I'm laughing at YouTube's response. I thought that was clear by context.. I guess people who didn't read the article didn't get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?

Or why are you telling me to STFU?

I'm laughing at ~~their~~ YouTube's response. Obviously someone used a thesaurus to write it and didn't know that "incalcitrant" is not even the word, no major dictionaries list it. It's like using irregardless instead of regardless The word ~~they~~ YouTube wanted is recalcitrant.

And it's very telling that ~~they~~ YouTube used that word because it shows they think they are King.

Recalicitrant:

Stubbornly resistant to authority or control.

Unwilling to obey orders or to do what should be done.

Resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant.

Edit: I'm laughing at YouTube's response. I thought that was clear by context.. I guess people who didn't read the article didn't get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?

Words matter, and by using the one they did, YouTube is basically saying that they demand people obey them.

If anyone is unsure-- look the senator up, he's a Democrat.

Account sharing is against GGG's ToS, so Elon should be banned. He probably RMTed it though (still against ToS). He would be fucked during a race though.

In PoE 1: racers stream their entire race. Once a league Zizaran hosts the Gauntlet (HC/SSF) race event, streaming on Twitch (often with a 4-panel split screen). They sub out different races to highlight boss fights and whatnot. You have to provide proof of any "bounty" you won. There are some cash money prizes, so this is all very strict.

During these races, players often have a timer showing how long they've been going, and it's not unusual to see 37 hours of straight streaming the first day. GGG hosts World Firsts events after XPac stuff, and is mindful of exploits.

That is all PoE 1. PoE 2 is in early access; it's the same people, so it should be the same integrity. I know a lot of Diablo folks came over for it, so I can't speak for them.

Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It's seriously fucked up.

Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.

Bow tie, but lower on the neck. Very dapper :)

(Also, in the future maybe post identical bodies/relation to background. There might be some subconscious preference occurring based on subject's proximity to viewer or foot appearance.)

I turfed FB in 2015 as well (didn't bother with the other stuff).

But now I'm worried I deactivated it and didn't delete.... I cannot remember.

If it's just deactivated-- I wonder if it's better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It's been dead a decade.

What do people suggest?

I love the way this is written, thanks.
