Might be something amiss with the website - when I complete the form, the next screen says “There has been a critical error on this website”

This is literally an old Soviet joke www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comm...
A Reddit post that reads: Joseph Stalin Is Bored To amuse himself he has a great idea. He decides to disguise himself and circulate amongst his people and find out what they really think of him. He organises a job at the local factory and starts work there. He starts chatting with one of the workers, and they agree to eat their lunch in the yard together. After talking for a while Stalin asks the worker, "what do you think of Stalin?". The worker becomes very paranoid and starts looking around. He says in a hushed tone, "we can't talk about that here, it's not safe". Stalin agrees to meet him after work. When they meet up after work Stalin asks him again, "what do you think of Stalin?". "Jesus, we can't talk here about something so dangerous, people might hear" says the worker. Stalin says they should go for a walk. After walking for an hour they find themselves alone, standing in a field with nobody else in sight. "I think we're pretty safe here, what do you think of Stalin?" says Stalin. The worker looks around intently, leans in and says in a whispering voice. "I kinda like him".

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
A Microsoft Windows pop-up with the header “Torment Nexus”. The pop-up has a red X and an OK button, and its text reads: “For legal reasons the Torment Nexus will not be made available to our valued customers in the European Union. We apologise for the inconvenience.”

Still fondly recall this very specific plea that I found in my junk mail. Obvs, I responded to ask what kind of a CAR; with unlikely restraint he asked for "A small CAR, preferably Honda", but unfortunately I didn't have one on hand at the time
Spam email that reads: Dear Sir, I am recovering from high pressure air injected into my nose through a mobile phone. I was knocked down from my scooter. I was beaten on my neck and face. Please sent 1000 trillion pounds donation and a CAR. Joby Manuel Mr. Joby Manuel

Michael Gambon, that’s such a sad one. Saw him in Beckett’s “Eh Joe” at the Gate years ago - one of the most amazing pieces of theatre I’ve ever seen.
