Oh I know lol. Time flies these days!

My friend was telling me how his wife just healed from an ACL, said it took 9 months. But that she went too hard, and that was why it took so long. Also that she was in a huge ass brace, from ankle to hip, and couldn't hardly do anything, ugh.

Pretty much the pain is gone, it only comes back if I step wrong or something. My mobility is limited indeed, but Im WAY better than I was over a month ago. Heck I was in the woods up in a tree hunting this past weekend lol, got me one 

I feel like Im starting over once the surgery happens, and prolly be more fucked up than when the injury happened.

Quote from: JOE on December 04, 2025, 09:05:58 AMWalz wasn't a good choice Lokmar.

Seems Harris chose him because she wanted a Soulmate instead of a Running Mate.

That pick never made sense anyways

Walz is from a Blue State the Democrats were gonna win anyway. Plus he was too much like her. Mark Kelly would have been a better choice.

Sometimes women can be so irrational.

Sweetie you are so cute when you pretend like you know people in the public eye.

Ms. Harris does not confide in you. Your opinion as to why she chose Mr. Walz is no more credible than the National Enquirer proclaiming Elvis is still alive.

Jo Jo and I enjoyed Peter Hujar's Day. It was written and directed by Ira Sachs.

The planet needs a reset and the new year seems apropos.

There are plenty of credible sources that claim we will not be making it past 2030.

I agree.. and sure hope so.

Some believe that it is A.I that does us in. My belief is a bit more nuanced. A.I will be a driver in the overall equation but it is not the sole factor. Our own greed will have destroyed our own economies and ways of life long before A.I becomes self aware and puts us out of our misery the way any super intelligent being should. 

Quote from: Brent on December 04, 2025, 12:12:32 PMI can see why the mainline churches are dying.

Any organization that professes allegiance to the words contained within the bible which then advocates a position in direct opposition to what that very same bible mandates should be dissolved immediately.

It's about as stupid as hiring a basket ball coach to prep an NFL team during the off season with basketball drills and playbooks.

If the bible says God disapproves of homosexuality then the proper approach for any christian is to condemn the activity while maintaining a christian viewpoint to towards the offender. You can hate the sin but love the sinner and loving them doesn't mean you bend your own stance to allow for their activities in your fold.

Only stupid and narcissistic people demand otherwise

Canada needs a reset more than the States. We needed it yesterday.

Quote from: Shen Li on December 03, 2025, 11:51:25 PMI was like that on the old Asian forums and continued when I joined DV. That changed after it folded and VF picked up all it's refugees.

There was and still is a creepy little twerp of a man(Edweird) who lives on that forum 24/7/365. He gets his sick jollies contacting people's employers, giving horrible reviews of their businesses and destroying careers. It got so bad at VF with Eddie taking shit offline that a dozen or so of us left and founded the original version of this forum.

What we do here is for entertainment. None of us were going to risk our livelihoods over this goofiness. VF was a busy forum in 2012, but it never recovered from the owner's refusal to ban somebody who continuously broke basic forum etiquette.

My point here is that I've seen what the kind of threats Martini made can do. I take it pretty seriously.

The RCMP have visited Eddie the chug at his tiny one bedroom apartment more than once for his online activities.

The country needs a president who can act decisively in defense of national security, without media gatekeepers, rogue judges, or partisan lawmakers running armchair military campaigns from the sidelines. The "Seditious Six" tried to undermine the president's authority and cast doubt on lawful orders. The Washington Post attempted to turn that fiction into fact by quoting anonymous sources with unverifiable claims.

The central allegation is that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued an order to "kill everybody" on the vessel. The Post framed it this way: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. 'The order was to kill everybody.'"

The headline amplified the accusation: "Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all."

President Trump stated publicly that Hegseth told him no order was given to kill survivors. The fact that U.S. forces recovered two survivors from the submersible drug vessel undercuts the Post's narrative even more. Pete Hegseth is far more credible than Alex Horton and the newsroom that elevated this rumor.

It is time to put a moratorium on the online laws-of-armed-conflict "experts" who materialize whenever a strike hits a target they sympathize with. They insist that the presence of wounded combatants instantly transforms a hostile platform into a protected site and that destroying the vessel itself becomes a war crime. Even the New York Times — no friend of the administration — punctured that claim:

According to five U.S. officials ... Mr. Hegseth's directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile failed to accomplish all of those things ... and his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast.
