With my wife spending most of her time with her parents watching the World Cup, I spent the day powering through Miami, and I did it. Every challenge that hadn’t been completed since H2-H3 migration, every secret exit performed, every escalation, all done in one day. I expected it to take a week, and honestly, Miami was the one I was most dreading to deal with because of its complicated nature. I’m on a damn roll!

I’ve never heard of grape leather before. apparently it’s the most promising of all the faux leathers. They make jackets and purses out of it too. I’ll give it a try.

Its a Girl 
God blessed us a baby girl today morning (our first child arrived 18 days before expected, eagerly to meet her parents).
Now at the maternity ward. Mother and Baby are doing good. Baby’s eyes are of mother and she got my nose 
It is an amazing feeling - I am happy as father-daughter relation is very strong.

Congratulations, man! I don’t know what that feeling is like and sadly am unlikely ever to, so however it feels, I hope anyone who can experience it does so to the fullest, and I hope you hold onto it. Hope she’s healthy and that you can raise her well.

You guys know those hero wars ads? The one for that app game where whoever’s playing in the ad blatantly throws about 15-20 seconds in and fails a simple puzzle to make the game seem challenging and interesting or whatever? Well, I always like to watch until that moment just to see how much (or little) time it takes this time but it never happened in this one! The player FINALLY learned basic math! Anyway, I was genuinely stunned and wanted to share that with all of you.

Turns out I already had more challenges completed in Mumbai than I thought. All I have to do is electrocute all 3 targets and then do the six escalations and on to Whittleton Creek. The speed at which I’m catching up is almost embarrassing, and I’m kicking myself for not getting all this out of the way much sooner.

I don’t care how simplified you make it, you will never for as long as I live convince me to use hellhole dot com.

but you did use it already, for quite a long time aswell. to the point where you were in a moderative function in several servers
(also ironic calling discord hellhole.com while being on twitter)

I don’t use it anymore. Earlier this year I announced my departure with the site detailing my grievances. As for Twitter I only use it to like posts I like on my recommended feed, never use it for personal gain or following anyone.
But as for throughout my experience, I’ve never faced more problems from any other site than Discord. People always like to point to places like Twitter, 4chan and Kiwifarms as this myopic hivemind. None of these sites come close to what I’ve seen on Discord. Barely do I see anyone once mention it.
I can understand that having contact with friends on Discord is equitable for the nature of the site; as a matter of fact, I encourage it. But I don’t believe it is designed for cosy intimate dwelling for engagement. People are just so set in their ways to make themselves the centre of attention that discourse becomes an afterthought. It is no longer fulfilling to me.
There is no greater fear to me than self-loathing peer groups talking about users behind their back, and no lesser fear than to remove yourself from harm entirely. And that was my entire point of my earlier post. The users loathe anyone unfortunate within their path. Your existence and safety is expendable.
Every time I tried to use the site I had faced problem after problem. I tried to my best ability to amend any problem I faced with little to no avail. Every time I enforced a rule, someone would complain about it to me. Every time I didn’t people tried finding pedantic excuses to back up an irrelevant claim. When a troll raided CJ’s stream, he accused me of it. When I was appointed to moderate Frote’s server, some scumbag immediately accused me of being racist. IOI’s mods kept making up stories about me that don’t exist. And during the fray of all of this, this overwhelmingly dawned on me with bitter hindrance to the point I left both Discord and Twitter and never returned.
So when all of a sudden my Xbox that I primarily use to play video games on is advertising a site I don’t use anymore on top of Twitter recommending this post to show on my feed, I am going to have my say about it. Using the word “simplified” is such a wrong word used by Discord, because it couldn’t be that far removed for how appallingly archaic this site allowed their userbase to act as belligerent as possible with no repercussions.
The result ended in a symbiotic relationship - I didn’t need them, and they didn’t need me. Since I left my quality of life, outlook on life, financial struggle and other brevity attributes has significantly stabilised. And I didn’t require anyone to make that decision for myself.
People who openly condemn, harass and speak on behalf of others are a real departure from reality and should probably consider taking a hike.

Those are some pretty serious claims especially considering two ioi mods also modorate the forum (cake & urben ), do you have any evidence to back this claim up?
Please continue with this particular topic in DMs and then get an idea about it there. I don’t think this is beneficial to anyone or the forum here if that can was opened in public. Just so far I have an opposite picture about this.
Regarding Discord, I recently learned of very nice servers where mental health and safety is a top priority. So I guess it all goes down to where you are there. Just as every social media has sub communities where people are just nice to each other.

kiwifarms was far beyond a “myopic hive mind”.
