"This is en-tirely my fault, sorry."

[Robsoie]

And I guess since they've been bought out I guess it could be a case of making money but not making enough money for their greedy new corporate overlords.

Yeah, that's exactly that :

On September 27, 2021, Imgur announced that they were acquired by MediaLab AI, Inc., a holding company of internet brands. Shortly after in January, 2022, Alan Schaaf left the company.

Dream where a wasp crawled into my ear and in my attempts to dislodge it, it went and stung me repeatedly.

I can still feel the psychosomatic pain a bit.

New fear unlocked.

Along those lines, I've had a small, idle background-of-mind horror for decades now of fleas somehow crawling into my ear and feasting on my brain. Like, bigger bugs are a smaller worry because it's harder to miss them, but small ones? Fleas, ants? You sometimes don't really feel those until they bite, or after they bite.

... realistically, the actual thing that happens and occasionally kills someone is worm infestations in the brain, but still. The crawlylegs are somehow more visceral despite being less of a concern.

Brain eating bugs are never something you want near your brain.

New fear unlocked.

If it makes it any worse, in the dream I pulled it out with tweezers (prompting it to sting me even more, but at that point my ear was on fire anyway) and in true dream logic, it bit down and pulled my ear inside out. I know it did because the dream sort of went third person and fucking showed me.

After becoming unemployed again, I'm right back into my depressed, self-destructive thought spirals again. I just really wasn't made to be a real living thing with its own prerogatives in life.

Religions and parents may not agree, but we weren't really made to be any thing in particular. So sure, you are right. Life is open ended, and all we can do is do the best of it. Go for long walks and sleep in in the mornings if your economic state doesn't make that impossible.

Dangit everyone else in my house has been symptom-free for like 4 days, and now I'm showing some mild/early symptoms.

Despite my appeal (which seems to have been thoroughly ignored) I'm still banned from Wikipedia. My phone's IP is caught in the ban too, so I can't make an account through that.

All because there's some idiot on there who keeps IP dodging so he can argue with people over trivial points. He's been at it for *over ten years*.

I keep finding minor quibbles in articles now (Like typos) and being unable to correct them.

How does that even happen?  Some RNG misfortune with VPNs assigning IPs?  ...Or are you the 3rd person IP dodger? lol  Figures that you'd start spotting more typos only now that you can't fix them.

For me, I called a food place to order on my drive home, but they put me on hold until I was driving past their business... Negative time saved!

This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Best_known_for_IP

Seems that Wikipedia temporarily bans a whole range of IP addresses when he shows up in them, and he used the IP range my address is in. It'd be no issue if I could actually appeal the thing and get a result.
