Here's an idea - try some empathy instead of whatever this "it sure shifted me to a conservative direction.." bullshit is.
It's not really all that believable that any normal person would behave like you say you did, but in case you're actually serious I feel sorry for your child. Nobody deserves shit like that from their own parents.
Just because I'm curious: I have chronic sarcoidosis in both lungs, and lifelong asthma. I've by some miracle survived 4 years, but at the cost of almost all the stamina I used to have. COVID still circulates around the daycares, youth clubs and workplaces here and I have children.
I don't have an option to not wear a mask when I leave the room I've spent these 4 years in. Does that bother you?
Be honest and tell us you don't give a shit about the people around you.
I've had this sinister feeling in the back of my head ever since I saw Extrapolations that it was far more of a documentary of what's to come than even the creators intended.
It's been a year since I watched it the first time, and that feeling has only gotten worse since.
Him being a pretty smart guy overall surely has at least some sort of continuity planned.
At least there's ~~two~~ ~~three~~ four of us.
That's true, I'm sorry.
There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don't know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don't know about them anymore either.
Other than that, what's wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they're at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.
It's called fog of war for a reason though, you're never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.
The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they're fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it's not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they're also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.
On the other hand, it's pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can't be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.
Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That's where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.
So, you're doing absolutely nothing except consciously support the rapist fuck who wants to sell out the whole country to Russia? Gotcha.
You can't be serious.
That's Microsoft in a nutshell for ya.
No. Do you have a serious case of anger management issues? You sure sound like it.
"I truly don't want to.." yeah I bet you really don't want to.
