    user states that in In Sweden, when train engineers spot a person on the tracks they are taught to hit the breaks, close their eyes and scream to get as little input as possible to be able to haunt them later.

    • This is true for training in the UK too. You're told to crouch, put your fingers in your ears and scream as loud as possible.de4k

    This 17th title is the @Lakers 12th since the team moved to Los Angeles in 1960, and 11th since 1980, which matches the number of titles for the rest of the Western Conference combined since that time.

    Before (some Balkans all over the place):

    Between (somebody edited the - clearly wrong - map):

    "06:08, 1 May 2021 Thumbnail for version as of 06:08, 1 May 2021 596 × 383 (112 KB) Bukarester (talk | contribs)

    Reverted to a version which does not offend most of the Romanian population. Only the historical region of North Dobruja is considered to be Balkan in Romania"

    After (no more Balkans all over the place):

    p.s. next time at least ask, we're here to learn, not start stupid flame wars

    • - posts an article to defend his position.
      - gets burned with the same article.
      - goes xenophobic
      - gets a warning
      - still doesn't gives up, nor apologizes

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      grafician
    • But yeah I do apologise for defending myself from trolls like sted, monospcaed, Guyfawks and othersgrafician
    • But yeah I do apologise for trying to set the facts straight because some idiots are ignorant around heregrafician
    • But yeah I do apologise for wasting my fucking time talking with morons that have nothing better to do than to smear people and act like lunaticsgrafician
    • They are real people, and to highlight something important, they know how to express themself without getting banned.sted
    • the apology would be for something else still, but for some reason you are incapable of self reflectionmonospaced
    • instead, you just insult and insult and denymonospaced
    • I'm not trying to fight or argue here, but instead just share a point of view from mostly the outside. Peace.monospaced

    More about sted's people - the lovely Hungarians:

    "What most Hungarians think and what they say are different things. Most Hungarians like to lie for fun, especially to badmouth other peoples. This habit goes back centuries and is not entirely sane.

    Some of the great Hungarian lies include:

    - baloney theories about the origins of other peoples
    - the fake brand HUNgary
    - fake pre-WWI censuses to forcibly assimilate Romanians, Slavs, Germans
    - denial of Hungary’s role in the Holocaust, to teach kids to do it again

    Even their medieval chronicles are by no means propaganda-free. Since they reached the Carpathian basin, they have been promoting a fictitious Hunnic ancestry as part of a drive to “recover” territories once held by the Huns, including present-day Romania. They claim they found this beautiful country nearly empty, so they were stopped by Mickey Mouse from retaking the entire past Hunnic territory.

    There is no point to argue logically with such people. Logical contradictions do not bother them. To this day, they are one day Europeans, next day Huns, Turks, and they even invented civilization when they were Sumerians"

    Also recently:

    Not to mention they really like voting for authoritarian fascists like Orban

    No wonder pooor poor sted fled this shitty country

    Or did he? Is he really in Australia? Cuz it seems Hungarians are just liars so you never know with these shitty people

    • So as the quote says no point in arguing with shitty Hungarians like sted

      Bye
      grafician
    • Romania is still in the Balkans.sted
    • *Mickey Mouse is mentioned in a quote about a central European countries medieval chronicles.sted
    • How does it feels in the Balkans to get triggered at 3am on a Monday?sted

    • Link? lol
      That sounds crazy even by Romanian standards mate
      grafician
    • But I love how you guys use whataboutism to throw bullshit when you're too ignorant to actually prove it with facts...grafician
    • Guess this is the QBN way lately

      You live in an "alternative facts" world down there in UK or the US
      grafician
    • nope it weirdly came back into my memory reading your anti Sted rant. Watched a doc about Romanian mysticism a while ago, it's still rife in major cities.fadein11

    • I actually loved the concept of taxing spells, there has to be a film or novel in that, perhaps a children's book.fadein11
    • 2010?! 2011?! Mate come on, you're stretching

      I don't deny the articles, bullshit journalism is everywhere even in NYTimes that's what sells

    • Romani people are everywhere, they're a nomadic people

      Confusing them with actual Romanians is a common ignorant mistake sorry
      grafician
    • Anyway back to my original point, many of your politicians wear purple to ward off curses and they tax spells to raise revenuefadein11
    • Ofc not, your generalisation is silly

      The articles you've linked are not more serious than any crazy article about Trump, Bannon or other muppets like that
      grafician
    • I'm done here, believe what you want, but you guys are nuts for believing all this nonsense

    • Hungarian isn’t a race, moronGnash
    • Nice mic drop with the multi-links fade-out. Oops. DerpGnash
    • My Romanian friend says that a small part of Romania (not all of it) IS part of the Balkans and that's common knowledge there.monospaced
    • Most people consider the Balkans to be a large region, but some don't. I don't see why it would be a big issue though. It's just a label :)monospaced
    • xenophobic is the word we're looking for?sted
    • Well what if Mexico started claiming Texas and California are actual Mexican states again? Would you agree?grafician
    • Balkan = Mountain range in Bulgaria
      Balkans = Large geographic area southeast Europe with a unique culture.
      sted
    • The only territory somehow acknowledged by Romanians to have some historic ties to Bulgaria (as the Balkan Mountains are in Bulgaria) is north of Dobrogeagrafician
    • It's really different from the Middle East or West Europe.sted
    • While Hungarians still claim Transylvania is theirs because fuck history if they say something it must be truegrafician
    • This isn't like Mexico claiming back US territory. It's just a reference to a region, not a dispute over national borders :)monospaced
    • We have "New Mexico" in the US, and the entire Baja California peninsula and Gulf of California is in Mexico :) Just labels, not really an issue.monospaced
    • People in these CE areas still want their preWW territories (lots of current conflicts based on these events).sted
    • I used to say that I want the Roman empire borders back. Mentioning that you're from the Balkan is an insult for some. Whatever the reason for that is.sted
    • Its worth mentioning that one side of my family left Transylvania, and not because of fun of a quest in Budapest.sted
    • so are you Jewish?grafician
    • I thought Mexico sold California to the US? Can't claim what you sold.pango
    • Gnash. I was using the word loosely you dimwitted. Also that's just how it's commonly used anyway.pango
    • Ya how is being called Balkan an insult? Got graf so worked up.
      Genuine question.

    • Words. Just use any one, redefine as neededGnash
