US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White condemned Cofnas’s suspension and said the Trump administration would review its relationship with the university.
The US will never recover from the diplomatic damage this administration has done and continues to do on an almost daily basis.
Highly unserious people.
The problem is that when graphics become to realistic, you enter the uncanny valley, which makes things seem off.
IME it’s better when they (slightly) stylise the graphics, which makes the game look less realistic, but you weirdly end up noticing it less.
You’re not wrong. Hell, a few weeks ago I was banned 500 times by some weirdo, I now suspect because I interacted with you or maybe upvoted one of your comments.
But I hope you’re aware that you may be suffering from CPTSD related hyper vigilance. CPTSD because of all the (ongoing) trauma you face because you’re enby, hyper vigilance because you are now constantly aware of threats.
It’s a perfectly understandable reaction, but it can be very exhausting. Having to carry a knife to a supermarket or be prepared for an attacker while taking a shit, isn’t a fun way to live.
I hope you have been able to create a sanctuary where you can feel safe. I hope you’re also able to get the help you need coping with it. My CPTSD is caused by other things, but for example I find grounding exercises and keeping a gratitude journal useful. Doesn’t change the cause of my CPTSD, but has helped me cope.
So to be clear, I am absolutely not saying that the threats you face aren’t real, but suggesting you take care of yourself because you can’t be hyper vigilant all the time without it negatively impacting you.
TLDR: take care of yourself and an internet hug.
But in this case, I was banned 500+ times from one community I’ve never heard of.
According to another comment, the mod banned then unbanned me 500 times.
Which is really weird, because as far as I know, I’ve never even interacted with them.
I also didn’t get any notifications that I’d been banned. I just happened to be looking through lemmy.world’s modlog.
Goes to show there are some really strange people out there who will get upset at you for seemingly no reason.
No idea. But apparently you can ban someone over 500 times without them noticing.
Is that why you can’t see their username?
It’d be pretty sad if something I said sent them into such a rage that they banned me 500 times, deleted their own account, and I didn’t even notice until two weeks later.
It’s/its is also common mistake with non-native speakers.
The really obvious one is using of instead of instead of have. Would of. Should of. Could of. From would’ve, should’ve, could’ve. Non-native speakers will rarely if ever make that mistake.

Get a cheap paid VPN subscription, cancel any and all streaming services, don’t buy any media or books, pirate anything you like. Books, audiobooks, movies, tv shows, everything. I recommend Qbit torrent, bind to vpn, piracy community is in the sidebar for suggested websites. Use ublock origin.
Much much cheaper than not having a VPN.
Hell, if you want to save money get Mullvad for a month (like you just did) and torrent as much as possible. Then cancel until you need it again. $5 for potentially $10000 dollars worth of content. No brainer.
Hope the Russian fascist regime doesn’t decide to take a gamble and test NATO.
The last time the CIA chief visited Moscow was shortly before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Not great that he’s just visited again.
I know Europe’s weak and divided, but Russia taking yet another stupid gamble will backfire. I worry that it will also spark a dangerous nationalist backlash. Europe, nationalism and militarism aren’t a great combo.
On the other hand, according to some climate estimates European cities might face maximum temperatures of 50 (120F) by 2050. So maybe a nuclear winter is for the best.
Cunts are still running the world.
Very annoying.
And they take up almost no space, so that makes it even more annoying. I make sure to keep seeding as much as possible.
I think I have that among my torrents. 33 seeders.
Maybe you’re still seeding a torrent that’s no longer as popular.
Steal the carts and sell them back to the store for a finders fee.
jam it onto or tie it to the tow hook.
Disc rot is also a thing.
I find it’s best to accept entropy, that you’re going to die, that everything ends, that you will lose data, that there will be a last time you watch a movie or show, and keep running those ssd/hdds even when they’re in the yellow/red warning zone.
Years back I was sorting through ten years of emails. I got so sick of it, I simply deleted everything. You know what? No drawbacks even ten years later. Such a huge relief.
Reminds me of the artist Michael Landy who chucked everything he owned - pictures, clothes, artwork, his passport - into a shredder. Performance art, reaction against consumerism. He was understandably miserable doing it, but what a relief that must have been. To be free of all the crap. It is true that the things you own often end up owning you.
My grandparents hoarded all their lives, and after they died much of what they owned ended up in a skip, because there wasn’t enough time or interest to sell it. The supposedly priceless porcelain? Chucked. All the records? Sold. Furniture? Goodwill. The huge supply of sunlight soap? Really useful actually.
