one with the code in it.

My picture here is from same site but I just used the direct URL

I don't use postimage after using it a few times and getting throttled. I have used imgur a few times (see my post downthread about needing to click twice for imgur). I thought I was clear that the OP did not use imgur but should use imgur for better results.

If you inspect the HTML code in the DU OP page it gives you the link to the throttle notice which is now occupying the page. Which means that the OP posted the actual link but it got throttled.

Inspecting the HTML shows a JPG link in the same format as your JPG link; the filename does not matter (remove spaces to make links active):

img src="ht tps://i.postimg.cc/TPsN3FSG/IMG-2722.jpg" border="0"
https:/ /i.postimg.cc/TPsN3FSG/IMG-2722.jpg
https:/ /i.postimg.cc/TPsN3FSG/x.jpg
https:/ /i.postimg.cc/TPsN3FSG/20250313-180119.jpg

The fact that the image name does not matter means that the postimage server is doing the throttling.

Your link:

img src="ht tps://i.postimg.cc/ZYfXyrN1/20250313-180119.jpg" border="0"
https:/ /i.postimg.cc/ZYfXyrN1/IMG-2722.jpg
https:/ /i.postimg.cc/ZYfXyrN1/x.jpg

I cleared my data cache (not cookies) and reloaded your link and got your actual image, so it hasn't been throttled yet or you paid for a postimage premium account. The OP here has gotten a very large number of views (99 recs, 47 replies), many more views than your post reply in the other thread you link, I am sure.

Imgur blocks my VPN and pretends they are too busy but immediately allows any image if I turn it off. Blocks it again when I turn it on.

a few details from a blueprint your country is founded on that's only 250 years old and part of it hangs in your work room.

If this is true, I have to give the Chinese a whole lot of credit, though it is pretty easy to push Trump's buttons.

So is this his idea of "ruling the world"?

( 'cept maybe McDonalds).

if anyone is calling it is aides.

He's been known to sit for hours alone at night calling people for hours, though I'm not sure world leaders would fit into the category.

have any chance of ever paying off (we don't, and we won't).

China doesn't fucking need us anymore. Hell, in many ways, they are the stronger economic power. Whereas our corporations are completely and utterly dependent on them and have been for decades. They are far, far too deeply invested in Chinese cheap labor to ever turn back. His fucking stupid chatGPT tariffs won't change that.

This is not a battle they can win, and it is WAY too late for this country to be picking this stupid fight in the first place. Only an administration full of people divorced from reality would even try...and unfortunately, that's exactly what we fucking have, thanks to this fucking clown.

Bringing back manufacturing would bring pollutants and debris

Sadly this isn't true. Google turns up nothing, and I recognize the 5nark_twain author as having done similar 'truth-free' memes before. It would be so nice if I didn't have to be so skeptical.

Hyperbolic and fact-free.

I guess this grumpy-old-man wouldn't mind so much if fact-free memes were posted to the Humor group, but in General?

Hmphh..... and get off my lawn!!

Lesson learned

CAN'T WE HAVE A BIT OF FUN?

Thanks for accusing me of being a liar.

Yes you did mark it as possibly not true. I've just lost my sense of humor about the orange felon and what he's doing to our country. Combined with so many people just believing what's posted on DU, I tend to overreact. Sorry!

Thanks folks! I need to read the whole page and check the forum.

All I see is a blue box with white print:

postimage
free image hosting

Upgrade to Premium!
Want to embed images in emails?

There's no alt text, a link or a brief description, right?

❤️

I am unable to see your image.

When that happens you won't even notice, which makes it insidious.

Clear your browser caches of any postimage data and postimage cookies. You can usually clear data first without disturbing cookies and that should be enough because you are not a premium member. Until you do so, the image is in your cache and the browser doesn't need to fetch it again, so you think what the fuck are all these people complaining about. Then if you clear your data cache then you'll understand.

With imgur, you have to prepare the URL, click on it to get to imgur, then click on the image when there. Use the URL for the actual image, not the image page, and it should work fine for everyone without any throttling or blockage.

(I didn't realize I wasn't signed in) and I was able to repost the image and it stayed up on DU after that.

He's like the old hillbilly that ran a bobcat into a hollow log. His partner asked him, "You want me to help you hold him?"

"No, I want you to help me turn him loose."

Im not seeing the original post of postimage.

Strange. I guess it was time to stop working. Just like my washing machine

Just a blue box with white letters saying "postimage / free image hosting / Upgrade to Prmium! / Want to embed images in emails?"

I have heard that he's been trying to get Xi on the phone. Good luck with that, numbskull!

Even if this is not true, this made me smile
