Where we're going, we don't need roads @zara2148 - Tumblr Blog

Any way, things to try and do to make some noise about this.

Call Discord at 888-594-0085. All I had to do was stay on the line and leave a voice mail.

File a support ticket with discord. This will require you to create an account separate from your discord account.

If you have Nitro, CANCEL IT.

File a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency. You do not need to live in California to do this. I personally checked off "Right to Opt-out of Sale/Sharing" "Right to Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" "A business’s collection, use, storing or sharing of my personal information" and "Children's privacy" because like FUCK would they not be getting that in their efforts to protect them. When they asked for evidence of privacy violations, I shared the Discord press release.

It's also worth mentioning that Discord is headquartered in California.

EDIT: With it coming out about Discord age verification being tied to Palantir, this is another concern to mention with CPPA. I would recommend dropping an article like this in evidence, as it further highlights how questionable the claim is that your private identifying info will not leave your device.

Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

If you live in a European country, this webpage has a list of all the countries so you can find yours and file a privacy complaint.

Canadians can file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner. I've been informed this is likely not to be helpful due to the restrictions of the businesses the Privacy Commissioner actually has authority over.

Edit: People have also suggested leaving negative reviews on mobile app stores!

Edit as of 2/25/2025: Discord has delayed until mid 2026! This is GOOD NEWS but don't let up on making noise.

One additional point worth bringing up, Discord and other social media platforms were contacted by DHS to give information on 'anti ICE' accounts.

While it is never a GOOD time to be handing out your private information, this is a time it can actively endanger you. This is another point worth bringing up in conversation about this!

looks like a lot of people in the notes are unfamiliar with the old sonic colouring book edits!

Pronoun Palace is a word-spelling roguelike set in a dystopian future where the government has taken your pronouns. Use spells to manipulate

Highly recommend this, I've lost ten hours to it already.

I love scarlet hollow because its beautiful and thematic and feels like everyone has lives you just keep stumbling into and accidentally changing and saving and ruining without meaning to and barely comprehending the consequences of what you do until after you've done it. I also love scarlet hollow because I can tell my friends "you should play scarlet hollow, you can fuck the rot" and I won't be lying. I mean, it isnt technically sex, and the rot has complicated obsessive inhuman feelings about you that are both very protective and deeply unsettling, but given the people I'm friends with I actually think all of that is a selling point.

i love that 17th century jewish poltergeist story where the family living in the haunted house calls a catholic priest for help before they contact a rabbi, because yeah, i think that would be my call too; id be like, oh? a demon in my house speaking latin and drawing inverted crosses on my wall in sulfuric bile? then without even questioning my faith i’d call up the catholic church and be like yo father, one of your boys loose come get him

I don’t think I’ll ever get over renowned Star Wars Author Timothy Zahn, creator of Mara Jade and MFING THRAWN looking me dead in the eyes mid conversation (at a con) and asking:

“can I tell you one of my headcanons?”

[Edit to add the HC cause I genuinely wasn’t expecting anyone to care about this]

The reason Lando greeted Han the way he did on Bespin was because he was trying to imitate the way Han greeted him before the sabaac game at the end of Solo. The sabaac game where Han tricked him and Lando lost the Falcon. Lando was trying to telegraph to Han that he was going to be tricked and to stay on guard the only way he could think of.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!
