What the hell is cyber-violence even supposed to be?
It's when you choke someone with a Cat 6 cable.

I once caught one of my cadets trying to smuggle home an ethernet cable noose; I did not know why he had ethernet cable but I'm 99% he'll grow up to be a serial killer

What the hell is cyber-violence even supposed to be?

It is just a renamed Cyberbullying in order to make it sound more edgy and serious.

Think of it as the opposite of calling civilian casualties... Collateral Damage.
Spamming - violent marketing
Hacking - violent hackmurder
Scamming - violent sneaky cyber wallet stabby
Piracy - intellectual murder
Being mean on twitter - literally hitler
Sexual grooming of children - collateral damage

Tbh Hackmurder sounds like an awesome Dorf Fort name.
Having been mean on Twitter a couple of times, I guess I'm literally Hitler. I'm gonna need some classes in rhetoric before I start making speeches, though. Can it wait until next semester?

According to Google Translate, it's "shitposting".

When I had typed out "shitpostin", it asked me to translate from Albanian.

The noun form would be Scheißepost and the verb root would be scheißebuch, I believe. I'm sure one of our resident Germans (probably Helgo) knows, though.

Edit: accidentally sawed into my finger whilst cutting rolls, capillary shock stopped it bleeding. It's five minutes later and it's still not bleeding. I am Arx the Bloodless!

One thing I am surprised about in my years is for the LONGEST time I've been told over and over that bugs are the food of the future because they are easier to farm then other meat.

Yet, many many years later as I found out... It actually is a myth.

And your green eyes flash with the flames of a thousand repressed memories. You have a chest with three locks, that you made, and yet you can not open it. You save and destroy, and where you walk wonder and disaster are equally sown. You have counselled kings, lain with the Fey Felurian, and conquered the hearts and minds of the people. Your Alar is the sea in storm, and you called down lightning against the Chandrian. Fey friend, demon maker, sorcerer. And yet, you can no longer defeat hired toughs when they trespass in your domain.

Glass that is on the point of shattering, but which was once as strong as steel.

Well, even though it doesn't matter (because they are both myths)... The second.

"Hey, let's kill all the white/black/Jewish people in x town" should be punished, however.

Unless it's part of a rap or metal song and therefore has redeeming artistic value

EDIT:
Same thing for trying to convince people to kill themselves

Huh also found out the 5 stages of grief are not set in stone.

Apparently the person who originally came up with them regrets ever doing so. Because what she went out to do was list 5 common experiences she observed her patients having to normalize how people feel. Which is actually quite noble.

Yet because of the way the popular consciousness works many people took it as the 5 stages of grief everyone must go through.

I have a lost of sympathy for the scientist. She had good intention but people bastardized it.
