If she's acting like that, then yeah, he definitely deserves better. Here's a little something for her ~~~~

And then you've got Jens Stoltenberg speaking from just outside Washington, D.C. ☕

He should probably just make his move while the timing is still right.

Personally? I’d say the guy just dodged a massive bullet and got rid of a headache.

Looks like the Russians and Mexicans are getting teased about those tractors too 🤣

It’s a truly devastating situation if there are children involved and the mother simply loses her grip on reality. It feels incredibly heavy because you're fully aware of the deep psychological trauma being inflicted on those kids, yet somehow, the parent just doesn't seem to care. I suppose the same logic applies to men who blow up their marriages due to sheer stupidity, though I certainly don't mean to sound like a chauvinist by saying that.

And just look at how Plenkovics bursts with pride while jet engines roar overhead right in the middle of his press conference. Even a politician like Trump wouldn't pull a stunt this surreal. 🙏

Does anyone actually have the latest infection numbers? Seriously, does anyone know the count? 😁 It seems they are seizing the moment to roll back restrictions; I assume cases finally dipped below 1,000 and Omicron has officially run its course?

To all the Russia lovers out there, everyone trying to find some kind of excuse for what those Russian scum are doing in Ukraine: I hope you suffer the worst possible misery.

Three things on my mind...

First off, I started watching winning time about the Lakers dynasty during the Magic - Kareem era. I've knocked out the first two episodes, and honestly, it’s crazy enough and fun enough that I’m hooked. I'm really digging the show, even though I know they probably won't dive deep into the absolute dark side of that era.

Second, the series intro features one of my favorite hip hop tracks, The Coup - My Favorite Mutiny.

Third, long live real hip hop

Jonathan Barnes5 said:What exactly makes everyone think Zoki is on coke? Has anyone actually been in the trenches with him?

I can't say I've shared that kind of experience with anyone, so I wouldn't know if he's ever tried it. And I highly doubt anyone is on a regular white powder habit.

The wildest part to me is hearing people claim, "Oh, it's common knowledge; you can tell just by how someone acts when they're on cocaine."

It’s the same nonsense people spout about gay men. I've heard some truly surreal stories floating around half of America, where people act as if they were personally victimized by certain individuals.

Honestly, you're splitting hairs here... it's difficult to explain this kind of thing online. You know how some people claim to have a "gay radar" and can spot each other instantly? It's the same deal with drug users. If someone has any experience with substance abuse, they look at the President's face and immediately assume he's on coke. There is a very specific, gaunt look combined with occasional sniffing that is characteristic of a long-term cocaine user. Look, I can't provide you with black-and-white physical evidence right now to make my argument stick, but this is a conclusion based purely on observing his appearance. It's just as obvious as spotting someone who is gay.

Listen, you hit the nail on the head. I read your post in one sitting, and I can confirm you’re absolutely right—at least from where I stand. This past Sunday, I broke down and cried like a child at my family's graveside. It was just one of those days where everything hits you at once. On top of trying to learn how to navigate life without anyone by my side, this whole situation with my job happened. Now, I find myself trying to rationalize everything in my head. I tell myself, "Okay, you have this much in savings, and if you spend it wisely, you can hold out until you find something new." But honestly, man, the mere thought that I might not even have enough money for bread and milk destroys any sense of logic. It triggers such intense fear and hysteria in me that, in my darkest moments, I think about pulling a trigger or cutting a vein. I feel like death would be better than facing starvation and total destitution. So, I agree with you: the fear of hunger is far more dominant and overwhelming than any other fear. It isn't surprising that people in places like Tuzla, freezing and starving, would choose death over enduring a hunger that drives a person to madness.

Who exactly is Bučevićka?

Just some friend of Balentica's.

And what about you, with your convenient memory lapses right before February 2022?

I’m still looking for that post you made somewhere in this thread about the thousands of Ukrainian civilians who were killed.

To take a page from Edo Maajka’s lyrics—it’s basically just the American version of Luis hej
an American spin

I consider it a personal achievement to remain completely ignorant regarding the identity of such people...

There are a million chances to take swipes at the Republican Party and the rest of them... but that certainly isn't the case with statements where you start relativizing Putin or trying to stir up drama during global events where our biggest allies are looking at you like you've lost your mind...

QUOTE=Justin James10;91600337]If it weren't for that retarded Banet, the rest of his crew is top-notch; they didn't even arrest him as a minister, though two others are under investigation 🙂 But let's just sweep it all under the rug because there's a war going on.

Do you honestly realize that those two things have absolutely nothing to do with one another? What possible connection could Aladrovic have to the war in Ukraine, or perhaps he's out there spitting on it while mocking the leadership of NATO...

The daily headlines should be about the Republican Party's corruption—not about how little Sergij or Ruslana are holding up in shelters in Lviv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mariupol, or even Donetsk.
Two weeks of fighting in Ukraine is enough for most people—they just want to move on—except maybe the retirees who sit glued to the news all day.
The way the President and the media mock our military and the Department of Defense is so calculated—it's designed to make us feel like we don't matter at all.
From what I see in the comments and talking to folks, the media has convinced us that we're the worst of the worst and that we should just mind our own business.
Most people just want this whole thing to end—any way it ends, really.
People think if it stops, fuel prices will finally drop back down—that things will return to that predictable, boring normalcy everyone is used to.
Nobody has some grand humanitarian agenda; I believe it's the same across the rest of Europe.
After a while, news about the war actually starts to irritate people—unless they are personally in danger—and they start to recoil from even discussing it.
We have a colleague from Ukraine at work, and I realized that after a certain point, out of pure politeness, we only ask how Mykolaiv is or if her nieces managed to get out of the city. We simply avoid the topic—we won't talk about it for more than five minutes over coffee, and we don't want to overwhelm her if she doesn't bring it up.
I've come to realize that many people handle crises this way—by simply refusing to listen or talk about it, choosing instead to focus on weekend plans, what groceries to buy, or where to go to the beach this summer.
So many people act just like those mindless hosts on morning shows or formatted radio stations—pushing nothing but happy, shallow topics, forcing a fake positivity and "sunshine and rainbows" attitude.

I've noticed this is the second or third time you've posted stuff like this. Have you thought about talking to a medical professional about these fears and frustrations? I'm asking seriously here—not joking and not judging.

It is perhaps a bit much to witness these two characters—one essentially acting as a glorified barista serving up coffee to elites, and the other just drifting aimlessly through the hallways of Brussels. 🙏

It really is quite a shame that we don't have any journalists of Kesić's caliber here in the States.
