. Good luck!   
 

Glad to see the Covid thread gone.  
It was getting bogged down and long in the tooth.  
Ukraine?  Hummm, Madness, Pray. 

[SnarkyGoblin]

I disagree with wiping all the threads.  Now we can't hold people accountable for all the crazy they have said in the past.

I mean, what good is a grudge if you can’t hold onto it?

Pandemic is passé. Russia/Ukraine war is FRESH and FUN. All the kids these days want this kind of news.

Are the soldiers wearing masks while they fight?

I agree! I say we round up all the people with "crazy" opinions and put them in one centralized, enclosed location.

Just gotta say VPHarriis’s impassioned speech in Poland wouldn’t scare my grandkids.  She missed her “Churchill” moment. 
Her giggle after being asked about refugees… oh boy .

Back to Putin. 
interesting article filled with possibles. No facts but I think it strikes at the truth.  Do we really know anything about Putin?

He may be heavily medicated for symptom control on camera but little things do sneak out. Stumbling on words or nervous fingers, stiffness of left leg, cough.  Uses pen in hand.  New for him. 
 

Parkinson Dementia can be hard to diagnose at first but expert observers are thinking he has it. 
It falls under the umbrella of Dementia diseases. 
It also got out that he had abdominal surgery last yr for cancer and that he’s grooming a successor. 
He’s acting like he knows time is short.  
Let’s hope that’s true. 
We haven’t seen war and mass graves like this since WW2.  And he may- may use a small tactical nuke. Nothings sure. He’s not balanced.

My analogy would be that it was like suggesting Cam Newton could win the 2022 NFL MVP. At some point you just have to realize that moment is never going to happen.

I think this is possible, but I don't completely buy the "Putin is unhinged," line of thinking. We also have to remember much of the "news" we are getting about this conflict is heavily propagandized.

He is now the enemy and I hope he never wins another game in his career. Hopefully the Broncos go 0-17.

I was thisclose from deleting that post but figured I would leave it up as a good example of what fake news/propaganda looks like. That being said, "Guest FreeDonetsk" is on a short leash. Just like what ratbastard Putin keeps all his little pets on.

[BLI snowman]

I didn't know guests could even post here.

Russian hacker?

[Deweydog]

I tried the porn links he/she/them posted last night.

Got the job done, but eh…

Shouldn't even have a leash at all, imo. If you're gonna be a troll, at least make an account.

I completely missed out on what you guys are talking about. 

 

Should I post my nudes?

Sounds like Belarus may be entering the conflict officially. It’s been a launch pad for troops but now they may officially use their own troops. Could see them used to infiltrate western Ukraine and cut it off. 

[SnarkyGoblin]

I feel like Fred threw his arms up and said "f*ck it" when he changed the off-topic forum part of things.

It seems strange that he would allow Guests to read this toxic subsection of the forum, let alone post.

Yeah, you should have to have an account to post here so we don’t see sh*t like this above our posts. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

I think a guest is a banned member (if they have Guest in front of their name)

[Andie]

So,… can guests read and post in Off Topic?  
If so, I vote no.  As a guest they could could say anything off color and never be accountable.

So, the ISS.....Awkwaaaaard......

 

I would venture to guess that the astronauts themselves are maintaining a high degree of professionalism, but the whole support aspect of things seems to be a bit of a mess.....

I was actually able to use my admin rights and clean up the spam in this topic.

Based on seemingly popular demand guests can now only read this topic. They can no longer post here, just like on all the other subforums. No more "anonymous" Russian bots.

Need to make it so if a post is deleted, all quotes of it are deleted.

Anyone doing anything different in their lives with the current world issues? Driving less, buying less, or buying more, stocking up more on items that might become extremely expensive, prepping for cyber attacks, prepping for something more major?

And I bought a tractor! I’m finding that when the world goes nuts I buy things. My truck in April of 2020 and now the tractor…Or it could be the 0% financing luring me in as well…

I am still waiting on my Amazon delivery of potassium Iodide however since there seems to be a run on it. Yay 2022!!

Way I look at it is despite the unrest in Eastern Europe, we’re still FAR more likely to be up sh*t creek due to a massive Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. And we haven’t been, nor will we ever be nearly as prepared as we should be for that guy. Only win we can claim is that we still have left over candy in the pantry from Xmas.

Unless your pantry collapses rendering your candy unreachable…Then it’s game over.

We’re driving more thoughtful of getting more done when out. 
Just paid $5.00/gal tonight. Considering Texas supplies a 40% of US oil, that’s disheartening. It’s not like it being shipped into the US from the opposite side of the planet. It’s US oil. 
This whole thing stinks.

I thought of this exact thing when I read Moss' comment.  Between Rainier and the tectonic plates underneath us, the PNW is a ticking time bomb.  Prepping for those things isn't a bad idea.

Some big volcano in Nor Cal is supposed to blow its top one day and cause a catastrophe.
