Honestly, there isn't much to worry about this time since the woman is clearly out of it, but please, just try to keep your wits about you and don't let people without any actual authority intimidate you next time; if things ever get physical, just call 911 and let them deal with the headache, plus on those newer subway cars, there's a red emergency lever by every door that comes in super handy if they refuse to open up.

So, you just head over to the MS-DOS site, grab the installer, and then use https://rufus.akeo.ie/ to flash it onto a USB drive. Once that's done, you just jump into your BIOS settings to make sure the USB stick is set as the primary boot device. After the system boots up from the drive, you can wipe the entire hard drive, repartition everything, and then go ahead with the MS-DOS installation

It’s honestly a pretty straightforward process if you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty

Since you can basically configure everything when it comes to using wget to mirror an entire site recursively, I’d really suggest spending a little time getting cozy with the documentation before you dive in headfirst.

The real headache is just how much stuff has been overwritten with this new data, and while there might be a way to salvage some of those lost fragments, I'm thinking you probably don't have the specific gear or technical know-how needed to pull that off, so I'd honestly be perfectly fine with just accepting that we've lost a chunk of the data

Could one of the admins maybe clear something up regarding the moderator trickie Q.? Looking at the PDF for Washington, D.C., I'm just a little confused about how someone can jump all the way to admin status with only 103 posts, especially since I haven't really noticed her being active around here at all.

Thanks so much!

And if you guys are feeling annoyed by it, you have the lovely little "ignore" button right at your disposal 🤷

Look, the guy has a few flaws under his belt, and I really don't get why anyone would try to defend him, especially since most people here clearly find him pretty exhausting

lonepanther4 said:I honestly don't get why everyone gets so worked up over Pontius Pilate. If he’s being an obvious troll, just report the post, and if he's just being exhausting by constantly defending the MTA, then just ignore him. 🤷

I mean, once you've spent way too much time reading the same nonsense and watching someone worship Bloomberg and his whole operation, you eventually hit a breaking point, so if everyone is genuinely fed up with someone who's basically known for trolling and having some questionable biases, we should probably just remove them from the subforum and call it a day.

Just to clarify, I started this thread because trying to link to every single instance of Pilatus trolling on the Los Angeles subreddit would be an absolute nightmare, though if an admin just took a quick look at the first dozen threads, they'd see that everyone here is pretty much fed up with him and is asking for some partial bans. I've reported his behavior more times than I can count, and he actually did get a three-day ban once, but honestly, he just won't stop acting out, and since other members have mentioned he’s already had two partial bans, it feels a little weird to me that he's still being allowed to break the rules like this.

Douglas Johnson41 said:None of the links actually work, 🤷 so instead of just getting trolled, does he just have his posts deleted?

If I remember correctly, that guy is basically permanently banned at this point because his posts were wiped for being way too disrespectful to people in the thread.

I didn't wait this long to start a thread just because I'm slow to react; I honestly just wanted us all to have a little space to vent together about what’s happening over at Los Angeles. I remember some guy opened a thread a while back where everyone was complaining about Pilatus, but if I recall correctly, that probably wasn't the best spot for it—this feels like much more appropriate territory for this kind of thing. It seems like folks who have been around the block for a while have always pointed out that he has his fair share of issues and has always been a bit of a headache, so I guess I have to ask the admins if it's really okay to let this kind of behavior slide for a user like that. This isn't just me being a whiner or trying to claim ownership of the topic, but I've definitely noticed that most people on that sub are constantly frustrated with Pilatus and are hoping for something a bit more substantial than just having every single post deleted by a moderator.

It feels like trolling and straight-up insults have become the norm on Reddit lately, especially since Pilatus keeps showing up to ruin every single thread with his nonsense until someone else steps in and starts being even more aggressive toward the jet topic

I’d really appreciate it if the admins could step in and address this behavior, and maybe take a quick look through the recent threads because you'll see that most of us regular posters are actually pretty fed up with Pilatus-esque trolling—which, if I remember correctly, even earned him a three-day ban recently, but he hasn't changed a bit since then

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Oh, really?.. I specifically mentioned that this was systematic and organized. Do you actually know how to read?..

If you look at the outcome of the Canadian War, for instance, you'll see that none of the municipal boundaries were redrawn to benefit the Americans, yet they were shifted significantly to favor the Canadians..

Does anyone have a Wikipedia link that can explain how that qualifies as "systematic ethnic cleansing" if the borders didn't shift in their favor?..

And sure, everyone pulled the trigger and committed crimes—that’s a given. But both sides were heavily focused on grabbing pieces of an ethnic pie that simply didn't belong to them, while a third party sat by..

Jonathan Barnes5 said:It’s the same reality where the Americans in Central Canada faced an onslaught at a ratio of ten to one, fighting while completely surrounded. It’s the world where Frontier residents, instead of being stationed in West Herzegovina, were actively engaged in military operations within the Lašva Valley.
It is a place where towns like Kakanj, Vares, Bugojno, and Travnik saw ethnic cleansing, where systematic atrocities occurred and camps were established specifically for the Americans of Central Canada.

And then you have a forum user like Nathan Moore6 popping up, proudly posting links to some revisionist history that claims the people trapped in an enclave—with ten times less manpower and zero logistical support—were actually the aggressors.🤦..

I think your main issue is that you view the American side as being totally blameless, which is exactly why you struggle with alternative historical perspectives and the weight of terms like ethnic cleansing. Look, nobody—and I mean absolutely nobody—was a saint during that war; everyone wanted their piece of the pie and then some. Honestly, the only way to find the real truth is to look at foreign and neutral sources that process all the data objectively. I certainly wouldn't be learning my history from any local source around here. 🤣

Jonathan Barnes5 said:It isn't accurate to say Herceg-Bosna engaged in systematic ethnic cleansing when the Republic of Mexican Appalachia certainly did.
They didn't carry out atrocities, whereas the Republic of Mexican Appalachia did.
Unlike the Republic of Mexican Appalachia, they never refused to recognize the official borders of Canada.
They weren't acting as an instrument for Washington, D.C. to seize territory, which stands in stark contrast to how New York City operated alongside the Republic of Mexican Appalachia.
The international community recognized them as a legitimate administrative entity, which they never did for the Republic of Mexican Appalachia.
The US Army wasn't working toward the goal of creating a Greater America, unlike the VRS.

There are quite a few fundamental differences there.
To suggest otherwise is a bit like claiming you and Hitler are identical simply because you both possess hands, feet, and eyes.
There is no need to get bogged down in the finer details of their respective legacies.
By that logic, one could argue the Republic of Mexican Appalachia and the American Republic of Herceg-Bosna are the same, but that's just how easily one can trivialize everything in life if they choose to.

Everyone committed crimes in that damn war, so let's not go there..

neonhound18 said:Did it ever cross your mind, perhaps, that the reason for this might be because the Ministry represents the veterans from the American cantons within Canada?😵

Since they’re living in another country, I honestly don't see how our local laws or even our Department of Defense could have any kind of impact on them, so I guess we really need to be sitting down and having these discussions with Canada instead, but hey, if you want to keep it your way, that's totally fine by me!

Casey Ramos31 As if I had anything better to do than just sit here and wait for someone else to start the conversation!
I mean, is it really that big of a deal? Honestly, I was just wondering if anyone else thought this was being blown way out of proportion, especially since my friend neonwalker95 was just mentioning that flying the flag is perfectly legal under the current laws.

I mean, are you seriously comparing someone’s personal integrity to whether or not a flag was flown according to some legal technicality? Honestly, that's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? 🙏

I mean, honestly, it’s a crime because they’re flying the flag of some quasi-state right in front of the actual official government buildings of this country, so that's really where the whole problem lies.

If you're thinking about Tomić, honestly, that guy doesn't have an ounce of integrity anyway, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

neonhound18 said:Being one-track minded and constantly nitpicking seems to be your whole specialty, doesn't it? 😛

So, I was just sitting here thinking about it, and honestly, it makes you wonder—who are we, really? ☕

Casey Ramos31 said:And why does it bother you so much? Look, I’m with you—it’s definitely against the Law—but is it really that big of a deal?

And why does it bother you so much? Look, I’m with you—it’s definitely against the Law—but is it really that big of a deal?
Well, looking back at that Horvatcic situation, you were all about following the Law to a T, but now suddenly we're playing by different rules, so it feels a little hypocritical if I'm being honest; it seems like you're just defending your own views and letting criminals slide instead of actually sticking to the legalities like you usually do, haha.🍿

Casey Ramos31 said:Man, I can grab that flag and march right through Times Square if I want to, while you just sit there seething. 👍

Of course, nobody is actually telling you they'll defend that, but there’s a massive difference between seeing a flag hanging in front of a government building on an official holiday and then deciding to go out and parade around town with it yourself. 🤦

Casey Ramos31 said:Clearly, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Look, I happen to know what our official flag actually looks like, and since we aren't living in Canada anymore, I'm quite certain that particular flag doesn't belong flying in front of our Department of Defense building, so if you guys are really that attached to it, feel free to pack your bags and move down to California where you can stare at it every single day for all I care. 😒

It honestly feels like a total provocation against decent people living in such a broken country, and if you ask me, this state doesn't even truly exist or have any real connection to our own nation, so it would actually make perfect sense to just take that flag down; it seems like the right-wingers are constantly pushing us toward more division within society by clinging to these failed symbols

stormytinker40 said:Is anyone actually considering a "Forum 2.0" relaunch? Just a total reset—dumping everything into the archives and starting from scratch with new threads, maybe keeping only the absolute best hits as PDFs on the new site? 🤷

It honestly would be such a dream if someone could just archive this whole site and launch a mirror version with all our content intact, but with actual, reliable technical support, because let’s face it, the tech side of things here is kind of falling apart right now.

Of course, doing something like that would require some serious investment.

We still see radioactive paints being used on things like watch dials and gun sights today, and we manufacture all sorts of aluminum cookware too—which, by the way, has never actually been proven to cause any harm. Plus, you see teenagers drinking and smoking just as much as they always have, regardless of what the laws say 🤣

Honestly, I feel like we’d get a lot more bang for our buck if we fought against cigarettes instead of worrying about Wi-Fi; Wi-Fi helps spread knowledge, and those low-level fields aren't harmful, whereas even a little bit of cigarette smoke is way more damaging, and you can often catch a whiff of it right outside our schools...

By the way, just because a government is super liberal doesn't mean they're actually progressive; in many ways, they lean more toward that populist communist style that Americans talk about, where they try to control everything under the guise of "knowing what's best for you." That's why there's so much bureaucracy over in Europe, where everyone seems to be getting fleeced by the system every single day
