session issues should be resolved now (for real this time) (self.text)

got rid of server side sessions entirely.

not an ideal solution by any means, but i got tired of trying to hunt down a bug caused by some obscure race condition

this wasn't just a bug with flask-session either, there are even github issues concerning flask-kvsession with the IDENTICAL issue to what was happening here

so you know what? fuck it. back to client side sessions, the ONLY reason they were being used before is captcha anyway. captchas are irrelevant anyway if the site is dead from random users being assigned the sessions of other users.

if server-side sessions are truly needed again i'll just write my own damn session implementation.

it REALLY shouldn't be this fucking complicated to store a key value pair in reids based on a uuid

i've spent way too much fucking time trying to hunt down this fucking bug, all to preserve server-side sessions which were used only for captchas. fuck.
