Well, lucky you it takes two full hours for… reasons. As my reasons are usually way shorter!
Now, now, it's not a competition. And if it were, it would be judged according to my reasons, so don't forget to take those into consideration.  |

I've seen that message too in the past few weeks, and I still get that message when I use Shift-reload (a hard reload) in Firefox. When I do the same in Chromium, everything works fine.
My guess is that a hard reload doesn't cache anything, and somehow Cloudflare doesn't like that. Could it be you've disabled all browser cache?
I'm using Firefox too, but hard refresh makes no difference to me, though you may be on to something since about:cache reveals I'm apparently not caching anything from the forum. I definitely used to since I remember avatar updates not showing up immediately except with a hard refresh or otherwise clearing the cache. Other sites are caching normally, and I coincidentally haven't (recently) had any weird Cloudflare issues with other sites, only this forum. There's definitely something going on here. EDIT: Randomly poking at cache settings seems to have fixed the caching issues, as well as causing the error to be reliably triggered by hard refresh. But only on this site, though: other Cloudflare sites don't take issue with hard refreshing, or even with completely disabling caching. It seems Cloudflare expecting a functional browser cache, but only on this forum, combined with some kind of weird browser cache corruption on my end, was the source of the trouble. The weirdest part (one of the weirdest parts, anyway) is that I cleared my cache several times during all of this, which didn't fix it, and I still don't know what did fix it.  |

Don't worry, I am fine. Cloudflare was just being Cloudflare again.  |

 My only guess is the cloudflare debacle prevented our supreme leader to post.
Or is it Cloudflare being unfriendly for Vile Vixens?
Correct-o-mondo. Neither I nor theymos know why I was stuck seeing "Sorry, you have been blocked" long after it was fixed for everyone else, nor why it seems to be fixed now. It also didn't help that I shun (anti)social media and thus produced little evidence of my continued existence outside of the forum itself.  If this sort of thing happens again, note that all my payments are (and always have been) completely under manual control, so if you're receiving payments from me you can safely assume that nothing untoward has happened to me (at least, no more untoward than usual ). |

I asked who to be friends with or who to lick ass in order to destroy the reputation of arrogant bastards at the expense of these people.
People who don't talk but act. The people who have leverage here.
You don't need to mince words. We all know who you're really talking about.  Who what did I do this time? |

She said the company needed to update its “fratty” image and change its “out-of-touch humor.”
Well, there's your problem right there. This clearly has nothing to do with some ill-defined concept of "wokeness" and everything to do with a failed attempt to make a trashy beer seem less trashy. That's why nobody took issue with Spuds MacKenzie, the original transgender party animal.  |

Apparently there was some chap who had gone for the bottom ocean "tour" for more than 30 times if i recall well. Did he use the same vessel to carry out such expeditions or there were other, different, missions?
There are a number of vessels that are properly certified to operate at such depths, and by a curious coincidence none of those have ever imploded or suffered any other kind of fatal accident while exploring the Titanic wreck. |

The news said debris was found but no bodies were found. I guess before their bodies could ever start going up, the creatures of the deep devour them already.
What bodies? It is impossible to overstate exactly how catastrophic this "catastrophic implosion" actually was. The pressure at that depth is 2.5 tonnes per square inch. A human body instantaneously subjected to such pressure is, frankly, not going to look like much (of anything) afterwards. The only good news is that we can quite confidently say they didn't suffer. |

The Titan submersible is not missing, the wreckage was located on Thursday 22 June and is consistent with a catastrophic implosion (which would have been instantly fatal to all on board). The implosion is, in turn, consistent with the submersible not being certified to operate at such extreme depths (such certification being deemed "unnecessary" due to her status as an experimental vessel) as well as poorly covered-up engineering reports that she could only withstand a maximum depth of 1,300 meters (versus the 3,800 meters she was expected to descend to).
Let this be a grim reminder that seaworthiness certification is not merely annoying red tape to be avoided by declaring your vessel to be "experimental"; safety regulations are written in blood.

I have read about Adrenochrome before. Was not supposed to be a substance extracted from the blood of human beings?
I had thought that it was frictional and actually did not exist or if existed did not have the psychedelic effects that popular culture claims it to have.
It is fictional. More specifically, it is a fictional drug from the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson and popularised by the 1998 movie adaptation, which later formed the basis of certain conspiracy theories by people who are tragically unable to distinguish fiction from reality (or, more likely, find it useful to recruit and exploit such people). As BADecker is one of those tragic cases, I strongly advise you to place him on Ignore. |
