  • Sorry if this question is a downer… actually not sorry. My experience with women of your age is that you come in knowing a little more about what you do and what you don’ want but you have relatively little compassion for what a prospective partner may or my not want. I have had the following conversation with multiple women.

    Me: so are we doing the thing we planned to do tonight?
    Her: no, sorry one of my kids (young adult but definitely adult) needs me to do X.
    Me: (trying to be good boyfriend): Oh, that’s a shame. but I understand.
    Her: (sensing my disappointment and getting defensive) I’m sorry but my children always come first.

    Here’s the question bit: If your children always come first, and you presumably come second, that means any man that comes in has to be content with third place. Why the fuck should I be content with third place, permanently?







  • OK so here’s the relevant F.A.Q.:

    Why can’t I access Catbox/access files on Catbox (files.catbox.moe)? Good question! It turns out certain governments in the world hate freedom of information, don’t have net neutrality, don’t see online service providers as legally exempt entities, or a combination of the three! You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:

    Austrailia
        Why? - The Australian government had a heart attack after the Christchurch shooting, and decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website, and has instructed multiple Australian ISPs to implement DNS blocks of Catbox's domains.
        How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
    Ireland/UK
        Why? - Unfortunately the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block on Catbox's primary IP address, due to clips of games being uploaded to Catbox..
        How to resolve? - You will need to utilize a VPN in order to evade this traffic hijack.
    Iran
        Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
        How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
    Afghanistan
        Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
        How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
    Comcast/Comcast Business
        Why? - Comcast Business' "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intecepts traffic going towards Catbox. Residential customers are blocked by "xFi Advanced Security" I have been unable to determine if this is a DNS level block, or an IP level block.
        How to resolve? - Comcast Residential: Disable the "xFi Advanced Security" hijack on your router. Comcast Business: Disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack on your account. See here.
    Spectrum
        Why? - Spectrum's "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intercepts DNS requests for Catbox for an unknown reason.
        How to resolve? - Spectrum Residential customers should disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack in their router/account settings, or use a VPN to bypass the hijack.
        Rogers
            Why? - Unknown. It appears to be dynamically filtering web traffic to Catbox.
            How to resolve? - Disable the "Advanced Security" hijack attack in your Rogers settings
        Verizon
            Why? - Unknown. This is a DNS based block, which means Verizon's DNS servers are returning no result for catbox.moe.
            How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
        Quad9
            Why? - Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons.
            How to resolve? - Use Quad9's alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server.
