An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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.
If the local cops have it in for you, leaving the area might be your only option.
Maryland is supposed to have good social services, dunno about the states closer to you.

Last time I had a D&D BBQ was before Covid, out in NJ at my friend's place, and we made sausages & hamburgers (part beef, part ground bacon).
Not bad, but not as good as yours.
Yeah and the "up to four but not for long" is like the prequels with Dooku, Bane, Sidious, and Anikin.
Very true.
I read a good historical anthropology book recently ("The Dawn of Everything" by David Graeber and David Wengrow) which talked about the three forms of governing power throughout...
Are you a Sith?
Because that totally sounds like something George Lucas would write.
(Or did Lucas rip off your tribe? Er I mean "discover" your tribal history, to use the more popular term.)
Post how much it is, someone might help.
Also isn't there something about the state picking up your insurance if you fill out some forms? (I live in NYC and don't own a car so this "car insurance" stuff is all a mystery to me.) Obviously you'll need money to pay for this month but you may have...

If you can get an empty jar, and some juice boxes or powered milk, you can use the oatmeal for camping overnight oats. Jar of peanut butter would be great (because you'd also get some peanut butter maybe).
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.
