Little do they know it's actually a synonym for Amazon Web Services
my elbow had a small itch a moment ago, so i scratched it. 
Consistently, every time as far as I can tell, any communication forum or forum subsection of sufficient size that is done with open invitation under pretenses of "free speech" will bring in pedophiles and nazis that will take over if nothing is done about them, no matter the original intent.
The Paradox of Tolerance in a nutshell...
Does anyone remember Voat? Man, that place went downhill real fast.

There are physicist, respected ones, that believe the universe is deterministic. That we don’t have free will.
And psychologists that believe that feeling of consciousness is a result of the brain developing a self-supervising function for higher order thinking.
Essentially free will is just an illusion.
What difference does it make?
Well, if true, it doesn’t make any difference. Because it always was and always will be. Nothing makes any difference.
But in another way, it’s kinda neat. I guess it’s simultaneously a not fun fact, and a fun fact.

Ducky from Land Before Time was murdered by her step dad for being too famous
Factually incorrect.
Judith Barsi (and her mother) was killed by her biological father before he killed himself.
There is no evidence pointing to any anger of fame. Both of her major roles (The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven)were released after her death.
The father was an abusive drunk that threated to kill the family and himself multiple times.
