Smilie for Ukraine

Last edited Wed Feb 23, 2022, 04:46 PM - Edit history (1)

Where is the Smilie for the Ukraine Flag? Can I request one? I am so frustrated and angry right now. The world is tired of all this shit. Tired of it! I want to start building my home lab right now, but I don't have the right frame of mind. Instead, I am cleaning my house. I'm going to have the cleanest house in the country.

I'm tired of all the tribal warfare. I want to cook, garden, write, sing, learn new stuff, and advance my soul just a little before I die. Instead, I feel like I'm being beaten up by sad, little men who can't get it up so they have to take it out on everyone else.

WE. ARE. UKRAINE.

presume that solidarity with Ukraine automatically means I favor warfare? I want to be able to stand up for Ukraine in any way I can. We have an American flag and a gay pride flag. Why can't we have a Ukrainian flag? Is that against the TOS? Or, is it just against you?

Make your point. If you are against flags as symbols of countries, just say so. There are plenty of other people who feel that way. I am just not one.

People in the invaded parts of Ukraine who aren't killed or badly crippled in the invasion will have to work through whatever comes. Some in areas that get off lighter will find things fairly normal but every day wonder what might come next, very stressful. Preparation has become normal.

Cleaning, cooking, gardening sound healthy and positive and all allow listening to informative discussion of what's happening 5000 miles away if desired.

"...and all allow listening to informative discussion of what's happening 5000 miles away if desired."

All I asked for was a Ukrainian flag Smiley. Do you want me to enlist in the Ukrainian Army? I'm a fan of Patton. If they took me, I would insist on my own tank and directions to the border.

I don't think you are correct. "...will find things fairly normal..." I think the whole country is in trouble. WE are in trouble.

Who are you holding out as arbiter of "informative discussion?" Just so I know who to read and listen to on my quest for enlightenment.
