raumdeuter: Parents who sent their kids to elite schools will not have a problem with a hat that says Make America Great
Only those who have a problem with Making America great will be whining about it, Like you, whining and being bitter is a part of you so its just one of those days for you
And what elite US school have you been to that you are talking about what would be acceptable at "elite schools"? Oh yeah, you took a couple of courses at Harvard Extension School
Unlike you, I went to a couple. Elite schools are steeped in tradition. I'm sure West Point grads have rules about what they can wear at commencement, yet the commander in chief walks in with a campaign baseball cap to give the commencement speech at a military graduation for a military that is supposed to be non political.
Johnson5258: So, should they allow their nation be wiped out?
Wiped out by whom? You do understand outside of Native Americans(Indians), there are no native Americans. Everybody who came here was an immigrant. In fact that's what makes the US the US. It generally collects people who have the motivation to cross seas in search of more. So our Universities(like Harvard) attract the best of other countries and they stay here and add to the ingenuity of the US. The truth is our success is because of immigrants.
Imagine creating a soccer team pulled from some of the demonstrated best players of every other team. That's the US. Trump is saying, nah.. we don't need them in the US to study at Harvard, they can go other Universities. That's why China is saying they will take anyone who loses their visa at Harvard.
budaatum: It is a pity that you feel your dark skin makes you feel inferior to white skins.
You are obviously not ready to govern yourself, and that's why you let the sorts of dump govern you. Many of us would rather starve as free people than be fed with a chain around our necks.
That is the underlying message through all his posts. Self hate. He feels people who have black skin are inferior to people who have white skin so he feels he is inferior to white people.
The President of the US in his 2nd term doesn't know if everyone deserves due process. How can you uphold the constitution if you don't know what's in it?
[quote author=bemeruca post=135212519]I pushed it yesterday just so he can use the button to block himself and he did. Now I can see and respond to his post but he can't respond to mine 😂
Meanwhile, see this propaganda and divisive message
. I got got by the anti-spam bot and switched accounts to finish one of my posts and surprise, saw this post. 1.) You've been blocked for many days now. 2.) I didn't think that's how the block feature worked.
So, I went and tested it by blocking my ijebosc account. There is no way to see the post of the person who blocked you from that blocked account.
So questions. 1.) How did you know I blocked you if you could see my posts? 2.) Looking through your posts from this ijebosc account. it looks like you've been replying to my posts since I blocked you. So, the question is, how are you replying to my posts under the Bemeruca account? It seems you are logging in from another account and copying and pasting my posts so it can seem like you are replying from the Bemeruca account. Holy stalking insanity.
You so want to be me and around me, not only do you pretend to live in the US because I do, you literally login from various accounts to reply to my posts even though I blocked you to make it seem like I didn't block you. You thought I wouldn't find out since I can't see your posts. You're a lying staking troll.
raumdeuter: Like the airport bench is yours, the swimming pool is yours the table you climbed to see wizkid is yours. The guy who takes you for dinner are you sure he's yours or just taking advantage of your poverty and desperate situaton
Lol. Epic gaslighting. You are having this discussion with Bemeruca, who posts other people's things as his and other people's pics as his.
I can't with you two. You two have to be the dumbest of dumb.
bemeruca: When trump specifically target China in his first term, you guys were still crying. Keep your homo excuses to yourself you are not fooling anyone.
Kobojunkie: Storyland! 🙄🙄🙄 [/size] When I said post it on Reddit and mentioned we should seek more informed contributions, I meant people whose claims were backed by research-backed evidence, not more unverified opinions of claims such as the one we have here. 😩😩😩
Truthfully, I don't care what you expected. I posted to correct the misinformation that you posted here. I'm on firm scientific ground, you are not.
Don't be that person. The information is free. Google it. There are tons of peer reviewed studies on water diets/fasting and how much weight people lose. Here is one: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8951503/
If reading/understanding them is what is giving you a hard time that you need Reddit to filter them for you, there are also tons of articles discussing these studies and even more articles discussing why people initially can/do lose so much weight.
Here is a snippet of an article discussing one study: (And in this study there was an average weight loss amongst the participants of 5.7kg for a week or ~12.56 pounds in 7 days).
Scientists at Queen Mary University of London monitored 12 healthy volunteers taking part in a week-long water fast and tracked changes in the levels of 3,000 proteins in their blood.
They observed that one in three of the proteins measured changed “significantly” in all major organs, including changes in proteins that make up supportive structures in the brain.
Kobojunkie: Here's a challenge for you. Go post this supposed evidence of yours on Reddit and come back to tell us, or better yet share a link so we can follow the conversation. Here on Nairaland, you can easily fool people who are not aware but people on Reddit are certainly more informed and can better scrutinize your claim.
Don't need to. I don't speak unless I do my own research or have real world experience. This case I have both.
But nothing stops you. Why don't you post whatever you think on reddit and post the link so we can watch everyone tell you you are wrong.
You are stuck in what you think you know and in the presence of contrary info, that you can easily google, you still can't adjust. Not a healthy way to learn, grow or be.
Again, it is possible for him to have "lost" the weight he claims (I'm not claiming that I know he did). A part of what he "lost" is water weight, some part of which will come back.
zendi: True, Gaza is reduced to rubbles, but that that doesn't mean indiscriminate bombing. Civilians were alerted to evacuate before each bombing raid. That's not how to conduct genocide.
And the war, before October 7, Israel was living it's life, enjoying music festival, and generally practicing good neighbourliness and coexistence with the Gazans. Palestinians were crossing into Israel and back for work and trade unmolested.
But if you mean the historical Arab-Israel conflict, it started in 1948 by the Arabs' rejection of Israel's existence. Hamas and other jihadi groups still have it in their manifesto that Israel shall not exist.
Is that what you support, that a people should not exist?
They destroyed the who area, but it wasn't indiscriminate. That's they problem, it was indiscriminate purposeful bombing. They wanted to make it impossible for people in Gaza to return.
Israel was enjoying life while people in Gaza were living in an open air prison. Yes, some Palestinians believe Israel should not exist and some Israelis believe Palestinians should not exist.
The problem is Israel took land from people and expect those people who had their land taken to sit bank and wait for more of their land to be taken.
You read my posts here. The gaslighting doesn't work.
Kobojunkie: Please stop telling us these lies. Watch the video to understand how what you claim is scientifically impossible! Do the math for heaven's sake!
2. Again, unless you are literally cutting out the pounds of fat with a knife from your body, there is no way for you to rid yourself of 1lb of body weight per day. Watch the videos to learn this yourself.
And this is my bluetooth scale from 2020. I bulked up during summer and wanted to cut weight (usually do a fast at the end of the year).

Fam, you should educate yourself before calling other people liars. I am telling you this from experience. I've done it. Been finding ways to lose weight fast since I had to make weight before matches in high school for wrestling. Of course as I said, it's mainly water weight. But the ~1 pound a day I generally keep off.
You really don't know what you are talking about. Here is a google AI search:
zendi: Each time a leftist comments, he vindicates me that LEFTISM of the European and North American style does not require commonsense to practice.
If the Israeli Airforce bombed the little enclave of Gaza indiscriminately, would there be anything left of the two million population after only two days of bombing?
Where was the Israeli "genocide" before Hamas' murderous conduct on Oct 7 ?
Where is the Israeli "genocide" inside Israel itself where almost 30% of the Israeli population are Arab Muslims
Indeed, how many protests did this guy organize against the Oct 7 Hamas attack which started the Israeli war on Hamas, not on Palestinians as deranged leftists would say ?
Hamas bears the blame for every single death in the Gaza war. They caused the war and used Palestinians as battle shield.
The entire West is like the City of Troy and LEFTISM is the Trojan Horse by which the City (the West) is infiltrated by the enemy and conquered.
Posts like this reek of bias. You can literally look at the before and after pictures of Gaza to see indiscriminate bombing. And the War started just on Oct. 7th? Just that day huh?
This is just one of the TED Ed videos on YouTube that you can watch to help you get on the right track as far as losing weight is concerned.
I am not trying to enter into a useless debate with you here. I am simply pointing out that the science of what you claim does not add up as all. What you describe amounts to juju. Even people who lose weight every so often for professional reasons -- actors, models, celebrities --- do not report such successes in so short time as you claim and this is with all the professionals they have working with them and all.
It's possible. Once your body starts burning through glycogen it also releases the water stored in then. It's very easy to lose a lot of water weight initially. Some of it returns once you start eating Carbs again.
From experience, I did a 14 day water fast last year. The scale said I lost 23 pounds at the end of it. But after refeeding it was about 14 pounds (fat and some muscle). I usually expect to lose and keep off 1 pound a day when doing a full water fast. I also work out in the midst of it as well. When I can.
But I like to ask, isn't it ironic that someone you claim is not as smart as you owned you and got you to be everywhere trying to prove yourself?
If you are not pained and got broken you wouldn't try to prove yourself. Like I told you, war isn't about how much ammunition you have, it's about strategy. Learn so you can live.
I have already owned you. You did it to yourself, remember that.
"Not particularly smart, not particularly witty nor particularly funny... just 'meh'"
I guess Trump wants to put to rest all doubt that he wants to be an Autocratic Dictator. Given what happened on Jan. 6th, this could also be a call to incitement for all his nutty supporters.
Here is a piece from that Liberal Rag The Wall Street Journal.. /sarcasm This piece is telling of the anxiety and economic fear Conservatives feel given the Wall Street Journal wrote it. Seems like a purposeful choice to give Trump a message.
The Mood of the American Consumer is Souring Tariff threats, market turbulence causing jitters early in Trump’s second term
The Trump bump in consumer confidence is already over.
Tariff threats, stock market swings and rapidly reversing executive orders are causing Americans across the political spectrum to feel considerably more pessimistic about the economy than they did before President Trump took office. Consumer sentiment fell about 5% in the University of Michigan’s preliminary February survey of consumers to its lowest reading since July 2024. Expectations of inflation in the year ahead jumped from 3.3% in January to 4.3%, the second month in a row of large increases and highest reading since November 2023. “It’s very rare to see a full percentage point jump in inflation expectations,” said Joanne Hsu, who oversees the survey. Republicans have come off a postelection surge in confidence, she said, and Democrats and Independents also seem to believe that economic conditions have deteriorated since last month. ... “I don’t like the turbulence. I don’t like the chaos in the market,” said Paul Bisson, a 58-year-old, who writes proposals for a flight safety company and co-owns a dog daycare in San Antonio. Bisson voted for Trump, but feels “his policies have led to that chaos.
A40: You think China and Russia will give you free money for DEI and gender bending studies in Sri Lanka
Dey play. US might have their flaws but the sheer size of their economy means they will never not be relevant.
If you think the US are users wait let China hold your country for waist first.
From NATO, to USAID to the other free money they're giving everywhere they're the Universal sugar Daddy and all these countries you listed above simply can't cope
He's not wrong. It's not simply about Economics as you see it, it's about winning hearts and minds for those US products and beneficial US policies. And the money USAID spends has a multiplier effect and propaganda effect.
This is a pic I took years back. My cousin usually has an end of year party in his compound in the East. This is a pic of a child dancing to the DJ that was set up outside the compound. I thought the jacket was so interesting. Took a picture and talked to them about the jacket. Local children, never been to the US nor have their parents. Parents bought the jacket at the market. Let's leave outside the immediate good the money does. How much more likely do you think that child will grow up to like US products or be supportive of US policies or if he is a brilliant inventor want to immigrate to the US?
You're thinking of this stuff in a purely short term way. When we are losing long term benefits because of people being unable to see beyond this second.
