If you find Discord's Haloween sounds as obnoxious as I do...

Personally, I'm not going to tell you as a player what you should or shouldn't be doing. If I know that you're doing a thing badly or sub-optimally, I'm not going to say a word unless you ask. Otherwise, my first instinct is to mitigate your impact as if your PC isn't mechanically important. #TTRPG

One of the reasons I don't regularly queue up with PUGs in MMOs comes down to a core principle of not vibing with people who frequently give unsolicited advice to other players. If you can heal better, why aren't YOU healing?

It happens in #TTRPG tables as much as it does in MMOS. Maybe more.

Oh boy, Discord is doing the intrusive Halloween sounds thing again.

I start with 2 questions:
1) What story do I want to tell?
2) Can the players meaningfully interact with this

You'd be surprised at how many GMs, even "veteran" ones, will just completely ignore the 2nd in service of the 1st. #TTRPG

Spent the day cleaning out my sister's storage unit.

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.

Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

This criticism rings rather hollow from someone with a room temperature IQ.
But I'm sure your tens of views for the video no one will watch will soothe that undeserved ego. :)

So far they support generative AI because:
- "I don't understand the environmental impact of cooling systems"
- "you have too many followers"
- "you're a white woman"

What a wild hill to die on. πŸ˜…

Receipts have citations.
But you knew that. 🀷

You valuing honesty is probably the must performative thing you've regurgitated in the last three hours. 🀣

You didn't provide receipts. You gave assertions. The fact that you don't know the difference isn't surprising though. That's the nature of building a position on a garbage foundation.
You'll find that brain you['re searching for one day, dear scarecrow.

Clearly being a simp for generative AI isn't working out you either. I guess that's why you're upset. You can just say that.

You said it when you decided that your behavior was warranted because of your low follower count, as if being a shitty person with a shoestring argument is somehow sacrosanct is fewer people are watching.

So you don't know how science OR words work. If a negative opinion and criticism constitutes harassment to you, that's an emotional instability that you should probably address with a professional.
Good luck with that. I invoice for that sort of thing.

Your self-worth being tied to your follower count is 100% a you problem.

That's not how any of this works. You're too old not to understand that you're not owed debate when your argument has no merit.
But I'm glad you're finally admitted that this is just a clout-chasing performance for you. You should have just said that from the beginning.

That's not what's happening, but that's also why social media isn't therapy.

You didn't prove her wrong; you were loud and wrong with confidence for personal validation. That emotional instability is your cross to bear and has nothing to do with the "smaller creator" you're using to cosplay enlightenment.

Only that's not true because the numbers have never been that static and your argument requires leaving out every variable involved.
Don't worry; we all know why you wouldn't mention them. πŸ‘

So you can suggest what other people shouldn't do, but no one else can? You really didn't think this through did you? πŸ€”

I keep wondering how long it'll take before you catch that your whole position is the same kind of emotional manipulation and logical fallacy you're accusing other people of. Glass houses, etc. 🀣

This is only true if you can't read, which is a brave thing to put out there in 2025.

Nothing has saved me more aggravation than not talking when people stop listening. Too many people ask for advice or feedback or "honest opinions" when that's not what they actually want.
