note: getting me to deliver said rant becomes substantially easier with alcohol (preferably a fun cocktail or glass of red wine)

the closest to a conspiracy i will get is IMO discord are doing this to convince governments discord shouldnt be in a social media ban

(i imagine discord consider it VERY key to have young people build social connections on discord vs (e.g) whatsapp, and they worry about not getting users back)

it's also really funny seeing UK users post about this... and not realise they already have said restrictions on their account.

*unless you try to access NSFW spaces, in which case because the verification is a tiny on device model, you just boot up death stranding

also I'm not letting Win10 off the hook. the fact you could buy Windows 10 Professional and it would have ads for candy crush on the start menu was *wild stuff*, and honestly is what first pushed me to macOS.
