Was playing online and saw someone with the name “Content” but the n was replaced with a Russian character. This makes it unsearchable (directly) in both English and Russian.
I wonder how many people are found nowadays by searching vs being delivered by the algorithm.
At least on Lemmy, you don’t really search for people except in very rare cases. On Mastodon, users are more important than the topics they talk about, so over there it’s a whole different ballgame.
This is what I was thinking. Most people probably just come together algorithmically or by having played a round together, and not necessarily by search. If there is the need to search for a specific player, there is also often a second player ID that can be used instead of the display name.
Maybe I don’t wanna be found.
Why is that ironic?
Like rain on your wedding day.
My city got rained on during a lunar eclipse. I’m not kidding.

We don’t tak about Bruno
Maybe they like to stand out but don’t like to be searched out.
Classic example of faux Cyrillic.

That’s why you get some friends together to all have similar plates. Similar cars too, if possible.
“Was it the gray Corolla, or the gray Camry? Was de-badged?” “They are all de-badged! What about the prius from the bank robbery?” “There are three cyan prii, that fled from that” “Were they driving an LE or SE model trim?” “No idea, did anyone check what wheels they had?” “Oh, they are known to swap the wheels of the different trims of that generation” “I’ve heard that they wrap the cars before they pull a job, so they don’t expose the real paint job” “GAHHHH”

Yeah, if you want conspiracy and RICO charges added to make sure you spend the rest of your life being tortured in prisons…

How is it that there is always a fitting xkcd no matter what kind of hilarious situation is mentioned?
