Nope. I'm just not bothering to argue. As I said I wouldn't, from the outset. You got the context, and they were all taken from, to forestall yet another semantic dissimulation, the top of the informational pyramid of a news article, ie where the most important, easy to see and most frequently summarised information came from. You complained about not getting direct citations yet apparently you got enough information to find them and read them too. Your summary of their contents is, of course... interesting, but that's par for the course, in any case it's clear that your demand for citations was not from any genuine need for the information but just for a complaint (and make work, lest we forget you've linked a 2 hour video with 'just watch it' before, for similar effect). As I said: your argument shifted to It's all the Harvard Professor's fault! once it became obvious Russia wasn't going bankrupt and indeed, hasn't in 130+ months since. Point proven, methinks. lol, the poor unfortunate journalists, it's their eternal good fortune that Gromnir is on the case to defend them from vile calumny on the Obsidian forums. Of course, works a bit less well when you've just thrown a Harvard Professor under the bus to avoid admitting you were wrong. And when you've accused Trump's medical staff of effectively lying about his health to prop up your speculation about it. (Journalists had been wrong about Russia imminently invading for just about every year since 2022- that's the evidence. You don't get much credit nor benefit of the doubt for being correct, on the sixth(?) attempt. Indeed, I posted a rather long list (with cites) of them doing so. I've also posted a rather long list, with cites, of articles claiming Russia would be bankrupt in x months in 2014 to show a pattern there, the usual yellowcake/ WMD laundering from 2003 when you claimed no one lied over the lead up to that war and rather a lot of others. They are the reason I've come to the conclusion doing so with you is pointless and a waste of time) In the eternal words of the great philosopher Kylie Minogue Stock Aitken Waterman: I should be so lucky. Seems you're well, never gonna give me up. One might wonder why you bothered saying it as an option then, if you were so adamant about not doing it.

his health concerns no doubt take precedence. avoiding the aggravation is the path o' wisdom. and even w/o him positing, am certain he would recognize how trump 2.0 has been a nightmare for personal liberties, truth and human decency, but do you believe he would budge from his contention that biden was just as bad and kamala might have been worse? we would be shocked if he had given a fraction o' an inch on the they are all bad bit. the ostrich impersonation survived january six, trump being found liable for digital rape, criminal fraud conviction for his business and trump refusing to return nuclear secrets to the national archives, yes? that said, am genuine hopeful @Guard Dog is enjoying improved health... and wisconsin's -10 C temperatures as well as the ice fishing paradise that is lake winnebago in january. HA! Good Fun!

what is this nonsense new forum ui where is the dark mode how can one switch back to the old layout edit at the bottom of the page very intuitive

am surprised to admit the recent french troll efforts is clever and amusing and previous posted macron sporting the bidenesque aviator glasses deserves a bit o' a penalty, but am giving 'em a B+. HA! Good Fun!

Grounded 2 should add a giant leaf pile that has centipedes, earth centipedes, millipedes, and potato bugs. It should also have centipedes and millipedes inside the vegetable garden. I have a garden and there are always a bunch of these bugs around it. I think this could be a great addition and challenge to grounded 2. I hope you take it into consideration!

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260128-us-embassy-angers-danish-veterans-by-removing-flags The US continues to be a troll state, I guess.

you are being obtuse. your conceit is that the listed quotes, sans context o' how they were used in stories (and purposeful failing to reveal that the stories were in fact ambivalent and equivocal regarding pahlavi influence... naughty,) revealed some kinda self-evident gestalt conclusion that the west were embiggening pahlavi. voicing your conclusion is not meaningful context... but this tragic rear-guard defense is sophistry... again. *chuckle* your after the fact ledes silliness were an effort to grant context to rando quotes by mere fact the unlinked and unattributed quotes were ledes. you spent multiple posts on that tangential idiocy to try and invent and invest context. am still trying to figure out how you thought (hook + essential facts) = (summary opinions,) but such was always irrelevant. 'course you not getting it, and purposeful deflecting is your mo. spent how many days plagued by you after the israeli attack o' iran 'cause you were doing strawman... you just couldn't accept that Gromnir were critical o' israel's excuses for attacking and so you ignored and lied about our arguments to further your anti-israel position... which were kinda insane as, again, Gromnir were criticizing the israeli rationale for attacking iran. just another example o' how what is said by Gromnir don't matter as you deflect, indulge in the sophistry, and flat out lie when confronted with inconvenient facts. is your modus operandi. compulsive. you just can't help self. we posted the position o' a harvard economist who claimed that if russia didn't take drastic measures, they were facing a currency collapse. economically, russia is a gas station with an army, so contrary to zor positions, sanctions can be devastating... which has always been part o' the problem. nobody wants a russian collapse, and pre 2021, nobody wanted russia desperate enough to do something zor thought were unthinkable, such as invading ukraine. is a difficult balancing effort when dealing with such a vulnerable economy. and you still don't get that it ain't about being wrong. many people were wrong about ukraine. what you did were impugn the character o' people involved in reporting about ukraine in spite o' a paucity o' evidence or support. cops in sheboygan and uvalde is no different than the journalists you smeared before the russian invasion. you arrived at a conclusion o' moral turpitude, and then stuck with it and lied about it even when evidence did become available. blix calling bush a liar was never true; you made it up. when you were final confronted with evidence o' blix stating bush were truthful about wmds, you doubled-down and pointed out that blix were a diplomat, functional calling blix the liar. am having been personal wrong many times. example: we thought trump were a smaller problem than many imagined in 2016. we pointed out that pretty much everything he were claiming he would do would require Congressional support he were unlikely to ever manage. we would like to go back to 2015 and give our self a good smack for our naivety. we did not foresee the scope o' trump danger... but we didn't suggest that those who saw trump as a transcendental threat were attacking trump for malicious reasons. so what? it ain't being wrong which is the problem. your reflexive character smears before it is possible to make a reasonable and informed conclusions is problematic. your routine misstating o' history, sources and facts is problematic. your lies is problematic. see, this is what you do. find where we said we had put you on ignore. "you are pathological. took a while for the locals to come around to the idea that attacking the character o' individuals before relevant facts has had been established all too often makes the accuser look like a fool in hindsight. that sorta behaviour happens less around these parts than it once did. am hopeful these continued exercises have a similar positive effect. most o' us take factual claims made by fellow posters at face value, 'cause who could be bothered to check every link and source, but zor is so utter incapable o' intellectual honesty that it is good practice to search every source and verify every quote... or just ignore you." you are the one clown am not gonna ignore anytime soon. even expressed our admitted wishful thinking that others begin verifying yourr source and fact checking when dealing with zor. why would we ignore you when you have provided us with multiple opportunities respond to and illuminate your misrepresentations since only the middle o' last year, and that is with us being in absentia for weeks and even a month at a time. we offered advice on how boardies should deal with you. ignore is indeed best, at least until you stop lying reflexive. converse, check all your claimed sources and experts. doveryay, no proveryay bad advice when dealing with zor. don't trust.

This would be a good time for Guard Dog to visit the forums. Really curious to hear how he's reacting to current events.

Sorry for the delay! We should be back online again (after some scary update stuff). Please excuse the theming as we update it over time, but if you notice any issues with functionality, please let us know so we can look into those. Thanks everyone!

It’s a shame that I never used this technique before, now it’s clear to me. In the end, she still two-shots me, so I’ll need a bit more practice. This kind of hidden fight feels a bit unfair to me. I wonder if a Herald (Troubadour/Darcozzi), as Kaylon often recommends, could defeat them all in a straight face-to-face fight. Even if it would be a very long one 🙂

Enduring Dance gives you wounds per second and accuracy, too. If you stay hidden and only use Dichotomous Soul to send summons out from hiding it can last forever.

That’s what I was planning to do, but with standard equipment I’m lacking regeneration. I can dedicate one ring to that, beyond that it becomes a major compromise. I’ve never done it through an endurance dance, so I don’t really understand this technique. It seems to me that it costs mortification, which I can probably recover somehow.

Hi so i have not played the game but i would love to so please add the game to Ps5

Funny, I thought you needed a list of citations in order to check 'context' yourself? Isn't that what you were been complaining about ad nauseum? Yet now you know their context. Most strange. Both rhetorical questions, but perfectly illustrates why you aren't worth arguing with: you don't actually want citations, you just want to complain about not getting them in order to 'win'. Classic Gromnir, especially when accusing someone else of being dishonest. Couldn't care less about being wrong on Ukraine in 2022. That's always the risk you take having an opinion; and I certainly have no interest going back over all the previous times Russia was going to invade to find out who was wrong there. It's only a problem if the person insists they were right after being shown to be wrong. I would note however that that isn't a great example for you since you were hardly Nostradamus when it came to things Ukraine related, ie your claims that Russia would be bankrupt in 6 months back in 2014. Which even literal years later you were defending (then switched to it all being in the service of pure debate or some such, I had difficulty reading my eyes were rolling so much) wow less than an hour.

I think you misunderstanding me or Im not explaining my point properly The US is the worlds most powerful and influential country so even if you want to ignore what the US does it still has relevance through numerous geopolitical levels and its direct impact on the global economy. For example the entire worlds main financial markets follow US interest rates announcements because this has an impact on many currencies But Trump is just the US president for the next 3 years and after Midterms his ability to impact changes could be weakened if the GOP loses control of the House and Senate Thats not the same thing as being outraged and believing everything Trump says. He comments on Truth every few days and if you want you can be outraged 2-3/week for the next 3 years. Thats your choice I said from the beginning of Trumps presidency I was going to try very hard to not be influenced by Trumps SM comments, they often not the same as US official policy which does matter So the filter Im talking about is knowing the difference between " I want to create a Gaza Riviera " and " I will bomb Iran to stop them getting nukes " The latter was not only possible and understandable but the right decision by the US. Iran's nuclear program is no longer the global concern it use to be

Grateful for the update @SChin ... we'll keep the trolls of grumpiness at bay

9:30PM Update: Apologies folks. The update is proving to be a bit more complicated than initially thought. We will continue to prep the update and plan to push it live in the morning around 8AM Pacific. The downtime will hopefully take us less than an hour, but please excuse the interruption to the forum service as we try to update to the latest secure version of the forums. Thank you for your patience and understanding and sorry again for the interruption ❤️

previous to strange new worlds, which we saw less than a month ago, the most recent trek property am having watched were a bit o' discovery. based on most feedback we received from trek fans we know in rl, we saw no need to end our sabbatical. will give prodigy a chance. HA! Good Fun!

It would be great if you would add a mixr in the crouquet court or somewhere in the first area but the newer part that opened up with the old orc bugs returning because alot of us forgot to peep them and want to be able to do so without restarting just for a few creature cards, it is an easy fix for a problem many have and the community would appreciate it! And would also allow us to grind gold cards for those creatures as well. Thanks!

In the menu when I try to look a the sections Ominent and Sites and wonders it skips over then and will not allow me to view them. Also I have spoken to several people in streamers chats having the same problem as me with the milk molars not showing up on the map. Like I can collect them but not view where I found them on the map. Thanks!

Keep falling through the map heading north on the wall separating the new and old parks right when I go past the tire with the wolf spider in it.It has happened at least 20 times. Thanks!

Summon twins + run and hide + Mortification of the Soul? Just force the wounds, rinse, and repeat?

While I don't enjoy the more modern language in Strange New Worlds, I still enjoy it, new Gorn aside. To me it's easily the second best NuTrek after Prodigy, which was better than it had any right to be. It was aspirational and they were fighting against their immaturity instead of leaning into it, which they could have since the crew was actual kids/young adults.

ok, am knowing this is trivial, but am nevertheless gonna point out that even as a guy who grew up as a white sox fan, the first thing we think o' when we recall wgn in the 80s and 90s is that they carried cubs games... am s'posing MASH reruns is what we recall second from that time period... and then yeah, bozo. ds:9 is our favorite trek series for the same reasons which annoy @Amentep, although we did recent watch strange new worlds season 1 for the first time and we enjoyed it. HA! Good Fun!
