There are people around here that would try to hit it on purpose, :-(

Two that really stick out:

1. Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he's starting to fade.

2. Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in "this" game where she's alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel's phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out "Oh FUCK YOU!" It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.

Yeah my whole export was only like 3MB of CSV files, so I'm guessing that any media you upload just gets dumped into a giant bucket with everybody else's stuff and then referenced by your post or whatever. Kinda makes you wonder if that stuff gets deleted if you delete your account.

I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven't been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn't include the correct "flair" or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that's about it.

It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.

He's impulsive and doesn't know when to shut up. I got the distinct impression that, initially, he was absolutely not serious about buying Twitter. It was a joke/jest. BUT, because his antics affected their stock price he actually got forced into the purchase and now he's desperately trying to figure out how to make the purchase worth what he actually paid, which is fine and all, except he seems to be leading by impulse, not by consensus or logic. He wakes up in the morning, has some random ass idea and implements it without any oversight. Even his new CEO straight up admitted that she is basically a straw man CEO who will offer no friction to anything Elon wants to do.

Oh wow I didn't know that. Neofetch has been such a mainstay that it never occurred to me to check on its development status. Fastfetch isn't in the Debian repos even for Bookworm, but they've got debs and such for it right there on their page so that's cool, though I'm not particularly fond of installing debs from third parties if I can help it.

I filed a request for my Reddit data a week ago, so that I could save my account in its current state, before deleting it, and still haven't received the notification that it's ready. This process should be automated and not require human intervention, so I'm not sure why it's taking so long.

I wonder if they realize that, according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, the amount of heat and energy they consume and put into the world in order to produce those ice blocks, actually exceeds the amount they're removing. So making ice blocks might help in the short term, but in the long term, they might actually make it worse, if not for the arctic, than for other places on the planet. Unless they're doing other stuff like planting trees, the best they could ever hope for is to simply break even; to cancel themselves out.

They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.

On one hand, what he's "saying" isn't wrong, at a fundamental level. A corporation should have to follow the same laws as everybody else. That said, it's kinda obvious that Disney has had no major issues arise from their special status in Florida, and the only reason he's going after them isn't because he wants to level the playing field, it's because they had the guts to stand up to him and his hateful policies, so he's trying to be seen as "tough" on big corporations to bolster his chances in the presidential election.

Exactly. If people want this protest to be taken seriously, they shouldn't have pre-emptively announced it would only be 48 hours long. 48 hours is nothing to worry about when you know it's coming. Like you said, they'll just blame the lack of engagement on server issues.
