Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
So it's more of a power play than a actual issue on the rule? Sure the pitch was a ball but the ump felt like being a dick cause you didn't wait for him to talk so he wants to call you out for not waiting for approval.
Black markets are free markets and storage is pretty cheap nowadays.
Even if they ban the visible part of the internet much of the good stuff will remain around in pirated form, locally runable LLMs will help create derivatives and so on and so forth.
And even if they shut those down that...
TRump has done a lot of things, but this executive orser is one of the few good things he has done since becoming president.
He also seems opposed to the UK's id laws.
This is hopeful thinking on my part, but I hope that he can somehow put 2 and 2 together and make an executive order to stop...
The UN is a useless organization mostly staffed by the relatives of shit hole country dictators that are there to suck money out of it.
I say starve it of money, kicking it out of every country on the planet and ultimately disband it.
There were literal cases where UN officials were caught in...
In a case of collateral and broken clock syndrome Trump apparently made an EO that coincidentally benefited Steam against being Censored.
Clearly was intended to protect himself from this exact thing but it could hopefully help with pushing forward actual Laws. Probably by the end of the...
We're going to have to disagree, my bro & I watched DP3 & MW back to back this week. We found Deadpool 3 to be horribly boring, to the point that we watched the last 30 mins at 2x speed, the only positives I took away were the Chris Evans cameo and the car fight scene. Madame Web on the other...
I had a LOT of rock in my ring, and after melting it down enough to thin and having Callie reach into the shadows…I dropped it all. There was a whump of displaced air as the light in the cave flickered wildly. Not enough to wake the bats, and not enough to be extinguished, but it was definitely...

Origins and Ideology

Pre-Great War: The Rise of Mantle and later Atlas
The continent of Solitas, a harsh and frigid land, was initially sparsely populated by nomadic tribes and small settlements of native Solitas peoples who survived the cold and relentless Grimm incursions through resilience and ingenuity. Long...
Thank you, for writing this tale.
I fully intend to give it a full review at one point, but I fear I cannot give it the love it does very much deserve.
It is astounding, and gives a depth to the Pokemon Universe few, if any, others can manage. That, I can tell you now.
Writing this story...
EPILOGUE III
Days earlier.
Having spent two days recuperating from the end of the Conference at home with my family had been soothing on my mind. The tournament's end was confirmation that everything had come to a close; for a few weeks, there would be no more battles to fight, no...
S3ep 6 {The anxiety of peace}
For a while after dealing with the lizard, I had it easy and peaceful, which was good. I love the peace.
After Oliver’s grounding was over, I started taking him out, and this time he was able to hold back correctly.
Honestly, the problem was not holding back...
