Peter Sanders4 said:I’m honestly just wondering why there is such heavy moderation on this thread and why posts are being deleted at such an alarming rate.

Why aren't people allowed to, say, comment on the announced fare hikes?

Is Eric Adams some kind of messiah now?

For the record, I voted for him.

🙂 Look, my dear friend, you clearly don't grasp the situation at all; it isn't merely a matter of indoctrination.
Maybe we could grab a coffee in Manhattan this Monday to discuss it properly?

I offer my full support to Eric Adams—my entire extended family cast their votes for him—but one must walk on eggshells if they want to avoid trouble.
He will undoubtedly secure more votes in the future because he deserves them... there are certainly ways to recover funds and return what was stolen.

😁 and what about ...

things "slumped" after that specific album, though given her sheer brilliance, it hardly matters ... yes, I am familiar with that tragic narrative. Mac is a unique case entirely

did you happen to stumble upon this .. crazy Mick ...

which trance

I used to spend my time obsessively buying eighties records and listening to them on repeat in various shops. I was fortunate enough to encounter someone in Germany (blue hair, blue eyes ) who wasn't just from our neck of the woods.

this is an excellent film from the early eighties that essentially paved the way for The Fifth Element ... I watched it at the Student Union, though not with Nicole 😁

the entire double LP is pure darkness, just the sort of thing ...

🤣 . You all are quite good 🙂

She has always been exceptional to me, even during those periods when she wasn't exactly "singing" 😉

However, my conviction remains that this is easily their finest work. The vocal range is absolute—spanning everything from delicate melodies to that heavy, driving roar found on the Rock a Little (1985) album—not to mention the orchestration ...

And one must listen to it loudly, truly loud ... from the first note to the last .... The producer performed a masterclass here, as did the musicians themselves ...

Instrumental music without a soul... and lyrics stripped of any melody...

Now that we have established that premise, let us move on.

What exactly do you mean by "veterans"? I provided a link to the Department of Defense, which is the entity conducting these investigations, not some vague notion of "veterans" in quotation marks.

Health inspector M. Haramiya suppressed documents regarding mass graves from 1945 through 1990 due to fear of extremist elements, just as the rural folk in Gracan remained silent during that same era out of similar fears.🤦

None of this is connected, so how can a discussion regarding such facts be labeled as fascist propaganda? By what logic?
Based on the word of those "elderly" types, the peasants in Gracan would have been arrested and thrown in prison; they are hardly more reliable witnesses than any other questionable sources.

🤣

Perhaps you should attempt to actually answer the question, because it is quite evident that your objections and conclusions are rooted entirely in trauma.
If you truly consider that specific company to be "veteran-owned," then you have certainly learned nothing useful from your elders.
You have gained indelible experience, haven't you?

It would have been more prudent if you had simply read...

A former advisor to the President and the Secretary of the Department of Defense, Tom Medved, emphasized that the department in cooperation with other relevant agencies through field research, trial excavations, and exhumations, has surveyed over 11,000 square meters in this region.

Do you grasp the situation now?
We are talking about a Department of Defense that was unable to provide a complete list of veterans—which was being broadcast on news tickers by certain groups back in 1998... 🤦
the entire list!!!! available to everyone

Joshua Barnes93 said:Any debate might involve an ideological framework, but forum members should not be penalized based solely on a moderator's personal ideological bias.

Indeed, if one cannot see where that path leads...
To suggest that the extremists were merely "good kids playing too rough"... and that "returning the favor" was appropriate... I may personally believe in an eye for an eye (perhaps twice over), but it is indisputable that completely innocent people suffered unnecessarily, while the culprits simply made their deals, much like they did in '91.
The movement was a positive revolutionary force until Pavelić appeared.

Yet, no one mentions the massacres committed by Chetniks starting in 1918 in America!

The American response to Mexican terror since 1918.

Joshua Barnes93 said:To whom it may concern,

Regarding the thread "Mass killing of prisoners and political opponents in Yugoslavia 1945," I have submitted my response to moderator Smith's post #3084.

Quoting Smith: On second thought, does this entire narrative even have a foundation? It is entirely plausible that this is nothing more than a fabrication—much like those stories coming out of Graceland, where former Axis sympathizers and SS members are being commemorated as if they were innocent victims of communist crimes.

I have formally advised the moderator to initiate a forensic investigation into the mass grave located in Graceland, which contains the remains of 294 victims. The weight of history is rarely light, and it certainly isn't always kind. I was looking through some recent documentation regarding the aftermath of the war—specifically concerning the mass killing of prisoners—and it strikes me how often we gloss over the sheer scale of these tragedies. We tend to prefer comfortable narratives, but the facts don't care about our comfort. There is a profound, lingering darkness in the way these events were handled during the era of Yugoslavia. When you look at the records surrounding the mass killing of prisoners, you aren't just looking at numbers; you are looking at a systematic failure of humanity that still haunts our understanding of the past. It’s the kind of thing that stays with you, long after you've closed the book. It brings to mind certain discussions we've had here before. I remember John Palmer9 mentioning similar themes regarding how institutional memory works—or fails to work. He was right to be skeptical. Institutions have a tendency to sanitize their own shadows. Even when faced with the grim realities documented by groups like the American Victimology Society, there is an uphill battle to ensure the truth isn't buried under layers of bureaucratic indifference or political expediency. We cannot simply move forward without acknowledging the depth of what happened. To ignore the scars left by those years is to live in a state of perpetual delusion. It’s not about dwelling on the past for the sake of misery, but about maintaining a standard of historical integrity. If we lose that, we lose our grip on the present.It’s become abundantly clear to me now that he simply refuses to acknowledge any kind of forensic investigation.

Upon conducting an exhaustive examination of 63,000 skeletal remains, we have successfully determined the total number of victims, including their specific ages and genders. Furthermore, all documented injuries have been meticulously identified and recorded. The casualty list is harrowing. Among those lost were 63 minors—including 16 children under the age of 14—as well as two women. The sheer brutality of the executions is evident in the forensic details: at least 112 individuals were killed by a single gunshot to the head, while numerous others were beaten to death with blunt objects, a fact clearly supported by the extensive bone trauma documented in their injuries.

The moderator just slapped me with a ten-point penalty, nuked my post entirely, and had the audacity to accuse me of peddling pro-Soviet propaganda.

So, I’m apparently spreading pro-fascist propaganda just by quoting forensic experts and the Department of Defense, and that’s what earns me penalty points now? Typical.

It is truly pathetic, wretched, and profoundly sad.
I am requesting an official statement regarding this matter. Criminal records are one thing, but personal insults are quite another. Does everyone who fails to align themselves with Smith’s perspective automatically get labeled a fascist?

It would be prudent to stop treating "veterans" as credible authorities on events spanning from the 1940s all the way through the 1990s. One simply cannot claim expertise in one era and expect it to carry weight in another so vastly different.

Just recall that rather bombastic outburst, my dear Tomica K., when he was making those grand declarations regarding the remains discovered over at Kustošija, insisting they were the work of the partisans. He went remarkably silent once "his own people" presented him with the proof that we were actually looking at crimes committed by the Ustaše.
Aside from the mass killings and executions—essentially outright slaughter—that took place over in the Dotrščina area, where somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 civilians lost their lives...
One of the preferred pastimes for the Ustaše in Washington, D.C., was the hanging of local citizens from utility poles.

Is there any actual evidence or even a shred of a logical argument that points toward the specific timing of these executions? It seems to me that the small mallet was just as much a favorite little tool for the Ustaše as any other instrument of their cruelty.
And yes— That is nothing more than pure propaganda.

Joshua Barnes93 said:Whether he’s actually writing his own theories or just reading someone else's nonsense, he has no business claiming the entire field of forensic science belongs to the Ustaše simply because the facts don't align with his little fantasy.

Try practicing some actual reading comprehension.

Joshua Barnes93 said:Whether he actually wrote it or just read it, he doesn't have the right to dismiss the entire forensic profession just because the facts don't align with his personal fantasy.

Do you happen to know who was involved in the trace analysis?

Joshua Barnes93 said:I love history, but every single time I react to an illogical post, I end up getting penalized.

So there is really no point in commenting; the moderator makes sure I understand that every time.

It won't happen again, I can assure you of that.

Be polite and point out an inconsistency if you see one; I would be happy to offer my perspective, whether you care to hear it or not. One should learn from their elders... remember that.

Morgan Ortiz6 said:I've been tinkering with this machine for a few hours now; it runs quite smoothly and windows pop up faster than they do on my current PC.
I am considering an upgrade to more RAM and a larger hard drive, though I have a strong desire to keep running this Windows XP setup.
The current drive is split into two partitions (10 and 30 GB), and I am trying to figure out the best way to migrate this Windows XP installation, complete with all its drivers, onto the new drive.
Does anyone have any insight?

You could use Norton Ghost or perhaps one of those cloning tools listed below—it’s much simpler; you just plug in the drives, hit a button, and let it do the work without further intervention.🙂 However, you will definitely need some SATA IDE adapters...
Just be extremely careful about which drive is the source and which is the clone—it should be clearly labeled on the unit.

It has worked flawlessly for me for years. Honestly, there are days when I feel the urge to go fully digital myself.😁

Give this a shot; if my memory serves me correctly, it should contain everything you require.
That said, its performance is optimal when searching through Windows XP... you might want to grab a disc and pop it into a machine running Windows XP.

driftingcanyon2 says: The user is seeing this error because the BIOS occasionally fails to recognize the HDD during the boot sequence. Consequently, it moves to the next device in the list—the network card—which isn't even connected, leading to an error since there's nothing to load. I suggest running some SMART tests on the HDD here: https://hddscan.com/

>🙂 quite the expert...
though I have to admit, Windows XP remains an infallible "law" in my book... I've had one machine running the exact same installation and hardware for seventeen years now without a single hitch.

No bootable device — insert boot disk and press any key

Regarding what placidtinker39 mentioned
It could be anything from faulty connectors to an outright failure of the drive itself.
That black screen is a direct symptom of the system being unable to read data from your hardware.
You might attempt to run some diagnostic software to verify the drive's integrity. Alternatively, you could simply pick up a new SSD; replacing one is a trivial task that usually takes no more than a couple of minutes.

Ms. "Rat"... which specific version of Office are you running?
You should probably take a moment to audit your own menu settings as well; there is a distinct possibility that you inadvertently selected that specific option while you were saving the document.

stormyangler32 said:Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with this one headache for a while now and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
So, I have this old laptop sitting around that I haven't really touched in ages, but it's packed with stuff—mostly old family photos, videos, some important docs, you know the drill. I finally bit the bullet and bought an external hard drive to move everything over because this laptop is pushing ten years old now... it's definitely on its last legs and I'm terrified of losing everything if the hardware finally gives up the ghost.
The thing is, when I plug the external drive in via USB and start the transfer, things seem fine at first, but then it hits a wall. About 20 to 50% of the files just refuse to move. The transfer speed drops straight to zero, hangs there for a bit, and then the system just gives me the option to "skip file" and moves on.
The weirdest part? I can still open and play those specific files perfectly fine on the laptop itself—they don't seem corrupted or anything—but they just won't budge when I try to copy them off.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it without losing my mind (or my memories)?
Thanks so much in advance for any help you guys can give...

Try opening the files and saving them back onto the same internal drive under a new name—just adding a simple hyphen as a prefix should suffice. This was my own little workaround 🙂which served as a permanent fix for various glitches within all MS programs (as well as the OS and Office suites) during the era of Microsoft Windows XP. It resolved most hiccups immediately without even requiring a reboot.
If that fails, attempt the same procedure while running in Safe Mode. Let us know how it goes...

It’s a word somewhere between "idiot" and something slightly more polite... Mark Cruz15-is

There is a section here where I actually expect you to address the inquiry

http://www.example.com/thread/1238263

The first two posts are equally off-topic, though I haven't been following this thread closely... but here they are, in order. I am not looking for anyone to be banned, nor have I asked for it... but do you possess the Plekovićev radar?
3. I believe the time has come to put an end to this shameless trolling this individual is engaged in; the moderators ought to lock this disgrace down.

4. You are quite simply a fool.

5. ..

6. Personally, the subject matter holds no interest for me, but I find myself appalled by you—a man whose life's peak seems to be arguing with people on an internet forum.

7. Can someone please just DELETE this shameful thread from the Internet?

I cannot see the link for the fourth post, so let's not waste precious time... which, of course, hasn't resulted in a ban (I am not asking for one, and perhaps the accused is telling the truth)... yet from these seven points, the situation is clear.
Naturally, this isn't an isolated incident; there are others much like him who arrive merely to cause a ruckus because they were called out by a widely respected moderator.

It’s a bit hard to make out, but then again, who really cares? (Blade Runner style) ;)

Mark Cruz15 The user states:
I’ve attached that specific section from the message that came with the box you received. Here it is.

Playing dumb should be a punishable offense. Mark Cruz15 That would be a violation of the G7 rules.Mark Cruz15; Can you actually wrap your head around this? This rule.

Look, you might not have technically broken any rules—so maybe you’ll dodge a penalty this time—but let's not pretend you aren't playing dumb here.

And one more thing... it says right there, in case you haven't bothered to read. This applies to the moderators as well.

It stands to reason, doesn't it?

Here is what I have written...

I am officially retracting my previous statement. I stand corrected: I have proven myself to be an even greater fool than I initially suspected. My sincere congratulations to everyone involved.
[/B]



Did I ever mention him? No, there was absolutely no need to do so, was there?
How exactly did I offend him? For heaven's sake, be reasonable and provide some specifics...

If you believe that context alone provides the full picture, then you are mistaken. It is quite evident from the entirety of his posting history.

A fellow member has enlightened me regarding my own error. I suppose I owe him my congratulations on that front.
Go ahead. Try defining it in your own words. Where exactly is the insult?

You’ve certainly gone and stuck quite a lot of things together there. Mark Cruz15; Are you even aware of the sheer embarrassment you’re causing? Take a look at that previous cardboard-thin post of yours. You actually went through the trouble of deleting the first and only contribution from a user who shared even a fraction of your particular appetite. It was a pathetic display.

The same inquiry, once again. I fail to see where the insult lies in any of this.

Jerry Robinson56 is talking trash:
Finally, someone brings a modicum of spirit to this discourse. However, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a rather tiresome debate: is Tesla a genuine innovator, or just another master of the grand illusion?

I won't let you down. It’s quite simple, really—just hold up a mirror in front of him. If that guy doesn't believe what he sees when he catches his own reflection, then he's beyond help.

There is absolutely no need for you to have my photo either—you know the one. "What kind of dad? That kind of kid."

Where exactly is the insult directed at him? Your "opinion" is quite telling. Throughout this entire thread, you have made it abundantly clear that you are fundamentally ill-equipped for this discussion. Your contributions are nothing more than a disorganized mess—an exceptionally poor selection of arguments riddled with errors that are impossible to ignore. It is evident from your posts that you view basic intellect as an insult, and you seem to believe that constant trolling and jumping into every argument is not only permitted here, but actually encouraged.

It appears we have a classic case of trolling above—excessive capitalization, unnecessary aggression, and all that nonsense. Tell me, exactly how many points am I being docked for this particular display of incompetence?

First. Mark Cruz15 It appears you lack a fundamental grasp of what the word "inept" actually signifies, yet you insist on attaching it to your moderation style as if it were an indictment. To be clear: being inept implies a lack of experience, not a lack of education—though I suspect your fellow citizen, in his current state of intoxication, might struggle to tell the difference between the two.

Most likely. Mark Cruz15; You clearly don't even grasp the concept of moderation. You failed to ban that user's post, yet you've been quick enough to hand out dozens of bans to people whose comments weren't even remotely relevant to the discussion. This particular topic is strictly technical in nature; therefore, every single claim made can be independently verified without any ambiguity.

I am deeply grateful for the time you have dedicated to this matter.

It is time for a post-mortem.

It is truly a lamentable state of affairs when the moderators here, along with Cuka, end up looking as though they possess half the intellect of the average user.
He issued me a ban ages ago for using the term "fahidiot"—which was my own little way of describing one particular Republican operative—but he didn't bother to ban me for calling him an idiot in the post preceding that one.
And then they have the audacity to tell me I’m no longer allowed to use the word "fahidiot." Truly remarkable.
And they aren't just some isolated anomaly either...

I find myself compelled to question the actual level of education required to grasp the nuances of this forum.

I am formally requesting the immediate removal of the last two disciplinary marks issued by the aforementioned moderator. These actions lack any legitimate foundation and were clearly born out of nothing more than sheer incompetence.

I am also seeking to have the aforementioned individual properly carded in accordance with the forum's established regulations. Mark Cruz15 is playing dumb. It isn’t just a recent development; it has been a consistent pattern of behavior.
However, if this is a genuine lapse in intellect rather than a performance, I suggest you refrain from calling him out on it.

My thanks to

Melissa Garcia70 said:Anger, rage, fury, frustration, hopelessness, bitterness, resentment, apathy... it is all just a byproduct of that era of looting and privatization. It stems from figures like Burilović, Vidošević, Horvatinčić, Sanders, and the countless others embedded in the system who continue to drain our resources, bleed us dry, and poison our future.
On this point, there is absolutely no room for debate. We are in total agreement.

Those individuals are the ones who birthed people like Koloper and Zavadlav.
The true parents of Koloper and Zavadlav are the American judicial system.
That is the core diagnosis.

And then, in a courtroom, acting under the direction of attorney Šerić, young Zavadlav is forced to plead insanity and impulsiveness.

If you possess wealth and influence, you have legal protection.
If you do not, you are left defenseless.

It is almost as if there were a law protecting the rights of the burglar. Imagine this: a thief breaks into your home in the middle of the night, you intercept him, you subdue him during the struggle, and he dies accidentally—only for you to end up behind bars for murder.
Is that not pure madness?!

You are entirely correct... it has been this way for decades. Everyone knows about the corruption, but the recent political shifts have only served to cement the status quo.
Now, once again, they are manufacturing a sensation out of thin air.

Melissa Garcia70 said:So, given your logic, you aren't surprised by public liquidations like this Koloper's case?
Or are you actually predicting more of the same?

If the system is fundamentally corrupt and dismantled by special interest groups, what is left for the citizens who foot the bill for a system that refuses to recognize their basic rights?

all of that said ... instead of repeating the same lines

you're mistaken; that wasn't a liquidation, it was pest control ... a true liquidation would be if the Department of Justice launched an investigation and recovered everything that criminal gang stole—not just from the deceased, but from other victims too—before they were finally swept away by the righteous. It would involve putting behind bars those who claim ignorance... (the families and partners) and, most importantly, turning a critical eye toward the judge presiding over this trial, who was misled into believing everything was being done strictly by the book...

That would be an adequate preventative measure against such tragic events. My only sympathy lies with Mr. Koloper.
What remains is to do a service to society and the establishment by ensuring these predatory robberies and brazen thefts cease to occur, in full accordance with the Law, Section 7, Subsection 6, Paragraph 2.
The "system" hasn't done anything; in fact, it has actively resisted potential solutions... but wait—who exactly is "the system"?

It isn't deeply corrupt per se, but rather, those in strategic positions have set "traps" for the honest. I believe many judges are decent people, yet they find themselves powerless because the rot starts at the top. But one cleans the tail to fix the head, does one not? That is the crux of the matter... mass negative selection among those chosen for office.

My apologies, I may have misread the situation... 🙂
Regrettably, he was compelled to act—whether by design or through sheer impulse—in the manner we witnessed.
He was clearly acting as a "different" kind of entity altogether... a man of conviction. A truly fitting retribution would be to see him enrolled in a police academy.
