Who’s seen the new season of the boys

Silence is complacency and, therefore, just as problematic.

Doesn’t have to be explicitly stated.

Toot toot!

Captain bummer here:

Most people if this were a guy, would immediately call this out as toxic, manipulative, and abusive behavior

I’ll err on the side of optimism and assume this was just a joke pic, but I did want to shed light on the fact that fucking with your partners food without their knowledge and consent is abusive and manipulative.

Right, I wouldn’t say they’re separate by any means but I’m sure they all have their own strings and lines in the sand, wouldn’t say there’re one in the same quite yet

Nothings ever that black and white

I think it’s more likely that MS is trying to cover its ass and maintain credibility with arguably their largest customer, the US govt, and is blocking the fuck out of any inquiries

The US needs to end its reliance on big tech and businesses in general. You’re supposed to be a governing body, not party to the countries diseased economic system run by the ultra rich.

Data brokers and people with experience with helping those affected by identity theft and cyberstalking will tell you otherwise.

Last, never said anything like that. You’ve completely misinterpreted and put in assumptions to my claim that there are problems and difficulties that many, if not most, still face regarding specific implementations of social media. That is, not social media purely as a technology or a concept, but as specific use cases, I.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (TikTok may be a stretch for social media in regards to traditional examples, but many still use it as such)

Wasn’t saying you shouldn’t have any

Outlined the current challenges we face, because the majority of people have not learned how to deal with it. Mostly because of difficult life circumstances and several addictive and mainstream implementations

You don’t need to share everything about you all the time. There is nuance in privacy and intimacy between close friends and family.

Until we realize that, we will continue to learn this lesson over and over until it sinks in.

These are the steps we must climb.

12 consecutive months of record breaking heat.

“Wood”

Figures - somehow the guy trying to have an informed conversation with someone about their views on an article when clear confusion about said view is expressed, they refuse to elaborate or participate in civil discourse.

Some people just want to speak to hear their own voice I suppose. If anyone else shares this view, and does wish to participate, I’d be happy to continue

I mean, my point still stands but if we want to talk about semantics - are you saying betamax wasn’t a giant?

Obviously they entered the vhs war and lost, but after that it was pretty much downhill for the rest of their company and products. They were a big name brand and crashed out by entering a war they ultimately lost. That’s all I’m tryin to get at

I’ve obviously read the article. I posted quotes from the article.

You don’t need to do anything - but if you’re going to make a claim that someone has explicitly countered with a direct quote, the sensible thing would be to continue the conversation.

At best, you’re trolling. We can conclude this conversation if you’re too lazy to actually back up anything you’ve said with tangible evidence. Until then you’re just saying words. That’s the only factual take away anyone should have from your claim.

Makes claim

Makes no attempt to back it up

Kk good talk lol

That’s a broad leap no? Giants rise and fall. Look at betamax, BlockBuster, Kodak, etc

There’s always going to be something better out there, as long as you’re still looking and leaving the old post. Chin up!

So much for separation of church and state LMAO

These people are treasonous and need to be treated as such

Quote the block you’re referring to please. The lawyer wouldn’t be calling this a major setback if the plan was flawed (what you’re seemingly claiming) - in fact:

“The U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department, argued that the bankruptcy law does not permit protecting the Sackler family from being sued. “

Which actually means the opposite of what I think you’re getting at. Even if they bankrupted, they could still be sued. Help me understand where/what you saw that lead to this rationale.

Do you have source for this so I can learn more?

Because of fucking course

Who will we blame our problems on if we just go and start taking steps towards solving them
