There’s a thing that goes on in the discourse where it’s very easy to dismiss things that aren’t important to you. Like, if there were some debate in knitting, I could just dismiss the entire thing by saying, “knitting actually isn’t important and you should all shut up and stop knitting and we should just ban knitting so nobody ever has to hear about this.”
In fact, I could do this with like 90% of everything. And so could you. And so could everybody else.
We just wouldn’t agree on the 90%.
Recognizing this fact, and realizing that it means that you’re going to have to come up with better and more convincing arguments than, “this thing is unimportant” demonstrates a bare minimum level of maturity.

Microsoft discovered most users never use 80% of the functionality. They had the idea they could market a 20% stripped down version. When they began talking to users they quickly discovered that yes, most users only use ~20% of the functionality, but they all use a different 20%.

This is a grooming tactic called "Hugboxing", by the way
They shower the target with validation and superficial affection to lower their defenses, making it easier for them to violation boundaries later on and to isolate them from people who will actually help them, such as friends or family members who will be honest but critical with them
It's very similar to the most standard grooming strategy, "you're so special", "you're so mature for your age", "your parents don't understand you, only I understand you", but replace "I" with "we"
Men are particularly vulnerable to this tactic because we get barely any compliments from anyone our whole lives

A kidnapped teenager was finally rescued after using Among Us to get help.
The 17-year-old had been held captive for 521 days after being lured into a meeting through Snapchat when she was just 15.
Her captor gave her a phone with no mobile data, but she managed to connect to Wi-Fi and play Among Us. She used the chat to contact another player and tell them she had been kidnapped.
That player told her mother, who contacted the FBI.

You guys were literally cheering on the French riots and begging them to destroy their own government like a month ago.

I started WoW Forever normally and loved it
Then people recommended restedXP
Installed it, did 3 levels with it
It ruined my experience
Uninstalled and I am free again
I don’t play WoW to follow an arrow and to do all the little tricks
