Slightly different time and I was using some methods that made it more difficult to determine it waa a VM. Purely guessing - but based on timing it seemed like I wasnt over a threshold - so manual review was used and that wasn't as fast or frequent.

    Meanwhile I play(ed) on a VM and would frequently have to fight with support over: no, fuck you - unban me. Virtual hardware isn't a valid reason to ban every few months. It worked. It was bothersome - so I quit playing. Ample free time for games that weren't user hostile.

    Torrents are, by design, popularity based bandwidth... Might I suggest newsgroups that can have retention of 25+ years? Oh and the speeds are enough to make your (insert connection type) beg for mercy.

    That is absolutely not true. I'll personally be campaigning to see that he is entombed under Centralia, Pennsylvania... and then renaming the town to trumpsville. He always did like his name on things. It would only seem fitting to charge people to visit it... just like he would want.

    Its the perfect monument. Poetic even. It only seems right to cast a demon into proverbial hell -in- earth... in a place where "corruption" destroyed society. Most yuuuuge monument ever. And honestly? Its win win. I figure eventually the fire will be put out from all the people coming to piss on his grave. The proceeds can benifit the homeless and starving... I call it "trickle" down economics. After all: aren't we due some winning?

    Shit it'd probably be the closest he ever came to telling the truth.

    VC won't give you the time of day if you lack a product or platform. This isnt go-fund-me or r/wsb. VC appear to bet big but are frequently pretty well informed and diversified. Their big bets aren't much from their prospective... and frequently will be the first to squeeze "their due" from a failing venture.

    I dont see how Elon makes a good example for this. If anything it supports what I said:

    Elon is wealthy. He has a platform. He has shit he's bought and is reselling snake oil from those things. He's not poofing something from nothing.
