At approximately 1200 UTC we experience a problem and the site was unavailable for about an hour. As I understand it, we had some connectivity issues. We are now in the process of investigating. Kudos to TheMightyBuzzard for his way-too-early-in-the-morning work to get us back up!
Registered users will probably have to log back in again.
Here's hoping this is the worst problem you have today!

Trump is a human garbage bag. A beaver mixed with weasel and inbred for a few generations. He is a death dealing racist who is responsible for more American deaths than any president outside war time. He is a con man stealing public tax money and giving away more to his cronies. He is so corrupt, narcissistic, and dishonest he makes Nixon look good.
Conservatives have lost their minds over the last many decades and we all know it is due to the Civil Rights movement. They want their comfortable world where white people and culture are superior and thumb shaped assholes can sit on their couches and not feel bad about not making more of their lives.
Society has passed them by and finally gotten enough of a majority to openly say bigotry is bad and demand equality. The terror inducing ideals of Freedom and Equality. Republicans would be funny if not so sad and dangerous to the well being of others.

We are lucky the deaths are as low as they were. He closed the borders against the desires of every democrat in power (Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, etc) who said the action was racist. No PPE in the stockpile because it had not been refilled (I don't blame Obama for this, this is the fault of whatever employees who failed to do their job). Foreign powers going out of there way to lie and mislead on the facts of the virus delaying an international response.
Trump wanted to close the borders of NY, had Coumo not threatened to leave the union over this we would have been able to reduce 95% of cases in the US. NY was only as bad as it was because they refused his travel restrictions on Italy and Iran for being "racist"
Trump's a dumbass, but the decisions he makes with his gut are right on target.

Okay, OCD is one thing . . . that was . . . something else. Ahh..., hmm..., looking at the friendly wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_disorder [wikipedia.org] There's a lot more to it than just repetitive oddities and weird tics. Though, I would have likened that post to near spam levels of things. Personally, I was wondering, if you'd been hacked.

A buddy of mine always used to bemoan that he didn't have OCD manifest as hoarding or cleaning. It was intrusive thoughts, that he'd involuntarily share at the most inopportune time; hilarious and horrifying in equal measure.

Yeah, that's the kind I have. It is usually extremely painful. Imagine the fear of tilting too far back in a chair, or the worst fear of your life to the point you felt physically sick, and have that all day, every day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep. That's what it's like if I'm unmedicated.

Did you know, the human brain has a nice crease down the middle which would be great for taking a shit into? The log would just lay between the two hemispheres vertically. Make sure to close the skull back up afterwards, then you can really call them a shithead.
