we move on.
When online, these discussions stay as they are, and I think voting gives a way of people to come to a consensus, to leave a mark upon the conversation such that the people who come behind understand how everyone felt about it.
This is helpful I think, because it does not hide the down votes on nasty comments or ideas that hurt others.
One of the most interesting and horrible things about the internet is that every village has a “crazy Bob” but because they were the minority the good of the people outnumbered their outlandish or hateful ideas.
Now they can and do find each other online, forming a vocal and damaging minority. Without the majority able to show their dislike, human nature means more will fall in line with them and their ideals.
“Now when I’m thinking about all the recent times I’ve been “helping” her out financially”
This statement gives the impression that finances are not equal at all, and that you consider giving the stay at home mother of your child money to cover her expenses as “help” that deserves some sort of pat on the back.
She is a stay at home mom, that is her job. You go to work to earn the money, that’s your job.
You saying that you “help her out financially” is just… weird. It’s like a father saying he is “babysitting” his kids. You don’t babysit your own children, you parent them because you are their father.
Edit: Apologies, I seem to have replied to the wrong person. <3
I highly recommend Sliquid for a lubricant. We have tried many others, and none compare.

^ This is the water based, which is nice for those that prefer it
https://sliquid.com/shop/sliquid-naturals/silk-sliquid-naturals/
^ This is the hybrid lubricant, our holy grail. It has a little silicone in it, which keeps it from drying out and getting gummy, while still feeling natural and not leaving us with a greasy clean up.
The Sliquid Silk hybrid lube was also tested and is silicone toy safe. We have personally tested it with every toy we have, including Bad Dragon soft and medium, leaving it on the test pucks for a few days with no change in the material.
Also here is a lovely list of lubes tested for ph and osmolality:

Hey there, I’m not sure since my laptop only has usb c free, but one of the reviewers on Amazon said that it works fine over usb a.
Ah! I saw this in a medical journal last night! Was a case included in the paper I was reading about increased IOL after ICL implant. They didn’t show how they fixed it, but you could see that the iris was wrecked. Very cool stuff!
I won’t claim to be an audiophile by any means, but it sounds ok to me!
This is the one I have:

Its nice, does usb or bluetooth.
Honestly, the rules and laws on divorce are so wild across the country. I was married in California but my husband left after 6 months. I hadn’t see him in 9 or 10 years, had no idea where he was.
Because I was in the state of Kentucky when I filed, I had to go to a church run “divorce education class” on how to save my marriage and complete a little workbook.
Completely insane class, I stayed in the back and tried to stay silent, but the teacher forced me to participate and asked some leading question about how I could communicate better with my spouse to prevent a divorce or some shit.
Told her I had no idea where my spouse was, that he had left after 6 months and that I had to hire a private investigator (and a police officer!) to serve my divorce papers. The whole thing was nuts.

Seriously, this is a wonderful thing to do. Teeth are so important and so fragile. I can imagine a lot of soldiers have damaged teeth, or have dental issues from not being able to properly keep up with hygiene in the field. What a wonderful person.
“I was always puzzled by the fact that people have a great deal of trouble and pain when and if they are forced or feel forced to change a belief or circumstance which they hold dear. I found what I believe is the answer when I read that a Canadian neurosurgeon discovered some truths about the human mind which revealed the intensity of this problem. He conducted some experiments which proved that when a person is forced to change a basic belief or viewpoint, the brain undergoes a series of nervous sensations equivalent to the most agonizing torture.”
I saved this quote years ago, I don’t remember the source, but your post reminded me of it.
This reminds me of the series of self portraits drawn by an artist with dementia.
What a beautiful story, thank you for posting it.
Prime video… in the dash? Isn’t that like… a bad idea from a safety standpoint? O_o
Holy shit… If people can buy influence, then the political nutbags that already influence social media through bot accounts will now be able to directly use their money to further push their agendas unfettered… I am so glad I jumped ship when I did.
Hey, I often participate in random acts of pizza on imgur. If you would like, I could order some pizza to yours so you have a meal or two. <3
I found a massive table of all the lemmy instances that allowed me to sort by features that were important to me. Does the community allow up/down voting, does it allow NSFW, does it allow porn? How many communities has it defederated with?
lemmy.world ticked all the boxes that were important to me.
Did you read the article?
“Russia launched 127 missiles and 109 attack drones”
and later it says:
“Previously, an attack last December when 158 missiles and drones were fired at Ukraine, had been considered the largest attack so far.”
It’s been a while since I was in school but I think 236 drones and missiles is more than 158?
