"The trouble is," said the Librarian, "that everybody sneers at restrictions and demands freedom, till something annoying happens; then they demand angrily what has become of the discipline."

Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

What they failed to understand was that a creative person can never restrict himself/herself within a particular time-frame. I was no longer a school-going boy. The writer in me revolted – I started to voice my likes and dislikes.

Sorry everyone!

Usually I am not the one who does this, but I needed to restrict some of my mentions, and the people who can reply my posts.

I am sorry about it, but there were unwelcome replies on my posts, tagging several people I did not know, sending a link to who-knows-where. I kept reporting, but they kept showing up.

I did not check the content of that link, so I do not know what that was all about, but I am pretty sure it was some kind of a scam.

Please stay safe out there! And please stay aware of your cyber security!

(Fyi.: My mentions are now for mutuals only and my replies are available for people I follow or those who follow me for a while.)

mangus can you magick away my phone restrictions pls

But if I do that for you, what impetus will you have to learn to do it yourself? Or fight those who put the restrictions on in the first place?

Censorship and forced loyalty can only truly be fixed when those affected by it stand up and say ‘no more’.

Did me and my brother sacrifice teach you nothing?

@noonefromknowhere Too many rules and it kind of defeats the purpose of a q&a in my opinion. How are you going to have deep thoughts and remove anything other than "nice"? That's just fake. "Shiny Happy people holding hands" vibes 😬 I respectfully decline. Sorry, but almost every single thing on my page gets flagged for sexually explicit content even when it's not. I'm not going to be told what videos or pictures I can or can't post on my answers. It's a lot of stipulations just to answer and ask questions if you ask me. Hope it all works out for you though 😇

(Besides everybody has an opinion and it doesn't necessarily line up with others. I'm not going to change the way I speak and make it politically correct just so somebody else doesn't get offended. My rights to freedom of speech don't stop where you're feeling start. Not sorry about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ that block button works for everybody.. Just saying. A world full of censorship is not freedom.)

Also, you're asking somebody who isn't 100% neurologically sound to post the way that you feel is right. I have whatever neurological issues that they have yet to discover on top of my ADD (attention deficit disorder) .. It's funny, in school I was bullied for the exact same thing that you're trying to get people not to do. Just for being myself I was called, "crack head" because I was random and said off topic things.. so, sorry I don't fit your perfect box or anybody else's of posting on topic videos or pictures.. But people like me who like to answer things randomly aren't put here to please people like you or anybody else for that matter. If you're asking people to join your community they're helping you just as much as you're helping them. I get that you're trying to be nice but it put me off when I read that. Especially when you're on about hippie stuff all the time yet it seems like you're for censorship.. 🤔 How that work? (Just an opinion from someone who has issues being, "normal" aka not a good conformant. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

The Bearspaw south feeder main has been reconnected to Calgary's water distribution system, city reservoirs have been filled and all water use restrictions have been lifted, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said at a news conference Sunday morning. Outdoor water restrictions have been in effect since the feeder main, which distributes most of Calgary's treated water, was shut down at the end of August for additional, urgent repairs following its rupture on June 5. Since that rupture, Calgary — and the surrounding communities that depend on its water supply — have been moving through various levels of water restrictions.
