Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Yep
What they said. Non-existence sounds like the most peace I could ever ask for.
You weren't alive before you were born. My assumption is it will be no different after we are dead.
I didn't experience that time at all, but I know what you mean. I just mean I want to experience peace - like feel it with a consciousness. I want to watch a movie with my cats and be at peace mentally.
No, we weren't dead for 13.6 billion years, because we didn't exist. Death is the end of a life, and without life, we can't die.
Conscious state of peace is just not going to last. Needs arise, diseases are out there to get you, etc. You're basically programmed to seek peace by evolution through the process of natural selection. That's why you want it that bad, because striving to acquire peace keeps your organism alive for long enough to procreate and continue this silly dna replication until life goes ultimately extinct.
I understand what you mean completely. I want to remember what it was like to be at peace. The small joys in life. What it's like not to suffer.
This is true!
It has happened to me many times and I think those are the reasons for my frequent deja-vus
When you die and there's nothing than you never even existed in the first place, your memory of you is gone. From your perspective you were never there to exist.
It's a trap. We are DNA vehicles. We are here to serve our DNA and it's need for running its program.
Whoa! I never even thought about this. That would be such a wild possibility! I wonder if that "me" is in a better place? And that being said, what if "being in a better place" means being in an alternate dimension?
That would make sense and I wouldn't find the universe so absurd.
There are certain ways to kill the cognition while relaining alive - repetitive cycles of high-intensity ECT for example, however it won't let you find "the peace you had before your injury".
Has it been proven that you won't find the same peace before your injury with ECT?
I want it because peace of mind used to motivate me to become something and do something with my life. I wanted to have meaning in my life, and yeah also procreate but that's incredibly unlikely now. I could handle diseases in later life if I had accomplished something and had a family of my own. Or I like to believe that.
Too good to be true? That's a scary thought, kinda relying on an upcoming rest for my sanity
What about the quote in bhagvad Gita, when the deity put forward the reality of reincarnation saying "never was there a time when I wasn't here, or you weren't here, nor all the others weren't here"
