Also why are we acting as if Meta wasn’t doing this for over half a decade and that companies don’t actively take steps to try and prevent piracy?

I'm struggling to use Fable correctly. Everything I do ends up getting flagged and reverted back to Opus. Need to do some digging.

Misc was a magical place back in the day.

I'll never forget there was a kid that weighed something akin to 600 pounds who posted as a troll but everyone started giving him helpful advice and encouragement. He lost hundreds of pounds and I believe even entered a bodybuilding show.
