Another nonprofit? Seriously, how many of these things are floating around the States now, like a million? 😕 I mean, if you’re actually going to go through the trouble of starting an association, at least do it right and pick one specific niche to focus on instead of trying to tackle everything under the sun...☕

Look, you might have a harder time spotting it through all the city light pollution compared to being out in the middle of nowhere, but yeah, you’d definitely be able to see it with the naked eye, like a little wandering star drifting by. 😁
Maybe give it a shot if you’ve got a beefier telescope on hand, because then you might actually get a decent look at the ISS, though honestly, if you know what you're doing with your gear, just aim it right at 😁
So, if you look up over the next ten days or so, you should be able to catch the ISS cruising through the sky 😁 It’ll basically look like a slow-moving star, which actually makes it pretty easy to spot. 😉 On Tuesday at 9:10:55 PM, this bright little thing called the ISS will head across the southwest sky in just a few minutes. Then on Wednesday, we're actually treated to two separate flybys. The first one kicks off at 8:00:47 PM, where the ISS will show up low on the horizon just west of south, slowly climbing up toward the southeast before passing high above Jupiter and eventually "vanishing" into Earth's shadow a bit north of east, still pretty low down. The second pass starts at 9:35:54 PM over the west, with the ISS heading toward Ursa Major over the northern horizon. But honestly, Thursday night is the big one if you actually want to see it. It starts at 8:25:10 PM in the southwest, hits its peak right overhead at 8:28:04, and then disappears out the northeast by 8:30:35—meaning you get a solid five minutes of viewing. During that window, the ISS hits a magnitude of -3.5, making it hands-down the brightest thing in the sky. Basically, between 8:00 and 9:30 PM, if you don't have anything better to do with your life, just stare at the sky and maybe you'll spot the ISS and the astronauts waving back at you 🤣 Just a heads-up though, they might tweak the station's orbit, so if anyone wants the hyper-accurate tracking data, check out www.heavens-above.com and keep an eye out for any trajectory adjustments. 👍
As soon as I spotted this thread, my mind went straight to that old Viet Cong game. http://www.vietcong-game.net/index2....game/weaponsen. You can find all the sound effects there, and it even specifies which weapon they belong to 👍 I actually had a few of those clips saved on my phone, especially that one AK-47 blast 😁 It was absolutely killer 😁
So, why don't you go ahead and tell us exactly which moderator we're talking about here? I mean, there’s really no point in all this drama about moderator persecution if we don't even know who the culprit is. 🤷

And then they have the nerve to claim this site is just for fun, rather than being yet another media outlet under political oversight... I can't tell if that's more pathetic or just plain sad... I think I'm done posting here... If those politics moderators were aiming for this result, well, mission accomplished...
That’s why I’m telling you, take a screenshot, and if you see a specific post gets nuked, go straight to the admin instead of the mod. But most of them won't even look at your complaints or reply to messages; they pretty much hide behind the automated system. Of course, now the mods will pull the "we aren't obligated to explain why we deleted your posts or gave you a warning" card. It's a crappy rule, but they stick to it religiously. 🤷 Most of the mods on this site don't even deserve to be running these subforums...
bluefalcon14 said:I mean, honestly, I just don't have all day... and let's face it, I'm pretty clearly wasting what little time I actually have by hanging out on this forum, which barely even feels like one anymore...
Look, it would only take you a few seconds to set that up, and it’d honestly make things way easier for you when you eventually have to prove they're deleting your posts. 😉
Honestly, if I were you, I’d start grabbing screenshots of everything you post right now, just so you have the receipts to prove they’re being wiped. I totally get where you're coming from because I've dealt with this exact same nonsense before—one particular moderator, who I'm sure you know exactly who I mean—kept nuking my posts too, and it makes the whole thread look pretty damn pathetic and disjointed when half the conversation is missing. 👎

As far as I know, there aren't really many shops that carry jerseys from all different teams—usually it's just the big names—but you might want to check out Dick's Sporting Goods, some outlet malls, or maybe King Cross.😉
Scott Watson said:👍Jer jerseys are cool and all, but they wouldn't pass the "technical inspection" 🤣
I mean, obviously they look great, but what on earth are you talking about when you mention a "technical inspection"? 🤣
Ashley Gomez69 said:Beyond just the blatant homophobia, what really gets me is how people try to sweep the whole topic under the rug. We’re living in the 21st century on a planet where about 10 percent of the population identifies as gay, so I honestly think having an open dialogue would do way more for educating kids and shaping their perspectives than this endless parade of "sanitized" users we see on Reddit. I truly believe that bans and censorship don't actually help anyone understand people with different sexual orientations; if anything, having real discussions encourages much healthier thinking, and even just one hater realizing that a gay guy deals with the exact same struggles as everyone else in the straight world would be a massive win for this online community.
Like, okay, maybe you meant 1%, but saying it's 10% is a huge stretch and I have no clue if you actually found that stat or just pulled it out of thin air 🙄 and honestly, I don't get why gay people are even starting threads here on this site when they already have their own dedicated spaces to vent about their issues, find partners, and whatever else. In my book, any thread like this opened up on this platform should just be shut down immediately, whether there’s one single post or a million of them.☕

Honestly, it’d be way more interesting if we were digging into great-grandparents or even deeper back into the family tree rather than just focusing on immediate relatives. My whole lineage traces back to the Midwest, so tracking my roots wasn't exactly a massive mystery ☕
