This.
My life currently is already stressful enough without worrying about the social impact of this. I’m not defending what they’re having/choosing to do, but fearmongering isn’t helping.
It’s also why I chose to put out a post of my own yesterday. I hope it eased at least one person’s mind.

Don't really want to talk about Discord, enough going around
Instead I just want to remind you
You have friends who only have close online connections. Please be considerate. Do not scare the hell out of them right now that they'll be abandoned.
Talk of going scorched earth scares many people

They rolled this out in the UK last year, and for me nothing has changed. In all the servers I’ve been in Discord has never once asked to verify my ID.
Now your experience may change if you’re in adult content servers, but whatever you decide to do, be careful out there friends. 🙂↕️

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

First and last movie you've ever watched in theaters.
There's a chance I might have been taken to see a different movie first, but I was a little under 3 when I went to see Tarzan and it's an experience I vividly remember given how it was quite literally baby's first hyperfixation

Wrote a 5 page essay in an hour yesterday, and I think I'm starting to get back into the feel of academic writing. Writing essays and analysis have always been strengths of mine and where I excelled, but after having been out of school for 8 years I was really rusty and struggling at first.

A sheltered sword for hire with a goddess tulpa is forced to become a teacher at a military academy which literally shapes the outcome of a civil war five years later.
So this plumber eats mushrooms to fight evil turtles to rescue a princess.

People lament about the death of the Nintendo cult classic from gamecube -wii era but thing is. Games like that still exist. Yall jusr ignore them
It’s annoying to post a list of fun games for a system and have someone comment there’s no “system sellers” in the list. So what? System sellers are great but there is fun to be had in games that may score in the average range, or sometimes even worse, as well.

I'm not a big fan of the "X character is good and Y character is evil" thing in 3H discussion because I think the setting is designed (well!) in a way that makes it so there is no one-stop easy solution to its problems and thus no flatly universal "good guy" that solves everything.

21. Related but internet in general has a huge generalization problem where people assume a community is all bad because of a few bad apples. Most of time a majority of community either isnt bad or isnt bad all the time and people just focus on the loud minoritu.
