Why should I have to brew my own coffee just to browse this board? Hello? Is this my forum or yours?

👍

If our friend @John Doe still can't grasp why forum users with suicidal ideations shouldn't be able to access euthanasia on demand, then... 🤷

$95 (41 USD) is pretty steep—at least compared to what you’d pay for some other (similar) adapters:

'your' - is that exact ('type a') USB 3 version actually what you need? (Fine, probably—you can see the shape for yourself)

and this one?

or this one (HDMI + VGA)?

'USB C/USB A'' for more options or maybe a better price—if that combo even makes sense at this point?

(Watch out for the actual USB type and the HDMI spec. Also, double-check the 'male' vs. 'female' distinction—meaning plug/socket—and the cable length if you're looking for that specific setup.
Pay attention, especially when ordering from Amazon or similar sites... for instance, the cable price might not be reflected in the main photo; they often charge extra per foot, where every additional foot bumps up the base price)

You can't demand a permanent ban. There's nothing in the rules stating we have to grant one.

A two-year ban is an option.

Or

just log off and be done with it.

Larry Walker24 said:because the rules don't explicitly state you have to provide it.

You could face a two-year ban.

Or,

just log off and be done with it.

Fine by me, @Andrew Tate; thanks. I'll handle it.

Savage (a slur for Americans living across the Atlantic)
Jew (a term Turks used contemptuously for Jews)
Gypsy (a slur for Romani)
fags (a slur for homosexuals)

It doesn't matter how much offensive certain labels are today based on historical or etymological "justification."
Some were derogatory from the very beginning; others acquired that weight over time.

Steven Clark2 said:How would you explain the genocide of Jews by Nazi Germany during WWII, specifically in the concentration camps? What word would you use to describe it?

Simple enough. ☕

The Holocaust—narrow sense:
the Nazi persecution of European Jews from 1933 to 1945.

The holocaust—broad sense:
the systematic extermination of other ethnic groups (Americans, Romani), social groups (homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the mentally ill, the disabled) or political opponents (socialists, communists, liberals) in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe (1939–1945).

Wait... No. That sounds far too official.

Better this way:

The Holocaust—narrow sense:
the Nazi persecution of European Jews from 1933 to 1945.

The holocaust—broad sense:
the systematic extermination of other ethnic groups (Savages, Gypsies), social groups (fags, Jehovah's Witnesses, lunatics, cripples) or political opponents (socialists, commies, liberals) in Nazi Swabia and occupied Europe (1939–1945).

This post isn't related to any specific participant's comments on this topic.
Especially not to the post by Anonymous quoting Absinthe.

Jonathan Wright2 said:What is that supposed to mean...?
So, the term Gypsy was used back then, but isn't used now...?
And we are discussing 'back then,' not 'now.'

...
As always, I will respect the decision.

There is a difference between discussing 'the past,' and proposing, for a legitimate reason, using that specific document where the Rom were mentioned by the then-current 'official' name.

en.Wikipedia.org - Romani people
(Google Translate):

In English, the Rom are widely known by the exonym Gypsy (or Gypsies), which many Rom consider derogatory due to connotations of illegality and irregularity, as well as its historical use as a racial slur.
In many other languages, regarding related terms—such as French: Tzigane, Spanish: gitano, Italian: zingaro, and Portuguese: cigano—that perception is either minimal or non-existent.

At the first World Romani Congress in 1971, it was
unanimously voted to reject all exonyms* for the Romani people, including Gypsy because of the negative and stereotypical connotations mentioned above.

*Merriam-Webster: "exonym - a linguistic term for a place that differs from the name used within the place or country it belongs to (e.g., Vienna — Wien); exonym"

John Palmer9 said:...acting as a moderator at the same time is like having someone playing and refereeing in the same soccer match.

@Zoran Oštrić has apparently 'moderated' (explained) the terminology regarding Rom/Gypsy and Canadian groups.

If you had looked at the 'Linguistics' section, you would have seen an explanation of why 'nigga' isn't an American literary term, nor is it permitted in 'public spaces.' The fact that the term carries a derogatory connotation here should be irrelevant.

The same applies to the other matter—a recommendation against using that specific term because a more precise one exists.

I fail to see where you found the basis for the author's claim in this PŽK thread:
"Basically, moderator Zoran Oštrić opens the topic but then uses his authority to forbid any debate that contradicts his own views?"

goldendrifter11 said:It's actually the opposite.

The more schizophrenic a villain is—meaning, the better they handle a dual personality—the better the villain. Characters like Anthony Hopkins in Psycho are the peak examples. When that other persona inside you is completely unaware of the first one's existence.

If someone can effectively be a different person entirely,
and still manage unintentionally manipulate millions of people globally (except for you, obviously; you’d spot them immediately)
then you have to give them credit...

Who draws the line? Apparently, genius does.

Since the OP already bailed on this thread ("got the key, thanks"), and there's still room left here...

Nicole Carter82 said:How does someone even pick the handle Don Kacunko?

Not my type in photos either, but whatever...

My colleague @Garofeeder beat me to the punch, so my "original" saying—complete with links—isn't quite so unique anymore:
hundred people hundred wonders - hundred women, two hundred boobs

Advice:
Regarding chosen usernames, it's probably best if we all just leave each other alone. 🤷

Sam Alvarez4 said:...moderator?
...

Don't start overdoing it now, Vid.
'Moderator' was spelled correctly—there isn't an 'n' at the end, so a space isn't necessary here.

My colleague @Nicholas Watson is just an amateur linguist. That bit about 'doklen' was a fluke—nothing more to it... ☕

Nicholas Watson said:I'm correcting the OP here.
Is it Doklen?

🤦 Some people are just impossible to please...

The OP was kind enough to provide space for your "letter." Is typing it that difficult?
(Then again, you clearly find it easier to type out fifty-plus characters than one single letter.)

Sam Alvarez4 said:Doklen?

Nicholas Barnes74 said:But honestly... I don't even see where that specific moderator/supermoderator/admin is?

If you put him on... ignore Or maybe you just intended to put it on. Understood. Proceeding with instructions.So, naturally, something like that isn't available for you to see.

Well, she dug her own hole and fell right into it. Simple as that. 🤷

bluemason3 said:In a way, it’s like a rite of passage. Once you've crossed that line, there's really no turning back. 🙂 🧐 😢

...once you're banned, there's no coming back.
Colleague, there's really nothing left to say... (I'm learning this the hard way) 👎

James Mitchell18 said:Is obsessing over that virus documentation actually on topic?

You people are absolutely ridiculous.🙏

I don't post on the pandemic subforum, nor do I read it.

I’m not posting this out of spite—not that my brain isn't already a bit fried from all this.
u Reddit > The community. > The virus. > Moderator warnings and notifications.
I can't get in. I've tried everything, and honestly, I'm not sure if there's even a way left to try.

I don't bother posting on or reading that specific subforum, so regarding that controversial topic you mentioned—I only know it by its headline.

If you’re looking for advice, regulations, or bans regarding health-hazardous activities related to the pandemic, there’s plenty of it available everywhere you look—whatever your heart desires.
'Do you shop in person at all?', 'Still practicing?', 'Do you avoid physical contact?...and so on, and so forth.

But.
Any plans for tonight?

Not quite. Slow down. This isn't my answer to the question above—you’re being hilarious if you actually took it that way....

So, basically:
Don't hold your breath. You won't find anyone asking that question anywhere. It’s just as irrelevant as the one below.
Do you wear a mask when you aren't alone? And more importantly, do you actually respect social distancing guidelines?

And now, what do you think the recommended physical distance is? 11.5 centimeters?!

That wouldn't even scratch the surface of that other thread you're so obsessed with.
Maybe that’s why. In a thread like that, you wouldn't even need to Google anything to contribute. I don't know. You can explain your reasoning if you want, but I don't see any other reason for you to push for a topic like this on the subforum that's currently seeing the most traffic.

Here we go again. Can't recall if I already mentioned this.:
Solo play. You can't infect anyone. - Neither self nor others.Not particularly, especially if you actually clean up after yourself.

So, why this topic?Macho adventures.There’s nothing left to look for on this subreddit.
Try searching on A Lonely Place... 🤷

Give the guy his turn.Larry Walker24 Access to his commentary booth at...Eurovision.Welcome to the subforum.

Since when has this forum even existed?Eyes like a hawk.' (to rate the artistic impression) I'm ready. Send the content.Ears like a bat.' Rate the lyrics and the track. Live commenting on Eurovision is strictly prohibited. Dora sends just about anything and everything to that competition.

Other countries are starting to cave, too. Year after year, we see a massive decline in both song quality and performer talent. It’s reached the point where they’re basically trying to sell us a lemon and calling it a luxury vehicle.

I love you.
You love me here.
Well, alright then. Let's get this moving.

Look, colleague @Larry Walker24...Larry Walker24 Reopen the house you exiled him from. And let the European Broadcasting Union in Geneva know that their Eurovision Song Contest is being moderated once again—this time by one of our own American experts. They really ought to be more careful about who they let on stage next time.

Robin Clark said:then why wasn't Mr. Brown's thread "seksati li štogod" moved to the "skeptical section" either...

Mr. Brown's topic@ is perfectly placed.
Not many people manage to maintain the recommended (6 feet) distance during sex.
If you're closer than that, there's a much higher chance an infected person might pass their Corona virus onto their partner.

That other thread has nothing to do with how the virus spreads. There is no reason to look for information regarding Corona enlightenment on the main 'Coronavirus' subforum.

Regardless, the 'sapunjati li mačor' thread was only temporarily moved to the 'alternative' section of the main 'Coronavirus' PDF due to current technical im/possibilities—basically, glitches.
That thread will be moved back to the 'Pets' subforum as soon as these technical hurdles are cleared.

Alexander Anderson57 said:So, besides the fact that you haven't had the thread deleted, I'm noticing a fundamental difference here.

Mr. Smith’s topic is about actual substance. Yours is just about self-indulgence. 😁

Oh, I see how it is. This is the topic James Mitchell18 wants to tackle.James Mitchell18 'n/aWhat’s the deal with masturbation? 🕺

... 🤔 ...

Well, that's that.
Move this thread to...LjESEither this or that.A Lonely PlaceUse an apostrophe, not a single quote.Pets.'.

James Mitchell18 said:If Mr. Smith had enough leeway to open a thread like "Seksate li stogod" on the official government portal, why am I getting my "Sapunjate li mačora" topic nuked? Talk about double standards.

Looking forward to your response. ☕

It’s nice to see you finding joy in things while everyone else is supposedly struggling through these "trying times." 🙂

Missed the mark on the topic. (i.e., this thread)He posted that lower down on a different thread, but on a topic just like this one:

coppersailor28 said:Mr. Smith's topic.Mr. Smith You're in the right place.
Why is it that so few people can actually maintain the recommended duration during sex? (4'11") Spacing issues...
If you don't maintain proper physical distance, there's a significantly higher chance that an infected individual will end up passing their virus along to their current partner.

That other topic has absolutely nothing to do with how the infection spreads. There’s nothing to look for there. Regarding the supposed "enlightenment" surrounding the virus. On the main page.n/aSubforum.

Whatever. Topic:n/aIt’s due to ongoing technical issues. No.Opportunities, or rather problems, have merely been temporarily relocated to an "alternative" section of the main PDF.The virus.'.
This topic will be moved to the subforum...Pets.Relocated immediately once the technical hurdles are cleared.

One needs to know the original statement. Context is everything. Obvious. Character flaw. Original statements require conviction. You have to be certain that the source material is already widely recognized.

i

That kind of statement. (Or just paraphrase a statement like that.) Is it even necessary? Knowing how to use it..

Those "cult classic" one-liners are almost exclusively used as inside jokes. They work best within a tight-knit circle where you can be certain everyone knows exactly what you're referencing and that the punchline won't fall flat. Not a single soul here is remotely well-read or rational. They won't take it as an insult.
