  1. As some of you may already know, the SFN server hardware is currently located in the UK. I will quote from what was announced to the staff: “This year the UK government passed a bill called the Online Safety Act. A brief description of the Act is set out here, but the tl;dr of it is that there are now a set of laws in place in the UK that put a duty of care on operators of social media sites in order to make them accountable for the things that are posted on those sites, which could be harmful to children and other users. The focus in the media has mostly been around the larger sites like Facebook, but actually, the act is extremely broad” The upshot of this is that a modest operation like ours can’t be hosted in the UK on servers run by SFN; the requirements are too onerous and no individuals should be asked to take on the liability should someone find that weren’t compliant in some detail. It’s not enough to think we’re taking the right steps, and we don’t have lawyers on retainer to make sure of things. (Small UK bulletin board sites might be shuttering by the end of this week if their owners are aware of what’s going on) Shifting to a hosting option that avoids this is moving forward. This might end up being completely transparent to our members and visitors, but Murphy always seems to pop up and invoke their law, so there might be disruptions. We will keep you apprised as more information becomes available.

  2. Maybe we are being a little hard on Trump. We tend to think of Ukrainian kids, whose lives he affects, foreign aid and social security cuts, or are own self interests, prices of groceries etc. I could go on. Trump is above all that. Maybe in a good way. He does have his good side. Here he is taking his own valuable time, when he could be golfing, to support a friend who has just lost a lot of money in the last couple days on the stock market. Probably thousands of times more than all of us here reading this has ever lost combined. President Donald Trump, alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk, speaks next to a Tesla vehicle at the South Portico of the White House on Tuesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk/trump-musk-tesla-white-house-showroom-buys-car-rcna195905 Makes you think. Doesn't it? Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all. Won't anyone think of the billionaires?

  3. Unamended, yes, as it stands, the constitution is a living document and the definition of a citizen has been amended towards greater inclusivity. I think what @TheVat is saying, is that the framework for equality was always there, and now that initial framework has been amended to be much more than that, it has made diversity, equity and inclusion, constitutional.

  5. So I believe I overheard a convo behind my back in calc today. Her friend said something about "creeper" (btw, this is nothing new to me, I go charged with a misdemeanor for nothing basically rather recently before changing colleges in this second god forsaken state after MO which is TN); )Ya know when I was a kid bitches weren't this brutal. Anyhow she said something to the effect of "creeper" and of course with my track record I immediatelly assume me. Btw, nothing inappropriate had been uttered by me once. IIRC, "Caroline Hall" says something to the effect of "I'm too goodlooking" ya know on mainstreet MO saint charles off the river I fucked up two college dudes and have a scar across my nose, I have a 4 pack abs, but the scar maybe is what Caroline was talking about. Ya know what caused the fight? Perhaps alcohol and my condition as a puostpuberty 20-year incel to my standards although not technically celibate. Anyhow, I won't be showing up to that class until after Spring Break, give them some time to rethink their opinion assuming it had anything to do with me. Okay, couple things, one: unified field theory, I won't be giving you everything but here's a taste: PYSCHE I've given enough.My math prof knows the calc derived topology and the inability of trig to find a true circle so. Bye. As I'd be banned for this and IDGAFF. I don't give a flying fuck
