Disco Elysium:

Ah. I had KotORII:TSL in the same role. While the game you’re talking about was apparently that for one girl with which we didn’t understand each other. But the game is good and I think it did help me get to the better condition I’m in now.

I remember that what you are describing was already present in the “open web” of old.

You’d come to some place “openly”, but then (in case of RP forums)

1. until you’d write a long character description and discuss it with mods for long, you wouldn’t be allowed to post in most parts of that forum, and

2. until you had chatted over ICQ with a few people from that forum and knew who they are and they knew who you are, you wouldn’t be really welcome, people would just ignore your posts.

You would come to a place quite socially, not unlike IRL meetings. It wouldn’t be FB or Google confirming your registration and giving you right to post, it would be a real person you were going to communicate with later.

And maybe I’m not that asocial\autistic\etc, if that was fine with me back then and what’s now isn’t. Maybe I’m just afraid of silent eyes and silent hands managing my social interactions, which is sane.

It wasn’t really IE-only. People sort of could use Netscape, and then Mozilla, and then Firefox. And Opera which wasn’t free.

What I don’t get is why hasn’t there been a split yet. Not like Seamonkey, but from major developers of FF.

Yes, it is. As a user you compromise only that user as a consequence of some sandbox escape. Then there may or may not be some successful privilege elevation.

Come on, Israel is itself already almost anti-Semitic. They have that picture of the reborn Hebrew nation, and actual history and culture and language of really existing Jewish communities and groups they care about only when that serves that goal. If those communities and groups are underrepresented in Israel itself - may even be hostility.

Which is the same as “despise”
