God, I fucking hate Disqus (I post from the Disqus account I use from my laptop, or when I'm too beat down by being constantly logged out of my AVClub account).
Maybe I should switch to this full-time, but I don't want to lose all my history…

There's a difference between being willing and anything happening.
