The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is.. kinda fucky.

I haven't used it in a couple years now, so maybe they've gotten better. shrug Also never tried it on my phone, I use duckduckgo's browser.

Two reasons.

  1. Because you don't get what you want out of life by running from pain, you just have to embrace the suck.
  2. Because I've had chronic back pain for the past ~20 years and there's nothing my doctors can do about it, my only alternative to pushing through the pain is to make myself unable to feel pain anymore, and despite the pain I still quite enjoy life.

I'm new myself, thanks for the recommendations. While you're at it, do you happen to know of any good political/religion debate .. subs? what are they called here? I'm going to call them subs for now. Maybe some Anarchist and non-tankie Communist subs?

I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on 'my other accounts' -- I've had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I've been there, I don't even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it's overturned I'm not sure I'm going back. They've gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it 'inciting violence.' Fuck 'em.

For me it's MorningLightMountain and the Primes in general in Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth trilogy. It was just a really cool and unique idea for an alien species, and Hamilton succeeded in making it feel truly alien, explaining its motivations, etc. It was just a really well-realized aspect of the world.

lol, I got temp-banned for 'encouraging violence' for saying Luigi didn't deserve to go to jail. I appealed it, they revoked the temp ban, but several hours prior to that I got perma-banned for violating the rules on multiple accounts. Motherfucker I've had ONE account for 14 years, I don't even make throwaways like most people, so there's no way you caught me on multiple accounts, you're just making shit up at this point.

I mean, if you believe Camus, yes?

The main issue I have with Firefox is that some pdfs have this side-by-side layout (especially rpg pdfs) that Firefox respects and I keep having to turn it off every time I load a new one. Chrome doesn't respect it and shows it a page at a time like I want. My eyes don't work too good so side by side the text is just too small.

Wow, I haven't heard anything from those guys in a hot minute.
