What is up with the random blocking of images and the slow ass loading of YouTube videos? The latter might have to do with the recent Tibet incident though it can still load albeit slowly. I don't know why it's blocking images some of the times though, it worked fine before but just now I had to fish for the post reply button. Any other image is blocked as a matter of fact that's not cached. It can load pages almost instantly so I doubt it's the connection. I doubt it's the firewall either. Help?

    Why the inconsistency though? It's like the government hired a monkey to sit behind a desk and block sites while blindfolded for no apparent reason other than being huge dickwads. NO PORNOGRAPHY FOR YOU.

    No, that's not the reason I'm upset about this. I just can't view the SE++ forum battles. :(

    Edit: Hey, it's working again!

    My advice is to not live in a country that is pretty much universally decried for being one of the worst offenders when it comes to human rights violations and censorship.

    Oh, I'm just visiting relatives. You're spot on though. The last day I went to the theatre to watch Iron Man for the second time and noticed they cut the sex scene. Because, man, THAT SCENE WAS BRIMMING WITH LUST. IT'S A WAY OF BIRTH CONTROL YOU SEE.
