All of those comments and posts will remain on instances they have federated to. Transferring posting history would necessitate resubmitting every single post you've ever made, needlessly and messily duplicating one user's presence across the fediverse. And in the case of a closing instance, that bulk is multiplied several hundred or thousand times over. Not a reasonable request by any stretch.
Trying to lecture me when you have no idea how instance blocking works is pretty on brand.
One of my only gripes with the instance was it's refusal to defederate yours, and y'all over here celebrating the closure after the admins took that stance really just affirms how wrong that decision was.
Looking forward to moving to an instance that is free from your shittiness. 👋
Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?
Ah yes, the halceon days of non-stop pop-up ads and malware taskbars. /s
Not to mention that everything they mentioned was absolutely started to become what it is today. Nothing changed, they just progressed their plans over 20 years. Pretending it was all started with benevolent intentions is naive at best.
Get Out (2017)
That's nice to hear. Alan Wake 2 was a great game and gorgeous, but even after upgrading my gpu, it was a pain trying to get it to run even sort of smoothly. A bit over ambitous, methinks.
Control, otoh, ran great when it came out and still runs great, all while looking great as well. Going back to whatever strategy worked their seems like a good idea.
I managed to avoid any news or leaks, so the regeneration was a shock to me. Pretty sad to see. I was looking forward to another season of more Ncuti.
The episode itself was...fine. Not a huge fan of full on laser gun fights in the show, particularly in the hands of The Doctor, so that was a bit off putting. That said, Poppy was cute af, and it was great to see Jodi again. The lines just before she left were super sweet. And even though I was saddened by the surprise of it, it felt like a proper goodbye for 15, which was nice. Curious to see what happens now. It feels unlikely to me that Billie will be The Doctor, but I don't think I'd hate it if that's the route they take.
Now I just have to forget the show exists as it takes one of its typical, interminably long hiatuses.
You already answered your own question, bud.
it doesn't make sense TO ME. Based on what I was taught
Why do you think other people are different than you?
The real answer is "He's a narcissist". This is just parroting his handler's bullshit damage control.
Played the demo for this ages ago and have been waiting for a full release. Not sure how it's changed over the years, but it was an interesting demo at the time.

I just finished up a rewatch of Dimension 20's Neverafter (highly recommended if you haven't watched it) and as the various iconic story tellers were introduced, the question above came up in my mind.
To clarify, by fables/fairy tales I would mean widely known tales told primarily to children to pass on positive ideals and morals. Not just entertainment, but at least partially education as well. I also think it should be quite well known to count - it should at least be considered common knowledge in the region it's from. As for "modern", let's say the last 100 years or so? Though anything post-Grimm may be interesting.
Personally, I've struggled trying to think of anything particularly satisfying. Dr. Seuss feels like it's just about that iconic, though that's pretty old itself at this point. Is there anything Internet based that my out-of-touch brain is overlooking?
*Further thoughts:
Thinking on it more, other comments have helped me realize that, at least for me, the crux of the issue is that for the last 100 years or so, pretty much all stories have been commercial endeavors. Perfected drafts copywritten by companies and "protected" from the grubby hands of society. Basically the antithesis of a folk-tale, which is passed on and told and retold, shifting and morphing each time.
Thankfully, in the last few decades the internet has made less centralized media a thing again. And, though not strictly kid-friendly, I unironically am thinking that internet memes are the contemporary form of folk-tales, or at least the closest thing we've got. And I don't mean just "funny pictures", but the actual definition of meme - "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads through imitation within a culture." Perhaps that's the progenitor of the next generation of "fairy tales"?

No one's saying you should...
