^ I think the fact you looked up the weather in Oklahoma may have sort of crossed the line, and come off as stalker-esque, intrusive behavior. That obviously wasn’t your intention, but it might come off that way, at least to a neutral, outside observer like myself. At the very least, confronting someone with “evidence” that runs contrary to what they’ve already told you will of course come off like an accusation, even if that wasn’t the intention.

I understand your point of view. To be honest, at first I was unsure whether or not to mention the fact that I had checked the temperature in Oklahoma, precisely because I thought she might take offense to it. However, I ultimately decided to include that part anyway, because I thought it would not have been a big deal. To be fair though, that point was a relatively minor detail in the message I sent. I didn’t focus entirely on it — I simply brought it up at the end to use it as an example before saying: “Are you sure you are telling me everything? If something is wrong, do not be afraid to tell me, because I want to be there for you.” Also, as I mentioned in my previous post, she and I have known each other for a year and a half. We are no longer strangers, and she knows how to read my behavior. I have always been incredibly patient with her, and I have consistently put her needs before my own. There were times when I wanted to continue our online role-playing games, but she wasn’t in the mood, and I was always willing to give her space. She knows this. So, if I am worried about her, it’s because I genuinely feel that something is wrong. It’s not impatience talking — it’s my intuition.

I hate Global Warming, Days of 70 plus degree weather on October 31st and November 1st totally normal for it to feel like July.

No air conditioning in my livingroom or kitchen. On the second floor hotter than a hot tin roof in summer. Darn landlord has the heat on all the time. Sure, not in my apartment but the adjoining hallway so my place is like a sweat lodge even with the windows open.

Why can’t it be 40 degrees like it’s supposed to be.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My ad blocker on my iPhone means I can’t access Rotten Tomatoes at all unless I turn it off, then I have to turn it back on again. Damned first world problems.

I hate the fuckin’ rotten tomatoes, man.

But seriously, I loathe that site and the discourse it’s fostered. If I ever get a film made, I want Rotten Tomatoes to give it a low rating so I can have have “Certified Rotten” proudly printed on the back of the DVD box.

I thoroughly dislike review bombing, brigading and gatekeeping. If that is what you referring to SuperWeapon.

RT is simply supposed to take reviews from other sites and be an aggregate. But they treat them like the new Siskel and Ebert or something.

And I didn’t always agree with them either. Or the Peter Travers of the world, but at least they had some journalistic knowledge and knew movies.

That’s literally half of it, but I’m not going to feign any admiration for film critics, either. Most are elitist windbags.

Sometimes a non-negative review or middle of the road review will be scaled as a rotten. If it’s not a glowing review that entire system is flawed.

A lot of movies are going to hit that middle road from an excellent film to the worst movie ever made.

But the aggregate is being used to promote Fresh and Rotten. And they’ll be rotten film you’ll enjoy but the critics hated, and they’ll be 90% fresh films you see, you will absolutely loathe.

Cinema Score can also be misleading there are some atrociously bad films that get an A rating.

I suppose you can see critics as being the first influencers, before youtube personalities and social media stars. Or even in my day pop star idols, you were told what music to listen to, how to dress and so on. and it was all about corporate and capitalist ventures.

Make up your own mind, and have your own identity is a maxim.

I hate to be repetitive, but now at the end of this year I am even more thoroughly embarrassed by my previous posts from the first part of the decade. I hope to never go through that ever again. And looking back in retrospect I never should have spilled my bile of the time in this forum.

And I see my 2016-2017 posts as just as embarassing as my 2020-2021/2023 posts.

My Mom’s aide gave me attitude and accused me of things i’m not even doing, she gets paid an enormous amount of money to work 5 hours a week. I put in that amount daily and I don’t get paid.

Twice today I had picked my mom’s recycling off the ground because she put in bin with no lid and its blowing, blowing around.

And her aide gets angry at her for being in a wheelchair, but my mom likes her she would sooner fire me.

God forbid her aide follows the rules on putting recycling in the recycle instead of the trash dumpster. It was just as suggestion not an accusation.

Trash and recycling it doesn’t matter, well the environment matters to me lady.

And the attitude I have to the work the day after new years. so did I every single bleeping year, you deserve a medal.

Me storing stuff at mom’s place are you kidding me, I have boxes of her pictures and glassware and god knows what else in my apartment.

The last 7 months moving 3 times and dealing with the new owners who took over the apartments who want to run it like a Condo has been hellish. Lets hope 2025 is better. Though accusing me of not paying first and last when I know I paid I have to go the bank and get statements to prove it. Accommodating to the disabled and elderly hardly, they no longer have covid as excuse to mistreat us. You call there no one ever answers, and the office doors are always locked and they are only open twice a week 9-12. But maintenance is there 6 days a week. Moved me into a new unit with no room, paying more rent less freedom, no back yard, can’t make noise. Crazy neighbors. I could have done without the entire charade. Plus I always have neighbor’s false complaints and following me and taping me with their phone. Years ago you could cook hamburgers outside or run a garden hose without someone tattling. Now god forbid i put up my tv loud enough to watch a film, forget about it.

I bought Megalopolis two months ago, today i go into my library the film is no longer available because it was pulled due to contractual reasons. No refund and i can’t watch my movie just because i waited a few weeks.

This is the first time I’ve bought something, and it wasn’t on the server after it left rental or purchase.

What a crooked thing to do, oh well we sold the rights to Peacock. Why sell me something and then take it away.

This is why I will never buy a digital copy ever. Once the rights expire that movie is gone, thus you wasted your money.

The rollout of the new AnimEigo has been a complete disaster all copies of Bubblegum Crash Blu-Ray have been recalled.

I really wish Robert had not retired and sold his company.

I hope we get a new release date but Justin Sevakis hasn’t said a darn thing about it. It’s like they will quietly try and get it out by the end of the month.

Basically the last couple years have sucked to be a fan of Anime first the death of Rightstuf and whatever you can call this new company its not AnimEigo, only in name.

Edit: so they responded to me before shadow banning me on their youtube channel. A-ok at the replicator for a new batch. That doesn’t help how super irritated I am after spending 70 dollars and buying it twice and having no blu-ray, especially considering it still has no listed release date.

I assume rarewaves also didn’t have it and screwed me. I’ll have to get Ebay to get them to refund me. Not pleased with how unapologetic and blase they are about the entire thing, Robert would never have treated a customer like that. They have to get their act together and I’m not supporting this nonsense as much as I like Justin.

I get they are a boutique, but you can’t keep a customer out of the loop and on the hook for months waiting for a disc to be released when they preordered it and its been cancelled twice. Despite having a Jan listed release date which is a lie. Won’t even admit they recalled all the stock, claim and say it was all sold, despite no more than maybe less than a hundred copies being sold of the disc with the error before it was recalled and the entire batch returned to distributor.

I was permanently banned from a subreddit and temporarily banned from Reddit for 7 days. And I am pissed off.

So, what happened? Let me break it down for you as simply as possible.

Basically, I posted some comments in a subreddit. Those comments got me banned from that subreddit for seven days. Now, just to be clear, my comments were not hateful, not racist, and not the kind of offensive nonsense that could justifiably get me banned from Reddit altogether. They were just a bit snarky, a little sharp — let’s say they had a bit of an edge to them. And apparently, that was enough to get me banned for “toxicity.”

Fine. I accepted it. No problem.

Now, here is where things took a turn.

Today, while going through my notifications, I noticed one I had not replied to. I clicked on it, and it turned out to be a comment someone had left for me in that same subreddit where I was banned. But this comment was in an entirely different thread, totally unrelated to the discussion that got me banned in the first place.

And then I had a lapsus. For a moment, I completely forgot I had been banned. So I tried to reply to the comment, but the system would not let me. I kept clicking “send,” but my response would not go through.

Now, because of this lapsus, my brain did not make the connection: “Oh, I cannot reply because I am banned.” Instead, I assumed there was some kind of system glitch preventing me from responding.

So, in my infinite wisdom, I thought, “Screw it, I will just make another account and reply from there.” That way, I figured, I could get my response through despite what I assumed was just a Reddit bug.

Well, bad idea.

Shortly after, I got a notification saying: “You attempted to evade a ban, so now you are permanently banned from this subreddit.” And then, about thirty minutes later, I got another notification: “You have been temporarily suspended from Reddit for seven days.”

That is when it hit me: “What the hell did I just do?”

Because I had not actually intended to break the rules. I had not tried to get around the ban on purpose; I had just had a lapsus and completely forgotten I was banned in the first place! When I made that second account, it was not to dodge the ban, but because I genuinely thought there was a technical issue stopping me from replying.

But, well… here we are.

Now I am permanently banned from that subreddit and suspended from Reddit for a week.
