@Lyude Remember, haters gotta hate, because they got nothing going on in their lives.
setting a very firm boundary
This has been such a problem lately that I have to say something about it.
We've had some interpersonal issues with folks that resulted in us blocking them. Sometimes we do it quietly and move on, sometimes we mention that a boundary is crossed, it's not all that consistent.
But what has been consistent is that some folks feel it necessary to publicly call us out for it, talking to us as if we're going to see it.
Regardless of circumstances, regardless of whether we made a mistake in blocking you, the moment you make a public callout about it, you have irreversibly broken our ability to trust you.
What you have done is made a personal issue public, opened the doors for us to be harassed and dogpiled (which has happened multiple times) and we can no longer trust you to keep personal things personal.
We don't have a choice in this, there are some former friends who have done this that we wanted to try to apologize to, or maybe see if we could reverse a mistake. But that trust is gone, and it's not coming back.
tl;dr: don't publicly call us out for blocking you or we'll never be able to trust you again.
On the recommendation of some cool fedi animal-people I installed the Unhook extension that removes everything from YouTube that isn't your subscriptions.
I have also been using the SponsorBlock extension that automatically skips sponsored content segments for more than a year.
And, of course, we all know about ad blockers.
I love how with a little bit of curiosity you can completely take a knife to the unwholesome systems of people who really don't have your best interests at heart.
I dislike everything about this sentence. I don't like subscription models.
A dear family member needs hardware, please boost!
"Okay so, I can't put this off any further. I need a new computer, this one I am on is 12 years old and I am paranoid about it dying at any moment. Saving up as much as possible to get what hardware I can by the end of this year. It has recently become a bit of an emergency as I realized more and more of the programs I use are starting to break on my system. I really need this to happen before the end of this year. 🙏"

Of course, if someone has the misfortune of getting stuck in the spirit realm and encountering Min-Su, the fox is more than happy to tell their victim how to leave... provided they can beat one of the kumiho's games.
"You win, I'll tell you the way out of this little corner of the spirit world... You lose, however..."
The kumiho's voice trails off as they lick their chops.
"Well, let's just say you wouldn't have been leaving anyway..."
