Different people have different ways of trying to appear non-threatening. If I am ever behind a woman, I just start running behind them in a friendly chase fashion just to break the ice and make them realize that I am just a goofy harmless guy. Usually, they play along and run as well.

I tried old.reddit.com as well. I think it used to work but it no longer does.

How do you even access Reddit from Tor? I always see the message saying that my attempt was blocked by “Network Security”.
