Cookies required for the website to work (like that one) are totally fine and, in fact, they don't even have to ask you about them - if they're not used for tracking. So no, asking each time is definitely avoidable.

Not only is that headline's grammar exceptional(ly bad), for a moment I thought the developer of Control was named Alan Wake. Like, how did they manage to butcher that so badly?

There are pros to this:

If the person you blocked can't see your posts, they can intuit that you've blocked them. Then, they might try and find you on other social media to harass you even further, or shift targets to someone else.

If they can see your posts, they have no idea they've been blocked, similar to Reddit's shadow bans. This might make them think you're just annoyed or rarely look at your DMs, making them invest even more time to uselessly try to contact you.

Of course, I can see the other side too, that you don't want them to know about any (new) posts you've made; but it isn't as one-sided as you seem to think it is.

Because you don't need to have significant experience or rent a VPS in order to do that, and I can respect that. We don't need to force FOSS developers to become proficient in everything.

What needs to happen is some kind of tool (ideally FOSS) that lets you spin up an actual forum with the same difficulty to set it up as Discord.

But is the letter facing the direction, or are you looking in the direction if you're looking at the letter? So, is East behind the camera or in front of it?

Ich kenne die Platzverteilung dort natürlich nicht, aber dem Artikel nach hört sich das nach einem einzelnen Querdenker an, nicht nach etwas, das die SPD gemeinsam beschlossen hätte.

Because I didn't know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first:

[The] nothing matters.

And I immediately had to think of this gem:

"But it doesn't do anything!" - "No, it does nothing."

We actually have something like that in Germany:

In the region of Westphalia, there's a part officially called East Westphalia (or Ostwestfalen in German). So you're always wondering, is it in the east or in the west?

Depending on the stuffing, I might actually rather take the seat, just because it's got armrests.

I don't think I understand what you mean, might be because we're both ESL.

Are you saying you want a histogram or something about how points can be spent, instead of how players do spend them?

That could work too, but for many people, being able to dodge/avoid hits is exclusively the DEX bonus to AC, and they believe it doesn't have to do anything with hit points.

I'm on two minds about that: On the one hand, it's true that you're far better at dodging in lighter (or no) armor. OTOH, I agree with you that experience teaches you to decide where you're going to get hit if at all. So it might be something like "raise your arm so the strike doesn't hit your belly".

I rationalize it as "You took some blows so now you have a better pain tolerance".
