Dorian, unfortunately, after reading your response, it's clear that Pila and his crew—suddenly Holger shows up out of nowhere...—are still just running a circus of trolls across all the threads. Either moderate properly, or just shut down the subforum and move it under other sports to maintain some semblance of order. I am still appealing for The Edge to take a look at this once-wonderful subforum; it used to be a place for insightful posts, not just a parade of online nobodies posting three lines of empty space and stupid little smiley faces.
Wait, what did I ever do to you? Who even are you?
Am I not allowed to post in the Formula chat? I showed up because I felt like having a conversation with maminhom and Pila... Does my presence in a standard chat topic really bother you that much? Look, if William Bennett53 wants me gone, I will completely withdraw from that PDF—not that I have many posts there anyway. I honestly have no idea why you've targeted me.
Matthew Anderson4 said:Yeah, there's probably nothing left of him after splashing into the Indian Ocean and sinking miles down. Remember how it took two years to find the black box from that Air France flight that went down in the Atlantic back in '09? They got lucky because they found the wreckage almost immediately—mostly just because the plane didn't pull any weird maneuvers like this Malaysian one, so they knew exactly where to look before it sank or the fuel slick vanished. On the flip side, by the time these guys realized their plane had veered off course and started searching the right spot, enough time had passed for all the evidence to vanish from the surface. Without scanning the seafloor, they aren't finding anything. That black box signal only narrows the search area down to the size of New Jersey, which doesn't help much since you won't know jack until someone actually dives down there.
It definitely hit the water. If it had hit land, they would've found it by day two. It went down; nobody hijacked it or any of that nonsense.
I watched a show where they argued it’s impossible for the signal to just vanish like that. Some expert claimed you'd need an explosion so massive it would have pulverized the plane into literal dust in a split second—and that’s nearly impossible.
Grace Patel88 said:From what I've been reading, the family mentioned that the victim's phone was still receiving calls five days after they went missing! That pretty much rules out any theory about an immediate explosion or a sudden fire. Honestly, man, the idea that nobody has stumbled upon wreckage or any part of the plane a full month after it vanished just doesn't sit right with me—it feels completely surreal!🙂
On a side note, seeing the tension at the local stadium today is wild! It's basically the hometown favorites versus the high-priced mercenaries!☕
Here is their explanation for why those phones might ring:
Families are caught off guard because they aren't getting voicemail, but experts claim that in certain instances, you'll hear a ringtone immediately after hitting the call button.
'That doesn't actually mean the phone you're calling is ringing,' claims analyst Jeff Kagan. He added that once a call is placed, the network starts searching for the device, initially basing its search on the last known location. From there, the search area expands, and if nothing turns up, the call simply drops.
The search can be instantaneous or take several seconds. During that window, depending on the model, the carrier, and other variables, the phone may ring to signal the caller that a connection attempt is being made. While the caller might hear four rings, the person being called might only hear one—or none at all.
Grace Patel88 said:It had to be something loud and over-the-top, just to reel Jonathan in. Even if he’s playing the troll card claiming he didn't even open it. ☕
I get it, but looking at the big picture, I don't think anyone actually died here. Time to switch to Plan B.
I'm following this daily because I'm genuinely interested. I'm not exactly a tech expert or anything, but wasn't there some way to track cell signals or something similar?
I've seen the question popping up on several different sites.
Patrick Martin said:The biggest joke of this whole thing? I honestly can't stand running. Like, at all. It’s just not my vibe. I’m more about lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment... ☕
What a player. 🙏 You'd probably get me banned if you had the chance. ☕
1. A police officer is authorized, either individually or as part of a unit, to employ special equipment under the following circumstances:
1) To repel an attack against a citizen or a law enforcement officer;
2) To prevent a crime or a misdemeanor from occurring.
Can we move forward with some actual detail here? I’m asking for this discussion to be reopened—it shouldn't be scrubbed just because someone is calling for the law to be upheld. 😕
Btw, feel free to lock this... I know it’s futile and that the arbitrary whims of those in power will continue regardless, but I felt the need to point out the issue.
goldenowl73 said:You can offer constructive criticism regarding their actions—but any calls for violence, or those troll posts that cheer on repressive punishment for "their provocation," will be flagged as hate speech and result in a ban.
So, I’m not allowed to call for them to enforce their own laws? 😕
Can I just head over to the subreddit about the state constitutional amendment and report every single person who justifies beating up veterans? Is that going to get flagged as hate speech too?
I'm just asking to see if these rules actually apply to everyone equally... 🤷
Just asking—can I go straight to the New York Times digital archives and report every single entry where they call for shutdowns or similar tactics against right-leaning politicians? You want to sanction that too, I suppose... just keep in mind there are quite a few posts like that from certain moderators over at the Times.
So, what about the people who support them? If this qualifies as hate speech, does supporting it make you a lunatic too? Are they going to be sanctioned next?
Besides, what kind of opinion is someone supposed to have about a group of girls who go out of their way to provoke people—shoving frozen chickens up their asses, having orgies in museums, and acting like complete idiots in churches?
If they actually deserve to be shut down, then is calling for their arrest considered hate speech? In my book, Breivik deserved to be locked up for what he did—is expressing that sentiment somehow hate speech?
If these women broke the law, are we suddenly forbidden from saying we want the law enforced and the criminals punished?
rustydrifter10, give me a break—be fair here. Look, the guy is a moderator, fine, but if a post saying "you absolute moron" only gets slapped with a 45-point penalty for insulting a user, then we’ve hit rock bottom... it's the death of common sense. Calling someone an "absolute moron" isn't just a minor insult—it's about as low as you can go.
Charles Fox10 said:You asked, you got an answer, and frankly, I have nothing left to add to this.
Chuck, seriously—don't be contradictory. Let's not play dumb here; we all know exactly what's happening: there's a blatant attempt to undermine the referendum.
Anyway, I'm working on a piece regarding Milanovic and how unemployment figures impact politics. I assume you'll follow your own little rules then—merging the topics and slapping the unemployment numbers right into the headline just so you don't end up being, in your own words, "someone slighted for their contribution"? 😕
crimsonjackal63 said:The moderators could really step things up—for instance, on that thread about Stipe Mesić, why not just add the annual price tag of his lifestyle right into the title? Or regarding Zoran Milanović’s administration... maybe include the actual unemployment numbers for the US. Just some food for thought...
You see, you hit the nail on the head there. I’m certain Charles Fox10 will agree with this—he doesn't strike me as the hypocritical type—especially considering his own previous comments... which actually apply perfectly to this whole situation with Milanović and the unemployment numbers:
I’m genuinely curious how anyone can argue that the cost of this referendum somehow insults our intelligence or common sense—especially when it’s been stated countless times before that democracy isn't free...
Look, it doesn't offend anyone's intelligence or common sense—and the unemployment numbers alone have been cited more than once already. It’s great that you pointed out how these things don't insult basic logic... so I assume there won't be any issue if we pair the topic of Milanović with the actual unemployment figures? 🤷
James Patel20 said:Some moderator clearly decided to slap a price tag onto the title of the thread regarding the "In the name of the family" referendum... so now I have to ask:
Should we just list the cost in every single political headline from now on?
What’s the price tag on democracy for Americans?
What does a government like this one actually cost?
What about tax compliance software?
What about health education?
Or better yet—how much is Josip Perković worth?
The latter seems to be priceless, apparently.
It looks like some people take their job of moderating the forum as an excuse to try and moderate the actual intelligence of the users.
If those moderators were even remotely intelligent, maybe this wouldn't be so unbearable.
As it stands, it just looks incredibly primitive.
Don't let them get under your skin. We all know who runs the politics section here, so you really should have seen this coming. Just leave it be—look at it from a different perspective. Regardless of what kind of country this is, I am proud to live in a nation where I actually have the right to vote in a referendum on this issue... whether it costs $47 million or $347 million doesn't even matter. Let it stay there. Believe me, it won't stop anyone from showing up to vote, and they'll face the ultimate consequence once the referendum passes anyway. So don't sweat it—everything will be fine, just don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you rattled. 🙂
Of course their hate speech needs to be condemned in the strongest possible terms—that's non-negotiable. It’s just as obvious that their ultimate goal is the destruction of marriage and traditional values. But let's be real: these various LGBT organizations have been quite frankly manipulated—others are using them as a front to push their own agendas, but it won't work. It shouldn't, and it won't.
Money isn't some kind of evil—you should actually be striving to stack as much of it as possible. No matter how much you have, there's always more to get, and that’s exactly how you need to approach it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wealth, provided it's earned legally. Of course, money carries massive weight and immense power; that has always been the case, and it's perfectly normal. Now we get all these tired clichés about how "money can't buy happiness" and whatnot... but honestly? I believe 99% of people are significantly happier with money than without it.
