You noted that the administrative fine was $10. You wouldn't have even mentioned the fine if it had been $1000. You were simply attempting to show that it was a fairly small amount for non-Russkiis. No, you didn't need to use the word "minimize." Your comment was sufficient. 🎯 Any other gotcha question attempts? 🥰

The woman with Pride-decorated earrings spent five days in jail for wearing "illegal extremist propaganda." Your attempts to glorify Pooty-Poot Pootin and to minimize Russkii homophobia are not at all surprising. We expect that from you.

Are you not also going to look for a good teacher of Thai? What if he was the same person as your translator? You'd learn a lot more about him, about Thai, and about yourself.

And let's not forget that a plum can eventually become a dried-up old prune with the right care and attention!

Thanks for confirming that you're one of those poor stooges and dupes! 💩 🎯 💩

Yet there will always be stooges and dupes like EmmorrhoidK who will continue buying gold shoes, perfumes, colognes, cute red hats, and maybe even Trump University diplomas!

I don't think you googled it -- or even read all of the report yourself! 😂🎯😂 The KIIS survey included a very important condition (below in red) that you don't seem know about. Or maybe, as a russkiy clown 🤡 , you just didn't want to include this condition. You understand the significance of the English word concessions in this context, right? in February 2024, 72% of respondents agreed with the opinion that Ukraine should also look for a diplomatic way to end the war (however, it should be noted that the wording of the question was simply about such a process, and not about concessions). Note that the words "peace talks with Russia" do NOT exist. A "diplomatic way" could be just about anything and could involve third parties. MOREOVER, the very same Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) just published TODAY (21 February 2024) the following new report: 73% of Ukrainians claim that they are ready to endure the war as long as necessary (plus 3% are ready to endure for quite a long time - a year). At the same time, the situation has not changed since May 2022 - in May 2022, 71% were ready to endure as long as necessary, in December 2023 - 73%. So your propaganda theory that the Ukrainian people are begging for "peace talks with Russia" is simply fake. You got that song-and-dance from TASS and Pravda.ru and all the other pro-Pooty-Poot Pootin stooges.

Have you ever upgraded to Gold membership at €99/year? I wonder how many more deals I would receive in my inbox with Gold.

@Londoner didn't claim to be a doctor. He simply stated known medical facts.

Do you snap your photos with your phone or with a dedicated camera? They've given me a lot of reasons to see the temples in Cambodia, which I've only read about.

Here's how the 154 members of the "Presidential Greatness Project" ranked Drumpf according to their own political ideologies: Republican members ranked him at #41 Conservative members ranked him as #43 Independent members ranked him as #45 Moderate members ranked him as #45 Democratic members ranked him as #45 I figure that EmmerrhoidK is wearing so much of the new Drumpf Dreck Perfume (called "'Victory47") that he won't even notice these odious -- and odorous -- rankings of his Hitler Hero. 🐽🐽🐽

The reference: You said on Saturday that you were our EyeWitless News Reporter in Rio. There was actually an "Eyewitless News" feature that Johnny Carson used to perform on The Tonight Show in the 1980s. In it, he always played a reporter named "Morley Mudd."

A "sharp" businessman doesn't get convicted of massively fraudulent business practices. A "sharp" businessman's core businesses don't lose more than a billion dollars in a ten-year period (1985 to 1994). A "sharp" businessman doesn't fail in one of the most successful industries in the world: casino operations. His casinos had to declare bankruptcy four (4) times. A "sharp" businessman doesn't have to lie about his net worth. By the way, critical thinking skills (if he had any) would have prevented all of these failures.

He's correctly predicted the election outcomes for the past 40 years. He correctly predicted Drump's victory in 2016 and Drumpf's loss in 2020. Those are some pretty good reasons, yet you can only make ad hominem attackes on Alan Lichtman. That means you've got absolutely nothing. 0️⃣

And you, sir, are Morley Mudd! 🤓

Not a businessman. A con man. Judge Engoron ruled that Drump is "fraudulent" and borders on "pathological." Judge Engoron explicitly vindicated Drumpf's ex-attorney Michael Cohen, writing in his verdict that "Michael Cohen told the truth."

I hope you wrote a nice review of the hotel for your favorite travel sites. It looks beautiful inside and out. And it's practically on the doorstep for visiting the monument sites.

No recent reports? Was it the "real deal"? What is your little buddy Jeremy saying now? 🤐

Here are some other detection methods for us commoners. But if your spectacles are fogged up (in a sauna) or dirty (from 12th-century sandstone dust), you might want to fix that first. 🤓 https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/how-to-spot-a-fake-20-bill/103-391635173 Here are 5 ways to identify distinguishing features on the American $20, according to the U.S. Currency Education Program. 1. Check the bill for color-shifting ink. Tilt the note to see the numeral "20" in the lower right hand corner on the front of the note. The color of the numeral should switch from copper to green. 2. A real $20 bill will feature a portrait watermark. You can see it by holding the note to the light to see a faint image of Andrew Jackson in the blank space to the right of the center portrait. The watermark should be visible on both sides of the bill. 3. Check for a security thread. Hold the note to the light to see an embedded thread running vertically on the left of the portrait. The thread should be imprinted with the text "USA TWENTY" and a small flag in an alternating pattern. It's visible from both sides of the note. The thread glows green when illuminated by ultraviolet light. 4. If you move your fingers across the bill you should feel raised printing, giving real Federal Reserve bills a distinctive texture. 5. Look for microprinting. This could require magnification. Check for the small text "USA20" along the border of the first three letters of the blue "TWENTY USA" ribbon to the right of the portrait. Also look for the text "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 20 USA 20" in black in the border below the Treasurer’s signature.

For more than ten years, US $100 bills have indeed had hi-tech innovations to help prevent counterfeiting. "It's largely because of one particular security feature: the 3-D ribbon, a vertical blue bar made of thousands of tiny lenses. Images of bells shift to 100s when the bill is tilted." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-counterfeiter-wouldnt-waste-my-time-on-new-100-bill/ That's why shop owners, bankers, and other recipients will hold a bill up to the light and move it around. The image should change if it's a real bill. The $50, $20, $10, and $5 bills have a different type of hi-tech technology: an embedded security thread that glows blue when illuminated by UV light, with certain images that appear when held to the light.

Unicorn is not saying that at all! 😘

I'm even more amused that you somehow found the word "centuries" in Matt's comment. Perhaps we can find "traces" of something that's affecting you? 😽

Blood pressure that high is caused by your wacko communications on this site -- especially your advice to others about BP precautions and medications. 🤣😘🤣 They all come back to bite you! 🎯

https://www.advocate.com/russia-jailed-rainbow-frog-earrings Russian President Vladymir Putin’s crackdown on the LGBTQ+ community notched its first two victims last week. Last year the Russian Supreme Court declared the undefined “International LGBT Social Movement” an extremist organization allegedly operating to corrupt traditional social values within its borders. A series of raids and arrests followed the declaration. On Thursday, a Volzhan man identified as Artyom P. pleaded guilty to posting a picture of a Pride flag to Russian social media, according to the court’s press service. “At the court hearing, the man admitted guilt in committing an administrative offense, repented, explaining that he posted this symbol ‘out of stupidity,’” the statement read. “For committing this offense, by decision of the Volzhsky City Court, Artyom P. was assigned an administrative penalty in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of 1,000 rubles.” In a separate and more serious case in Nizhny Novgorod, a woman identified as Anastasia Ershov by the independent Russian news site Zona Media was sentenced to five days in custody for the crime of wearing earrings with Pride colors. The crime was revealed in a staged videotaped encounter with a man objecting to her earrings that took place on January 29. Her male friend was accosted for wearing a badge with the Ukraine’s national colors of blue and yellow. “Come on, take down the flag, b*tch,” the male attacker says in the video as he rips the Ukrainian flag badge from the male victim’s sweater. Ershov tried to defuse the situation, but the attacker threatened to report her to police. Hours later, the video was posted to Russia social media, including by the misogynistic and pro-war Russian blogger Vladislav Pozdnyakov. Pozdnyakov is a proponent of a fringe movement known as Male State, which glorifies white Russian men while denigrating women, non-white individuals, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Last year he wrote on his blog that “feminists and LGBT activists are bio-garbage” and “psychologically sick people who have no place among normal people,” according to RFE/RL. The court heard that crack Russian investigators determined each earring depicted a frog sitting under a mushroom. While the mushroom was found to be using approved colors of red and white, the frog was emblazoned with bars of the seven colors used in the Pride flag and was, therefore, illegal extremist propaganda. Last year, the Russian Supreme Court granted a request from the country’s Ministry of Justice to label the “international LGBT social movement” as an “extremist” element. In December the government responded by raiding a series of gay and LGBTQ+ bars.
