Check out this video where some Russian guy talks about collecting Putin's crap.

...

And then you’ve got that thief up there posting a video about "woke" stuff in schools over in the Midwest. I'm absolutely stunned! 🤣 Like, newsflash—some people are just now realizing girls can play soccer and guys can be ballerinas? Give me a break. 😂

It turns out the decade I spent going to school in America—back in the eighties—was actually the "modern future." 🤣 So what, did we all just decide to drive in reverse after that? 😉

When was the last time Prince Mandic wore makeup anyway? 🙂

Arthur Sanders74 said:Here is the video. Where exactly is everyone discussing the collection of Putin's crap? Apparently, some Russian guy is talking about it.

🤣 It seems like you might have cut off mid-sentence there. I wasn't quite sure what you were getting at with that last bit! If you were trying to make a point or ask a question, feel free to jump back in whenever you're ready. I'm all ears. I guess I was just thinking about how much things change when you hit that eleven-year-old milestone. It’s such a strange, transitional age, isn't it? You aren't quite a little kid anymore, but you definitely aren't a teenager yet either. Maybe that's why everything feels a bit more intense or confusing during that stage. I suppose it's just one of those life phases where you're caught right in the middle of two different worlds. I suppose I should probably mention that leakeru has been quite active lately. It feels like they’ve been popping up everywhere, though I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe it's just my imagination, or perhaps things are just moving faster than usual. Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on it. 🤣)
...
I think that thief posted another one of those videos about woke culture creeping into schools in the Midwest. I’m honestly just stunned! 😂 It’s like some people are only just now realizing that women can play soccer and men can be ballet dancers! lol

It feels a little bit cheeky, I guess, but hey, what can you do? Honestly, I’m all for it. I actually really liked seeing that they included the section on men's makeup too. 🙂 I mean, honestly, I feel like they really went overboard with that whole argument about women not needing permission to go out. Like, seriously, which country are we even talking about here? 🤔)
It turns out that the decade I spent going to school in America—back in the eighties—was actually a decade of the modern future! 🤣 So, I guess you're asking if things just went into reverse after that? Maybe that was the move, though I'm not entirely sure. 😉

It’s true that things have been moving, though I don't think it’s been shifting toward both ends of the spectrum quite like it has over there. It feels like the Republicans have turned into total monsters, while the progressives have become these radicalized red cells. Even the centrists and liberals seem to be viewed as everyone's worst enemy lately. I guess it's just how things are trending here. 🤣 I guess social liberalism still exists over in Europe, so you don't really have to worry about facing terror just because you didn't think exactly the way the authorities prescribed. Yours.I feel like I’m missing even the slightest bit of clarity here, especially when it comes to actually knowing who the real enemies are. To be honest, the way things are handled over there doesn't sit right with me at all—though, I guess I might not have the full picture since I don't live in the States. I tend to actively avoid these topics, mostly because they just feel so exhausting after a while.
I wonder when that might happen... maybe soon? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Prince Mandic I guess he was just putting on some makeup. Maybe he was trying to clean things up a bit, or perhaps he was just fixing his appearance? It’s hard to say for sure, I suppose.? 🙂

I just finished reading "I Feel Like Screaming in Your Name," and honestly, I feel like just letting out a huge scream myself. It’s one of those books that really gets under your skin, you know? I guess I wasn't quite prepared for how much it would affect me. Maybe it was just the timing, or maybe it's just the way the story unfolds, but I'm still sitting here trying to process everything. It's a lot to take in.

I guess Mandic is feeling a little bit "on edge" today, if you know what I mean. He’s acting a bit like Bob lately.

It looks like all the heavy hitters have been banned, and apparently, there’s a whole crowd of people who actually cheered for it. I was just reading about how they were targeted for their last criminal act against civilians. Even Saugaro is still hanging around, constantly posting calls to shut off all emotions. Honestly, sometimes I feel like we should just throw everything into one big pile and flush it all away.

You gave him a really solid comeback, honey.

Guns of Brixton As I was saying:
Thanks, Arthur Sanders74. If I had been the one opening this chat, I probably would have titled it "Chat - Responding to bluecyclist64's Bottom-of-the-Barrel Takes." Honestly, your version is much better—it feels a bit more inclusive.

But I suppose I have to... eventually, something always manages to stick to your shoe and you end up dragging it along with you. It’s just one of those things, isn't it?

I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen, nursing a lukewarm coffee, and thinking about how much the discourse around global security has shifted lately. It’s exhausting, really. You look at the headlines coming out of Washington or the frantic reports from the front lines in Ukraine, and it feels like we're constantly teetering on the edge of something massive. The way people discuss the tension between the US and Russia—specifically regarding the ongoing conflict involving Zelenskyy and Putin—often lacks any sense of historical weight. It’s all soundbites and social media outrage. I remember back when I was working in logistics in Chicago, we used to deal with supply chain disruptions that felt like the end of the world, but compared to the geopolitical chess being played right now, those were just minor hiccups. Now, we’re talking about potential escalations that involve major powers and nuclear rhetoric. It’s heavy stuff. There’s this persistent feeling of dread that lingers in the air, much like the atmosphere in a city right before a massive storm hits. You can feel the pressure building. We see the movements in the Pacific, the chatter surrounding North Korea's tko and Kim Jong-un, and you have to wonder if anyone in leadership is actually looking at the long game, or if they're just reacting to the latest crisis. It makes you cynical. You start to realize that most of what we consume as "news" is just noise designed to keep us agitated. It’s hard to maintain a sense of calm when the very foundations of international stability seem to be shifting under our feet. But, I suppose that's just the modern condition, isn't it? Just waiting for the next headline to tell us how much more uncertain the world has become.

You aren't kidding around here, and frankly, you’re acting completely irrational. I honestly can't pinpoint exactly what your issue is, but you seem to have no concept of basic human boundaries. If you had said anything else, I would have just ignored you and moved on, but this cat... she got to me. It felt like she was mine, like I actually knew her. Regardless of who you think you are—and let's be honest, you aren't much of anything—one would assume you could grasp that certain lines simply shouldn't be crossed. I truly regret getting myself dragged into this mess by responding to you, and I regret letting myself get provoked enough to do this, but I only have her photo, so I posted it. tu It only took one day. As soon as I dropped her off in the hallway, she bolted straight for the bedroom and curled up in the corner. I even tossed in an old sweater I found lying around just to make her more comfortable. Honestly, I feel a bit ridiculous even attempting to defend myself here; what you wrote was so incredibly twisted that I find myself clutching at straws, using this single photo of a pathetic little cat as a shield—a cat you shouldn't even be looking at in the first place. It might look fine in this shot, but it isn't. And for the record, this isn't some stray; she’s my cat now, one of mine. Your post left me genuinely stunned. Based on our interactions in Chat Room 3 a while back, I've gotten a clear enough sense of who you are to know that what you wrote wasn't some kind of joke. So, spare me the snide remarks about my "avatar cat." You were outright accusing people of lying, and frankly, that reveals a level of paranoia that is hard to stomach.

You’re predictable and transparent, which is why I think I know exactly why you decided to invent this whole "cat" scenario—especially since you already coordinated it with Ship. Honestly, those twisted fantasies and fixations you have regarding him are a whole other issue entirely. It’s like comparing a common feline illness to the plague. I really should approach this madness with nothing but pity, but I am just too livid right now. When an animal's life is on the line, it hits differently. I spent the last two days already picturing what kind of companion she would have been, only to have this chaos thrown in my face.

Well, this is it. This is my final word on the matter.

My stepfather and I took her to the vet—I’d actually called him up that morning just to ask him to bring over the dog crate. As soon as he took one look at her, he immediately brought up parvovirus causing panleukopenia, though he also mentioned feline AIDS once and panleukopenia several times after that, even when we followed up with him later. She hasn't been tested for anything specific yet; these were just his observations based on her appearance and behavior. He did insist that we throw away the disinfectant used in the crate. Later, I gave him a call to double-check if I really should toss the crate, and he told me to just wash it with Virkon. Last night, I was scrolling through info on feline AIDS because I was considering adopting an infected cat as soon as I'm able—apparently, with the right care, they can live long, happy lives. It was only then that I realized panleukopenia is actually feline distemper, not AIDS. It is incredibly contagious and significantly harder to eradicate. It left me genuinely confused as to why he suggested we keep the crate when that poses such a massive infection risk. I assume there are cleaning agents that could handle it, but honestly, there's no reason to take that gamble, especially since my dog isn't exactly in peak health as it is. I thought about calling him again on Monday to confirm everything one more time, mostly for the sake of being thorough, and perhaps to gently point out that we were talking about feline distemper rather than AIDS. I think he might have already addressed the question of whether the dog could catch it while we were there; my stepfather asked him directly. Neither of us is entirely certain what the answer actually was. The stress of the situation was overwhelming, and she was in such terrible condition—regardless of how she looked in that photo—that you ask a question and the answer just doesn't register. I did some Googling: feline AIDS isn't a concern, but feline distemper definitely is. My dog won't be coming back to my apartment anymore; she's old and ailing, but other people will be visiting, and I need to be absolutely sure about this. I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but there were no tests performed, so let me recap this entire timeline of confusion: my stepfather asked if we needed to worry about rabies, the vet mentioned the final stages of feline AIDS, and then later on the phone, he only referred to panleukopenia. We assumed they were the same thing at the time. God, he answered our question regarding the possibility of transmission to the dog, and we still aren't sure if he was clear. And yes, I realize I said he mentioned feline AIDS first, then said he mentioned panleukopenia first a few sentences later. If that messes with your head... well, life is messy and things happen. That was just the reality of the situation.

(Based on how much I’ve come to understand your way of reasoning, this is exactly why you called me a lying hack. I’m certain of it, because you’ve labeled people liars over far less. I honestly feel for you; you are so incredibly limited by your own rigidity and paranoia, yet somehow so bloated with an ego and a conviction that you can never be wrong. It’s a toxic combination. But look, you aren't alone in this—clearly, I have my own issues too. Why would anyone who doesn't have these problems bother trying to prove anything to you when they already know the truth and have seen who you really are? No one. No sane person would. That’s why, as I write this, I feel a sense of self-loathing, because this kind of communication isn't healthy for me. These absurd accusations trigger me completely; I had the misfortune of knowing a milder version of you once, so my default setting is to start defending myself, no matter how ridiculous the accusation is. Unfortunately, I don't take pride in that, but it’s just how I am. Fortunately, I’ve learned to stay away from people like you, even though the "right" choice might be to deal with it. However, it’s simply cheaper—in terms of time and money—to just steer clear of people like you, something I know how to do in real life, though apparently not here online.

The only way to handle people like this is simple: Get lost. You're repulsive. Don't ever address me again.

It's straightforward. One advantage of the digital world is that I can throw up a shield, tell you to get lost, and never see you again—just delete you like a smudge on my shoe. It’s all the same, really.
ps
And if you try to claim now that you didn't mean anything by it or that it was just a joke, you'll only succeed in making me despise you even more.

I couldn't care less about your disdain, but it's hard to watch you lose yourself. I mean, to think you could extract anything from my sarcasm other than pure paranoia...😵
I fear you've projected your own diagnosis onto me this time—you'd be better off seeking some professional counsel from a decent psychiatrist, or whatever they call a mental health specialist where you are.

Kevin Jones19 said:None of this matters, because I know no one is going to come knocking on my door with a draft notice or FBI handcuffs.

It sounds incredible—but even I am glad you escaped that madness.
And you'll finally have the chance to learn how to live a more modest, rational life.👍

Arthur Sanders74 said:So why did judo think Guns would marry BSA? 🤔

Midnight approaches, the show goes on
we get in the car and drive onward
outside the city lies a plot of land
a beautiful spot at the edge of town
making love while the air grows heavy
a piercing light shines directly upon us
it isn't normal, so that must be the train
I grab the wheel and step on the gas
cold sweat trickles down my neck
paranoia, we flee into the dark.

Arthur Sanders74 said:Good grief, I just stumbled upon this rumor... apparently, whenever Putin has an intestinal issue, some agents swoop in to collect the samples and hide them from the public. They claim even the specific nature of his illnesses can't be analyzed if they don't have direct access... 🤦

If there's any truth to this 🤔 then we are truly screwed.

My goodness—you really are quite naive, aren't you?🤣
Think about it logically from a spy's perspective: what kind of ridiculous trick would you use to identify Putin's waste specifically while it's sitting in a sewer?🤣

Review:

Linda King said:All the Titans have been banned, and apparently, there are people responsible for it. I just read about the latest atrocity committed against civilians. Jerry Robinson is still active, though, constantly posting calls to suppress one's emotions. Honestly, if we could just pile everything into a heap and wash it all away with a flood, we might be better off.

You gave him a solid rebuttal, rowdytiger13.

Thank you, 🙂

I certainly hope you are as lovely on the outside as you claim to be on the inside, so as not to waste my time needlessly.*

The Titans you are referring to 🤣 hail from the land of Lilliput, and you failed to grasp the concept of suppressing emotion because you are merely analyzing news reports rather than being an eyewitness. This is especially true when you aren't even operating within the arena where these events actually occur.

Do you understand now? ... switch off the emotions and turn on the brain.

My posts are highly personalized, which renders them incomprehensible to many—a predictable outcome, given they don't pertain to them.

* Are you familiar with that story about Fata and the choice she was forced to make?

Think back to the fallen defenders of Snake Island... back when everyone was still alive.

Regrettably, the Russians kept their word. Zelenskyy confirmed that all the soldiers died bravely defending the island.

"All the defenders of Snake Island fought as hard as they could. They fell heroically. Every single one of them will be honored posthumously. We will forever remember those who gave their lives for Ukraine," said Zelenskyy.


And what can I say... girl.

P.S. One of your "few" Titans is actually two people. The sheer volume of stupidity they produce (especially that Kloa clone) couldn't possibly belong to a single individual—unless, of course, one is a little girl driven by nothing but feelings.

In short, they are utterly incapable of answering any question without inevitably failing every single time.

Review:

bluecyclist64 said:Suppose you were operating as an intelligence asset—just a thought experiment, of course. If you found yourself navigating the sewers, how exactly would you go about identifying Putin's waste?🤣

bluecyclist64... even the restroom has been personalized. 😁 All you see is the shell... isn't that right? Everything else is merely a matter of assumption.

One really ought to surround oneself with more intelligent company; solutions are invariably simple and elegant.

One glance at the satirist in that video tells you everything you need to know. Based on phenotype alone, Marty Feldman would yield a significantly higher IQ score than what was actually stated...

It’s clear that the man hasn't even identified his own source.

The situation regarding North Korea's recent escalations and their rhetoric surrounding nuclear capabilities remains predictably volatile. One has to wonder why they continue this specific pattern of brinkmanship. It seems designed to rattle the cage of international diplomacy, yet the actual strategic utility of such bluster is increasingly questionable. Looking at the current geopolitical landscape, there is a certain fatigue that sets in when observing these repetitive cycles of aggression. We see the usual suspects making predictable moves, while the global response oscillates between genuine concern and a weary, practiced indifference. It’s a calculated dance, really—one where the music never changes, only the intensity of the steps. One might argue that these provocations serve as a necessary distraction from domestic instability, or perhaps they are simply a way to assert relevance on a stage that would otherwise ignore them. Regardless of the motivation, the underlying tension remains a constant variable in our modern era. It is an exhausting cycle, but then again, nothing in international relations ever truly surprises those of us who have been watching the gears turn for long enough.

Jan 27, 2022.

It appears that Kim Jong-un maintains such an obsessive level of paranoia regarding his personal hygiene that he insists on transporting his own specialized toilet whenever he travels abroad. The implication is quite clear: any unauthorized individual caught utilizing his private facilities faces immediate execution. One has to wonder about the sheer logistical absurdity of such a requirement, yet it serves as a grim testament to his absolute isolation. It isn't merely about cleanliness; it is about the total control over one's most basic biological functions, ensuring that even a moment of vulnerability is strictly regulated by the state. Such is the nature of absolute power when it is untethered from reality.

image

There is a persistent rumor circulating that Kim Jong-un has developed a profound distrust of public restrooms. The reasoning behind this paranoia is quite calculated: he reportedly believes his waste contains sensitive data regarding his physical health, which could potentially be intercepted or analyzed if it were to fall into the wrong hands. It is a grim, yet strangely logical, extension of the constant surveillance inherent to life at the highest levels of power. It is a matter of principle, really. When authority falls into the wrong hands, the consequences are as predictable as they are grim. There is no room for optimism when incompetence meets absolute power. 😂

The article is clearly a piece of propaganda, though I have little reason to doubt that the underlying information itself is accurate.

I have just realized who is moderating this section. 😂

Not long ago, you were presenting yourself as an SOA operative, despite supposedly being a plumber by trade... how does that math work out?

Try to be an original for once, rather than a pale imitation of substance.

Let's try being inclusive for once. There isn't actually anyone from that crowd here except for Judah, whose posts are way too long for us progressive types to bother reading—plus he swears too much, and my mother always told me people like him are headed straight to hell.
Kloa sent a message about coordinating spots around Canada, so what's the move now?
Klo, we miss you; hit me up as soon as you get to Niš, and I'll whip up some pasta for you.

Last time you checked, you were claiming to be an SOA operative, despite supposedly being a plumber by trade... how does that work out for you?

Try being original instead of a pale imitation of nothing.

All you're doing is spreading hate, and that's about all there is to you.

Nobody here is an operative.
Judah is a senior sergeant who can't stand Zelenskyy. Guns and I are part of the diaspora. I clean toilets in Germany, while she's quite lovely and obsessed with tech. Arthur Sanders74 isn't a pilot, but he travels constantly. His trips just happen to coincide with visits from US officials, though fate plays its part since he's mostly just hitting up restaurants. In his downtime, he hunts alligators in Florida—which we call crocodiles.
Klo is a humanitarian worker from Niš, currently distributing aid to protesters in Canada.
IBS plays in a band.
Oh yeah, I forgot the most important part: I have a boyfriend in Mossad, which is exactly why all the Arthur Sanders74 reincarnations on this forum hate me.
The French West Indies lady doesn't post here anymore, which is a shame. She lived in France and the French West Indies for years. A retired French professor with a passion for foreign languages. She has character, and she's wonderful if you actually click with her.

I’m worried that maybe, just maybe, you’ve projected your own diagnosis onto me—so it might be best to go talk to a trusted therapist, or whatever you call those mental health professionals over there.
...

You have such a long history of calling other forum members liars, based purely on what I’ve seen in the chatroom. For instance, NevermindMe was accused out of nowhere and harassed with that claim from post to post; you accused Claude of lying about his degree because he used an American phrase you didn't quite catch (something about "coding apprenticeships"); and you even accused Arthur of lying about his background just because of his accent, which you teased constantly.

With a track record like that and the way you choose to communicate, I suppose it’s hard to say how much room you actually have left to play the joker and call someone a little liar, especially regarding whose death hit them so hard. And then there's the wondering why someone could possibly misunderstand you—well, I guess that's just life. Then there's the concern for my own mental state. It probably should have been clear, even looking back now, that this topic wasn't really something meant for teasing.

I suppose I resent that just when everything was starting to click for me, you stepped in. Even though everything is still so fresh, and you aren't responsible for my reaction or for the fact that I posted her picture, I still feel a sense of resentment toward that, and every little detail I wrote about that cat's passing in that post.
