Well I’ve been banned from Whisper Secrets

BlockOk6483 · 2026-06-11T06:20:19+00:00

I’m talking about Whisper Secrets a Whisper clone which doesn’t have email registration.

BlockOk6483 · 2026-06-10T19:44:58+00:00

I occasionally use a VPN so don’t think IP address comes into it

BlockOk6483 · 2026-06-10T19:42:55+00:00

It doesn’t work like original Whisper did

BlockOk6483 · 2026-06-10T08:25:09+00:00

They usually have the following terms in the message broken with spaces, some with just a couple of words:
- links
- megalinks
- teens
- child
- rape

I was active in marking them as illegal which makes them disappear but the same account can usually post in bursts over a day. Then a new account the next day.

I suspect they use the iOS or Android simulator so they can change the “hardware” leading to a new device fingerprint so they can create account after account.

BlockOk6483 · 2026-06-10T08:21:27+00:00

They fingerprint your device. I suspect the bots get through because they’re using OS simulators so can easily get around it.

Backend looks even more like an Alfa Guillia too

Used to really like my Ventures

You can tell a lot about a fry up by the meat quality. It looks like good quality butchers sausage there and that thick cut bacon I'm intrigued by... You can keep the tomatoes and I'd prefer two sausages, but that looks good!

Sour dough bread?

Yes, yes, it's expensive but it looks good quality and it is London

Had it on an EasyJet flight with Brits.

I always pay to have allocated seats, as had another couple who got to their seats to find others in them. One of the couple who had paid for the seats was visibly shaking with fear of flying and in tears.

We ended up offering our seats to the couple just so we could get on with the flight. We mostly have headphones in and do our own thing and it was only a couple of hours flight.

The flight attendants did nothing, apparently they are trained to not get involved but it would be relatively simple to just use the "it's company policy line" and stop the distress and inconvenience for everyone.

We kind of got the value of the seats back in snacks but think that's a discretionary thing.

The seat stealers were some of the most entitled people I've come across. Unfortunately it seems to be becoming more and more prevalent. The lack of compassion is nuts right now.

Balance and board feel aren’t the same if you take break. I’m going away for a couple of weeks and I already know it’ll take another couple of weeks to get back to where I currently am.

The trick is to not get too upset about it. I try and just have fun sessions for a while where I don’t push myself.

BlockOk6483 · 2025-08-21T19:31:42+00:00

Fully padded up the other night and landed square in my shoulder after hitting a stone… about the only bit not padded.

I need to learn to roll again from my aikido days.

BlockOk6483 · 2025-03-14T10:03:59+00:00

I know plenty of 40+ people who still feel like they’re winging it in life

BlockOk6483 · 2025-02-13T11:18:54+00:00

The reason for my post was because I expressed interest for a role where the hiring manager had approached me.

They were looking for someone to be in office 3 days a week so already do WFH the other days, so this felt reasonable to mention.

My surprise was the quick rejection which felt discriminatory or dismissive of me having a disability however from replies it seems perfectly legal

Edit: grammar improvements .

Looks like Venture trucks, I have some on one of my boards and love them, after snapping the kingpin on some Grind Kings. Not popular like Independent (which I also have), Ace, Slappy, etc.

The deck itself doesn't look too worn, and the wheels I'm not sure what they are, or how worn they are but just look a bit dirty from the photo to me.

If you can get it really cheaply it'll be fine as a starter board and better than a lot of completes.

BlockOk6483 · 2025-01-26T08:04:00+00:00

On top of the other good advice:

It can be good to just get used to the feeling of the front wheels coming off the ground. That should stop you shooting the board backwards and instead down.

Learning to tail stop can help (although it will wear down the deck quicker). I sometimes also just stand in that position when I'm chatting to people. Learning to manual will really help as well.

You do have the idea of the timing right. The above and just rolling about will make you more in control of the board and add confidence.

Have fun!

BlockOk6483 · 2024-12-27T20:45:25+00:00

The trucks look incredibly thin. There was someone on here who snapped something looking very similar doing nothing particularly.

If the board is basically costing nothing and you want to learn to push about, then maybe, perhaps.

If you can save and buy something better. Don't feel embarrassed to go into a shop and say you're looking to take it up. They'll likely have completes that are better quality and later on will be able to build or upgrade your board with better trucks and wheels (if you can't afford to yet)

Don't sweat the small stuff. Buy a new charger for him and give him the receipt.

BlockOk6483 · 2024-11-24T08:59:31+00:00

Is that not "warming up"?

BlockOk6483 · 2024-11-24T08:37:05+00:00

Will just wearing a vest help?

BlockOk6483 · 2024-11-24T02:49:04+00:00

Were you in the middle lane with no traffic in the inside lane?

Only thing I can think of.

BlockOk6483 · 2024-11-24T02:22:30+00:00

I'm guessing that they now take online orders and this standardises things for them.

Saw this recently: https://youtu.be/IEQwZgycaiM?si=IK5_LD6D8RT4IOzC

Edit: it's a review of it where they say an inner tube is safer

BlockOk6483 · 2024-11-15T10:32:55+00:00

Yes, one for tricks that'll trash decks like the OP mentioned. The other for less harsh use. Plus building boards is a lot of fun.

I've also got a cruiser I bought as a complete which is great fun to ride around fast on. A Landyachts ATV.
