Yeah, still waiting on an explanation from the higher-ups—how long does it actually take you guys to get on the same page?

Sam Alvarez4 said:Stepping in as a commentator here.

Four links total.
Let's take them one by one.

1. CNN: Shocking! The page is just gone... 404 error!
2. USA Today: Just the homepage, completely irrelevant.
3. Fox News: A link from 2012. About swine flu, by the way.
4. Vaccine Info site: This text claims to be a translation from xy, but there isn't even a link to xy to prove it...
edit. Yesterday, when I checked, the anti-vaxxers actually had the supposed translation. Today? 404. 😬

Sit down, please!

you're a terrible commentator

as you can see above isn't an actual quote from the original post, what you're trying to do now is basically like sending me a screenshot of a Reddit homepage and expecting me to click the links.🤦

again, the visual content of a deleted post is gone—just because certain lines automatically turned into links doesn't mean they actually work. hopefully you get that now, unless you've never posted a link on a forum and missed a single letter before.🙏

besides, if the links weren't working when the post was deleted, wouldn't that be the perfect chance to clown on these "anti-vaxxers" and mock their "idiotic" posts instead of just deleting them and hiding their "anti-vax" shame and stupidity caused by not knowing how to format a link properly?

your logic is a joke.🙏

btw. not an anti-vaxxer, I'm all for everything that's been mandatory up until now.☕

Since posts are constantly getting nuked in the Coronavirus politics thread, I’m looking for an explanation from the mods—just to reiterate:

Why was the thread shut down this afternoon, and where did the post go that was written right before it closed?

The whole COVID vaccine situation is just a rerun of the swine flu vaccine story. Just to refresh everyone's memory on how the mainstream media pushed it while mocking anyone who dared to question them:

Vaccine side effects:

https://cijepljenje.info/cjepivo-pro...-sirom-europe/

Which country in Europe was the first to approve the COVID vaccine:

The swine flu vaccine caused brain damage in over 800 children throughout Europe, leading the UK government to agree to a $90 million settlement for the victims due to complications from that shot.

It's the exact same deal as the swine flu vaccine—back when the entire global mainstream media machine insisted it would never cause harm while simultaneously tearing apart any critics. From bogus science columns in The Washington Post to full-page ads from vaccine manufacturers in The New York Times, every major American news outlet at the time flatly denied any possibility of injury, aggressively pushing vaccines that were later proven to hurt kids.

The links provided are from CNN and USA Today.

Are those supposed to be Flat Earth websites or something?

Where exactly in that post was there "labeling, silencing users, or mutual insults," as the mod claimed when she locked the thread and started deleting stuff?

What was actually wrong with that post that it had to be wiped?

thanks

Charles Fox10 said:Your take on this is totally off. The bottom line is they have to deal with a bit more heat than us regular folks—the Supreme Court actually backed that up—but we’re making it clear we won't tolerate pointless insults just for the sake of being jerks.

You're lying and you know it—saying "deal with a bit more heat"? lol

Aren't you embarrassed to even phrase it like that? :s

Charles Fox10 said:Since you love playing hall monitor and nitpicking everyone else's posts, here's a reality check: that ban is valid, just like yours. And just so we're clear on avoiding future drama—other people's bans aren't your business.

It’s like I wrote this myself, except instead of Joe Biden, it's Plenković in the mix. Let's see how this plays out—my bet is no ban, the post gets nuked, and the mods just hide their incompetence. No integrity here. :cerek:

Chloe Campbell95 said:First off, don't sweat it—Charles Fox10 already knows the deal. I'm sure he'll get back to you soon enough.

Secondly, since you've suddenly decided to play defense attorney for our buddy here, you're kind of missing the point—when he's dropping lines like "why are you even talking?" or "what are you rambling about?" to other people on here with those goofy posts of his... well, if you look at why he actually gets banned, it’s because of that exact kind of rhetoric. Are all these other users public figures too? Or just regular people?

Luckily for us, the mods can see everything—all the deleted posts, the bans, the reasons behind them, and all that juicy stuff. Cheers!

Calling someone a rambling idiot is totally fine then, right? 🤣

Classic hair-splitting—but hey, if it makes you feel better, go for it. :cerek:

Let's get Charles Fox10 to chime in here—he can confirm I've never actually said this stuff about public figures out loud before. :zubo:

Chloe Campbell95 said:So you're looking for a "heavier" penalty for insults (one that actually sticks), rather than just those 25 points for trolling—which you seem to think is "too vague"? Fine by me. Honestly, you could've easily taken a much higher penalty for that specific post.

Should we just leave the COVID-19 threads here for "daily venting sessions"? Where'd you get that idea? You clearly missed the point.

And as for you playing lawyer for another user—you don't think that counts as trolling or harassment? Seriously? Got any actual proof?

Proof for what?
don't get it—it's all right there in the text and the screenshot attached

The guy insulted Dick and got slapped with 50 points, partly because of the insult itself

So it wasn't about a fellow user, it was about a public figure—and on this site, you NEVER get penalized for that. If you need me to walk you through how moderation works, feel free to ask someone else, but it's fine to mess up once—it's when you keep being dense like this that it becomes an issue.

Morgan Booth70 said:Oh, the classic moderator excuse—"total contribution" levels. Hilarious. 🤣

There's an entire subforum dedicated to COVID-19 for actual deep dives and analysis, yet you guys just can't leave it alone.
Ever thought about letting this politics thread be a place to vent all that daily frustration?
Why act like such hall monitors?
How many threads are in the COVID-19 section?
A ton.
But sure, let's try to enforce strict rules here in this lonely little thread where people just want to blow off steam—bravo, zero tact on your part. :s

One more thing since you're already here—what if you guys actually coordinated? Multiple mods—Charles Fox10 comes to mind first—have made it clear that roasting politicians or public figures is fine, unlike attacking other users.

And then this happens:

edit: realized you deleted the post in the meantime, so here's a screenshot:

https://postimg.cc/w3ZFVgdH

And this guy gets 50 points for trolling and straight-up INSULTING someone? Seriously? 🤣

Meanwhile, if I said anything, I'd get a strike for "attacking the moderation"—you guys are too much. :s

Pick a lane: either stop trolling or get ready for more bans.

Chloe Campbell95 says: It’s not even about whether this specific post is trolling—it's just that you flood the same thread about COVID-19 with troll posts every single day. If all this is just your "subjective experience," then maybe dial down the subjectivity a bit.

Ah, the classic moderator move—“contributing to the community” 🤣

There’s an entire subforum dedicated to serious COVID-19 discussion and analysis, yet somehow it’s never enough for you guys.
Did it ever cross your minds to let this politics thread be a place where people can just vent their daily frustrations?
Why are you acting like such hall monitors?
How many threads are in the COVID-19 subforum?
A ton.
But sure, let's go ahead and try to enforce strict rules on this one lonely thread where people come to blow off steam—bravo, zero tact on your part :s

One more thing since you're already here—what if you guys actually coordinated? It's been made clear by various mods (Charles Fox10 comes to mind first) that insulting politicians and public figures is allowed, unlike insulting other users.

And then this happens:

edit: realized you guys deleted the post in the meantime, so here’s a screenshot:

https://postimg.cc/w3ZFVgdH

So some guy gets 50 points for trolling AND insults, seriously? 🤣

And if I said anything now, I'd probably get banned for "attacking the moderation"—you guys are something else :s

Did Srica say a lockdown was our only choice? YES.

Did Joe Biden say he brought God back just so they could roll out even stricter rules? YES.

So, honestly—where's the trolling?

Is all this talk about facts—well, my subjective take on them—suddenly an issue?

Since when is it against the rules to STATE THE FACTS, and then actually write out how those facts make a person feel?

I’m looking for one reasonable explanation here—unless we’ve just got another moderator handing out bans while pretending it's "trolling."

bluegull5 said:Dealing with hemorrhoids during the third trimester—just what I needed. 🕺

How am I supposed to help? — I’m drinking tons of water and tea, eating my fruits and veggies, cutting out caffeine, skipping the pastries... everything.

Joseph Cooper9 said:Dealing with hemorrhoids lately too—can anyone give me the actual rundown on what to eat and what to stay far away from?

You can’t really win against hemorrhoids—you just negotiate an extension.
It all depends on how bad it actually is.
I went ahead and scheduled a colonoscopy just as a precaution—zero symptoms or anything, honestly. Just figured I’d go see what all the fuss is about. 🤣

Anyway, everything turned out fine—the doc just told me I've got a mild case of these little bastards, but said there's no point messing with them and I should just live my life. We chatted about it for a bit, so basically:

Toilet paper—it’s basically the ultimate enemy. Seriously, the GOAL should be using just a couple of squares and calling it a day. But once you start getting into those petty debates about who ends up cleaner—you or the paper—you've already lost.

Look, if you actually want to nail step one, your diet is everything. There are plenty of general guidelines out there, but honestly—you’ve gotta find that sweet spot for yourself. It’s all about finding that perfect balance where things aren't too hard or too soft, just... solid. You know, aiming for that "minimal toilet paper usage" kind of efficiency.

Most of the time, this combo keeps things moving smoothly—just 4 or 5 prunes a day plus some psyllium husk (you can grab it at Whole Foods). Grab half a liter of water, toss in two small spoonfuls of the husk, stir it up, and drink it immediately before it turns into glue—then rinse the glass with another 2.5 dl of water, swirl it, and finish that off too.

Going every five days isn't exactly ideal—but hitting the bathroom three or four times a day is just as bad since it all just irritates everything. Honestly, a normal range is somewhere between once a day and once every few days; we’re all built differently, and everyone's "tank" has its own capacity. 🙏

It doesn't matter how long you're sitting on the throne—it's about the strategy. Honestly, just hang out there for thirty minutes if things are running slow and let nature take its course naturally—way better than rushing it in three minutes and trying to force everything out at once.

Always wash up after using the bathroom—even if you think you're clean—whenever you can. If you're out and about, grab some wet wipes or just stick to a neutral soap... honestly, if that's not an option, plain water does the trick.

Dry skin down there is one of the biggest headaches—it gives you that annoying tight, itchy feeling that makes you want to scratch, and then you're stuck dealing with the same irritation you get from cheap toilet paper. Seriously, stop the sandpaper routine. There’s a super simple fix.

Found this Balea stuff by Nevenov—looks alright, I guess. Might give it a shot if I'm feeling fancy.

So this stuff is basically magic—I can't live without it. And I don't just mean for that situation down there, but for everything else too. If your hands are cracked and bleeding, just slather it on and rub it in... it won't be perfect by morning, but you'll be like 80% healed. Seriously, a miracle. 🙏

Same goes for after you wash—just slather on this cream. It'll make your day way more chill, zero discomfort, and honestly, next time you hit the restroom, things will just glide right out

Hemorrhoids are basically like the slums in Rio—best if you just leave them alone and don't poke around too much. They mostly operate on a "don't touch me and I won't touch you" policy. The real trouble starts when you decide to squeeze the trigger by crushing them with 74 bags of chips (and I mean 74 bags, not just one—unless that was your entire diet for the day) or some other junk combined with half a gallon of water daily. Then you're left wondering why everything feels like an AK-47 went off down there the next morning 😬

Henry Garcia13 said:It sounds like you're writing this from another planet. Turkey acts as a dam holding back millions of refugees who, if they head toward Europe, could very realistically trigger the collapse of the EU. Erdogan plays both Europe, America, and Russia against each other because he knows exactly how to swim between their competing interests, all while China looms in the background as another force everyone fears...

Erdogan doesn't just talk; he takes concrete steps that clash with many EU member states and the Union as a whole. Yet, there is no response.

All of this points to the political weakness of the European Union first and foremost, which then highlights Turkish strength—strength that is largely inflated because they are simply exploiting the current circumstances perfectly.

I can't help but wonder how far this goes when pissed-off Greeks decide to clear the front lines with some rapid fire—it’s easy to push through when someone else is clearing the path for you, but once the game ends and that first shot lands squarely in an immigrant's gut, or hits a different target entirely, things get messy for the Sultan's people. Either that, or some idiot thinks Europe survived all these centuries just because it was always "humanitarian"—as if being humane wasn't just something we did whenever it suited us...

With Turkey messing around like this, they’re gonna end up just like Washington, D.C.—stuck with a wall right through the middle—so they might as well start picking up some English and Russian while they can. 🙏

Amanda Kim2 said:I've messed around with tons of browsers and they all pretty much let you install Google Chrome extensions—honestly, I don't think you even need to install anything special, you probably just have to toggle a setting in the options menu or something, then just pull up the extension and you're good to go!

What browser are you running?

maxthon 🙏

Amanda Kim2 said:Check this out if you want more browser options

https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/

And hey, if your favorite isn't listed, just grab an extension so you can run Chrome add-ons right in it!

obviously not, I'm stuck using some random Chinese browser🤣

so which extension lets you use Chrome add-ons? 😲 🙏🙏🙏

Casey Bennett said:For those of you stuck using Chrome, this should do the trick.
Just install the extension, refresh the page, and voilà—that absolute nonsense is finally gone.
Make sure you hit "disagree" first, unless you actually want to give those idiots who designed this thing the satisfaction they're looking for.

who even runs this forum?

seriously, why are we installing new stuff when we could just get rid of the old junk?

and besides, it’s not like Chrome and Mozilla are the only browsers out there...

honestly, guys—it’s only a matter of time before everyone just loses their minds here🙏

So, apparently I can't even browse a single thread on this forum without being slapped in the face by this



Anyone know what this junk is or why it's happening?

Like, I flip from page 32 to 33 and boom—there it is. Start a new thread? Same thing. Refresh the page? Yep, still there. It’s like I have to double-click my way through every single click just to get anywhere.🕺

Bolded (so I don't end up deleting the whole thing)...

I hope you're right, but looking at who’s actually in that Democratic coalition and the seats they managed to snag, I honestly think Plenković could probably sway even 15 representatives his way if he wanted to. He could likely flip people from the Pametan and Ime i prezime groups too, provided he makes them a tempting enough offer. For instance, that married couple over in Puljak's camp would probably jump at a chance to run the Department of Education—and since Plenković already handed that kind of influence over to the NSF, why wouldn't he offer it to them?

There’s one issue with everything you write... actually, make that two.

Plenković is absolutely dreading the idea of a rerun election. It would be a disaster for him, especially if Skor and the Most party actually manage to team up and form a coalition.

Who would actually lead such a massive coalition? If it isn't Plenković—and considering the Democratic Party is running solo this time without any partners, I doubt the Republican Party could pull anything more significant than him—then the whole coalition falls apart. Plenković loses his grip on the Republican Party, and then they just end up forming a coalition with Skor.

3) I’ve touched on this before... Bernardić would absolutely benefit from Plenković losing ground and the Republican Party shifting further right... I honestly can't imagine a scenario where Bernardić would settle for being a junior partner in a Republican-Democratic coalition, subservient to Plenković. That’s exactly why he’s built such a massive alliance—to take down the Republican Party once and for all...

Looking at points 2 and 3, I'm skeptical that this grand coalition is actually a viable fix... It might work if they managed to sideline Bernardić... But once that physicist from Staten Island emerges as the relative winner of these elections (which seems inevitable), making that happen will be an uphill battle.

Which is precisely why I suspect Plenković will spend the post-election period negotiating—negotiating with Skor, while simultaneously working behind the scenes to rack up favors within the Democratic coalition until he's exhausted every option.

It’s really the only way he survives politically.

2+2

everything's negotiable once people actually start panicking--

urbanangler8 said:Calling it Nazi imagery just because it shows Franjo Harmon with a small, blond boy who looks like his grandson? Really?🤣 🤣

So, I guess if we’re all born with blond hair, we’re all Nazis, and anyone who wants to deal with us is a Nazi too. Brilliant logic there—I'm sure that's exactly what America needs to become the next Switzerland.
The unnamed US person should probably jump onto the list for the unnamed US organization now that the unnamed US person is out; we could certainly use more of that level of intellect.👍

thanks 🙏
