@futurebird I once had a creature crawl (more like drag itself) over my foot in the dark and give it a pinch. Felt more like crab claws than teeth. It was pitch dark and I couldn't see ANYTHING, it was the 90's before cell phone flashlights. Was it just some normal night critter? Maybe. Was it the tiniest cryptid ever? Also maybe! (Probably not. But maybe!) It was scary as hell at the time, I was probably about 10. Remembering how it felt still gives me shivers.

Forget the aliens and angels and bigfoots. -
This story has been bubbling on the side for some time it involves a lot of complex topics.@futurebird absolutely. I was a game mod many years ago in another online game. When human mods were there, we kept the environment civil, kept bullies from taking over, kept racism out, made sure bad actors, gold farmers (these are usually run using forced labor) etc were not present. Once human mods disappeared, online games basically turned toxic, with many/most games becoming unpleasant spaces in the "global" chat areas. Human mods need to be brought back.

If anyone tells you that they can explain all of the craziness of the world in a single theory be skeptical.@futurebird I went to an upper middle class school near DC, and for ages could not figure out why we were taught about climate change ("worst case scenario, we could reach a grim point in ~50 years," graduated 04,) when the "leaders" these kids were being groomed to be were denying this. Clearly, they have known for a long time. But then I realized... well exactly. Of course they knew. They probably knew it was worse than that. But the "leadership" is expected to learn how to lie about it.
