Yep.
That's why they're banned here.
I don't know the specifics but from what I've gathered it's less of a legal ban and more an angry mob type ban.

It was just as bad as I imagined it. And I had a lot of work, too
Whew. Hopefully today was the worst.

I don't even feel sexual attraction. It's clear that I don't in my profile. But...

I'm convinced people never read these things. I've started just ignoring any DM that starts with shit like "Hi" or "how are you" because they almost always turn out to be from weirdos that are trying to solicit nudes or convert me into a Neo-Nazi or something.

Neo-Nazi? That's new to me, I didn't know they DMed people to try to convert them. Weird x.x

Whenever I get a random DM, I always check their profile, mutual servers, mutual friends, to find out how they got to me. If they look or seem shady (pfp, name, etc) I ignore them or more often block.

Tbh I'm exaggerated there. But I get some weird questions about politics since I study it.

Ah. What kind of weird questions if you don't mind me asking?

Mostly just asking me specifics about the leanings of my lecturers. Feels like they're gathering proof for the whole "all academia is icky libtards" thing you see going around. Both of mine are actually openly right wing, not that they let it conflict with what they teach.

I hate when they use phrases like "libtards" and "conservaturds". Why can't they just accept the fact that not everyone shares the same opinion? Like, hello... accept reality :0

"Conservaturd"? That's a new one to me, although its definition is pretty easy to ascertain.
I do have to wonder how many of the people using the two phrases are trying to fit in by using these, how many have perceived suffering at the hands of the side they're insulting, and how many actually DIRECTLY suffered through the target side's policies rather than their individuals.
That's as far down this political rabbit-hole as I dare go.

Yes I think it'd be wise to move on.
What I will say though, is that I have learned both through my course and by talking online, is that you have to use a gentler touch with individuals. You ain't gonna convince someone you're right by sending them threats.

Keep using the vent thread! Don't even think about whether you use it a lot or not!
The vent thread is basically a second home for me and some others. If it helps even a teeny bit, or gives you a chance to hear some life-changing advice, take it!

Yeah I get you. Most of my vents are pretty small,but occasionally I'll post one like last night that's somewhat more serious (Other examples include Dad being a prick, being weird about my sexuality, etc..)

I mean, all newspapers would be banned everywhere if crappy journalism was grounds to ban them

As I said from what I've gathered it's more of an informal ban, in that the general public gets angry if merchants try and sell it.
And The Sun is a whole other tier of crappy. The reason Liverpool specifically hates it is due to their coverage of The Hillsborough Disaster, during which they blamed the football fans rather than poor management, going as far to claim they robbed the corpses and attacked first responders.

Eh that kind of catastrophic mistakes are routine in the press, that's pretty mild. The new york times won a Pulitzer for Holodomor negationism

Whilst idly viewing this story I found a bit in the aforementioned rag describing CC as 'Top Comic designer'.....
I'm tossing up either, coughing up a lung with laughter or being mortally offended.
