tor command changed behavior

pl flag

i'm using ubuntu 20.04. i'm using the tor command for quiet some time now. when i run it, i get:

$tor

now, usually it would start connecting to the tor network, and you'll see the percentage rising (from the 0% at starting up to 100%). but, in the last few days it gets stuck like this, and nothing happen on the command line - though if you'll check you'll see that tor actually got raised (of course, it was down before)

any idea what happend?

UPDATED:

now i found out something: when it is stuck like above - and then on other terminal i run torsocks or torify command - then suddenly the bootstrapping process continue and finishes.

any idea why the delay?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
