What you will notice is the law changing.
Meta is already evil and has been for years. You don't get back with your abusive ex and say "I'll leave him if he hits me again", you get that fucker out of your life. Meta is the internet's abusive ex
Gmail killed the popularity of most email services. Don't let Threads end up like Gmail
It's not just the data collection, it's also the data presentation. Meta controls how information is presented on their platforms. Remember how I was talking about making seemingly random changes to influence society? Social platforms are how Meta makes those changes. They can control what gets upvotes on Facebook and Threads. If Threads is federated with Moist Catsweat, then they influence what content is visible from the Hot and Active pages of Moist Catsweat. That means they don't just control the political opinions of everyone you talk to, they can influence you. Show you memes and news articles that make you more likely to vote for Trump or Brexit or whatever it is in your country.
Meta keeps a profile on you even if you're not a user. They mine data from your friends, family, and colleagues to learn who you are. If anyone you know has you in their phone contacts, and if they've given apps like Messenger or Whatsapp access to their contacts, then you already have a secret Meta account.
Why does Meta want to gather data on non users? Because this information is valuable for data on social engineering. Social engineering includes advertising, influencing people to make purchases in both direct and in subtle ways. But it also includes political campaigning, and the efforts of industry giants to influence people in certain directions.
Maybe car companies want you driving bigger and more expensive cars. Maybe fossil fuel companies want you to form positive associations with the idea of gas stoves. Maybe Israel wants you exposed to pro-IDF memes on your social media. Maybe the US government wants you to respect the law and ignore covid.
This data is a tool that tells organisations how to make subtle changes that influence populations. If you have access to enough information, you can run scientific experiments to see what random changes influence people's behaviour. Then you figure out how to make those changes less random, and more controlled. Meta has already gotten in trouble for running exactly these experiments.

In a companion piece, The Times reported that people at Cambridge Analytica and its British affiliate, the SCL Group, were in contact with executives from Lukoil, the Kremlin-linked oil giant, as Cambridge built its Facebook-derived profiles. Lukoil was interested in the ways data was used to target American voters, according to two former company insiders. SCL and Lukoil denied that the talks were political in nature and said the oil giant never became a client.
Democrats looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election — already interested in Cambridge’s role in providing analytics to the Trump campaign — said they would seek an investigation into the leak. They were echoed by lawmakers in Britain investigating Cambridge Analytica’s role in disinformation and the country’s referendum to leave the European Union.
Meta has been using the internet to influence the government and control the laws you live under, no matter what part of the world you're from.
Meta has been ruining the internet long enough. It's time the internet told them to shut up and go away
A vevalemma. Vevaios is Greek for certain.
Maybe you could try letting the heroes use their cool abilities designed specifically for these situations
Create water doesn't work inside a person because all living things inherently have enough magical ability to resist spells cast on or in their person. Damage dealing spells have to be specifically designed to work on people, or they have to be able to attack someone by applying an external force.
Crits double the dice. So it's not d4, it's 2d4
Yo this shit is exciting
They named the trans girl character Ryan. You know how in Harry Potter books everyone's referred to by their last name? Well she's Ryan. That's not inclusive. That's a writing decision and it doesn't look good.
Which makes sense, given that the lead developer for most of development was a member of fucking gamergate.
