Putin should listen to this song as I feel like the russia ukraine war is about the same as our American civil war. just trying to keep em all under flag.
There is a whole album of similar songs, all talking about different aspects of the civil war. I was talking to a friend that does reenactments of battles, alot of stuff about that war that gets ignored. Can you imagine what it would be like to be fighting at Gettysburg? 90,000 horses in that 1 battle combined from both sides.
I had often wondered how battlefields were cleaned up of dead bodys, if you notice there is not really alot of graves for either side.Thats because famers would turn their hogs out at night to eat the bodys. if you were gut shot, you were left lay because the dr's really couldn't do much for you. the tent where arms and legs were cut off, you never see in photos the pile of parts laying outside a "window" of the tent. Those to ,were ate by wild boars or local pigs from a farm.
All that because Lincoln wanted us under 1 flag and used slavery as a excuse. and we are supposed to forget? yea right.
You don't think that the North was justified to force the South back into the union,
so why are you arguing that Russia is justified to force Ukraine back into the union?
The American Civil War was fundamentally a conflict over whether the Southern states could leave the United States and form their own country. The Union fought to preserve the United States as a single state, while the Confederacy fought for independence. The Southern states did attempt to find a political solution before the war: there were several proposed compromises, most notably the Crittenden Compromise of December 1860, which sought to resolve the dispute over slavery and prevent secession. These efforts failed, and Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. Slavery was central to the secession crisis, so the Civil War was not simply a war about “keeping everyone under one flag.” The key point is that the Confederate states were already legally part
of the United States and were attempting to secede from an existing political union.
Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991, and its independence was confirmed by referendum on December 1, 1991. Russia recognized Ukraine as a sovereign and independent state, and the two countries subsequently entered agreements explicitly recognizing each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the 1997 Russia–Ukraine Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership. This creates an important distinction from the American Civil War: Ukraine was not a state attempting to secede from a country that Russia still legally regarded as its own; Russia had formally recognized Ukraine as an independent country. Therefore, although both conflicts can broadly be described as involving a powerful state fighting over territorial unity, their legal, political, and historical circumstances are fundamentally different.
oh, here is the mess indirectly about cotton that helped the south decide to leave the union.
Protectionist Import Taxes: The federal government taxed manufactured goods coming from Europe to protect industrial interests in the North.Impact on Southern Planters: White Southern planters who sold raw cotton to Great Britain had to buy higher-priced Northern manufactured goods instead of cheaper British alternatives.Reduced Purchasing Power: Southerners argued that taxing British imports indirectly reduced Great Britain's ability or incentive to buy Southern cotton, lowering their overall export earnings.The Nullification Crisis: This ongoing friction over federal tariff policy led South Carolina to attempt to nullify the federal tariff laws, laying the groundwork for decades of sectional hostility prior to the Civil War
It turned to NaziAI, when Elon Musk was meddling too much, now it is FoxAI.
Ask yourself how Elon Musk got MAGA to like electric cars and space shit.
He bough Twitter as an investment to get MAGA to do his bidding,
by selling them the nonsense that they want to hear.
Nice that you shared yours.
However, no one should feel forced to express sadness over someone getting a horrible disease or dying, if they don't feel sadness, though.
I can promise you that I won't do that, when Trump dies.
I also don't support the idea "don't speak ill of the dead".
All I care about is honesty. If you have real arguments to express why we shouldn't be sad that the person died, then there is no reason to keep your mouth shut. The only people that should get some empathy is the people who cared about the deceased.
I want to make one thing clear: Just because Trump deserves criticism doesn't mean that Biden deserves the same criticism. Political arguments aren't a GAME, where every criticism of one side must have an equivalent criticism of the other. There is such a thing as reality. If the evidence shows that one politician did something worse, more often, or for fundamentally different reasons, then saying “Biden did something too” doesn't make the two things morally or factually equivalent.
I'm not saying president Biden was good, infallible, or above criticism. He wasn't. I'm saying that the existence of faults on both sides doesn't mean the faults are comparable. So let's look at the actual differences in conduct, priorities, and character.
1. Representing voters vs. personal loyalty
Biden: Represented his voters and party's political goals.
Trump: Has made loyalty to himself central to his political movement.
2. Keeping political promises
Biden: Generally tried to govern according to what he promised voters.
Trump: Often changes, abandons, or broadens promises when politically convenient.
3. Accepting democratic outcomes
Biden: Accepted electoral defeat and transferred power.
Trump: Refused to accept defeat and tried to overturn the 2020 result.
4. Respect for institutions
Biden: Generally worked within democratic institutions and accepted their constraints.
Trump: Treats institutions as legitimate when they serve him and enemies when they constrain him.
5. Personal power vs. public service
Biden: Primarily used political power to advance his party's agenda.
Trump: Has repeatedly put his own power, status, and political survival at the center.
6. Political opponents
Biden: Fiercely partisan, but generally treats opponents as legitimate political actors.
Trump: Frequently portrays opponents as enemies, traitors, criminals, or illegitimate.
7. Truthfulness
Biden: Has lied and exaggerated, but generally operates within an accepted factual reality.
Trump: Has made persistent, consequential false claims and repeatedly attacks inconvenient facts as conspiracies.
8. Vengeance
Biden: Does not make revenge against political opponents a central political theme.
Trump: Frequently promises or pursues retaliation against perceived enemies.
9. Corruption and self-enrichment
Biden: Has faced legitimate questions about himself and his family, but not a comparable pattern of openly intertwining the presidency with personal business interests.
Trump: Has repeatedly used the presidency and political power to advance his own financial interests, family interests, and personal wealth, creating an extraordinary level of corruption and conflicts of interest.
10. Treatment of vulnerable people
Biden: Generally frames government as having a responsibility to protect vulnerable people.
Trump: More often portrays vulnerable or unpopular groups as threats and makes harsh treatment politically valuable.
11. Human suffering
Biden: Has supported policies that caused serious suffering, but generally treats reducing suffering as a legitimate governmental goal.
Trump: More readily treats suffering inflicted on opponents or out-groups as evidence of strength or success.
12. Expertise and competence
Biden: Generally relies on institutions, career officials, and professional expertise.
Trump: More readily subordinates institutions and expertise to personal loyalty and political objectives.
13. Allies and international cooperation
Biden: Generally sees alliances and international institutions as valuable.
Trump: More often treats them as transactions based on immediate advantage and loyalty.
14. Political compromise
Biden: Comes from an older tradition of bargaining and compromise.
Trump: More often treats politics as winning, defeating, and humiliating opponents.
15. Replaceability
Biden: Ultimately accepted that his party and country could move on without him.
Trump: Has built a political movement unusually dependent on his personal leadership.
16. Policy vs. personal grievance
Biden: Politics is primarily about what government should accomplish.
Trump: Politics is unusually centered on his enemies, grievances, victories, and personal treatment.
17. Bad judgment vs. bad faith
Biden: Can be condemned for bad policies, hypocrisy, incompetence, or serious mistakes.
Trump: In addition, there is a strong case that personal power and self-interest are themselves major drivers of his politics.
18. Respect for Law and Order
Biden: Generally accepts that the law applies to him and that legal constraints are legitimate.
Trump: Repeatedly treats legal constraints as obstacles to overcome and has made attacking prosecutors, courts, and legal proceedings against him part of his political strategy.
19. Accountability
Biden: Generally accepts that mistakes and failures are part of governing.
Trump: Rarely accepts responsibility; failures are typically blamed on enemies, institutions, or conspiracies.
Warnings, fences, and etc, all to protect people from doing stupid shit but this guy, just graduated with a high level of expensive education, blew it all and is now DISOLVED and GONE from this earth. He should a just mowed yards for a living and let someone with more common sense get that expensive education. He didn't need it or deserve it if he couldn't read a simple sign..

It is worth a try if you have some ground coffee. I was reading some of the 1200 plus comments and a number of them said that “used” coffee grounds could be used after they were completely dry. I was actually trying to find anything that supported “why” an aluminum foil bowl was needed. I did read a post where someone said they used a plate but my best GUESS is like a candle, having more wax/wick below the flame will ensure a longer burning time.

I had considered getting 1 for the shop so I could ask it questions like ,"whats the spark plug gap for a certain engine or something but the more I learn, the less I trust

I guess admin got tired of having problems with verifying members and he eliminated the verification status symbol
--------------------------------------- added after 112 seconds
Also, I don't see a verification symbol on anyone's page anymore
I wonder if that's got anything to do with or conjunction with that warning symbol that admin introduced a few weeks back upon a member's recommendation. The other day, the same member that I'm referring to referred a SYC member for deletion because in her gallery of 22 pictures, Yandex was able to find 6 matches on one picture. Yandex showed that the picture was found on two amateur sites, two adultism.com sites (I consider adultism to be amateur) and there were two other sites. To me, the member's pictures looked consistent and I voted NO ABUSE. The member had a big meltdown.
This is the picture that I am referring to.

I posted a couple of pictures of me on two other sites about 12 years ago and never went back to those sites
Let's see if admin will respond to our concerns. 👍
--------------------------------------- added after 6 minutes
It seems like we getting new judges so our pictures can upload.
Do you recall the other day when notynyt referred DOUBLE2 for deletion and the Yandex link he used as proof had 6 links and 4 were amateur? Then he added "check properly" because of the NO ABUSE votes? BOOM! And now "regulations require that all uploads are viewed before publishing". Whew! notynyt is going to be busy!
--------------------------------------- added after 79 minutes
My sincere apology to notynyt for thinking that he had somehow spearheaded this change. notynyt, I am sorry that I spoke ill about you..
BOOM! And there you have it folks. So apparently admin has helluva lotta work ahead of him and we just need to sit tight and be patient.
~•~ I just saw the verification option. I didn't ask any question to the admin.
~•~ thank you Admin. 🙏
Make no mistake thinking you are anonymous wether t it be the dark or clear Web. Bitcoin is not anonymous either... Blockchain der. I personally have had malicious links from this site. But I run a VM. Virtual Machine so it don't matter and been playing with the internet since it's conception.
The one good side is less fakes, not foolproof but a step for the fake Hunters. And no CP.
Regardless of the outcome, Revenue is the only way this site will survive. Don't be a cheap, Buy a membership and points, whatever. Just support the site or it will be gone and all will have to go to NN 🤣. Jk we have been here since day dot and love it.
Changes are always going to happen, it's harder to swim against the tide.
Support = Revenue = Great site.
Have a great day
