I like how your amazing guinea pig naming skills are just taken for granted in this story.

This is the answer.

For whatever complaints one might have about Discord (and they are legion), it does a really good job of packing a bunch of different functionality in one place and with a UI that's super easy to grasp and understand what does what and how that requires very little foreknowledge of what the thing is or its underlying mechanisms.

If I am completely new and pretty blank of what it is, Discord's pretty good at me being able to catch up quickly; it's got a good UI and, following that, functionality for a bunch of things related to communication. And, if I need a quick solution that just gets me going…that's gonna be pretty painless.

Yeah; of course. Ze's referencing supporting Palestine (as the watermelon became more widely recognized as a symbol for them due to recent events).

For a second, I read your fruit predilection literally and was like, "Is…watermelon controversial, now? Are they [the people who banned you] cartoonishly racist?"

I follow you, now; sucks but expected…

There's a reason MLK called us the “most racist city in America“!

😞…

That's self segregation not mandated segregation.

Lynching was often not mandated segregation, as well; 🙄. This is the problem when you don't listen to the lived experiences of and lessons learned by marginalized people.

I want to buy everything from this but also get the impression that my financial information would immediately suffer identity theft.

The first time I read your comment, I thought you said it won't be fixed through primaries and was genuinely flummoxed as to what you thought primaries were for.

Having read what you actually wrote – now –, the world is much more coherent.

Haha; l was wondering the same thing. I'm still on my original card so I'm just opting to, hopefully, never find out.

I looked it up, recently; supposedly only 3 replacement requests in a year and only allowed 10 in your entire lifetime.

The husband's from there; great state! Though I love all the Midwest, honestly.
