Knowing the cynicism of Russian "authorities", they probably tied the citizenship to something essential, like getting pension payments or humanitarian assistance.

There are 18 weeks in the NFL season (17 games + bye). So if we just want to avoid the last week, we can still make the season 17 weeks long. But 16 is fine with me too.

If I needed a campaign manager I think I would still consider Royse777. Nothing in this debacle indicates that he wouldn't be capable of doing this kind of job.

If I wanted to join a campaign managed by Royse777 I'd probably want to make sure that the funds are in escrow.

Ukrainians are fighting for their country, which happens to have all sorts of people, welcome to the real world.

Knowing someone and being (or thinking that you are) good friends after some chats online is a thing these days. Feels weird to me too, but that's the world we live in. I don't think there is a contradiction in these claims, particularly considering that the "CEO" is likely a charismatic con artist, as good con artists tend to be.

You were born last year?

Can I get a $70000 loan to buy a used Lambo? Need to impress my neighbors who are laughing at me and calling me poor now that Bitcoin is dead.

Royse777, I know you're a good person but damn... you gotta do the right thing before red tags start piling on. Keep in mind that most people are very reluctant to neg-trust someone of your reputation, so if you start getting those tags you messed up hugely.

All right, show us some of your past "works".

10 seconds before that: "Ukrainian? Of course not."

BTW this buzzing contraption made it 100+ km into Russian-controlled territory. Some general is gonna lose his job when (if?) Putin finds out.

It's not about proving something, it's about your reputation or rather lack of it. And so far you're the one making unsubstantiated claims (thousands of dollars of business), whereas yahoo's feedback is fully substantiated with facts even if you disagree with his conclusion.


Scams or accusations are not moderated and moderators will not get involved in your scheme.

This is not a courtroom. And the trust rating is not slander (defamation), which would require the author to be deliberately lying with an intent to harm. That's not what happened here. The feedback is based on publicly available facts.

On the other hand, you keep insisting that you've "done thousands of dollars of business on this site" but you have nothing to show for it. What you have in your post history contradicts that - loan request, fiverr "business", some failed auction, "services" no one seemed to be interested in, $25 gift card, etc - nothing to indicate trustworthiness. And the "service" you got red trust for fits that pattern, not a pattern of "thousands of dollars of business".

Sounds like too much work to mimic someone who only ever writes "This user is currently ignored".

Strong ruble is bad for export, which is all that Russia really has (oil/gas). It would be good for import but most imports are under sanctions.

This is part of the reason why ruble is rising - very few businesses in Russia need foreign currency anymore. And there are restrictions on moving it.

In Soviet Union the ruble was "equal" to about 1.5 USD. We (well, except Branko and be.open and a few other purveyors of Kremlinism) know how that ended.

For example 4 teams, 6 teams (with wildcard round), or 8 teams in the playoffs. Is playoff round one game or two games (like we had last year).

It also depends on whether we have 10 teams or 12. With 12 teams I think I would prefer to have just one regular season game with each other (that's 11 weeks) and expanded playoffs (8 teams and/or 2 games per round) to fill it up to 16 or 17 weeks, instead of having some random games added to the regular season.

Edit: of course there is also an option to have no playoffs at all.

It would take some getting used to but considering where most of our food (particularly animal-based) originates, this seems quite benign. You're getting pretty much what the package says, not a mix of giblets and dead rats masquerading as "meat product".

I agree, they should give Königsberg back to Germany. This would solve the transit problem.

Every Friday is an Irish holiday.

What does it matter to you if someone has a holiday? If you don't care and don't celebrate it, just carry on as usual and ignore it.

I wouldn't neg someone for it, but someone holding absurdly irrational beliefs (like one race being inferior to another) for me would seem less trustworthy to do business with. It doesn't matter if they know someone's race/ethnicity/gender etc, their absurd beliefs are not based on facts or knowledge anyway.

Too often we see ethnic/racist/sexist/etc slurs used as "arguments" in disputes (for example see the recent drama with Koil) to think that prejudice here doesn't affect business.
