The start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Part 1) in War in Ukraine ·
Mark Clark6 said:I am trying to remain objective here. Furthermore, this sudden call for negotiations is incredibly bizarre; I don't recall a precedent quite like this:
Putin calling for negotiations a mere two days after launching the very attack HE started... it feels surreal. Then, he turns around and tells the opposing military to overthrow its own government? It’s a dark comedy. When you launch an invasion, the logical move is to demand a surrender, not this. Perhaps things simply don't go according to plan for the Russians. There is something deeply unsettling about this entire narrative.

Yeah, there was talk about that. He wanted to call for talks in Minsk—basically the capital of the invading force. Give me a break.
It seemed pretty obvious to everyone that Putin was just messing around with that proposal.

At first, I figured he might have some strategic goals in mind (wrong as they may be), but after today, I’m convinced the guy needs a psychiatrist. He's definitely lost it.

Come on, Russians—just toss that garbage onto the street and stomp all over it. I'll be waiting for the video online.
Why was I permabanned? in Banned Users Corner ·
I don't really have any firsthand info on that bit.

From what I can tell, though, it looks like Ryan Baker23 is just a clone of a user who got permanently banned from the forum.

Is that the case, or am I off base?
Why was I permabanned? in Banned Users Corner ·
I'm not sure if I can explain this clearly—I've got this earache that's distracting me enough to make me want to jump out a window.

-So, yeah. You mentioned those 900 points from some moderator on your other profile. That part is correct; you did receive them.
But shortly after that, you were hit with a 1,000-point deduction directly from the admin via the backend—something about insults and... well, who knows exactly what else. (If you want the specifics, you'd have to ask the purple-shirted staff)

-Basically, that profile is permanently banned. This current profile is just a clone of a user who's been permanently banned, which, as far as I understand, falls under the rules that led to your current situation.

I guess the plot really went sideways because Hamlet ate an omelet.

Champagne is for wimps

Hmm

I'm with you there. He’s become a risk—to himself and everyone else, really. Just a total mess lately.

Douglas Johnson41 said:Has Hogar weighed in about getting put on the ignore list?

He actually reached out—he's pretty shaken up by the whole thing, honestly. To the point where he’s planning to just block everyone. Like, everything.

🙂

It’s basically a done deal. Though, first, you'll probably need to convince Homer to unblock coppersailor28.
That should be a good way to prove you actually have those diplomatic skills—you know, the ones every moderator needs to have alongside everything else.
In Memory of Zlatko Saračević (1961-2021) in Handball ·
One of those guys who made me fall in love with handball in the first place.

A true legend. Rest in peace.

A long time ago, some wise folks used to say that the US doesn't need any moderation at all

Just kidding. It's fine

Regarding MK, the old guard (haha) basically said NO WAY
It feels like there might be some sort of unspoken agreement over at the National Organization for Women.

You only see checkpoints at the county exits—nowhere else within the county itself, I guess.
Joshua Morales88 said:No, buddy, this isn't some "immigrant worker" perspective—I'm just describing exactly what I'm seeing back home in Lombardy (so that "blue-collar" comment is totally off base)👍 and trying to explain to you lot that if we want to fix this, we actually have to do it—isolation and staying put...
A smart person doesn't need the government telling them how to protect their own health... so, whose side are you on?
And this morning, I had to fill out a form just to walk 50 meters to buy bread, a quick loop around the block and back; people are standing in lines barely a foot apart, and wouldn't you know it, there's no police in sight...

And does your unemployment check come in regularly? And will it keep coming if this drags on for 8, 10, or 12 months?
Where I'm from, there's this stupid rule where if I don't earn, I don't have. 🤔
electricbadger89 said:Here's the takeaway from the link above:

On the flip side, the Decision doesn't cover every single scenario. For instance, one woman from the town of Dugopolj is still formally registered at her parents' place, even though she's actually been living in Podstrana with her boyfriend for years. Her job is in Dugopolj, and since that's where she's officially registered, she couldn't get permission from her employer to leave the area. Consequently, the Podstrana Civil Protection headquarters spent a few days dealing with this totally normal—yet unforeseen—mess.

So, it is possible. But apparently, in the municipality of Dugopolj or at CZ Črnomerec, it isn't. There you have it.

The employer probably should have just opened a fake branch office in Podstrana. 🤣

Man, I swear... 😳
