I've been propagandizing since grade school

Are you a mod of something? Might be related to that, cause I got an invite too and the only thing I can think of is I have moderation activity.

Nothing you can do. This is the implicit (and sometimes explicit) contract we have with cloud services, that they'll keep our data safe and keep the lights on forever. If you think about it, though, unless you're paying for it this is untenable. A single user, when paying with their attention, will only ever generate a fairly fixed amount monthly. And yet the cost of keeping them on as a user grows steadily over time as more data is accumulated.

Man, I can't believe people fell for this. Seeing it now, the copy on the "ad" is just horrendous.

Katakana (one of the two phonetic alphabets) is for foreign words and it's not exactly the same - Katakana has more variations to represent different sounds basically unused in actual Japanese-origin words. For example there's the ヴ character pronounced like "vu" but no such sound is used in Japanese words. It gives an immediate visual indicator that the word is taken from another language so it's not like they made it just because.

Strangely enough, Lizard predates Rock significantly but took a long time to be considered competitively fair - around the time Spock was invented.

If Mr Pooh was personally overseeing my day to day I'd feel pretty special
