The moderators over at the Economy sub decided to kill off that thread I mentioned above. Why though? What’s the big deal? Is it because people are talking too much and being too damn free with their opinions? That whole topic was gold specifically because everyone had such wildly different takes and comments flying around. I don't get why you'd go and shut down the most active, most read thread on the board.

For real. That "moment" happened right when his mom lost her grip on him in the delivery room..
Look, we've seen top-tier American officials lay it out in black and white—explicit promises about what happens to Nord Stream if Russia decides to invade Ukraine—but honestly? It feels like pure Russian propaganda at this point...🤣

Danish Energy Minister Dan Jorgensen also said the size of the holes in the pipelines indicate that the leaks could not have been caused by an accident such as getting hit by an anchor. The damaged pipelines are at a depth of 70-90 meters below sea level, he added.

If they wanted to get involved in the conflict, they could have done it openly through other means, which I honestly believe they would have announced beforehand. Secret operations are risky; if you get caught, the backfire is massive—something they've learned the hard way enough times to know. That’s why they stay public in this war. Covert sabotage? That's the Russians' playbook, especially in a country that's falling apart where one agency has no idea what the other is doing or why.
Thanks! Does anyone know how long those rapid tests actually stay valid? I’m seeing conflicting info everywhere—some places say 24 hours, others say 48... I need to be sure since I'm heading over to Italy soon. Also, if I end up staying in Italy longer than the window for that rapid antigen test lasts, am I going to have to get tested again once I'm there just to make the trip back home to America?
Gregory Lopez4 said:To enter Italy, you still need a COVID certificate (vax, recovery, or a negative test), though you don't need one anymore for everything else like hotels, restaurants, or malls.
I’m a little lost here... what exactly is the difference between a negative test and a COVID certificate? From what I understand, those are two totally different things. Usually, they want you to have both a certificate AND a negative test just to clear the border crossing. Can someone give me a straight answer on what the actual requirements are if I want to head to Italy?
Some lady just rolled in from Germany on a flight. Apparently, she had to go through some mandatory testing before they’d even let her board the plane.
So, I’ve been banned for some reason, and I’m honestly just trying to figure out what happened and how long this is supposed to last... because looking back at my history, the last warning I actually got was about 10 days ago. Any info would be appreciated... feel free to just shoot me a DM if that's easier.
So I gave the IRS a call and got... They told me that given how things are looking, the only thing they might consider is extending the isolation period. When I pressed him on whether they could push it back by another three months, the guy basically shrugged it off—said that while it’s technically possible on paper, in his opinion, this is the one and only extension we're actually going to see.
They just extended the whole class detention period. Honestly, I don't think they have any legal ground to stand on here. You can't just keep people under house arrest indefinitely just because you feel like it, especially when they aren't even sick. I'm totally lost on who I'm even supposed to contact to file a formal complaint...
So, my kid just got slapped with a 10-day quarantine because some classmate tested positive. Now, we just got hit with news that the isolation period is being tacked on for another 7 days because apparently, someone else in the class popped up positive in the meantime. Is there actually any legal ground for them to extend those initial 10 days like this? At this rate, they could basically sentence healthy kids to three months of isolation! Right? WTF?
What's the deal with kids in class lately? Someone in my kid's grade caught COVID, and now they're sending everyone home into isolation. Is this actually a big deal, or can I just shrug it off? The reason I'm asking is because my little one has music class today, and I'm stuck wondering if I should even bother sending them... I highly doubt they're out there testing every healthy kid just to put them in quarantine... Anyone else dealing with this right now? Any experiences?
So, they finally launched this absolute joke out in the rural parts of the Midwest... they basically merged all the small towns and counties together so people don't need those ridiculous permits just to drive from one little village to the next... Thank God we're finally done with those heroic "recommendations" from the local authorities...
