#Elmo is going to demand a selfie and a copy of your ID and an Israeli company will be handling the data. I can't possibly stress enough how strenuously you must refuse to do this...if you still for some ungodly reason wanted to remain on Shitter but this means leaving, LEAVE.

Update: Article doesn't state it's for blue checks only but that may be the case. If so, it could eventually expand. I still say "leave!" because it's a cesspool. https://www.pcmag.com/news/verifying-your-identity-on-twitter-will-require-taking-a-selfie

I can't describe the amount of rage I have for people that willfully decide to use Discord as documentation host.

Let's list the problems:
1) You need a discord account
2) You depend on discord to stay up
3) Discord's search function is the only thing known to man to be MORE useless than screaming into the void
4) CHAT services are not DOCUMENTATION and NEVER WILL BE
5) HOW DO YOU EVEN FIT A WIKI PAGE INTO A MESSAGE?
6) WHAT VERSION DOES THIS MESSAGE EVEN RELATE TO??
7) HOW DO YOU BACK IT UP 🤯

"""
Things are crazy. We’re in uncharted territory. And that’s scary. Frightening.

I’ve been doing this for over 40 years, and our models of temperature increases have been pretty darn good. But the impacts are more severe, frequent and intense than I expected. Things are happening, in terms of impact, much more rapidly than I expected.
