I don't really have a dog in this fight as I stopped using the platform years ago. Not only was the UI crappy, but they also kept trying to shut down the browser extensions that improved the interface. (Unlike, e.g., Reddit and the popular extension RES.)

@ivanvector have you played Terraformed Mars yet?
and to my critics on Council I would say, I was elected mayor of Omelas with the promise to keep property taxes at or below the rate of inflation, and moreover I have fully supported the Get That Kid Out of the Basement strategy, but it is simply not fair to place the entire burden of rescuing this child, a situation which I have repeatedly asked the Province to address, upon the taxpayers of this city, and I take exception to the insinuation that $7 of funding is an empty gesture

Patreon, the company, is literally on fire

Histories of languages:

French: Some germans started speaking latin, then later the ones living in paris decided that all the other ones in france should speak the same kind of latin

Spanish: Someone tried speaking italian and arabic at the same time

Italian: Some fucking weirdo decided that the whole country should speak a dialect based on poetry from the 13th century

English: When some different germans got beat up by the germans from earlier and learned some latin words

She did nothing to it. It just stopped.
