@suchmoon. Do not give him Goedert hehhehehe.
LOL, I think he's more worried about you than me.  Due to the weird 10-team scheduling I will not have to play against bbc.reporter again (not until playoffs if I get that far) but I will have to play against you, so not sure what the trading "strategy" should be  |

Right now in Russia the fine for not showing up after receiving the mobilization subpoena (or explicitly refusing the receipt thereof) is 3000 rubles, i.e. ~$50. Not being home when they deliver it has no consequences AFAIK. There were some reports of police checkpoints at subway stations etc but again, that's just for subpoenas - one can refuse to take it, or take it and still choose to not go. There is no criminal penalty, not for the subpoena part anyway.
However deserting after being mobilized (i.e. after you show up as requested by the subpoena and pass the medical exam etc) is a crime. It's also a crime to not show up for the annual draft. This is where it gets a bit murky, because draftees are not supposed to be sent to foreign wars but now that Russia proclaimed the annexations it's no longer "foreign" and never was officially a "war"... Draft starts today, remains to be seen how that goes.
I'd say the mobilized cannon fodder are more idiots than slaves. $50 seems like a good deal for staying alive. On the other hand, the promised salary of $3000 per month is A LOT of money in most places in Russia outside of Moscow / St. Pete. So... greedy idiots?

I have a couple of players that I can trade if anyone's interested: Dallas Goedert - top ~5 tight end I think Kirk Cousins - might be a decent backup QB for a bye week, did well for me I'm looking for WRs and/or RBs that are better than what I have... not a particularly high bar so hit me up. Not sure how trades work on Yahoo, I guess you can make an offer through there somehow. Raiders suck, that is all.
Didn't even get to the field goal range? |

Remember how Kremlin blamed the US for the Nordstream explosions? And the fifteen ruble brigade here proved it using tweets from some Polish dude and similar investigative tools. Well, no one remembers that, not even Kremlin itself, because apparently that never happened. They've always known that Brits did it and Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. I wonder if posts will get deleted in this thread or some mental gymnastics will be employed to switch the narrative. |

Republicans love to talk about Hillary so much, maybe they should nominate her. She would win in a landslide against Biden's corpse. |

I was not laughing at you. I was really very afraid that I might get my next loss from your team with Jmarr Chase and Josh Jacobs starting to create similar performances on week 7. If you also had Travis Kelce available, it would certainly be a win for you.
I might be in a similar situation on week 11. My starters will be on their bye weeks hehe.
I was finally able to move the guys to IR so I got your drop out Wan'Dale, giving me some false hope |

Looking ahead, if a situation like that ever comes up again, I'm going to give it a lot more consideration.
The problem, particularly in this case, is that when you agree to something like that and the info leaks out (which it was guaranteed to leak out because Royse777 was apparently telling about it to "many" users) you are in a position of either having to lie covering up the leak, or to break the promise of keeping the secret. And you can't really keep a secret on this forum if more than a few people know about it, what with the pervasive sockpuppeting and backstabbing culture. Having said that, I can imagine myself getting roped into a situation like this. It's easy for me to talk about this now from the comfort of my glass house. |

Essentially, US money is really only good in the US. Oh, sure, some countries play around with the USDollar. But most of it goes to buying something from the US.
US money is good everywhere. Nearly every country will take it either directly or exchange it to local currency. No other currency in the world comes close to the versatility of the US dollar. It doesn't matter where they buy something from... they all want US dollars as evidenced by the rising exchange rates. You should really travel abroad, maybe to Russia which you're so fond of. Even Russians love US dollar, especially the benjamin variety. |

A couple more telenovelas from the writers of amazing stories AKA Russian government: |

I like how you conveniently leave out that "their own" hydro and nuclear plants, are actually fully controlled and claimed by Russia to now be totally Russian and don't provide any electricity to Ukraine anymore. But your target audience don't really need to know these inconvenient facts at all right? Why even attempt to be objective when you can just keep on pushing your agenda.
These are Ukrainian power plants, so yes, "their own". However it still stinks of projection if you call them "russian". Russians are bombing Ukrainian electric supply infrastructure and are accusing Ukrainians of thinking about doing the same. See it's only a loaded question for people spreading propaganda, as by definition they can't even discuss negative outcomes or the precursors to them, where objective people can discuss anything. I for one can and did easily state that if Ukraine in total is still taking land in January, Russia might be loosing, or if Ukraine gets tanks and trillions in new commitment to counter RU mobilization (instead of just warm scarfs, gloves and more ammo) it's another indicator of escalation to which RU's only options are either a tactical nuclear response or a total collapse. See how easy it is when you're not just spreading propaganda?
Brush up on English grammar, comrade. Your question was asked and answered in present tense. If you want to engage in conjecture, I'm more that happy to let you talk about May 9 parades and other stuff that we can laugh about a few months later. Talking about tactical nukes and accusing me of propaganda LOL |

In any case, it appears I got lucky for week 8 hehehe.
Very funny ha ha. Well, I didn't have much hope for it anyway  I'm so thoroughly fucked this week that I might have to play without a WR. Two players with a "D", which I can't move to IR, so I can't shop for replacement. And three players on a bye, which I don't want to drop. |

Haha playing dumb yet again? Perhaps you should read up on the news first before commenting, i cannot find a mass media outlet that did NOT cover the Ghost of Kyiv. Playing selective ignorance doesn't suit you well at all. You refusal to admit to even knowing a known fakes are quiet telling, guess you don't remember the other "hero" either, the guy who surrendered and received the hero of Ukraine award "posthumously" while in captivity I didn't claim that the ghost story didn't exist. I just didn't see it until it was posted in this thread. Somehow Branko saw it and you obviously care so much that you googled a bunch of headlines. I think that's quite telling in regards how we use media, "western" or otherwise. It's also quite telling that the story was debunked by the Ukrainian government many moons ago and "western media" reported the debunking as your quotes indicate, but it continues being brought up as if the "fake" still exists and that the "western media" is lying. I'd take a news source that makes corrections over one that never does. Would be a great answer if my question was how likely it was for Ukraine to lose, only it wasn't and you're once again hilariously trying to weasel out of the question by forming another straw man, your attempts at deceptions entertain me "what are some major indicators for you that Ukraine might be loosing? [sic]" is a loaded question. I should know better than trying to answer such questions but still, saying that I don't see such "major indicators" or that losing is unlikely - valid answers no matter how much you dislike them. For Ukraine, there is no strategic, tactical, economical, logistical or even retaliatory value in blowing up Kakhovka dam. There are however excellent reasons to take it intact - including the 357 MW electric generation capability. In terms of getting "even", well, I think Ukraine is trying to avoid that type of answer (I think that their "uncles in the West" are doing a good work at keeping their minds cold).
Putin bombing the shit out of electric supply infrastructure all over Ukraine and also blaming Ukraine for allegedly planning to blow up their own hydro and nuclear plants, typical Russian propaganda projection. "See Ukrainians have these bad terrorist thoughts but we are the good guys totally non-genocidally-terroristically liberating Ukrainians from heat and electricity during the cold season". There are probably some strategists in Kremlin thinking that this will make Ukrainians line the streets waving Russian flags and welcoming the liberators, exactly like they did in Kyiv back in February. |

At the risk of making this a serious thread instead of the clown circus that BA likes, I wonder how would an strategy to take Zapo nuclear plant would look like. It would require an encirclement of quite a length and laser precision in all an any action to avoid and invitation to a rad-party with a +20. It also would need to include a quite difficult river crossing.
I wonder if some independent-thinking psycho could even decide to win the war by himself - one does not get to own a red button every day you know.
Putinist TG channels (used to bubble up to the MOD reports as well) often repeat fairy tales about dozens of Ukrainian boats attempting to cross the massive Dnipro reservoir the nuclear plant is next to. Of course the glorious Russian forces repeatedly destroy all those boats but the Ukrainians keep trying. There was also the infamous video of Russians firing at a bridge pylon and claiming it was... yep, a boat. So they seem to have a serious obsession about it. You know you have superiority complex, maybe even fascist inclination, when you only
value western media, one that brought us Ghost of Kiev and other such garbage
The only place I've heard of the Ghost of Kiev was this thread, and I think it was you who posted about it. So I think your understanding of "Western media" and how people use it is severely skewed. Don't blow up the dam? But Russia is adding reinforcements to Kherson down the dam and without the dam Crimea would loose its fresh water access. And you know how Russia likes to blow up their gas pipes and shell their nuclear plants, not sure if they can just hold back from blowing up the dam that helps them so much?
Compelling arguments but I still think that blowing up the dam is a bad idea. Losing when it might be losing, you could've just said that it's inconceivable to you.
Losing is unlikely with the way things stand now. "(In)conceivable" tends to be a weasel word in this context but I can understand why you would use it. |

Competition is great but in this case you really need to watch out for how some of these services can be so cheap or even free. Just like with free e-mail and free cat videos, most likely you're being sold in exchange for the "free" VPN. And of course any "privacy" from a massive corporation like Apple is bullshit. It works only until you actually need it. They'll sell you out as soon as it becomes profitable for them to do so. If Firefox had TOR built into it, that would be pretty sweet.
There is Firefox with Tor built in. It's called Tor Browser. |

The point is to underline the absurdity of the claims, not sure where you're seeing ura-patriotism!?!
Absurdity of which claims? You're the one throwing a bunch of random stuff out here, mostly Kremlin propaganda in the form of loaded or rhetorical questions. Granted that's quite absurd so mission accomplished I guess. What is pretty certain that if damn is blown while over 50% of Kherson is under RU control, then Orcs just like to shoot at themselves, if it's blown when UA takes over 50% then RU are terrorists.
Well, that's an easy one to avoid. Don't blow up the dam. I'm just glad that Russians are at least evacuating civilians! Ukraine's window of opportunity is shrinking, winter is coming it'll take away mobility and cover which Ukraine managed to greatly use to its advantage. Ukraine needs to throw in all it got before that, is it enough to take Kherson?
I'm sure your strategic advice is very valuable to the Ukrainian armed forces but they'll probably ignore it and continue doing what they've been successfully doing for the last few months. Here's an illustration in case you forgot.  (maps from https://liveuamap.com) i have no idea (i didn't even think UA could take all that land by Kharkiv), do you consider it or Bakhmut a decisive battle?
Bakhmut is a decisive battle for Prigozhin. He desperately needs to show a "victory" to boost his image and get more financing for his criminal army. does it really matter outside of posturing and these forum bickering? What interests me more are concrete indicators of the conflict turning one way or the other. Let me ask you this, what are some major indicators for you that Ukraine might be loosing?
If it starts losing that would be a major indicator that it might be losing. So far I'd say that all this desperate BS about dirty bombs, and the new cannon fodder returning home boxed-up within a couple of weeks after being mobilized, and the fairy tales about taking Kyiv again - everything points to Russia nowhere near being able to reverse the momentum. |
