The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.
Even if we're not particularly selfish, if we're posting here then we're MUCH too old to get into the Jedi training program.
Anikin only got a pass because he's the Chosen One™ with an absurdly high ForceBS™ rating, and he needed that pass while being too young to post here.
Nah, that's PR to shift blame.
Any employee of a donut shop has already signed away his right to sue the donut shop for anything donut-related, yet will get fired for taking home a left-over donut instead of throwing it away.
The donut shop does not fear a lawsuit. That's a lie. The truth is...
It's profitable to create scarcity.
Getting more specific about who to blame will run into Rule 8 pretty quick but the systemic failure is obvious when you look at how we've prioritized profitability over livability.

Zoom has had a ("partial"?) global outage for more than an hour so far, doesn't seem "partial" in NYC nor Cali.
Remote employees everywhere:

Can you actually do it though?
I can't do binary fast enough on my fingers to count anything that happens fast enough to need finger-counting rather than notation.
The way I count on my fingers is:
Right fingers: 1 2 3 4
Right thumb: 5 and turn down fingers, that gets to 9 on one hand.
Left fingers 10 20 30 40
Left thumb: 50 and turn down fingers, this gets me to 99 using both hands.
Solo Leveling has several things that put it above the pack:
- It took advantage of a then-new media (WebToon vertical scroll) and had above-average art for its time.
- The writing wasn't so bad that it turned people off immediately. It's a fairly standard power-up story, but the execution is...
I'm just picturing someone saying, "If you enjoy sodomy, then God will push your shit in" and the sodomy-enjoyer thinking Yes, that's precisely what I enjoy, what a nice God.
Just saw these two manga translation releases next to each other and it made me wonder...
Is this a thing in Japan now? Are lesbian brothels common IRL or even in real-life media?
It could also be read as prohibiting "(content depicting or encouraging serious violence) or (bullying content)" especially as the word "content" appears twice.
That would mean content which bullies a real person is prohibited, like if I were to write a sex story about how terrible Biigoh is in...
I really want to see a Celestial Forge / Grimoire story where the MC gets no benefit from either introspection or power description, and all "word count" progress requires dialog with other characters.
Maybe also action in a scene if that can be separated out and counted, but definitely dialog...
