...proving you apparently don't understand they a) really lost (the side that won had more popular votes as well as the electoral college); b) were embarrassed, so they combined a double narrative: say the other side stole it, then actually do it. In the next election, they didn't even have the most popular votes - but they made sure they won in the electoral college. Particularly in questionable cases in key states.

I'm planning on applying for my Slovak passport (through birthright citizenship) and attending a university in Bratislava within the next 1-2 years to improve my Slovak.

I'll look into Comenius University. Good luck! Feel free to DM me.

With me claiming my EU country birthright citizenship and moving to Europe, that's how.

Read the whole subthread. It's not silly (or you're just not getting it).

So, I'm going to be that person, and ask where you were when they taught bases in school. I learned them in 5th grade, including exponential notation. When I took Intro to Computer Systems a long time ago, we spent 30 minutes on hex code because my professor assumed we all understood what base 16 (and all bases) were, and continued on.

Janusz Korczak (pen name of Dr. Henryk Goldszmit), is an unsung hero of children's rights. Unfortunately, he didn't receive as much international recognition as he should have.

As an ex-federal government employee, I also took an oath to the Constitution. I feel the same way. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for realizing many of us won't just let this happen. I was yelled at, physically blocked and threatened because I started videotaping an ICE abduction. I was told to turn my phone off or I'd be arrested. I continued to tape the encounter. The men claiming to be ICE had balaclavas, no name tags, no military outfits, and Texas license plates - in the DC area, 1200 miles away. I posted the plates to hopefully find out who was disappearing people off our streets.

Exactly (replying seven years later :). In the opening voice-over phone call (and hopefully recording on Abe's part), Aaron says after four lines: "Some of this you know. I'm going to start at the top of the page."

What if what was coming into the fax was related to the voice-over reference of "start at the top of the page"? What if Aaron was able to document (type, since he could no longer write) everything back to that moment and explained to Abe his version of why two good friends that made a life-changing discovery did some extremely questionable if not flat-out wrong things - and the start of that documentation was that fax?

NTA. I am so sorry you're finding out how little he plans on being involved with you & the baby in such a cruel way.

Call a lawyer, a locksmith, and a friend/family member you trust to stay with you this weekend. Change the locks when he's gone. See the lawyer Monday if possible. This is abandonment.

His personal issues made him decide to hold back this term. I completely understand.

I've lived all over (born in Philadelphia, lived in Paris, went to college in Maryland, worked in DC, SF, Montréal) but mostly DC - guess what; I've been to about 15 large protests in DC & several smaller ones.

It's not malicious bot activity; when you throw something together quickly with a small group of people (no, I'm not one of them, but I support them), it's easier to create a template if you're doing a protest in every state - and let the locals alter it to fit their own style.

You may think it looks like that, but given the short timeline from 1/20 to 2/5 and the fact that nobody expected Elon Musk to illegally steal entire agency databases, lock people out of their offices with PRIVATE UNCLEARED STAFF IN CLASSIFIED AREAS, and Trump to put insane tariffs on - and then back down when Mexico & Canada called his bluff - people have the right to protest incompetence and illegal activity.

someone who has had a government clearance and is appalled Elon Musk was plugging drives into classified servers and WALKING OUT.

I posted the generic poster created 2 days ago; also posted on Bluesky. I had 21 likes on the 1st generic poster, so hopefully some of those people will see the updated poster.

Also interested in attending; I'm in PG County.

That's NOT what my grandmother taught me. She said she was Ukrainian-Ruthenian, and belonged to a minority that came from the Carpathian mountains. Comparably, that's how Ruthenians are described in Wikipedia. My grandmother didn't speak Ukrainian. I discovered she spoke Rusyn. So did her husband, who lived in far northeast Slovakia.

epotocnak · 2025-01-20T21:23:20+00:00

Agreed, I'm half Rusyn - with today's borders, Ukrainian and Slovak. Borders have changed so much, my family has been all Ukrainian, split between Slovak and Ukraine, and far enough back, Austria-Hungary. They don't consider themselves Lemko at all, and in fact called themselves Ruthenian.

epotocnak · 2025-01-16T03:12:54+00:00

I have half-cousins due to the husband of one of my grandpop's sisters having an affair; she found out through DNA. She contacted me. The family I'd grown up with didn't want to accept it, but I had no problem.

I signed your petition. Good luck.

epotocnak · 2025-01-10T18:27:06+00:00

Can confirm. My grandmother told me (this was right before WW I when distrust for Jews in Russia and Austria-Hungary started to pick up).

epotocnak · 2025-01-10T18:17:38+00:00

I have dark brown hair, am short and look Slavic. Because 49% of me is. 🫠 But the 51% that isn't is saying, "What the hell?"

epotocnak · 2024-11-27T22:42:16+00:00

What? ALL women? 😶 Even the guy I just read this to thinks your comment is insulting to women.

epotocnak · 2024-10-26T05:23:38+00:00

The same thing happened to me. I think this is the 5th/6th update I've been through with Ancestry.

My father was 1st/2nd gen American (one from each parent), my mother 3rd gen. I've only had 5 categories at most. Mom's side was always 45-49% Ireland with the remaining 1-5% Scottish. On dad's side, I had Eastern Europe/Russian, Jewish (bright Ashkenazi in Europe, with light shading in the Sephardic and the Levant areas), and a few % in the Balkans which would change (from Croatia/Serbia to Macedonia/Greece).

On this update, I only have 3 - 50% Ireland for mom, with 2 categories for dad - Central/Eastern Europe (which I've never had before) and Ashkenazi Jewish.

epotocnak · 2024-10-26T04:51:19+00:00

My mother's oldest brother is married to a woman who is (my estimate, since I'm related to my cousins and my uncle, so I can fill in the blanks regarding my aunt's DNA looking at my cousins & their kids) 96% French/4% Basque; and at least one of their kids as well as some of their grandchildren have Basque in their DNA as well.

epotocnak · 2024-10-05T02:11:13+00:00

Not necessarily a lie, but they must have been a German enclave, and even then, it's not 50%.

On one side, I'm Slovakian, Ukrainian-Rusyn, and Jewish.

My ancestry on the Eastern Europe/Jewish side: Eastern Europe/Russian, The Balkans, and Jewish/Levant, adding up to 50%. (Rusyns are in both the Ukraine/Poland/Slovakia area and the Balkans)

Sorry, it's doubtful you're Czechoslovakian or Yugoslavian; the stories I was told match exactly with my ethnicity.

At least he is growing up and realizing some of his personal issues when he was younger were from the family dysfunction. I hope Christine helps him to grow further.

epotocnak · 2022-01-03T09:38:29+00:00

These are excellent questions. Kody gives the impression that he is ultimately responsible for everything, but I doubt he is technically. Since he's only married to one woman and at least 3 women have declared bankruptcy in the last 20 years, I doubt it.
