  1. Posts breaking forum rules removed. Rule 39a. Posts should be original, on-topic, and written in your own voice. This is a discussion forum—not an AI content dump—so keep contributions natural and personal. AI tools can be used for reference or to support facts, but your writing should reflect your own understanding and perspective. This is especially important for opening posts, which should clearly come from a human point of view and invite genuine discussion. Low-Value Posts Reminder. Posts that add no written contribution harm the forum and reduce its value for readers and search engines. This includes: 2–3 word replies Emoji-only posts Memes or GIFs with no explanation or context. Screenshots with no supporting text Embedded social media posts with no comment or opinion Youtube videos with no explanation or comment If your post does not explain, add context, or express a view in your own words, it has no value here. What happens next Any such content will be removed without notice Repeat posting of this type may lead to further moderation action If you want to post a meme, image, or screenshot, add a short explanation or your view. .

  10. A Colombian Air Force plane has crashed in the south of the country, leaving at least eight people dead. Air force commander Carlos Fernando Silva Rueda said 114 army personnel were on board, as well as 11 crew. He said 48 people were pulled from the plane wreckage with injuries and were in hospital. Regional governor Jhon Gabriel Molina later said eight people were confirmed dead and more than 80 injured in Monday's incident. The plane, a US-made C-130 Hercules used for transporting troops, came down near the town of Puerto Leguízamo, in Putumayo province. Emergency workers sent to the area were seen searching through the wreckage for survivors. The cause of the crash is being investigated. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8dlmrjn1l2o
  11. Troll post trying to bypass forum filters removed @Slowhand225 Certain terms and acronyms are being used in a manner that is both antagonising and inflammatory. It is important to recognise that the issue lies not in the terms and acronyms themselves or the validity of what they stand for, but in the derogatory context in which they are most commonly employed. For instance, the acronym "TDS," standing for "Trump Derangement Syndrome," is not a recognised medical condition but rather an urban phrase. It is frequently used as a means to belittle or mock individuals with differing political views. Such usage is inherently derogatory and contributes to a toxic conversational environment.
