Why is it that since the site downtime this weekend, I have to sign in again every once and a while? Even when I choose to be kept being signed in.
"Let us dwell a moment on this symptom of highest culture—I call it the pessimism of strength. [...]
In such a state it is precisely the good that needs 'justifying,' i.e., it must be founded in evil and danger or involve some great stupidity: then it still pleases. [...] If he [man] in praxi advocates the preservation of virtue, he does it for reasons that recognize in virtue a subtlety, a cunning, a form of lust for gain and power.
This pessimism of strength also ends in a theodicy, i.e., in an absolute affirmation of the world—but for the very reasons that formerly led one to deny it—and in this fashion to a conception of this world as the actually-achieved highest possible ideal."

Probably admin has changed session setting.
Keeping the session can cost server resource (disk space and a bit of CPU time, I guess).
It's more or less common to let the session expire, and then clean the session data, periodically.

Please put me in your ignore list if you don't like what I write. I don't mind it at all
Since it's not my intention to increase the suffering of others, please don't read my posts if you don't like them.
I do think existence, awareness, material, beings, and humans including you and me to be insane and stupid for structural reasons and from observable behaviors.
I don't think most humans have the preference for logical honesty/integrity that would make us to think in reasonable manner.
I don't think most of us have enough emotional stability to face simple anxiety and fear including existential anxiety.
And I like to think and dig things many of us don't really want to see.
Combination of these may make some of you uncomfortable, irritated, and turn into emotional, irrational, and even fanatic mental state.
So, please ignore my posts if you don't like them or if they make you feel uneasy.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dude I was looking at my screen and all I saw was "Cookies?". Then I read the post and was very disappointed. I really wanted a cookie. Thanks for nothing.

Are you checking the "remember me" box? I get kicked out when that's not checked, but if I'm being remembered the session can expire without me having to log back in.
If it's not the remember me box, is anyone else having trouble with this?

If you mean the "Log me on automatically each visit" box: that's not it.
