When I was young people used to tell me "You're wise beyond your years" Thanks! That'd be the trauma.

This sort of thinking only serves to allow people to delude themselves into thinking that they are not victim to the same things as everyone else.
No one is immune to these cognitive biases. There are aspects of it effectively hardcoded into the human brain structure.
Studies have shown that being aware you're watching an advertisement does not negatively impact its effect on the viewer.
Put short:
It would be in the recent Gamefreak leak, I'd expect. That would also be why people aren't linking directly to them and only posting screenshots.
So... blocking an instance as a user just hides the instances communities, if I'm remembering the implementation details right. It doesn't block interaction with the instances users. Stupidly misleading.
You'll still need to block the users one by one.
Add the extra layer of my mother not appreciating my interests and thinking what I now do for a living was a waste of time... And a dash of expecting me to somehow just be able to perfectly do chores they never taught me how to do when I was young. Yes, this is the first time I've ever mopped a floor at 17 years old. How the fuck is that my fault?
Man, you young folks must not have been around for E3, or all the various leaked E3 presentation builds of games over the years.
You can pull off some amazing looking stuff with just scripting the hell out of everything and only showing what you want people to see. Toss in some obviously unfinished stuff to make it all look more legit.
Gameplay "demos" that are not open to the public to mess with are just ad reel by another name.
Can I kindly introduce you to an old games industry expo called E3? It's not hard to make something look good in a controlled environment.
Literally who?

The difference in playstyles was such a surprise to me when I set up a coop game for my wife and I.
I had been doing a modded playthrough with slightly extended days. I'd upkeep my crops, then clear a bit of land, forage until my energy was low, and then go run around town, chat with townies, use forage as gifts, etc.
My wife had been playing for a while when it was on gamepass, but I hadn't really watched how she played. She'd do everything on the farm, then refill her energy with food or the hot springs, and keep grinding on the farm or in the mines. Townies who?
Corporations are only publicly as right or left politically as helps their profits and PR, outside of some exceptions with CEOs that overestimate their importance (see Musk).
Disney repeatedly blames right wingers for the failure of their more diverse programming, yet removed/minimized John Boyega in the Chinese releases of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. They're just one of the most obvious examples, not an exception or anything.
This is a surprising take from Zach, considering that the World Economic Forum exists, and the LIBOR fixing scandal wasn't too long ago.
Ultimately, nothing big can happen in the world without the complexity of a ton of people, systems, etc being involved. The world is complicated. But there are absolutely many examples throughout history and even recent events of small groups of individuals having outsized amounts of influence.
