Title says it. I logged off two years ago and decided I will give it another try. Looking forward to fun discussions but want to avoid "certain" topics.

Welcome back.
Refresh my memory - you guys did some hog hunting in Oklahoma? Hogs have been hunted/trapped out of my immediate area, while it provided some entertainment, I'm not sure that I care they are gone. |

I've swung by a couple of times over Christmas but haven't asked. I have noticed a large growth in northern parts on DFW so curious how much of that is slowing down now. I'm hearing substantial increase in apartment construction in DFW so curious if that's hitting the rest of the state. |

No, they are still around, they just aren't coming to my place and digging up shit anymore. |

I will never get into any of the UA threads or discuss anything about the war because I know I'll have way too many "experts" lecture me and explain how they know all. |

Something about a massive influx of crazies coming to see some eclipse for a couple of minutes. Guess I'll miss that lifetime event. |

Don’t think of what you have missed. You should be summarizing what you’ve done over the 2 years that kept you from logging on.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bradleyswine: Don’t think of what you have missed. You should be summarizing what you’ve done over the 2 years that kept you from logging on. I was pissed and will NEVER give another dime to this site. Basically I learned that ARFCOMs didn't care about the war but were using my experiences as a way of entertainment and escape from their crappy lives. I would get into arguments with certain members how I didn't know anything because I didn't know the language (one idiot was Ukrainian yet had never visited the country). So I put out a plea in between my trips evacuating terrified locals to other countries to find out another Arfcom drama "queen" had suckered members to fund his trip to come play amateur journalist for a few days. Complete waste of funds which were needed to help all the IDPs (look it up). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bradleyswine: Don’t think of what you have missed. You should be summarizing what you’ve done over the 2 years that kept you from logging on. I tried to get members to unite to help in various forms and was accused by site staff/mods/admin of trying to break federal laws (ITAR) which was far from what I was doing so when I called them out I got constant warnings which I challenged which they didn't like. This was happening to me while I was broken down in a village near the Polish border, sleeping in a small freezing room above the garage (with no toilet), after previously being mistaken as a Russian saboteur (you don't want to be in that situation in that time). While our resident transexual was partying it up in an upscale hotel bar back in Lviv, pretending that he cared. So, I prefer not to get into details because I'll get pissed again, get reported, and get banned. I will say that I hope Americans never have to experience the horrors of living in a war zone (not volunteering to go kill others). |

I'm glad I missed that post on Ukraine. Getting more picky about what I read here and what interests me. Hopefully you were able to help some folks. No matter how you slice that over there, it's a shit sandwich.

Between the time you left and now I made myself an account on another website and I was given a month long block a week later for complaining in public about “administrative actions or discussions on the forums” of that site. Fortunately for me I had to wait 4 weeks and make 14 posts before I was allowed to discuss buying or list any items I was selling or trading. So I get to log on after my probation period is complete.
😁 ARFCom is way laid back by comparison. |

No matter how you slice that over there, it's a shit sandwich. Did what was needed. The sexpats left when things kicked off full speed and were replaced by the poor foreigners pretending to be heroes so they could get laid and then go home, boasting about their conquests. Basic facts: YES - there is corruption, YES - there are neo-nazi's in abundance, YES - psychopaths & sociopaths enjoy this place, especially the predators, YES - NGOs are massively corrupt filled with leftist globalists, YES - the UN have all their new shiny toys living it up in the nicest hotels, YES - many women fled abroad and are basically prostitutes, NO - many men don't want to die for their country (this is a pacifist culture, unlike the militant culture in Texas), YES - constant excuses without taking responsibility so victimhood is standard. This is a nation with a squatter mentality that only knows masters, wants everything for free, and refuse to be be responsible citizens (ie broken tax system). This place is being used to steal, launder, hide, and make money by internal & external forces. Once the industrial war complex has made enough funding death & destruction, it will turn to "rebuilding" which will see some of the worst corruption and abuses while relying on the United States to fund the majority. Just look the current support & conflict from neighboring EU countries. |

I hope to get settled in, make connections, and then buy a couple of guns and do some competition shotgunning. Unfortunately, civilians can only own handguns that fire rubber balls (9MM cartridge) but still have to get permission from LE. I tried to buy some Krinks off the police when they pulled them out of the warehouses a couple of years ago. Now they've put them back up in my area. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bradleyswine: Sounds like you are describing the liberals in Washington D.C. and Austin. I thought I got away from that mentally unstable mindset only to find out there's a large group of leeches in this world wandering around aimlessly with no purpose but to impose their broken mindset on others while thinking they're helping. There is an "American House" based in Kyiv & Lviv (not sure where else but I think is funded by certain NGOs and/or State Department) that uses the pretense of teaching English to brainwash locals into leftist viewpoints (DEI, ESG, LGBQTIA+). So, on one side, I'm dealing with fat ugly leftist women coming here to save those in need and loser wannabe alpha men pretending they're here to save the poor helpless Ukrainians. My area is traditionally conservative but these past 2 years has seen a influx of the globalist narrative. So being around all the "neos" isn't so bad since I'm white enough and not some alphabet person. People here do love their neck tattoos. |
