I work with kids and sometimes we have to do safety lessons with them about like, not telling strangers on the internet your home address or something. And sometimes the kids wont understand why, so you have to impart upon them that, well, some adults want to hurt children. And thats kind of difficult to do, because you have to beat around the bush, both because you dont want to scare them (while still making them understand how serious it is) and because you might lose your job if you explain it too straight forward.
Luckily, for some reason, the villain of one of the most popular franchises with children for the last 10 years happens to be a serial child murderer. So when a kid asks why they shouldnt trust strangers, instead of hand wringing and humhawing my answer out, I can just say "we dont always know when a strange adult has good intentions with children, or when they are William Afton."
Back when I was a redditor (😔) I realized a strange phenomenon. No one cares about your original posts, but if you make the post on another site and screenshot it, people assume it’s a tweet from someone who is known/is funny/etc and the post would do way better
If the only thing that has kept you going was outliving Mitch McConnell, imma need yall to pick a new person to outlive and fast. Your mission is not over.
The realm smp public community meeting yesterday was so ass 😭 not on the devs hosting it's part, they did fine, but like. The info we got.
server is officially on hiatus now. It'll stay up, but no updates, no events, no nothing will be happening. Only quick bug fixes.
devs confirmed to be focusing on sustainable jobs instead of realm (completely understandable)
server stuff was optimized/downgraded to be less pricy by tubbo? Presumably so it would be easier to keep up on its smaller scale
devs don't want to give up on the server, and would like to get back to it at some point, see point 2 for why they can't rn.
But while the dev team + tubbo seem somewhat optimistic and made sure to like, extend gratitude to the community that's persisted so far, I think they're putting a bit too much faith in the community continuing to stick around after this announcement 😭
Like, people have been sticking around, yes, for the friends and communities they've made on the server, but also with the hopes that something new would happen. But now... we know it's not, at least no time soon. So most people will probably just stick with their friends and find somewhere else to hang out.
