HURRICANES LOUNGE XLVIII

If you guys still have grandparents consider yourselves fortunate. My last living grandparent died yesterday afternoon. Even at 37 years old I still got birthday cards, money, Easter baskets etc from her.
Sorry to hear it. 2 of my grandparents died before I was born, 1 I only met when I was really little before he died, so I only ever really knew my maternal grandmother and she passed away in late 2002 (age 70). I hate that I often took for granted having her around (I was a teenager), because she was the only grandparent I had.

I’m so sorry.

I was very fortunate to have three of four into my 40s and my grandmother until I was 52. I cherish their memories with smiles and I know you will too once the immediate pain has subsided.

I was born in 1990. I lost my grandparents in 2003, 2008, 2014, and 2022. My biggest regret so far in this life is that I didn't learn more about their early years, and how they spent their lives. It's so easy to take them for granted, and then suddenly, they're gone.

May their memories be a blessing, my friend. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Yup. My Oma died at 96 a couple years ago. It was harder than losing my Dad who I wasn't really close to.
 
I never really knew my grandparents much. My dad's father was absentee for most of my dad's life, though I got to know him a bit in his later years. My dad's mother died when I was 4, my mother's father the same year, and while my mother's mother was alive into my high school years, she was extremely deep into Alzheimer's and I never actually knew her as the person she was.

My aunt, who was substantially older than my parents (my mother was a late in life surprise for her parents) and her husband, who was a fair bit older than her, really served that grandparent role in my life, and I'm very grateful that my aunt is still with us. And thankfully, still fully there.

Cherish life while you have the chance.
 
I think thanked you for that before. Sure as hell UA is covering our asses in Central Europe even if they never asked for it

Well orthodoxy, old turkic nomadic influence, Ottomans, Eastern Rome and communism would be the major influences.

They had swastikas before Nazis did.

1918 to be exact.

As far as this sentiment goes, there are far more egregious offenders

Croats, Hungarians, Romanians… hell Slovaks even (I don’t want to give them shit because Gabčík was badass among badasses and because of National uprising)

Fins didn’t fight anyome except Soviets.
And Continuation War followed an invasion of their country.

If we keep bringing that up we might as well remind folks that Poles were backstabbed by Soviet Union helping directly or indirectly Third Reich TWICE.
Thanks for this. I would add that even against soviet, nazis were pushing to attack st. Petersburg alongside, but we said, it's not our territory, not our war. We only fought against attacker and only to defend our own lands. We took the help from where we could get one. To do thay, our president Ryti made illegal agreement with Hitler, knowing it's illegal. Hitler could not understand that he was not dictator and legally his agreement was not binding later. Ryti even spent some time in prison with all parties knowing, he made a great fake.

In the end, we still had third war, one against Nazis in Lapland. So i guess we were the only country to fight against both big sides 😁 ...😖

There are some interesting battles where Poland fought hard.

 

Finally. For those who haven't been keeping track:

Republican judge, Jefferson Griffin, lost the North Carolina Supreme Court race back in November. It was a close race, but a machine recount and a partial hand recount confirmed that Democratic judge, Allison Riggs won by 734 votes.

Rather than accept the results, Griffin has spent the last 6 months fighting the decision. He wanted to potentially throw out 65,000 votes because he claims they were voted illegally. And the Republican-led Court of Appeals gave the Board of Education three days to find out if these 65,000 voters were eligible to vote. If these voters didn’t respond, their vote wouldn’t count. To no one's surprise, he targeted counties that favored Riggs and overseas voters as those that should have been thrown out.

It bounced around our court system for months, some favoring Griffin, others Riggs. Yesterday, a federal judge basically stated "Cut this shit out and concede" by saying that Griffin "can't change the rules of the game after it's been played."

Yeah what an asshole. I checked on a website to see if my vote had been shitcanned, and it indeed it had. And I voted for the guy. IDK why he thought my vote was sus, other than it was cast in Wake county which is now ridiculously Democrat so I guess they figured it was like 70% chance it'd have been for the other candidate. Oh well.

I don't think there's much of a question as to his motivation. The fact that Griffin wanted to throw out those types of votes in Democratic leaning counties but wanted to count the exact same type ballots in Republican leaning counties says it all. Does anyone really think it had anything to do with the votes being suspect?
