Reddit - A third stroke of luck for world leaders

Kevin Jones19 said:Thanks so much
Here’s my attempt at posting an image from my Facebook account

It isn't showing up, so maybe the easiest way would be this (this is for Android, but if you're on iOS, you might want to ask Arthur Sanders74 😁):

1) Just head over to this link: https://postimages.org/

Right there, you can set it to "No expiration," or if you prefer, you could choose to have the images deleted after 1, 7, or 31 days—though I guess I'm not entirely sure if you can change that setting later on here.

2) Then just click the "Choose images"
button.
3) Go ahead and select "Files":

4) Open up the menu where I've circled it in red:

https://i.postimg.cc/9fWHQ6PK/Screen...0831-Files.jpg

5) From that list, just pick Gallery.

After that, you can just pick the images you want to post. Personally, I'd recommend selecting everything you want to upload all at once rather than doing them one by one; that way, you'll probably just end up with a single link to share on the forum.

6) Then just copy the link next to Link to this Gallery:

You can just post it on the forum just like any regular news link, rather than trying to post it as a direct image.

But seriously, why on earth did Judo think Guns would actually marry BSa? 🤔

🤣🤣

Driving from Moscow to Rostov—that’s about 13 hours on the road, surrounded by endless convoys of Wagner troops.
Then it was another 10 hours from Rostov to the border crossing, which was pretty nerve-wracking, honestly.
I guess it was a good thing there weren't any massive lines at the border, and we didn't look like some sort of hunting trophies to the guards, 🙂 so we managed to breeze through the border in the blink of an eye.
We were so completely exhausted that they probably didn't even realize we were finally free.
We've been staying here for two days now because the doctor and the specialist are basically "completely wiped out" due to pure exhaustion.
Tomorrow, we’re heading toward Turkey. 🙂
I don't think we had the guts to take photos of the military columns, and besides, taking pictures at border crossings is a criminal offense under RUD regulations.
Right now, we're in an apartment in a small town called Stefanatsmnd, and the view of Mount Kazbegi is actually quite lovely. Unfortunately, I haven't quite figured out how to upload photos online yet, but once I get back home to Montpelier, I'll get them up immediately.
The weather here is pretty miserable—just pouring rain and gray skies.
We head out for Turkey tomorrow.

This is great, really great reading this.🙂

This is a fantastic read, truly excellent stuff. 🙂

It’s all well and good to read this, provided you live in a peaceful, orderly world.
I can't quite put my finger on why... probably some security concerns, I suppose... but that border crossing between Russia and Georgia looks more like... a combat zone after heavy shelling. We were practically crawling over rocks on our bellies just to get the car through.

Is it looking bloated because of the Mac, or just because you have too much extra space? 🤔 😬

If it's because of the Mac... I guess those MacBook Pro laptops used to be decent once upon a time, but this latest one... man, from the swollen battery to the keys constantly sticking (like, some letters just double or triple up on me, so I end up typing stuff like "heelllooo," while others don't work at all, which means I'm always having to edit my posts). I've had to take it to the repair shop maybe four times now! 🙂 And honestly, macOS has just become so tedious. It's running Monterey now.

Anyway, lately I've just been keeping the Mac in one of the rooms (sic!) with the TV and using it for nothing important—just browsing, YouTube, checking forums... whereas any actual serious work gets done on Windows or Linux.

Apple used to be such a great company about ten years ago, but nowadays, I just can't stand their laptops or the iPhone, nothing at all!
I remember having my own iPhone once, and I was practically counting down the days until I could replace it. But then again, the company just hands you an iPhone to work with! 🙂 To hell with the iPhone!

Neither the Mac nor the iPhone—I wouldn't even take them as a gift because of how much I dislike Apple. They are shamelessly overpriced (I'm sure about the iPhone, though I used to think the Macs were better) and they just brazenly bleed money out of their fans, even if it actually hurts the device's functionality. I'm feeling a bit tired right now, but maybe I'll write more about this once I feel inspired. 😁

It's definitely a case of having too much extra space (and I still remember that kitchene that your wife decided to completely remodel because something spilled in there once!!!). But I suppose I can forgive that lack of tact since you're American, it's not your fault... and besides, you're in Miami, Florida... so I get it. 🕺 😁

Are Mexicans leaning more toward the Russians or the Ukrainians?

Linda King said:Neither Mac nor iPhone—honestly, I wouldn't touch them even if they were a gift, just pure aversion to Apple at this point. They are shamelessly overpriced (definitely the iPhone, though I used to think Macs were actually worth it) and they just ruthlessly bleed their fans dry, even when it messes with how the damn things actually work. I'm a bit wiped right now, but I'll write a whole manifesto about this once inspiration strikes. 😁

The whole thing is just a mess of rooms (and don't get me started on the kitchene that your wife decided needed a total overhaul just because something spilled in one corner!!!). But hey, I'll forgive the lack of tact since you're an American—not your fault, really... plus, you're from Miami, Florida... I get it. 🕺 😁

Kitchen is finally sorted! Now the bathrooms are next on the list!

Well, the kitchen is my kingdom. My love was craving some crepes (the thin, delicate kind, not those thick American pancakes) so I just whipped up about 15 of them. We're doing crepes with walnuts, honey, whipped cream, blackberries, raspberries, dates... She loves to eat but somehow never gains a single pound! 👍

Arthur Sanders74 said:But why on earth did judo think Guns would marry BSa? 🤔

I don't think that person actually thinks anything, really. It feels more like they're just lashing out because someone who thinks they're a big deal can't handle being ignored. And then, I guess, I mentioned that I had basically reposted his last meltdown directed at Ship, which just seemed to set him off even more. Just imagine being at the level of a two-year-old having a total tantrum, only to be met with a brick wall and complete silence. Would you calm down, or would you probably just get even wilder? I suppose that's the answer right there.

Arthur Sanders74 said:The kitchen is finally all finished! I think this year we might finally tackle the bathrooms.

Well, the kitchen is my domain too, I suppose. My better half was craving some crepes—you know, the thin, delicate kind, not those thick, heavy American pancakes—so I just finished whipping up about fifteen of them. I’m planning to serve them with walnuts, honey, whipped cream, blackberries, raspberries, and maybe even some dates... She absolutely loves to eat, yet somehow she doesn't gain a single pound! 👍

So, you guys only have one kitchen? Well, that's fine, I suppose. It works. I think I might have miscalculated or misconnected something on my end, though. (As for having more than one bathroom, that’s perfectly alright—I won't stand in the way of that, I guess.) ☕ If you happen to have a more spacious kitchen—well, maybe just keep that to yourself. Honestly, talking about it feels like way too much!

I suppose I should probably get started on this... maybe? Just some quick thoughts to get the ball rolling, I guess.
I suppose I’m okay with those so-called summer kitchens; I don't really count those as being part of the main structure.

Honestly, I feel like everyone's houses are just way too massive these days. Or maybe our places are just a bit too small... who knows, I guess. 🤷 😁

Ivanna, I'm honestly just relieved you managed to make your escape. 🎉
Best of luck with everything moving forward.

Linda King said:So, you have one kitchen? Okay, fine. I guess I misread the situation slightly. (Having extra bathrooms is cool—I'll allow it. ☕ But having multiple kitchens? Seriously, that’s just overkill!)

ps
I'm not counting those outdoor summer kitchens, though.

But honestly, your houses are all way too big. Or maybe ours are just tiny... who knows... 🤷 😁

Yeah, we’ve got one kitchen in this house. And frankly, it’s plenty. We’re slowly becoming "empty nesters"—you know, that term for parents left alone in the house once the kids grow up and head out to live their own lives. So yeah, we actually have too many rooms! One is for the kid when he needs to hide away from the world (which doesn't happen much, unless there's a thunderstorm rolling in), one is the office, and then there's the guest room... Honestly, we’d love to downsize to a little two-bedroom apartment; that would be more than enough for us.

She even cornered me into painting the garage—got that done yesterday, so now the cars can finally relax in a freshly painted white garage.

And all this drama just because I called her a cis woman! 🤣 Thank God she didn't pull a gun on me! 😉 (Note how cis people absolutely hate being called cis...)

Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward.

Didn't I tell you I’d pull off a last-minute getaway? 😉

cosmicgull52 said:Thanks for the reminder, I'm blocking you again.

👋 👋 👋

Kevin Jones19 said:It’s all just noise, honestly. I know nobody’s gonna come kicking down my door with a draft notice or some FBI handcuffs anyway.

Glad you're still kicking 👍

Kevin Jones19 said:This stuff is great reading if you live in some perfect, organized utopia.
I don't know what happened... probably some security bullshit... but that border crossing between Russia and Georgia looked more like a war zone after a heavy shelling. We were literally crawling over rocks on our bellies inside the car.

So basically, none of your people stayed behind in Russia?

Kevin Jones19 said:Didn't I tell you I was gonna bail at the last second? 😉

You ABSOLUTELY have to grab that Mexican citizenship!!!

So, yesterday I dropped this absolutely mind-blowing 🤣 and super interesting 🙂 YouTube video featuring Maher and Musk. If anyone feels like quoting me just to broaden the horizons of those folks living in the middle of nowhere—you know, the ones who think they're geniuses because they passed some basic IQ quiz on Facebook and then come here to brag about it... 😬

Kevin Jones19 said:Didn't I tell you I was going to make a run for it at the very last second? 😉

And that is honestly exactly what happened, because why settle for some basic drama when you could turn it into an action thriller instead...🤣 (🙂)

Good grief, did I just hear that right? Apparently, whenever Putin has a little "digestive issue," some agents swoop in to collect the evidence and hide it from everyone else. Like, they’re supposedly keeping his actual health data—everything from his ailments to the specifics—under wraps so nobody can run an analysis. 🤦

If there's even a shred of truth to this 🤔 then damn.

Honestly, I guess it was only a matter of time before cleaning up after Putin's mess became a legitimate full-time career path. ☕ (🤣)
