I see some servers with hardly any, some with lots, the cat ears are popular. It depends on the communities you look in. Obviously the majority use Discord completely free, but there’s a significant amount of Nitro subscribers and a good portion of them are also buying things in the shop.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

People actually use the shop. they are spending $10-20 on a profile picture border. Now you are telling them that they can get them for “free”? You bet people will do it. Paid cosmetics have poisoned minds.

Yes. If they get people angry at immigrants “taking over their land” then the people ignore the real problem (the wealthy elite).

You got that right!

There’s no overpopulation in the west. Fertility rates are too low to maintain the current population.

What else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.

Can you provide a source then if it isn’t true? I am genuinely curious.

And yes, they did publish the code for their e2ee protocol.

The whole internet is the same, unless you are running all your own built software that you can vet, you are just putting faith in what a company/individual is telling you. If you want to use the internet, there’s always the inherent risk your data is being collected and sold without you knowing.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect service, I’d rather all private messages be E2E encrypted, but there’s no evidence Discord themselves have ever sold any data, so I don’t understand why we are making crazy claims when them collecting data is a privacy issue enough on it’s own.

Calls recently got encryption, so while Discord is as popular as it is, we can only hope they keep expanding encryption into other areas.

Source? The only record of data being sold I remember is some 3rd-party that scraped public servers.

Yeah, that bit is fine, but then surely Treebeard would have to go back and discuss this with the other Ents, but instead he screams and within 5s there’s an army coming out of the forest, surely they would have noticed the burning right next to them?

Yeah, I am aware unfortunately, because it just makes it worse. I see what he was trying to do though, with the play on despair and then the “hype” of the Ents joining in. It just feels sloppy every time I watch it though.

The Ent stuff is the only thing I really hate everytime I watch the films. They talk for seemingly forever about if they are to go to war or not, then Treebeard walks towards Isengard, sees the burnt forest and immediately amasses an army from the forest. It was written poorly, it would have just been better if Merry convinced them, or if that entire Ent conversation was cut and they just walked to Isengard and had that reaction.

But, yeah, good luck Canada, don’t succumb.
