Look, this forum has its own set of laws

Drew Ross2 said:Larry Walker24, what the hell would you even expect to find on a random US message board for a few bucks? 😁

Just ripping chunks out of the PDF Eurovision, plus some immunity from being banned or getting hit with those annoying warnings.

Instagram is buzzing because apparently this legendary actor is dealing with some serious health issues, specifically a diagnosis of aphasia, which messes with his ability to communicate.
There’s been chatter for a while now about Bruce Willis (67) stepping away from acting due to health concerns, but now his family has officially weighed in, according to People.

Every single one of his family members posted basically the same statement on Instagram. They explained that the big star is facing some health struggles and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which is hitting his cognitive functions hard.

"After a lot of deep thought, Bruce has decided to wrap up a career that means the world to him. This is an incredibly tough time for our family, and we're so grateful for all the love and support you've shown us. We're getting through this by sticking close together as a family, and we wanted to let you guys know because we know how much Bruce means to you, just as much as you mean to him."

The man’s a legend, having snagged a Golden Globe and two Emmys along the way.

mistyhound94 said:The "magic" of this forum? Yeah, real magical when you can't log in for twenty minutes straight. Or when you get a notification, click it, and suddenly it just vanished into thin air. It’s a total blast, basically like riding an Amtrak train. 🙂

And if you won't cough up $10 AN ANNUAL FEE to actually upgrade the servers and give us better features, then whatever, you deserve to deal with this mess. I'm not exactly loving it, but at least I try to drop constructive feedback. Honestly, a membership fee would probably kill off most of those bot clones too, and maybe people would actually watch their mouths more. 🙂

$10 Every year? Look, I'd drop 1000 bucks right now, but that's just opening Pandora's Box

It's like the Eurovision Song Contest—the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy dump the most cash into the EBU, so they pretty much coast straight into the finals.

Me? I'm paying for a forum—so tell me exactly what I'm getting for my money.

So yeah, be careful what you wish for.

You gotta hit that "remember me" box.

The forum’s been moving at a snail's pace the last few days. Threads are lagging and PDFs are taking forever to load. Get this fixed already.

frozenbadger32 said:Damn, seriously, props to you for putting in all this work and getting these details right 👍 plus those reminders about Kostadinov’s absolute nonsense (honestly, I forgot how much he used to get under my skin, this just brought it all back)

thanks 👍

Look, there’s already an option for that—just hit ignore.

Man, they've been hyping this movie up for actual centuries.

Word on the street from some pretty solid sources is that the FDIC is fast-tracking an emergency sale of Sberbanka here in the States.

Basically, this is a European Union institution that stepped in after the European Central Bank decided Sberbanka's branches in Austria, Canada, and America wouldn't meet their standards anymore because of massive liquidity issues. Now, they've slapped a freeze on all payments for those three banks.

Unofficially, I'm hearing this whole sale of Sberbanka in America could wrap up before the moratorium on Mexican assets expires—meaning we might see movement in the next forty-eight hours.

You're a legend 🙂 😘

My question is, why on earth am I blocked from adding images under the policy PDF section? It works fine in some spots, but here? Totally locked out. Why is that?

Vinegar?

So, ten different countries have officially slammed the door on Russian airlines, banning them from using their airspace.

Poland was the first one to pull the trigger, and then the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Latvia, Canada, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic all jumped on board. Throw in Ukraine, and you've got ten nations total enforcing this ban. Basically, Russian planes are being forced to take massive detours around a huge chunk of Europe.

Russia, naturally, hit back with the exact same thing.

Meanwhile, here in the States, we aren't really taking any massive, direct action like that. We've voiced our condemnation of the aggression, rolled out sanctions (just like the rest of the EU), and opened our doors to refugees, but that's about it.

I can't even upload a single photo of the fighting or a map of the War in Ukraine, nothing at all

Can you guys seriously just let us post images while the war is still going on?

Thanks!

Standard & Poor's just knocked Ukraine's long-term credit rating down from a "B" to a "B-" in both foreign and local currencies. They're basically saying the whole situation with Russia is putting massive risks on the country's economic growth and financial stability.

S&P also mentioned they might slash those ratings even further if this conflict causes Ukraine's external liquidity to dry up.

Why is everyone freaking out over the proposal to kick Russia off SWIFT?

The Landscape of Ukraine

Cezary Kulesza, the head of the Polish Football Association, just dropped the news that their national team isn't going to step onto the pitch for the World Cup play-offs against Russia. It’s all because of Russia's aggression toward Ukraine. As part of the extra qualifying rounds for the World Cup 2022, the Polish squad was scheduled to head out to Moscow on March 24th.

"Enough talk, it's time to actually do something. Because of how much Russia is escalating violence against Ukraine, the Polish national team won't be playing against Russia. There’s simply no other right way to handle this," Kulesza said. Now, Poland is teaming up with Sweden and the Czech Republic—who are also supposed to play their qualifiers in Russia—to present this unified stance to FIFA while they wait for the big bosses at the global soccer organization to make a final call.

This follows a massive wave of boycotts. UEFA already stripped Russia of their hosting rights for the Champions League, Formula 1 pulled its races from the country, and even the International Olympic Committee stepped in to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing under their own flags or anthems.

Russia is already throwing shade at Sweden and Finland just for even thinking about joining NATO
