Unpacking the dishwasher and then making my bed with one hand.. because I'm holding a bag of oats in my other hand.
Why? Because I have adhd and got distracted before making breakfast, so I've been carrying oats around the house for the last 20 minutes without noticing.
There's something really funny about the Efteling having English names for many of their rides, and every anglophone vlogger insisting on butchering the Dutch name instead

The game works now but the mod download does not.
I don't think I'm playing a game today

Why on earth is my game crashing on launch... in the garbage collector
I intended to play a game and now I'm compiling KiCad

Happy agender day! Please dump all your unwanted gender into this bin:

I, the gender trash panda, will happily collect and root through them.

Interesting thing i've learned over the years from dealing with server hosting:
Game population rarely grows linearly, the odds for a server to be half full are dramatically smaller than for it to be empty or full.
(I also want to emphasize that this has been a problem for *at least* a decade, and in some ways has become *less* of a problem over that time.)
Since people are getting restless about Hetzner again: yes, those kinds of TOS are problematic. However, and this is crucial, they are also *common* - even if not every hosting provider tells you upfront.
Does this justify such terms? No. But it means that you need to think carefully about what your actual anticipated problems are, and whether moving to a different provider is actually a good solution.
When it comes down to it, virtually every cheap hosting provider is going to be extremely strict on acceptable usage of their services; usually they will enforce a strict and conservative interpretation of the local legislation, because simply put, fighting legal cases costs money.
Hetzner sticks out right now due to recent incidents, but consider how big they actually are; at that scale, two incidents do not make a pattern, and unless you *know* that another provider is more friendly to your cause (and this will likely have a pricetag attached), other options are not necessarily better.

@schratze would you like your bad user experience in “we intentionally made it bad” or in “we don’t know how to not make it bad”
