Forced Arbitration Added to Discord's Terms
First up: forced arbitration is effectively a legal way (in the Unites States) for a company to stop you from suing them. It means if anything happens that is sue-worthy (say they massively fucked up and people's data got stolen en masse), you would not be allowed to sue them.
Instead you'd be forced into a process called arbitration which is private (you wouldn't be allowed to speak on what was going on publicly) removed from the courts and handled by arbiters who were selected by and beholden to the company that did the shady/illegal thing (Discord, in this case) so your odds of getting anywhere are basically zero.
The good news:
You can opt out of this bullshit pretty easily. You just need to send an email clearly stating that you are opting out from the email address associated with your discord account.
Unfortunately, you only have 30 days from April 15, 2024 (or 30 days from your account's creation if you made a new one) to send this opt out email. So you're gonna wanna get on that pretty quick, even if you don't ever imagine you needing to sue Discord, having the option taken away from you is never a good thing.
The email you need to message is:
Again you need to send from the email inbox associated with your discord account, you should also save the email after you send it so if you need to pull it out and wave it in someone's face later you have it handy.
The email doesn't need to be in depth or long, just something direct and simple like:
"I am writing to opt out if the arbitration clause added in their most recent update to their Terms of Service."
Remember, just because you don't think you'll need to does not mean it's okay for them to be shady and take the option away from you.
Go forth and be spiteful my dudes

hey discord updated their terms of service! You have until the 15th of april 2024 to email
[email protected] if you want to opt out of their new binding arbitration clauses
I don’t have any kind of legal training, but I read terms a lot, and I’m pretty sure binding arbitrarion is where you have to go to a neutral third party like AAA instead of a courts system to resolve disputes.
the new terms also have something against class action lawsuits but I don’t think there’s a way to opt out of that

does sherlock & co have shippy vibes? 🔎
This is a tricky question, anon! The writer, Joel Emery, was mainly inspired by the Guy Ritchie films and BBC Sherlock, so I would be surprised if it turned out not to have shippy vibes on that basis. But also, he's specifically said that he's aware that his podcast has three main audiences: Sherlockians, johnlockers, and the general public (who don't really know Holmes very well). The way he talks about it suggests (to me.) that he wants to leave room for people to ship them if they want. He's also mentioned that he plans for John stay in 221B for the run of the series, rather than marry and move out to open a medical practice, as in the stories. So, yknow, it's pretty easy to ship them with all this context.
But is the plan to have them become a couple? I have absolutely no idea. For my part, I plan to listen and appreciate the series for what it has to offer. It's entertaining, it foregrounds John and Sherlock's relationship (whatever that ends up being) and I like that Emery wants to adapt every story in the canon, which no one has done before. If you're interested in Sherlock Holmes, it's hard to imagine *not* listening to it, to be quite honest.

I think I can with certainty say I'm past the halfway point with this. there's not that much random dialogue left to make up
I can only hope the switch works as intended on other computers, since a different timing left them mid-transition. it seems like it doesn't interrupt the bubbles switch but it's only if the menu switch/shell reset comes at a specific point before it 🤔
sakurascript is really weird with calling functions, but I Think if you call it as a variable ( %(function) ) it doesn't interrupt the script?? maybe??
