    Shifting the goalposts" is an idiom that means changing the rules or conditions of a situation, often in a way that is unfair or designed to make it more difficult for someone to achieve their goal. It implies that someone is deliberately making it harder for another person to succeed by moving the target or changing the requirements after the activity has already begun, according to several online dictionaries. Here’s a breakdown of what it means in different contexts: In general: It signifies a change in expectations or standards, often to the disadvantage of someone else. Imagine playing a game where the rules keep changing mid-game, making it harder to win. In an argument: It can refer to someone who keeps changing their stance or demands during a discussion to avoid conceding or to keep arguing. For example, if someone keeps adding new requirements after an agreement has been reached, they are shifting the goalposts. In the workplace: It can mean a manager changing performance expectations or job duties after the work has already started, without proper justification or compensation, says a business blog. In politics: It can describe a situation where a political party or leader changes their position or priorities to suit their current needs, potentially misleading the public or undermining previous promises, reports Forbes. In everyday language: It’s a negative term, implying unfairness and manipulation. People generally dislike when goalposts are moved because it creates a sense of instability and distrust.



  • Out of curiosity is your instance still federated with .ml or that other tankie haven I forget the name of. If so, yes you probably are seeing a lot of bots. It’s quite obvious when you look at downvote and upvoter brigades. Pretty unusual for five people to all vote within half a second of each other. Then to not see any other votes for a while.

    If you could be so kind as to list the number of times NATO has gone on an offensive war, I’ll be waiting.

    Russia has a history of invading its neighbors, with several notable examples including the Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, and Afghanistan in 1979. More recently, Russia invaded and occupied Crimea in 2014 and has been involved in conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine.

    I’m not a doctor but that’s what I’ve heard over the years as I grew up from my drs. I’m in pretty decent shape so it’s possible you are correct and I was missinformed and they were speaking in jest. But I can still run a mile or walk a few no problem. Im not super active anymore really outside the bedroom but I’m not the one who tries out… again I’m in my weight range for my height just type one diabetic my entire life.

    I think I’d know if I was about to die but thanks… Maintaining my weight is easy it’s putting weight on that’s a pain. I’ve tried the super size me diet and besides raising my cholesterol I was in impacted. Long of the short I have underlying conditions that make processing and eating food a pain.
