yeah. am having reflected on this more than once. in ye goode olde days (maybe twelve years past?) if a politician said something objective wrong before facts were known, there were consequences as all major news outlets would lambast the yutz for his/her stoopid. political foes would seize on such a moment and even political allies would seek to distance themselves from the wrongdoer. sadly, in the post algorithm age, getting out in front o' the narrative with the most extreme take possible is how you get views and go viral. the speaker reveals self as alternatively clownish (ignorant) or sinister (mendacious) but those is ephemeral flaws which will disappear when the next viral take grabs the national attention. worst is that kinda mentality has filtered down so that we see as increasing normal behavior amongst ordinary people ands not just politicians and media personalities. have linked previous. the two we share here is the offerings which show how much has changed as 'posed to remaining the same 'cause is specific dealing with politicians dealing with press. gotta politician saying he would never lie to the press 'cause doing so always turns out bad... and most o' the people, some o' the biggest brains in america in 1989, is nodding their heads in agreement? feels positively surreal, no? @Zoraptor actually, the last example we specific highlighted were your purposeful gaslighting about the time-frame for iran to build a nuclear weapon. recall when you selecta-quoted Gromnir, cnn and others as you fumbled repeatedly to make coherent sense outta an original bad take? what you are describing with your gaslighting on the cognitive test is not actual the same is it? is hardly a rush to frame a narrative before evidence is available as much as you wanna smash a round peg into a square hole. after all, 2017 were the cognitive test zor misremembers as trump distancing himself from not-yet-candidate biden... so, hardly the same. our pointing out that 2017 is a long time remote and we still don't have reliable reasons for the test being administered is so not same as a few o' the clowns making up facts to fit a preconceived narrative regarding contemporaneous events. heck, am the only guy in that linked exchange who shared the insights o' actual experts. but you keep pluggin' away little fella. eventual, if only by accident, you might trip over a valid argument instead o' repeated stepping on rakes. aside, who in their right mind boasts about remembering "person woman, man, camera, tv," ff to 11:45ish we still don't know why trump doctors keep giving trump the cognitive test no other President has received... and again, zor's biden excuse is pure fantasy as biden weren't running for office when trump were first tested, and it sure seems unlikely trump is measuring himself against biden in 2025. typical wacky stuff from triggered zor. thanks. edit: "Last line from my previous post still applies, I'm not going to bother arguing with you so no need for a thesis length word soup (yep, not just Trumpists used the technique) reply." am not thinking we need to point out how funny it were zor had to add this... after his triggering. another rake. *chuckle* HA! Good Fun!

Considering how poorly maintained some of the US government databases have been, I would not be surprised if all the ICE agent's personal data is already in sale in darker corners of the internet. And when public hatred towards official rise there is always those who see it as opportunity make fame and publish data from one of the many data breaches in past.

What does that matter these days

"The strikes came in response to a December attack on the residence of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which Russia blamed on Ukraine." I thought everyone agreed already this never actually happened.

Yeah, but just envisioning a mass doxxing. Would be amusing

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/01/09/russia-hit-ukraine-using-hypersonic-oreschnik-missile_6749241_4.html Poor headline aside.

The shooter himself is already thoroughly doxxed. lol. Yes, the last one you highlighted was someone- well, you- speculating without any hard evidence about Trump having dementia. Y'know, him taking a test was evidence he had it. And when was his first test again... like, 8 years ago, for a progressive disease... Funny how there was no need to avoid rush to judgement and wait for all the evidence to be in there, eh. Could it possibly be because that was your speculative conclusion. Last line from my previous post still applies, I'm not going to bother arguing with you so no need for a thesis length word soup (yep, not just Trumpists used the technique) reply.

I'm sure you can appreciate the sad irony for your eternal refrain of waiting for the full story to come out against the actual legal reality requiring that someone speak as soon as humanly possible if they want to safely tell lies or drive an agenda...

The ICE commando was filming, video there will probably lead to it being ruled as justified I suspect. These ICE guys aren't the brightest though, who walks in front of a car and they also seem bent out of shape due to the women jawing at them. Wonder if they get doxed if the Dems take 2028.

I made a few delicious Jell-o soups before because of too many bones, and I always thought they were great too. Wife occasionally likes (for me) to make aspics, so I guess it all kind of fits.

am more likely to make pierogi, but am finding we like most dumpling variations, regardless o' cultural origin. however, am posting 'cause o' your mention o' bone broth. made chicken soup. is one o' the few soups we don't need add broth to 'cause am making the broth by boiling the chicken, right? the thing is, we still have a bunch o' frozen turkey bones from our thanksgiving birds and so we added turkey bones (which we had roasted in an air fryer before freezing) when we were boiling our chicken in anticipation o' making soup. ... perhaps we added a few too many bones, 'cause the couple quarts o' soup we did not freeze and instead refrigerated has become a solid mass o' gelatin. we got a weird looking and extreme dense jell-o mold instead o' what you would expect from a soup. tastes delicious, so... whatever. HA! Good Fun!

I made, I don't know what to call it, but I had it once and attempted to recreate it. Boiled some potatoes with a few baby carrots and while that was on I caramelized some sweet onions and crisped up some prosciutto (I think the original probably had bacon but I didn't) in the microwave (pork chips, yum). Drained and roughly mashed my root vegetables with butter and milk, then stirred in the onions, crumbled crispy prosciutto, and a dollop of sauerkraut. My wife thought it was the best thing ever but my kids didn't really care for it.

I play Shadowrun solo. I use Gemini to do the GMing for me.

am thinking @Malcador and similar posters learned their lesson and am not seeing the need to embarrass them with their initial failure o' imagination (reasonable and understandable) followed by a curious obstinate reluctance to ignore just how different were the trump threat compared to previous examples o' bad Presidents from post ww2. converse, people who has invoked TDS as a response to those critical o' trump post january 6 deserve the same scorn and ridicule as the seth rich conspiracy nutters... and people who set off fireworks after midnight multiple days before or after holidays such as new years, chinse new years and the fourth of july. it were raining here on new years, so once the weather cleared a few folks in our neighborhood felt justified in firing off their unused arsenals a couple days later. not cool. sadly, suing kriti noem for her defamation is gonna be difficult... and perhaps surprising, her dhs post ain't what is insulating her from deserved legal punishment. maybe hurl has heard us caution people against speaking out before facts is clear. has been a few doozy examples where we highlighted that the rush to craft a narrative in the absence o' evidence has a tendency to mark the lightning quick pundits as clowns and fools... not that such happening over and over again has slowed those most egregious purveyors o' stoopid even a little. so it goes. unfortunate, the lack o' facts, or at least the possibility o' a counter-narrative before accepted facts is widely available, results in a legal defense to slander even if such behavior is moral repugnant. most o' us believe that government figures should have facts straight before they make accusations o' criminal behavior or moral turpitude, but that ain't a rule for kristi noem anymore than it is for the clowns posting on this board. when discussing matters o' public interest, or when speaking o' individuals who is loosely defined as public figures, you may only receive damages if you are able to prove that the speaker knew (or should have known... which gets a little fuzzy at the margins, eh?) they were lying when they made their outlandish utterance. krisit noem has shown time and again that she is not only extreme ignorant but that she will speak before it is even possible to know a truth. as far as we can tell, her definition o' domestic terrorist is less a legal identifier than it is a label o' political affiliation, and at the moment, there is literal millions o' fox news, newsmax and oan viewers who has only seen selected video o' the incident which could be interpreted in such a way that the victim o' the minneapolis shooting were trying to run down an ice agent. go after kristi noem for her abject stoopid is no easier than winning a court judgement against your fellow boardies who misspoke about police shootings in wisconsin or the unfortunate events at Uvalde. is functional your right as an american to blow your ignorant load. ... also, and am feeling gross even mentioning, but the victim o' the shooting is dead, so kristi is further insulated from legal pain. is much more difficult (although not impossible) for surviving family members to be successful plaintiffs in defamation cases. if the victim had survived, brought a defamation claim, and then died, her family might be able to continue her defamation claim, depending on the state. regardless, as a general rule, you cannot defame a dead person... except in texas. aside, even if kristi noem were held legal responsible, american tax payers would cover the damages. HA! Good Fun!

Referendum? You must mean Anschluss...

Sorry for not responding sooner. I played Zahua and Maneha ages ago. I have a one barbarian build saved for Maneha. Maneha Ring of Searing Flames + Heart of Fury Bittercut + Purgatory / Resolution OR Weapon + Badgradr's Barricade / Dragon's Maw Abilities at lvl 1.3,5,7,9,11,13,15: Talents at lvl 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16: Barbaric Yell Veteran's Recovery Savage Defiance Two Weapon Style OR Weapon & Shield Style One Stands Alone Weapon Focus Frenzy Accurate Carnage Threatening Presence Vulnerable Attack Heart of Fury Stalwart Defiance OR Bear's Fortitude Dragon Leap Greater Frenzy Thick-skinned OR Echoing Shout Superior Deflection The most fun ability is Heart of Fury, if I remember correctly. The reason I didn't post any monk or barbarian builds is that I haven't really play them that much and I don't feel confident enough to give advice on them. Monks and barbarians are strong actually but I prefer different classes. --- Zahua I can't find the build I used for Zahua. It was like 8 years ago . I remember wearing a plate armor and using fists the whole game. Abilities like Swift Strikes, Torment's Reach, Turning Wheel, Stunning Blow, Duality of Mortal Presence, The Dichotomous Soul. Monk is just strong. Talents - Weapon Focus Peasant, Two Weapon Style, Lightning Strikes., Apprentice Sneak Attack I think I would go for constitution, dexterity, perception.

Would be nice to have blue print for a bounce web elevator, as building them by hand is very finicky and time consuming to get each bounce secton lined up properly.

Wouldn't be the US without some propaganda movies about their operations, yes. Why Cubans, maybe they are better trained than his domestic troops, but he also had 2000 presidential guard troops as well.

Please confirm. HDR is amazing on XSX.

Yes it was common knowledge and reported on that 32 Cubans were killed, it hasn't featured much in South Africa coverage but its out there My interest is more what it means and why Maduro was using them. It was generally believed that Maduro always had the support of his own security forces. So why would you have foreign fighters as personal bodyguards if you trust your own military? I can just imagine the understandable outrage if our government was using foreign soldiers from any African country because all the questions would be " why dont you trust our own security forces" I believe the US had help from within the Venezuelan security forces, thats why the extraction was so easy. At least from an information gathering perspective We wont know until much later the full details And the movie about this is going to be very entertaining
