Once Discord inevitably goes the way of Reddit and Twitter, untold amounts of data and information will be lost to the aether.

I'm certain it will eventually destroy large swathes of modding communities, with most of the work lost.

It's a really dumb shitpost and we should honestly start deleting it.

Western society really giving that "at the brink of collapse" vibe lately. Despair is at an all-time high across the entire political spectrum for a multitude of reasons.

New hope just dropped:

Second pandemic distracts the West enough to pull out of their wars.

Ultimately, the sentiment isn't completely wrong. Using a different browser isn't going to save you from being tracked. Using one or multiple browser extensions isn't going to save you from being tracked. Using a VPN isn't even going to save you from being tracked.

Accounts are pretty much required to use most sites, and many also require connecting a phone number or other personal details. Privacy is actively discouraged, and attempting to pursue it leaves you with many hardships -- by design I would argue. You buy a product on one site, with no prior search history about it, and suddenly you start getting emails from unrelated sites about similar products. In capitalism, any information about your habits and interests also becomes a commodity. Why shouldn't people dismiss privacy in favor of convenience, in such a system? It seems futile to even try.

And if your government is determined to figure out who you are online, then it will. Don't make the mistake of thinking they don't know what you've been up to, here or otherwise.

I'm not changing any story. If you go back to the start of the discussion then you'll see that it's the same thing I keep trying to explain to you over and over throughout this thread.

Yeah reading through this thread I'm getting very strong contrarian debatebro vibes from _pi. Constantly deflecting the topic of discussion and going on irrelevant tangents.

I wouldn't engage any further, this is just a waste of time.

I fucking hope Biden is right considering what the alternative is.

At no point in the last 3 years of conflicts and wars have the neoliberals ever needed evidence to back up their claims. Their words are axioms, objective truths from the mouth of god, and you are a heathen for even daring to question them. Of course the same would apply to an election.

GRAPHS AND DATA DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS

Yeah well up until Russia stops being sane, like the gerontocratic West has. For example, by assassinating Putin and having someone far more extreme take power.

I don't think we're getting out of this one. This is the end of the line.

This clock is meaningless drivel.

We're really at 2 seconds before midnight if this was updated regularly and accurately.

Yes, and I'm tired of pretending we're not.

Russia could also end all this by nuking every last millimeter of Europe and eradicating all life on Earth, just like you've always wanted, genocider.

All I'm seeing is Loki posts

God-King Trump.

Where are the 300 Libspartans to face off against him?

I have to put my trust entirely on Putin and the Russian ruling class to not escalate this to a nuclear war, huh

Why shouldn't I wish death on all NATO supporters at this point?

Well yeah, it's shitlib mecca. That's exactly what Twitter was before the Musk takeover, to a lesser degree.

Most people in the West seem to be woefully unaware of these developments. There's hardly been any articles about Ukraine at all since Ugledar fell.

I'm expecting this game to be chock-full of Anti-Russia seething honestly.

Going to age like rotten milk.

I got a better plan:

First you fire all works with an odd SSN

Then you fire all workers with an even SSN

Boom, instant 100% reduction in cost, you can thank me later
