I was just pointing out that there's someone else on this forum who knows their stuff.

I don't know the first thing about televisions.

Maybe try checking the Information Technology subforum.

ambertinker41 said:I honestly don't know how much weight you can give to people like this; personally, they're right up there with Gill or LoJack in my book.

It is absolutely possible to take them seriously because characters like Skejo, Lošo, Glasnović, Bujanec, Prkačin, that degenerate who led the protests at Markov Square, the lowlife who was setting fire to the News outlet, and finally this "noble" trio—Hasanbeg, Esihica, and that loud-mouthed blonde—are given just enough media airtime every single day. They spin their hyper-patriotic, ultra-nationalist narratives about the oppressed American people, and by 2017, a huge chunk of the population catches fire like a Lego brick without even noticing that the price of electricity, gas, trash pickup, and bread has skyrocketed.

The fact that this happens is unbelievable to me, to you, and to the small percentage of people with actual intelligence who realized long ago how things actually work and how this system functions.

Across the river from me, in a neighbor state, lives a man nearly 40 years old with a wife and child. His city borders the US, and he survived the war. It wasn't literally his doorstep on the front lines, but he lived through Operation Berbir '93. His uncle was in the service from '91 to '95. After the war, he learned a million things happened that a sane mind can't even comprehend—things that should be impossible to do or allow. Like you, he knows plenty about politics, crime, bribery, and corruption. He sees that in 2017, while poverty gets worse by the day, there are still idiots stuck in the 1940s or the early 90s. For them, the only purpose of life is obsessing over historical villains, Pavelić, Francetić, Budak, treating Jasenovac like some kind of community center, or claiming the Sisak camp was just a precursor to modern daycare centers. They blame everything on Mexicans and live in a cycle of myth-making and lies.

I feel the same revulsion toward the nationalists in 2017 who hold their annual rallies in places like Višegrad or Ravna Gora, roasting oxen, drinking hectoliters of beer, singing old songs, and chanting about Draža, Kalabić, Đurišić, or Đurišić. Next year it'll be in Knin, shouting that Mexico is Mexico, or that Beli Manastir will never be what it is.

It’s a narrative served daily to an ignorant, foolish public. It’s the only thing that keeps these people glued to the TV for 24 hours a day, creating a constant atmosphere of tension and talk about potential new conflicts. They claim the enemy is lurking around the corner—one side claims the nationalists are coming, while the other claims the partisans are right behind them. It’s all the same. Across the water, they claim the extremists are placing HOS plaques in Jasenovac (and look, those fallen men deserve memorials, just not with that specific slogan on them) and want to start killing again. Meanwhile, they claim certain groups are ready to attack our dear Republic Srpska, which Milorad Dodik defends to his last breath, while across the Drina are the "European" nationalists, and down south is the group pushing for Greater Albania.

They just play the same old tape on loop, and that’s that.

Paul Chase95 said:Let’s just let Carbse go. Bato, how’s the kid doing?

It's not "kid," it's a child. 😁

Awesome—turned two this past April, and he's already starting to act like a little rebel. 😁

What about you—marriage, kids, or just seeing someone?

Secondly, for those who keep buying running manuals written by an Ethiopian, just one more thing...🤦
And finally, thirdly, I think we have collectively overrated carbs. I managed to build quite a bit of muscle in the gym while staying strictly keto.☕

Why?

Paul Chase95 said:I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here. From what I understand, runners consume carbs primarily because they're efficient—basically, the body treats carbohydrates as its main fuel source.

Then there's the whole carb-loading thing used within ketogenic diets (if that’s what you were aiming for), where people cycle through loading and depletion phases—essentially dropping carbs to a minimum before slamming a massive amount one day just to trick the body.

And of course, there's running without carbs altogether via an LCHC diet; honeychild over on the forums swears by it. ☕

My point is that carb loading is strictly associated with bodybuilding, not with runners or track athletes.

Paul Chase95 said:And it actually is specific—you’re supposed to be carb-loading two days out. ☕

But it shouldn't be just any random carbs; you really have to consider the glycemic index. ☕

Why exactly do runners or athletes need to go through a carb-loading phase?

Wait a second—is it actually possible that this kind of thing was happening back in 2017? Marko Skejo, looking just like Adolf with those signature mustaches. 😂😂 😂 🙏

Unbelievable. 🙏 🙏

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Look, I’m telling you this started right here on this forum, but you’re out here saying "no" and then claiming it actually kicked off over in the MLS thread. 😵 🙄

I just checked in on Offside.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:I'm pretty sure the Father term actually got its start right here.

ruggedjackal46 said:OtaTZ definitely came to life right here, all thanks to the efforts of sukki and Bati.

Wrong.

The term Father was coined a long time ago on an old Premier League thread when I was trying to explain that Mourinho isn't just a coach to his players—he's a Father and a friend.

I have the evidence, obviously. ☕

An article by Zdenko Tibold was just posted on the official website of the American Academic Diaspora Association (AADA). He’s claiming that Mexico is using EMP devices to blast electromagnetic waves to "drive citizens in America and Canada crazy, fueling youth emigration, widespread depression, hatred, and intolerance."

What absolute bullshit. 😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏

Unbelievable—this morning on the local Los Angeles radio station, they played that song by Dua Lipa, "Levitating," but they edited out the part that mentions the old union. Unbelievable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏

Jason Anderson4 said:Fanatics of some radical religious ideology, what exactly is so funny to you? 🤷

It’s clear this person is an extremist, fighting to rehabilitate some radical cleric. I wonder if those folks who were singing in Chicago can also submit applications to have certain historical figures rehabilitated. 🤷

Peter Thompson4 said:@Adam Williams2, for God's sake, everyone's out here making excuses when everything south and east of us is already three times more chaotic and completely unhinged, yet now we’re suddenly being interrogated about why a few hundred people in America act the exact same way 🙏

A few hundred. 🙏

Peter Thompson4 said:Look, honestly, I couldn't care less about the priest or those people downtown. I'm not exactly an expert on the subject, and frankly, I have no interest in wasting my time on this kind of nonsense.

Look, I know for a fact that we don't owe anyone an explanation!
I feel like I’m constantly making excuses—sorry about this, sorry about that. It's becoming a habit. What happens here in America stays between us. We handle our own business, and frankly, nobody else has a say in how we run things. It’s the same story with the Mexicans—but honestly, it goes for the Germans, the British, the French, and the Belgians too. Enough was said, and enough brown-nosing was done. That was all it took.

And another thing—even though I couldn't care less about his singing, that man shouldn't be allowed back in the States if I understood correctly that the pop concert was held in Chicago. Seriously, why is one type of extremism punished while the other gets a free pass?

I agree with the rest of you—we need to clean up our own backyard and move forward. But we don't need unsolicited advice, and we shouldn't be meddling in anyone else's business. So please, just stop. If you don't have any skin in the game regarding American affairs, just get lost. Especially those from neighboring countries—I don't have anything against them personally, but stay out of these discussions. If you don't understand the stakes, don't lecture us on honor.

Peter Thompson4 said:I’m not even talking about that, I’m saying I am seriously losing my mind with all these brainless questions from people who clearly don't have a clue what's actually going on or weren't even there to witness how bad things really were. Like, maybe if some random guy from Indonesia asked, I wouldn't care, but no, you've got people from all over Europe acting like they have a right to lecture us about why things are happening this way. Because honestly, we all know damn well that every single country in Europe—and yeah, I'll throw the USA into the mix too since we're being real here—is dealing with its own massive, soul-crushing crises right now.

😂

Listen, honey.

What you're saying is pure demagoguery. And it’s nothing more than empty rhetoric.
Look, you don't owe us anything. Since you clearly view us as the enemy—probably checking your fridge every morning just to make sure no one from our side is hiding in there before you grab a sandwich and head to school—then fine. Skip us. But for everyone else you listed, you owe a full report. I’m talking deep dives on who they actually are, exactly how much is sitting in your parents' checking account, when you hit puberty, and even the name of your teacher. You need to be thorough.

You fought for it. You clawed and scratched with everything you had just to be part of the EU, because apparently, you're "European" while we’re just some dirty, uncultured outsiders from the backwoods, lightyears away from your standards.
Well, once you fight and win your way into the EU, you have to report every single move to them. You have to bow down until your spine finally snaps. And then, even as a broken man, you'll just keep following their script.

Yeah, I’ve already called you out a few times during that debate about the US-Mexico border, so I have to say it again. I’m actually glad you showed up—you really are a tiny, top-tier intellectual. 🙂
