Keep cancelling your Nitro and don't give Discord a single penny.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

So tired of "Complaincency".
People will say they dislike a change in a service, they'll complain to the company making awful decisions, but then they'll keep giving them money anyway.
Companies don't listen to retweets, they listen to cancelled subscriptions and lowered quarterly profits.

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.

The release on Saturday, August 10th appears to have two differences. The date, and the addition of “of an apparent suicide” www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr...

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

The goat layout for Tony hawk games
stoppable force (gamecube controller) vs immovable object (games where you might need to do two or more actions a lot instead of just one)
Anyone else hate the diamond shape button standard?
GameCube layout is more efficient! Diamond you only have two buttons accessible at a time, but GC your thumb is ALWAYS on the most used button, and can go to all others in one motion
Hate that the standard was based on looks and not function

This reminds me a little of Mel Brooks dealing with studio notes.
![From the New Yorker (2021): You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at thestudios.
I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on“The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” Hewanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” Inever did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head ofWarner Bros. threw me into the manager’s offi ce, gave me a legal pad and a pencil,and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” froma daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “Nofarting.” I said, “It’s out.”
That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the
campfire scene
.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I keptsaying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all hisnotes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running[production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end ofit. You say yes, and you never do it.
