Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

You're welcome. I have no idea what the fuck he's saying, but boy, is he passionate about it! I definitely agree with him!
I retract my words, I do not agree with him! I respect Takeshi's dedication, though. I'm very concerned about the car he's chasing...
I'm probably a person that could end up on that show. But, yeah, American and British reality TV fucking sucks. ESPECIALLY the former. Won't you respect the viewer's intelligence and attention span?
Ha, you looked it up? You little rascal, paying so much attention on your 6 PM evening.
Do angels sleep?/
You've been here for quite a while.
Sleep is my mortal enemy whenever I am in a rebellious mood. Got told to sleep the hour before, nuh-uh! (It's 2:29 GMT RN) 129,584
Angels do go dormant sometimes. Plus, places like Purgatory and Sheol are designed to be spiritual limbo; experiential stagnation. I'd imagine it's not quite like our human sleep, though. They don't need rest!
Hell's kitchen intensifies.
Why not sleep in heaven though? Surely it would be more pleasant? 129:584
Well, Heaven isn't exactly a place you can sleep in; it's hardly even a place, it's more of a state. Heaven is when you have come to be so closely connected with God that, in your union with the divine, your soul becomes indistinguishable from it and you enter a state of perfect existential fulfillment.
''Supposedly better''. Seems to me you transform into something else entirely which makes the whole fulfilment pointless since you can't recieve fulfilment. That something else is just a piece of God, like everything else would be.
Why does an angel want to die anyway
Technically I'm suicidal Jesus, owner of the ctb church.
Yeah, that's a common critique. The thing is, your soul is separate from your mind and body; your body is physical and the vessel that you use to navigate and experience the world, and to a degree, your current mind is influenced by your body, too. When you die and you lose your body, human mind goes with it, and all that's left is what your soul experiences; but that's still you, as in, the essence that comprises your unique being. So, from there, it becomes a question of which part you consider integral to identity. The form of you? The idea of you? Or the manifestation of you? When someone undergoes amnesia or severe psychosis, and they become an entirely different person, would you say that, since they're something else, they are a new individual altogether? Or are they still the same individual?
Maybe I'm just really nihilistic, but I am really uncovinced that the soul isn't anything different from an ego in this case. (Not a good rebuttal most likely, can't think of a better one at this moment due to low knowledge). 129,585
