I have no objection to that, of course.

It seems that you were looking for podcasts and video channels, maybe ask for them?

Content creators just seems so ... corporate. Content is something you have to provide in order to sell ads around the edges of it.

I know I'm old because I really hate describing people as "content creators". :)

Hard to say it's a real recession in the way we normally think of it when unemployment is so low.

There seem to be two Diablo IV games.

One is a single player or co-op offline RPG where you're running around killing monsters and collecting loot so that you personally can save the world. Seeing other players running around just breaks the illusion.

The other is some online multi-player thing where you can run around and team up with other people in the quest to min-max your build, where you pay stupid amounts of money to make your character look the same as all the other people who paid for the same skin.

I like the first game, have no interest in the second, and I resent where the mechanics designed for the second game interfere with the first.

Some political views are incompatible with "no one deserves to be shouted down". That's what fascism and neo-Nazis are all about.

I think you're trying to get at the idea that we should be more worried about behaviour than beliefs, but unfortunately some beliefs drive some very undesirable behaviour. You can't really say things like "all gays should be killed" in a behaviour-neutral way.

Good morning from my home office with a heated foot mat!
