Come on, give it a rest and try not to be so paranoid; just take a look at what’s happening up there. 🙂

Look, Tyler Grant76, you don't need some official moderator badge to act on what you wrote in your own post over the next few hours; honestly, you could just delete the whole thing if you wanted to.

Besides, even a mod can only edit posts within their own subreddit, not someone else's territory.

But yeah, point taken—I’m certainly no moderator here on this subreddit.
Once the timer runs out, you'll get a notification, so there's really no reason to hit a like on something you don't actually agree with.

Honestly, I think you’re going to hit a wall pretty quickly if you try to rely solely on hitting the gym and cutting back on portions. If you really want to see results, your biggest ally is probably going to be whoever handles the cooking in your house—your mom, I’m guessing? There are endless calorie tracking apps and charts online these days, and honestly, the whole kitchen setup might need a bit of a makeover toward lighter options. Think less heavy casseroles and fewer piles of potatoes. You want more cooked meals and leaner proteins—though you didn't mention how much bread you're pairing with your meals, so that's a factor too. Generally speaking, grabbing a whole chicken breast is a much better move than devouring two drumsticks. Also, why not aim for smaller, more frequent meals? Having five smaller bites throughout the day instead of three big ones, or even just swapping one meal for some fruit, could make a huge difference. But look, whatever path you pick, the goal shouldn't just be about killing hunger; it's about finding an eating pattern that actually makes you feel good. It needs to become a lifestyle, because let's face it, those fad diets never actually fix the underlying issue.

And hey, there are plenty of sports where you don't have to worry about anyone watching you. You could always rent out some space at a local community center for something like badminton—most people just head over there with a few friends and call it a day.

You can jump in too (before the three of us end up being glued to this thread) and while we’ve still got more than five hours on the clock.

I have a hunch you might end up getting your own dedicated subforum, but honestly, there’s some truth hidden between the lines regarding everything surrounding us and the culinary arts.

If that happens, I imagine it would be something like wild ramps.

😕 Is there actually such a thing as a statute of limitations on insurance claims?
I honestly always assumed the answer was no—but now I’m sitting here feeling incredibly confused by this whole situation.

frozentinker432 said:hold on, now that you mention this urge to be wicked, what, was that sarcasm?
lately, I’ve been trying to convince myself that absolutely every single post here is well-intentioned, even the ones that reek—or rather, smell—of sarcasm
i’m sorry if I left you with that kind of impression.

No, my posts are never meant to be malicious, but people tend to take some of my jokes as attacks—just like they do with your posts. Everything I wrote is exactly what I intended to say. Just read it again, and you'll see I mean it!

Honestly, I think I'm far too old to be hiding behind anonymity, and besides, I'm not even that anonymous to begin with, so why would I bother being anything other than direct? I can afford to speak my mind legally and openly, and that is exactly what I choose to do. So, what you read there was me, plain and simple, and I stand by every word of it.

I’m feeling a little bit mischievous today, but honestly, at least one of those four teachers your son is going to deal with from first through fourth grade—you know, English, his homeroom teacher, music, and maybe religious studies if they even bother with that—is bound to be a decent human being, though you really ought to prepare him for the others.

frozentinker432 said:Look, you can find all that info in a heartbeat just by checking Google, so there's really no need to be provocative here. We wouldn't want anyone else on this forum feeling a bit inferior just because they aren't quite as highly educated as our friend over here—it’s practically a prerequisite at this point, isn't it?

Why?

These lines are some pretty striking expressions of national identity dating back to before the era of Christ. Sadly, I don't speak a dozen ancient languages, but even through a translation—or just a loose retelling—they carry such weight, don't they? There's this intense invocation of a Muse to justify a deep-seated hatred for those who disregard tradition, paired with this desperate plea for divine intervention to somehow force justice into existence through sheer strength. (And let's not get distracted by Troy by Brad Pitt; just ignore what he looks like 🙂 )

Now, go ahead and crack open a dictionary! While you're at it, maybe take a quick look up the definition of nationalism too, shall we?

End of discussion!

👋

And why don't you grace us with your presence by reciting the opening lines of the Iliad? Since you're clearly so highly educated, feel free to do it in the original Greek for all we care. 🙂

Honestly, I think you all need to go beg Mr. jalnuški to provide you with some formal definitions for things like nationhood, nationalism, and the state, just so we're all on the same page.

You guys act like you're just haggling at a local farmers market.

Where even is the actual topic here?

Alex, what exactly did they teach you in school? (And really, the same goes for Magda—are you two actually the same age?)
If you were moms or dads, aunts, or even just older relatives, how would you even begin to explain this to your kids?
And for those of you who are young and won't have children of your own, what exactly are you holding against your generation, and how on earth do you plan to pass down the history of our Homeland War to your grandkids if you can't even discuss it now?

For God's sake, could you please just identify yourselves? Tell us if you're a student, a parent, or maybe some sort of lone wolf activist... anything so the rest of us can actually understand where your perspectives are coming from, rather than feeling like every single question is just a personal insult.

Jose Chase2 is spot on here—they’re stripping away the word "community" and replacing it with "pack."

I mean, look, any individual can choose to hide where they come from if they feel like it, or even try to reinvent themselves under a different flag, but honestly? That isn't exactly the kind of legacy I'd want to pass down to my kids.

If you were ten years older back then, would you still be so eager to have escaped California as quickly as you did?

I can't shake this growing feeling that we didn't just lose lives in the war, but we lost the very foundation of how an entire generation was raised.

History actually matters; it’s what gives you a sense of belonging to a people, to a nation.

The only ones who don't seem to grasp this are the globalists and those lost souls drifting through this endless cycle of capitalist consumerism.

I find myself wanting to revisit that old letter where people lament how we're all just forgetting who we truly are and what we stand for...

Jose Chase2 said:yeah, we've got those Brešanov witnesses🤮

I was actually thinking about maybe using harisonov's flowers, or perhaps something like "how the war started on my island" for Hannah Davis18, though I’m a little worried she might end up hating pasta shells after all that. 😁

@Olivia Nguyen4

That’s exactly my point. One minute you’re sitting there with the sunshine on the windowsill, listening to the distant sound of a backyard BBQ, and then you see those images flashing on the news—suddenly, it feels like the whole world is happening somewhere else entirely. I can still vividly recall watching the coverage of the Gulf War on TV.
Then, out of nowhere, you’ll see an airstrike on the news at 3 PM, and by 4 PM, you’re looking at columns of people fleeing a small town like rural Kansas, clutching their livestock and grocery bags. That very same evening, I found myself out in the barn with four cows and twenty neighbors crowded under the shed. 😢
You get kicked out of your perfect little bubble pretty fast.

But if you start recounting all those horrors to your kids, they’re just going to end up having nightmares; they’ll live in fear. Honestly, I don’t claim to have all the answers. I used to think the school system would handle the heavy lifting of teaching them about history, but they tend to shy away from that responsibility too. I try to sprinkle in bits of reality through a few documentaries, some news clips, or just casually bringing things up when we’re discussing a movie or a headline, and slowly, the facts start to sink in. It isn’t even really about specific neighboring countries; it’s more about being prepared for whatever life throws at them. At the end of the day, who knows where their path will lead? If they ever find themselves caught in a conflict, I doubt they’ll be any less emotionally shaken than those of us who lived through it.

nimblewalker58 said:But how could anyone have possibly prepared for that? And honestly, when would it have even been early enough for them to start?

I don't think anyone could have truly braced themselves for what actually went down; it played out like a script no one could have ever warned you about.
In all honesty, if there had been any inkling that things were going to turn into such a complete disaster, my parents would have whisked me away from Florida in a heartbeat.

That’s exactly how they managed to evacuate families of high-profile citizens just in time.

I feel like the answer to why the girl was in the wrong lies right here (in bold). 😉

Now, I wasn't exactly a kid when this whole thing kicked off, but I certainly hadn't grown out of my naivety yet. A few of my friends were aware and tried to warn me, but it was just so hard to wrap your head around. If my own child ever showed that kind of blind, unconditional trust in the world around them, I’d be worried sick.

Of course, stories about the Civil War aren't exactly his main obsession, and I doubt they hold much weight for kids today, but the way that history is taught in schools is frankly embarrassing. The only required reading on the subject isn't even mandatory. (Think back to our childhood—every single page seemed to be filled with war heroes and resistance fighters, even stuff as innocent as "sunshine on the windowsill," and even in preschool we had those sweet little recitations about young patriots—I swear they started us on that at age three).

It seems to me that in your rush to take the morally high ground, you fell right into the exact traps that little brat was warning you about, and I actually think she's right—you probably are too. Otherwise, you wouldn't be jumping down her throat like a bunch of angry hens.

amberviper39 said:Did you actually bother reading frozentinker432’s post above? Honestly, truly, would you really want your son growing up feeling this bitter? Is that some kind of future you're aiming for? It’s your job—just like any other parent's—to teach your kid how to think for themselves and tell right from wrong. That’s easily the hardest part of parenting, isn't it? Most people fail that test miserably.

😕

Personally, I didn't see bitterness or hatred in what was written. What I saw was an emotional young person speaking truths that most adults wouldn't dare voice out loud, even here where it's pretty obvious there are plenty of people suppressing those exact same feelings while others are just out there searching for their own answers.

And honestly? I'd much rather have a daughter like that than your thirteen-year-old who you're keeping wrapped in bubble wrap. It’s exactly that kind of overprotective upbringing that left us all looking completely lost when things went south back in the 90s. If anything, I'd want my child to learn from my experiences so they don't have to learn everything the hard way by experiencing it all firsthand—usually when it's already too late.

The whole "uplifted raspberry" thing is just political theater; it’s going to be a total waste of everyone's time.

I really wish I had stumbled upon this thread sooner.

If you're looking into subsidies,

- you'll need to dig into the Federal Farm Bill
- check out the subsidy amounts and eligibility requirements (those little PDF links on the right side)
- keep in mind that you have to be registered in the VAT system to qualify for any of those incentives; you can find all the latest updates over at the USDA website, where they also host all the necessary application forms you'll need to download.
- obviously, things get significantly more complicated if you're trying to farm in designated conservation areas or pivot toward organic production, but hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

For anyone who is still just testing the waters and weighing their options, I'd highly recommend checking out the fall agricultural expo or visiting the USDA booth there; you can pick up almost all the documentation you need, and isn't it better to actually understand the regulations before you dive in?

Take about 30 flowers, give them a good rinse, and just let them soak in a liter of water overnight. When you wake up the next morning, bring the whole thing to a boil and then strain it through some cheesecloth.

For every liter of juice you end up with, mix in a kilogram of sugar and one little packet of citric acid—you know, the kind that's about the size of a small sugar packet you'd get with your coffee at Starbucks.

Now, if you're planning on being a bit more health-conscious and cutting back on the sugar, you really ought to pasteurize the bottles once they're filled; otherwise, there's a much higher chance the whole batch might go bad on you.

You all seem to forget that there are over 100,000 (one hundred thousand) Canadians living right here in Washington, D.C.! 😳

Let people see exactly what kind of backwater, uncultured peasants the locals have to deal with out there!

If anyone ever dared to say anything about Mexicans while standing next to people like you, I’d personally knock every single tooth out of their head, you Latinized losers!

Curse your Warrior on God's path, because if it weren't for him, everything would look completely different—in fact, you'd probably be singing me a whole different tune today ...AND YOU'D BE SINGING IT IN ITALIAN !!! 🤣 🤣

We already took care of you back in Canada... quite fairly, actually... and we did our part in helping you out down in California too! 😳

We'll throw a few more bucks your way just so you'll finally get lost and leave us alone... honestly, it's practically "Made in Istria" quality! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Here is our nation within our Canadian borders: 😳

Honestly, I think you're looking for followers in all the wrong places. Your relatives on the far-right fringe or whatever they call themselves... you'd probably get a much better response from the guys over there.
