Just had a thought that if everyone did this it would work:
when you get the error page if you click on Details>Report an Error, and Submit, then Google might stop showing the warning, if enough of us did it.

[Coryn]

Hm, I'm not getting an error  Although I'm on the Eucosia mobile app, not on Google, so that could be the difference.

I can guarantee that MR hasn't turned into a phishing site though. Unless this whole forum has been a (checks watch), 15 year long plan to steal all of our data 

[Suuper-san]

yeah, it's on chrome. Google is quite good with preventing users from clicking stuff but this time it's been a bit too paranoid.
I dont get the error on my mobile which is nice.

[Suuper-san]

going through a bit of a phase at the moment, I dont know if I'm coming or going.
haven't done much art for the last week or so, still been somewhat busy elsewhere tho.

lost quite a bit of momentum, can't seem to focus like I used to. something, somewhere, has changed in my mindset and I can't figure out what it is yet. It's been like that since january tbh and it's been pretty annoying and a tiny bit depressing to not be where I think I should be.

But I'm getting better at not procrastinating so at least that's something.

Probably I'll get over it at some point, got half term this week so no work gives me extra time to do stuff.

[Coryn]

Sorry to hear it's been rough for you buddy. I hope you can find some other activities to tide you over until you get your groove back. We're all susceptible to the creative funk that falls over people like us from time to time. Don't get beat by it! I always remember every time I'm in a slow spot (like now) that I basically took 3 years off from 2015-2018, only to come back stronger than ever.

Maybe is a dry answer, but try spending some time helping others while you're not productive yourself. MR is always in need of people giving criticism (I could take my own advice here of course). So remember there's people here who could benefit from your collective knowledge!

[Suuper-san]

yeah, fortunately (?!) I've had enough downs to know that the ups are on the way, just gotta ride out the rough patches.

trouble is when i'm down i dont feel too great at helping others either, like my entire database is down for maintenance kinda feeling.

sometimes i've had a similar feeling before a breakthough or development, so i'm sort of hoping that i'll have a massive rebound and end up in a higher level than previously. but that's more wishful thinking than anything else.

[Coryn]

Well, I know how that is. But even a surface level review is helpful for someone at times. Worth giving a shot anyway

[I wasn't thinking]

sorry

[Echo_River]

The red security error I was getting for MR on the Chrome browser is gone - yaaay!

[Operative13]

Only took 3 months to get that fixed 

[Suuper-san]

Sometimes it be like that XD

[Coryn]

I'm glad to hear it! That dang thing has been a nuisance for Iyr traffic numbers these last few months <.<

I'm also back after a short hiatus (unplanned myself). Between a work trip to Wyoming and my phone having to be replaced, i didn't have the time or much ability to check in. I hope everything ran more or less smooth during my unintended absence 

[Suuper-san]

It's been slow but steady, welcome back

[Coryn]

Well, after years of thinking about it, I'm finally taking the leap into some sort of martial art training. Found a place that offers aikido, kenjutsu, and aikijo classes. Doing the first free session tonight.

Hoping it will take my fitness training and give it the final rounding out it feels like it's lacking. Less about intensity and more about mental direction. I'm not misguided about the idea of self defense, but as I understand it it's great for focusing the mind during exercise, which is what I really lack.

[Suuper-san]

oh how exciting
definitely sounds like something that would sharpen up the mind

I need better exercise myself, my shoes got worn out super fast since starting jogging and now I dont jog anymore. I sort of do a little bit of weights but not enough to count as exercise I think XD
