Refreshing the world. ☕ ☕

I’d say people are just so disillusioned with the current state of affairs that they simply stay home on election day. That’s one of the big "secrets" to their "success." A huge chunk of the younger voting population doesn't show up at all, and generally, it's the same story for anyone under 45. In my experience...

They won't even bother spoiling their ballot, even if they just wanted to make sure nobody got their vote...

Pretty much...

Reading this gives me a massive headache...

A lot of companies go under because of these kinds of dynamics. Private firms obviously suffer, while state-run ones just keep "thriving." But you see this in the private sector quite a bit too—some bosses have such massive egos that they refuse to admit they're making mistakes until everything is literally crashing down in front of them. Even then, some still won't see sense. Instead, they just keep pointing fingers at everyone else and looking for scapegoats.

I guess we should have some mercy on the little guy. The cycling season is wrapping up, so there won't be any more "prostate massages" on those phallic-looking bike frames. He's going to be bored 😁

But, all jokes aside, I've been on this forum long enough to see plenty of absolute losers and hypocrites get treated way better—and ultimately spared from these kinds of measures. I won't get into the specifics of why, but it feels like it would be fair if the Quark crowd...

Douglas Johnson41 said:Could he just open an alt account and try to appeal the ban through that?

Personally, I think that’s a bad move. If he tries it, the mods or admins could just issue a permanent ban on the alt too, which gives them even more reason to keep Quark permanently banned. It would be better if they just stripped his permanent status with the FBI first, then let him come out and address this here himself.

I mean, I don't know, but hitting someone with a permanent ban from the FBI is basically like tying their hands and feet, putting a millstone around their neck, and tossing them into a pool just to see if they can swim...

I’m with you on this. I won't get bogged down in the weeds, but Michael Morgan5 pretty much summed it all up perfectly.

The issue is that Quark can’t exactly defend himself since he’s been permabanned from the FBI too, which feels like a pretty nonsensical move to me. It's a closed loop—he's banned from the very platform where he would actually need to ask for forgiveness.

I honestly thought the FBI was supposed to be off-limits when it comes to permanent bans and stuff like that.

Nancy Young79 said:I can't get my images uploaded from my computer to the forum either because TinyPic keeps failing... is there any other way?

What do you mean it won't upload? I just pushed 9 photos through TinyPic about half an hour ago without a hitch.

Just recycling links now?

I wouldn't know. I've been uploading tons of photos over the last few months and haven't run into any issues. 🤷

Maria Gray45 said:So now we're just posting sweet pictures via checks?
This forum has been a complete mess lately. Images aren't loading, you can't even see your own posts or anyone else's, and it keeps freezing so much I can barely log in. It's ridiculous.

Photobucket works perfectly fine.

By the way, I ran into that weird trick with removing letters on another forum when I was trying to embed YouTube videos. The thing is, they switched from http to https, and once you strip that 's' out, everything embeds just fine. Otherwise, it's a no-go. Just how it goes.

northernpilot2 said:Just because that date shows up in the notice doesn't mean the feature will be back by then. That’s just when the notification expires; they can extend it if needed, or change it whenever. It has zero impact on the actual timeline for bringing the search function back.

And honestly, someone here suggesting that moderators just copy-paste the same thing all over Reddit is ridiculous.
The notice clearly states the feature is TEMPORARILY disabled and will be restored soon.

So, it's coming back. Stop trolling by claiming it's gone for good and spreading misinformation.
It was disabled for a valid reason, and the admin team isn't obligated to disclose exactly what that is. Once the issue is fixed, the feature returns and you'll be notified. Simple as that.

That bolded part—are you kidding me? So we're just here at your beck and call? 🤦

Instead of providing an explanation or even a vague reason so people actually know what's happening, we get this arrogant "we're in charge" attitude? Is that the master plan for running a community—acting like royalty while everyone else just bows down? Really?

Found this:

Thoughts?

Nah, it doesn't bother me. If anything, I'm not the one doing the ignoring.

Didn't you put me on ignore? 🤔

Ran into this bundle at KTC for $140:

Anyone here have experience with this? What's the verdict?

That caught my eye too, though I usually associate Cooler Master with other components. What I'm really looking for is a solid recommendation—it doesn't have to be a bundled set. I just want advice from someone who actually knows their mice and keyboards and can stay within this budget...

Ideally from someone who’s actually put the gear through its paces...

So, I'm currently using a Logitech MX series mouse and a Logitech K350 keyboard, which just aren't cutting it when it comes to gaming—especially during FPS sessions. Aside from that, I’m pretty happy with them, but I need a dedicated mouse and keyboard setup specifically for gaming. I know for sure I want to go wired this time, and my budget is around $250$117 for the pair. I'd love some recommendations within that range for something solid. It doesn't have to be top-of-the-line, just something that performs well. A combo pack works too.

Me too 🙂
