It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

People have been saying I cant go to japan and beat a sumo wrestler in a sumo match, and they link examples of people trying and failing.
The problem is that all those people thought they could win, which is a rookie mistake.
Not me though. I'm actually going to win.

Make sure to make a support account that ISNT tied to your Discord email and identity to leave these comments.
I dunno if Discord has ever done reprisal for resisting their bullshit but - for incredibly obvious reasons - I would not trust them.

I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact
I would try submitting a complaint through there.

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.

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

It's basically this. You just gotta say you *did enough*. But it's so funny how like bsky blocks DMs, but Discord doesn't because they see it as a critical feature like it doesn't matter, they just have to give up SOMETHING to pretend they're doing something. We're sacrificing effigies at the alter.
All this security theatre is just playing pretend so insurance agencies will be able to say "the company did everything they could". Like with the airport stuff, there is not a single person on Earth that believes 3.5 ounces of mouthwash is a threat, but we all mutually agree to play this game.

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.
29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.
Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
