My perception is that sex-starved males are seen as dangerous, and the fear of that easily translates into a stigma.
I recall my recently-divorced friend (with a young daughter) trying to describe this to me: how almost overnight the girly sleepovers and socials went from common & spread across the homes to "silently forbidden" and unspokenly "anywhere but his house". But he was the same guy as just days before, but (so the theory goes) the only change was that now people "knew" he was not being... pacified?
I would sooner blame the management, that would even think of excluding "untested" or "unsupported" browsers, like some kind of technofacist dictator, instead of choosing a helpful "if you're having problems with our shit site, use chrome" message... or even literally doing nothing... everything is broken these days, and a half-functional site is better than an intentionally-broken one.
Lol. I was impressed to see a seedling growing out of a rock just an hour ago... you win.

I get the "feeling" of a mandela effect far more frequently than i can solidly know for sure. I guess my first experience was decades ago as a child. I recall staring at a Bernstein bears book, and being oddly transfixed by tye fact that the spelling of the title did not match that of the authors name, literally inches apart on the same page. Later i experienced a schrodenbug or two (which i think is the same phenomenon), and one really solid social ME were a church ceased to exist (or got merged into a neighboring church). After the first few, now I fully admit I am WAY too quick to believe odd circumstance is a ME, and usually find myself reluctantly disproving that to myself with notebook/journal entries... only to later wonder how they might change too.

If I had to guess... until the revolution.
Gotta hide the drive plumes of our secret spacecraft...
I kinda want to hear more of this story... care to share the details? i.e. what was the root cause?
Why yes, I HAVE been there, actually...
Assuming they keep the upstream pronunciation theory, I think it would be: fringe-n-x
Oof...
That's literally what they do, just "paced". See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_bond
Pretty much anything from protectli. Very flexible.

Luigi doing nothing?
"Elevated Jam Tracks" from youtube, can't have distracting vocals.
The ability to financially support those one would leech off of (both bandwidth & sourcing)... Nothing mandatory, but perhaps being able to post a bounty for particular hard-to-find material, or for someone to seed a dead torrent.
Angry upvote...
What that power ranger leader looks like on the other side of the tube.
What are you doing, step-dog?
Illuminatii confirmed!
My deepest sympathies...
Abducted.

Afroshia? ... pronounced like 'ambrosia'?
One could argue that they do "try to stop you"... technically... by disabling the execute bit on software update tools (like apt & deb)... but I see that more as a gentle reminder and acknowledgement of your ownership of the machine, as they could have easy just not had those tools present at all.
I left the moment that I could!
