This is a particularly difficult situation to give advice on because it could be totally harmless or completely dangerous, depending on the details.

You’re probably best talking to a therapist or other highly trusted individual who knows the specifics of the situation instead of random internet strangers.

To be fair it also looks like a photoshop job.

ODDTAXI is an absolutely amazing show. It feels slow and chill, yet it’s really gripping.

The writing is phenomenal! Every detail matters, even little stuff like “what pen is that guy writing with?”

No no, you’re absolutely right. I’ve seen a good deal of that too in the culture I was raised in.

They have to hold that view! How else would a guy like that get sex once every nine months?

Tools that are well loved like that are always worth it imo. Anything to simulate the creative side of the brain.

Had an executive assistant at my company who did very little if anything. Nobody knew why she was kept around and paid so much. Everyone pressured the CEO to fire her, but he strongly resisted. Eventually she was fired, but immediately threatened to sue for sexual harassment. CEO threw her a lovely settlement check despite claiming that nothing ever happened. Mmhmm.

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. If they joined the fediverse that means you can have an account on any other platform you choose, including one you own. And that one account can access all the content everywhere. So basically you’d get all the perks of YouTube but few if any of the problems.

They’ve done research about deplatforming, and it’s actually really effective in reducing content - most of the followers aren’t motivated enough to jump to a different website to follow their conspiracy content.

Probably not, there are some short cycles like El Niño that will see some temporary heating and cooling. But the trend will always be upwards.

My theory is that the Titanic actually is the long lost Ship of Theseus, just with all the parts replaced hundreds of times.

without any user IDs!

single-use and long-term user addresses

Addresses are IDs too…

They probably signed a contract stating they’d pay it in American dollars, governed under American law. Oops!

Yeah but now they have to play by our rules or get defederated. We are no longer at the mercy of profit motives.

An extraordinarily sensible action. While Israel is certainly causing the most civilian suffering right now, Hamas also needs to be punished for their instigating terrorist actions.

The only good guys here are the noncombatants.

The trade with China is a a big part why they haven’t been invaded yet. This may speed up the timeline for China’s invasion.

No, I’m saying that if a nation has such a huge advantage they also have more responsibility to select targets carefully so as to not kill noncombatants.

Absolutely, there were millions of civilian casualties in WWII. The difference here is that there have been, according to Israel, only 273 soldiers killed in ground operation combat vs the 13,000 civilians killed on Gaza’s side. (According to the new, lower estimates.) This is not so much a war as a one-sided beatdown.

When entire civilian populations are bombed or starved, then yes. The US is not free of war crimes. They’re merely immune from the consequences.

Misleading title more than simply fake, but arguably there’s no difference in the propaganda wars.
