sped up Moon footage looks like slapstick comedy

GOG can get fucked if they think that half-assed "sorry you were offended" tweet is even remotely acceptable. Pirate their fucking games. Honestly. Don't give them a cent until they properly apologize for their transphobia and fire their media person. Trans erasure isn't a fucking joke

"i want to be frank with you"

If Facebook buys a security company, how will it retain the staff who absolutely hate Facebook

So... people are mad at #discord now too... not at the US judicial system or the way capitalism shapes and enforces the current way that system works... just Discord...

Discord are being big ol' meanies for doing the thing their partners probably are demanding they do to protect themselves.. all according to the current laws in the US.

But sure, I would recommend people to switch over to #matrix... but we have to recognize that most people are to stressed to be that ideological.

Here's an email template. Feel free to use/edit:

Hello,

I am hereby opting out of the Dispute Resolution section of Discord's Terms as stated in the Opt-out clause.

If any other information is required to secure my legal rights against Discord's Dispute Resolution terms, please inform me promptly such that I might resolve this before the window closes. A response, automated or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you.

Sincerely,

With the release of their game store, Discord has updated their Terms, effective 23 October, 2018, to now include a forced-arbitration clause.
We have 30-days to opt out, per their terms.

Opt-out by emailing "arbitration-opt-out@discord.com". More information can be found:

Just realizing that Cthulhu & its ilk in RPGs have the easiest time dealing with players who can't make a given session: The GM pretends there's never been any such character.

Gaslight the whole team. They may remember embarking with Dr. Honeycarp but that's impossible, there's no such person, okay let's go.

Bonus points to:
) Any player willing to also say they don't remember the missing character
) Any player who remains suspicious of the reality of the returning char. when they come back

Easily one of my least favourite things that's very common is take scattered/lack of info and use it to make sweeping assumptions about people's lives

Recent gems alluded to:
Mention going out or enjoying something? Must be mentally/physically well
Don't mention husband much? Must not be happy
Married to a man? Must be straight
Doesn't talk about own gender much? Must be cis
Shares photos a lot? Must be confident
Disabled? Must want to get 'better'

An important inspirational message I look to in hard times.
