But that’s the same for gmail. If I send a mail to 200 gmail contacts, that mail doesn’t disappear when I delete my account

And if I send an email to 200 recipients they can all store it, I don’t see the fundamental difference for discord TBH

isn't that the case for gmail? if you send me an email with a picture in it, then delete your email account, i can still see your email when logging into my gmail

as i said in another comment, for 90% of the world's population, the level of wealth fo the average facebook employee is unfathomable too. so it's hard to play the "oh he's wealthy so there are no real consequences"

if we're going down that road, being fired is pretty inconsequential for a silicon valley software engineer. whoever your next employer is, relative to 90% of the world's population you'll still have a richer and more comfort

Losing three quarters of his net worth?

he's taken a major hit to his personal wealth as a consequence of this bad decision, so I'd say the consequences are pretty real for him

A Universal bleed kit from decathlon costs what, 30 euros? And another 20 for a big bottle of oil? Personally I find it a lot easier than adjusting dérailleurs and stuff like that, you just push the bubbles out and job done

That’s on purpose, to avoid mold in the summer. And heating a kotatsu and a bed instead of an entire house is way more energy efficient

what do you mean by inefficient? japanese houses are remarkably energy-efficient for their climate. they are very breezy, which cuts down on AC use in the summer, and in winter you heat specific objects instead of the entire house

I think it stems from the "depth of field effect" tool in post-processing, which then caused people to call the visual effect "depth of field" (instead of "shallowness of field" i guess)

> We've seen how woefully their military has performed I guess the question is, would that military have performed as woefully if we had "avoided any escalatory steps regarding the ongoing conflict in the Eastern Europe"?

France for example. As long as it’s unicorn money it’s not taxable, but if you convert to real money or buy goods and services, that income is taxed

the quantity of paper they claim to hold would mean having major stakes in at least a dozen very big organisations. the probability that not a single employee or ex-employee leaked anything is very low, especially since such a leak would ob
