Described: Why whenever I figure something out myself after posting a help thread, I'll write a whole report on what I did before it got fixed (because often I'm just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, and I never know what exactly moved the needle)

Those threads with "fixed it!" and no instructions? If they're on reddit, I'm posting "I deleted system32 and the problem went away!"

If it's Linux related say "open a terminal and do sudo rm -rf /" for similar life-ruining effects.

sudo rm -rf /

Ok, so I retroactively removed the realm of France and now a bunch of Spanish people are pissed about living too close to Luxembourg and the number of great cheeses in the world has decreased by 80%!

What now?

Now you remove Britain as well, and the healing can begin.
