It is actually quite simple. I included all those parties because they are all opposed to the European Union.

The FBI, the Democratic Party, and JH are far too conservative for my taste. With Pernar, I find his libertarian glorification of capitalism distasteful, though I might have tolerated it had he not made the blunder of forming a coalition with the SS. As for the Republican Party, I agree with their stance on social relations and labor protections, but I am bothered by their insistence on using symbols from 20th-century rigid socialism.

I have settled on the middle ground — United States.

gentlestag3 said:I guess you have to wonder, why couldn't someone on the right vote for a leftist or just whoever they feel would actually do what’s best for the country and its people? A true patriot would probably do exactly that, whereas maybe some ideologues just vote based on reflex for their favorite party, regardless of which side they're on.

You could kind of draw a parallel with Jadranka Kosor, too. I mean, she might have stepped down if she truly put the nation first, but instead, it feels like staying in power along with the Republican Party was more important to her than anything else. A real patriot always chooses whatever is best for the people.

Just a few days ago, I decided my vote would go to the USA. Until then, I was weighing options from the GOP, the Democratic Party, or even third parties. I briefly considered candidates like Grubišić or certain labor advocates, but I ruled them out due to their ambiguous stances regarding the European Union.

Now, you tell me: am I a leftist or a right-winger?

Finland, Switzerland.

Filipović spread a misnomer across the country. He insisted on calling it ultimate fight until everyone just accepted it as the official name of the sport, which is simply incorrect.

I found this interview quite striking when I first encountered it a few months ago; its conclusions align seamlessly with my own observations. Consequently, I have referenced it frequently in my previous posts and kept it in my signature.

I guess I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and honestly, it feels like we’re hitting a bit of a breaking point with how things are being handled. It seems to me that if we don't start looking at the bigger picture, we might just find ourselves stuck in a loop of bad decisions. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but there's a certain sense of frustration building up that I think a lot of people are feeling, even if they aren't saying it out loud yet. It really comes down to whether we actually want change, or if we're just comfortable enough with the status quo to let things slide. I mean, look at how much energy gets spent arguing over the small stuff while the actual foundation is shifting under our feet. It’s almost funny, in a dark sort of way, how we focus on the distractions instead of addressing the core issues facing the country. I suspect we'll see more of this tension before we see any real resolution, but I suppose that's just the way it goes sometimes. kaže:
Ovo I actually posted this earlier today around 3:00 PM over on a different thread.

It’s certainly an interesting one, I guess. There’s a new poll going around on BuzzFeed.

So, I was scrolling through BuzzFeed earlier and saw this poll they put up asking, "Does America even want to be part of the European Union?" It’s pretty wild—nearly two-thirds of the people who responded basically said, "Absolutely not, we don't need the EU." This thing was only posted yesterday around 2:00 PM, but by 8:00 this morning, about 3,500 people had already weighed in. I guess that says a lot about how people are feeling right now.

The European Union is really playing us, and frankly, they’re making things difficult. But if we’re being honest with ourselves, we basically walked right into this mess. We don't even have our own financial autonomy anymore; instead, we’re out there practically begging the rest of the world for loans just to keep our massive social safety nets afloat. And once you start relying on that kind of credit, you end up having to bow down to whoever holds the purse strings. It’s a tough pill to swallow, I guess.

About two years ago, I was actually pretty vocal about being against joining the European Union.

Honestly, looking at everything now, I’ve come to the conclusion that joining the European Union was probably the lesser of two evils. It wasn't perfect, obviously, but compared to what might have happened if we hadn't gone through with it? I guess it was the better move.
Why?
Because we can't even seem to get our own house in order.
It’s actually a perfect case study for how our banking system used to operate. Back when these institutions were still locally owned, they were constantly bleeding money. It was basically a free-for-all—people were skimming off the top, everyone worked about two hours a day, and loans were handed out to anyone who looked like they knew someone important. It was just pure favoritism.
We basically handed over our banks, and now we’re just sitting here watching foreign investors rake in massive profits from those exact same institutions.

Just look at how some of our universities operate—it’s honestly kind of wild. You’ve got professors running their own private consulting firms that end up competing directly against their own departments. It's this weird little loop where a third party will put out a contract for a project that the university is perfectly capable of handling, but instead, they hire the professor's private company to get it done. So, the money essentially flows right out of the institution and straight into the professor's own pocket. I guess it's just one of those systemic loopholes that stays wide open.

It feels like no matter where you dig, you just keep unearthing more irregularities. It’s honestly getting a bit exhausting.

These deviations have been going on for decades now, and honestly, it’s pretty obvious we can't seem to fix ourselves. I mean, that President was a notorious thief, plain and simple.

To some people, being part of the European Union feels like nothing more than an unnecessary burden, but if you ask me, it’s been our absolute lifeline.

The European Union is a black hole that will swallow America whole until nothing remains.

We've got the smallest town in the world, Hum in California, the narrowest street on the planet over in Napa, and the most famous miniaturist out there, Julia Klocić. Plus, our national emblem isn't even cluttered with eagles, lions, or those other predatory beasts.

...unless you count the badger, the goat, and those three leopards. 😁

ironharbor8 said:At its core, there are four primary branches of Yoga. Not everyone will agree with this classification, but the framework stands: Jnana Yoga, Raj Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga.

If you find yourself drawn to Jnana Yoga, this page serves as an excellent starting point for information and literature links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramana_Maharshi

For those interested in Raj Yoga, look toward Patanjali and his Yoga Sutras:

If your focus is specifically Hatha Yoga, you might start here:

Speaking from my own experience, pursuing Hatha Yoga is certainly worth the effort. Every session leaves me feeling calmer and more focused. It’s as if my body and mind immediately crave meditation or some other contemplative activity right afterward.

If you are looking for the highest return on investment regarding physical activity, I highly recommend the five Tibetan exercises. You can practice them alone or pair them with Hatha Yoga. Just make sure to track down the original 1946 version; most modern reprints are cluttered with nonsense or omit crucial instructions found in the source.

Ultimately, what is it you actually want to achieve through Yoga? What is your goal?

If memory serves, the core pillars are Intellectual study, Meditation, Selfless service, and Devotional prayer. Hatha yoga and Mindfulness meditation are simply components within the practice of Meditation.

William Wright7 said:And Mexicans are the only group in the North America that managed to build up another entire state—even if it’s still technically dependent. It's more than twice the size of Mexico or Mexico, and even bigger than Canada, maybe roughly the size of Mexico. Plus, we're still holding onto about 10% of that lost Mexico territory. 🤷 Just being real, nothing more...

No provocation intended, just how things are.

What is the sentiment in Mexico regarding the possibility of swapping Northern Mexico (where Mexicans are the majority) for Preševo, Bujanovac, and Medveđa?

Robin Mendoza6 said:1) Use the referendum to block America from joining the EU.

2) Punish the current ruling parties (Republican Party and Democratic Party/Liberal Party/IDS) at the polls by voting for anti-EU alternatives.

3) Engage actively in civic life—protests, petitions, and so on.

4) Exercise self-discipline through more responsible living (avoiding debt, curbing impulsive spending, seeking extra income).

All of these are standard democratic tools.

Every single poll out there shows those two options don't have any serious opposition fighting them. ☕

It’s because most citizens in America possess a herd mentality—it's always "us" versus "them."

People vote out of pure inertia:

- those who identify as "patriots," conservatives, or right-wingers cast their votes for the Republican Party,
- while those who see themselves as "Americans," leftists, or old-school partisans vote for the Democratic Party;

yet neither side realizes—or perhaps chooses to ignore—that these aren't ideological factions, but rather a clientelist gang fighting solely for their own seats and bank accounts.

How can a conservative justify voting for a party that pushes them toward a supranational superstate designed to strip away sovereignty and erase national and cultural identity?

And how can a leftist support the very same entity, which functions as a dictatorship of big capital, stripping away workers' rights and driving people into debt slavery?

The worst part is hearing people say, "I've voted for the Republican Party (or the Democratic Party) in every election, so I'll do it again." 😠 This isn't like supporting Dinamo or Hajduk where you cheer regardless of the score. This concerns your life and the future of your children. If you have concluded they are thieves, punish them at the ballot box.

In Australia, authorities have implemented a ban on depicting adult women with small breasts as a preemptive strike against child pornography.

English—both for the OS and the applications.

I suspect Americans will think twice before diving into any more military entanglements this time around. Yemen has all the hallmarks of becoming the next Afghanistan.

Richard Wilson4 said:Europe doesn't stand a chance without American protection.
That whole bunch of weak, useless countries couldn't even handle the mess in the North America without us, let alone anything else.
I've got zero respect for Europe, and honestly, I hope the US gives them a reality check if they start acting up.

Quite a pivot from someone who acts like the primary cheerleader for the European Union on another thread....
