I’ve been looking at the comments coming out of the local news circles and even here lately, and I’m honestly fascinated. You see people saying, "Oh, Russia is just going to annex the occupied territories." Okay, and? Does that mean the war—pardon me, the special military operation—is suddenly over?
For an annexation to actually happen, one side has to decisively defeat the other and seize or liberate those territories. But let’s be real: this conflict isn't even close to being finished. If anything, things might just escalate further. What on earth is going through people's heads?
I have to admit, I was holding out hope that something major would go down in Moscow last night given all these delays. I’m still clinging to the idea that the mobilized Russian soldiers might actually act like their ancestors did back in 1917, but let’s be real—the odds are slim. If nothing else happens, the Ukrainians have already won this "special military operation"; now they just need to win the war. 😉
Great topic. I honestly can't narrow it down to a top three myself—there are just way too many incredible scenes out there. For the most part, I find myself nodding along with those classic, iconic moments from last century's Sci-Fi hits.
Looking at this century, we seem to be seeing more dystopian themes, but still...
Equilibrium—think about that moment when they betray the protagonist and strip him down. His pulse is absolutely redlining on that monitor, while the people surrounding him look so smugly satisfied with themselves after what they've done to him, and then... nothing. Just a flat line.
Children of Men—where the previous movie felt a certain way, I found this one to be truly exceptional. What really sticks with me are those long, unbroken shots that feel like they were captured entirely in real-time. One of the most powerful moments is during the skirmish in the refugee camp between the military and the rebels; everything just grinds to a halt as everyone stands there, stunned, listening to the sound of a baby crying—the first one born in nearly twenty years—before the slaughter erupts all over again.
Jerry White29 said:GNU, you missed the mark again. Honestly, I’m not offended; I couldn't care less what you all think. That was simply one example demonstrating that what you're writing just isn't factual.
I should also mention that back before things changed significantly, one female member actually invited Ethan Barrett22—that high-flying crackpot and Guru—to come write in the "Gastronomy" subforum since that area is moderated. From what I can see, he managed to squeeze out exactly one post. Isn't it a little strange that a guy who loves to drone on about healthy eating refuses to post where he won't face any "Insult"? Or is the real issue that because it's moderated, people won't be allowed to talk about curing cancer with ten raw seeds or how carrot juice is practically identical to human blood?
Spot on. It really is weird that he stays away from the moderated subforum. 😛
Actually, that's exactly what I was getting at in that controversial post the Guru reported as a blatant Insult. Look, I am truly not bothered by some anonymous morons hurling insults at my family. And if I want to expand on that theme: some users here spend their time tearing families apart, obsessing over our wives' anatomy, sharing "advice" on books about female pleasure, or acting completely preoccupied with our manhood—hell, they even sing praises to it.
1. You constantly brag in every other post about having your little "ignore list," which is literally just you trolling different threads, and then—presto!—you're lightning-fast at quoting us the second you lose your cool. Oh, sure, "they told you" 😉
Just like how you usually derail entire discussions from post to post, throwing out insinuations about people being clones, claiming we're all paid actors, or singing songs about someone's anatomy—which is exactly why you got banned here in the first place. Right, because you decided on your own that your provocations were just "jokes." ☕
2. In my case, at least, your quoting is incredibly dishonest.
I did say I "didn't care what an idiot thought," but where is the rest of the quote? "who insulted my family
Oh, look at that. I didn't name anyone specifically, yet somehow you managed to identify yourself in that statement 😉, and now you've categorized this whole thing as an Insult. 🐔
While I find it amusing how this user keeps tripping over his own lies, I already knew that long ago. Honestly, I feel bad that one female member's private life is being dragged through the mud here, so I told the thread starter to drop it since nothing is going to be resolved anyway.
In my household, the breakdown is basically 4 to 0.5 in favor of atheism—my wife leans more towards being agnostic 😁.
We never ran into any issues back when we were in school, mostly because during religion class, the other kids would just hang out in the library on their computers. It actually got to the point where the kids stuck in religion class were legitimately jealous of them.😁
Sure, I’ll be taking my youngest along. If the biggest issue with this movie is just the skin tone of the lead actress, then we’re going to be just fine ☕
stormyrider28 said:Pure hate speech. The absolute worst kind. You could have responded with some actual decency instead of being this pathetic and hateful. If you think it’s okay to tell an older female member of this forum to go screw themselves, then I don't see the issue with Ibrahim's signature—he isn't even mentioning anyone or addressing anyone specifically.. It's ridiculous. If his signature was such a huge deal, then your behavior is more than enough reason for a permanent ban.
An "older female member"? Are we talking about that specific user who writes exclusively in the masculine gender, uses this cryptic style that avoids saying anything clearly, and then goes around labeling other users as fascists and chauvinists (while claiming they actually identify that way)?
Look, let's not play the victim card for this person. 😉
By the way, wasn't it that same person who brought up American veterans in a negative light? I can't quite recall the specifics.
stormyrider28 said:Now you finally know about the father since I actually quoted the post for you. What kind of mortal sin is it to call out someone for screwing over their own friend? What does that even have to do with this forum? And of course, there’s no link provided, right? Ethan Brooks59 was attacking him for that, while Abraham provided the links showing exactly how Ethan Brooks59 twisted the truth and lied. Are you going to provide a link this time, or are you just making things up again?
stormyrider28 said:Look, we all saw how that went down a long time ago. So, you’re starting this thread because you're obsessed with the fact that Abraham mentions Ethan Brooks59 in his signature as some kind of dig? That’s a little naive, don't you think? ...The reality is that in Abraham's signature, he isn't mentioning anyone from this forum at all.
Can you actually prove that?
Why aren't you just posting a link? And let's be clear, the issue here is an inappropriate signature and personal insults—just a reminder of what this is about.
Who someone chooses to ignore is their business, but insulting people is where we draw the line. Do you honestly think it's okay to talk about a user the way Ethan Brooks59 talked about Abraham and his late father? It's obvious he was targeting him specifically since he was replying to his post, whereas Abraham's signature doesn't mention a single soul from this site.
Do you really think that's acceptable behavior?
And that's how Ethan Brooks59 stayed so "dignified"... This is a prime example of crude insults while you're over here rambling about ignore lists and who is responding to whom.
I can't tell if you're genuinely incompetent or just playing dumb. I filed the report for a different reason: Abraham was insulting users through his signature (he even tweaked it slightly after being banned, then acted oblivious to the fact that it's still problematic), and I wanted to know if I could include something similar in my own signature without getting flagged. Since I post in other sub-forums moderated by different people, I wanted to clarify the rules so I wouldn't end up getting 🕺
From page 4 onwards, you can see how everyone started throwing mud at me. Then, while I was away on vacation, you all kept going, sticking to the tired old theory that Roger Cooper91 and Ethan Brooks59 are the same person.
People are talking about losers who can't even function properly. Abraham repeatedly said he didn't care what the users he had on ignore thought of him (he even left names 🤣 right under the poem, though he claims it's "coincidental" and doesn't refer to anyone on the forum)🤣
3. Some users have already been asking why Abraham suddenly stopped being so aggressive and deleted the signature regarding Ethan Brooks59's family (and mine too, considering you guys still insist we're clones) the second he stepped away from the unmoderated PDF section here. Let's call it what it is—he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but let it stand as an illustration. It's interesting how you haven't actually denied that happened. 😉
4. I have absolutely zero problem with Ethan Brooks59 getting banned, but watch out, Lorelei—you and the rest of you who were attacking my kids are now trying to play the victim and act like saints, even though you did the exact same thing. That's the only reason I spoke up. 😉
Good grief, gnu, I don’t know what his deal is, but Ibrahim himself admitted he laughed his head off when his friend came down with the flu, and then spent days making fun of him for it.
I had a hard enough time swallowing that, but honestly? It was absolutely revolting when he wrote about his relative passing away from cancer and actually decorated the post with smiley faces... 🤦
Based on the links Richard Ramirez87 posted, I’m assuming Ibrahim said something insulting about another user's family on a different forum, then quickly deleted it just so he could jump into a thread over here.
What’s actually hilarious, though, is that they somehow decided to target my family instead, using them as a way to take shots at Ethan Brooks59. 🤣
stormyrider28 knows exactly what's going on here, since he just launched a full-blown crusade against me and my personal life right before my vacation started. 😉
Hey, stormyrider28, do you really think it's okay to pretend people are on your ignore list while simultaneously using your signature to insult their families?
Richard Ramirez87, what exactly did Ibrahim - PR say about Ethan Brooks59's family? 😁 I was away on vacation so I missed the whole thing, but I see you guys bringing it up. I noticed they were insulting my family too, assuming we were the same user. I'm genuinely curious—how bad did these idiots get with the insults against Monty and my folks? 😁
Let's take it to the DMs so we don't hijack this thread.
By the way, let me clear up one more "crime" people keep accusing me of:
Call Klistirk whatever you want, but I’m just using the nickname from that trip we supposedly went on together.
It’s funny how the same person digs their own grave by citing some nurse in Aspen who isn't even a nurse—just like those various doctors and scientists that pseudo-alternative gurus love to quote, only for it to turn out they were faking their credentials or got totally discredited for lying. Honestly, that pathetic, unstable individual is the perfect symbol for the pseudo-science crowd trying to force their way in and act like experts on things they don't understand at all.
Ibrahim pointed to that one miserable, mentally unstable person in Aspen as proof that medicine is useless. Who did I offend by saying that? Am I sorry? Yes. Does it involve certain mental health issues? Sure. And who did I actually hurt? 🤷
On the flip side, pseudo-alternative types constantly point to weirdos who lied about their degrees or forged data. Whatever. ☕
So, was the topic really about our butts being red as tomatoes??? 😁
Check the links in my signature; that’s just a tiny sample since all your gems are disappearing, and honestly, I actually find these ones kind of endearing 👍
Look, here we go again—why are you lying? Did you actually call me that fat, greasy Kremenko who went along on Ibrahim's supposed little outing? Yes or No?
And did I just sit there and take that crap (I even put it in my profile description 😉), or did I let it slide?
stormyrider28 said:Check out these other posts where people are just tearing each other apart. Take a look at what these guys actually spend their time doing and what kind of content they're putting out... what's even the point of any of this?
It’s the same story with all of them—nothing but ad hominem attacks and insults from these people.
Look, don't go cherry-picking quotes to suit your narrative. Did you start this whole thing by making sexual comments about people's butts? 😁
And did you all start with those graphic descriptions of crap and assholes? Honestly, it’s embarrassing even having to post what you guys have written here.😉
I'll be the first to admit it: after I tried my best to actually stick to the topics, I started getting insulted in every way imaginable (including being called a "fat, greasy loser," if I recall correctly, stormyrider28). So, I figured I'd just take it as a joke on your part and join in on the nonsense... but apparently, you guys didn't like that one bit.😁
