D.Draker Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 12 hours ago, Vistapocalypse said: I think D.Draker is largely correct about the United States, and NotHereToPlayGames exaggerates America’s diversity. I have lived in suburbs my entire life, and the biggest city I ever lived near was Houston. The car is absolutely essential to our suburban way of life, and also for those living in the countryside. Without a car, you might as well be in a desert. I suppose a car might be more trouble than it’s worth in Manhattan, since there’s no place to park anyway. I was fortunate enough to visit Europe one summer when I was much younger. The only subway I ever rode on was the Paris Metro. I traveled by train from city to city. (I took a few train trips in the US when I was younger, but visitors from Europe had better not plan on traveling by train here.) I should’ve sought out public transportation in Rome instead of walking 10 km from the Forum to the Vatican, but I was young enough to survive that mistake. (I even missed the Sistine Chapel because the sun was going down when I emerged from St. Peter’s.) The European country that was most similar to the US was certainly (western) Germany, with its multi-lane autobahns. But even in Germany, you could travel by train and use public transportation to get around in the cities. It’s actually ridiculous that D.Draker has pegged me as an “enemy of NATO,” but I would rather block his blind hostility than attempt to have a conversation about it. Technically speaking, legacy versions of Kaspersky are an option for XP and Vista, and even seem to be compatible with the extended kernel, which appears to break various other legacy AV products. As I have mentioned many times before, I never used Kaspersky myself, and no longer use Windows Vista for that matter. If MSFN exists for loyal NATO members only, then perhaps forum rules should prohibit any discussion of Kaspersky? In any case, I do not accept the condemnation of D.Draker! But if I ever insulted his English (and it seems like I probably did), then I apologize for that, because it is quite good actually. Yes, Mental Health Awareness Month is ending today. Hopefully this 14-page thread will also come to an end. I already wrote, you tend to put lots of different/unrelated stuff in one post, and it's going downhill, when you start with good, maybe even interesting stuff and then ... caboom ... insert your favourite part with the KGB lieutenant software, literally in each and every post. I mean, I kinda want to like you ... alas.... Nevertheless, I still upvote your post, since it's a big huge progress, and thank you for the compliments! And sorry, if I was too harsh on you at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A group of XP users ran out of shampoo, fortunately they had a museum with a fully functional guillotina there, also compatible with their heads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I bet the forum would allow you to change sex if you are so inclined. It would be a politically driven decission, like you wrote earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is absolutely essential to our suburban way of life, I went to Texas one time, spent a month in Chase which is outside of Houston. Looking at that town on a map is one thing but in person it is completely different. It had the same amount of stuff as other towns as you'd expect but everything is just spread out. Not having a car meant I had to walk everywhere. Not a great experience really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Draker Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 According to the recent studies, from "The Jewish News of Northern California".

I don't think so, there was just NotHereToPlayGames and and six cars in my mind. Didn't think of any potential other people in his household. Marriage - yeah, I'm a loner and it won't happen and even if I wasn't, doesn't seem like something I'd want to bother with. Being like that for most of my existence, I imagine it would be hard to adapt to different patterns, playing single-player mode all the time. People are crazy, should be healthier to be alone anyway, LOL. Ironically, I work a job that involves dealing with them, remotely at least, but it's still totally against my character. The things we do for the money... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCyborg Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) No, I certainly did not write it that many times! What happened was that I clicked the submit button multiple times because I didn't get any feedback the first time, so ended up doing it again in another tab, where it did respond as it should. That's the issue with software in general, in development for decades and never works right. I also still get the notification popup at times after logging in about the PM I read and replied to years ago.

Upgrade the browser, and the issue (at least with postings) will be gone. In my case, the minimum chrome without this issue is chrome 108. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I got more than six air conditioners (8), in each and every room and even in my kitchen! Does that count? As for the vehicles, now I got only one (barely use it), two if you count my ancient German BMW motorcycle, that I'm in the process of purchasing back from the dude I sold it to by mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I like and agree, I prefer when I'm not overcrowded, and always choose my partners in everything, be it one-night-stands or friendship. Unfortunately, it was not always the case in my military days, until I got an officer rank, at least. So I kinda learned how to find something in common to talk about, until the mission is over, maybe try it? The most important part, don't waste your energy on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistapocalypse Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 It’s not really surprising that this topic didn’t fade away after May 31.
