There will always be garbage, pants-on-heads stupidity on these platforms. I doubt the women saying this even believe what they are saying, it's all to drive engagement via outrage
The point isn't for other fedi users. It's to deter Threads users from becoming proper fedi users. It used to be those popups only appeared when something genuinely touchy came up. Now they're used for anything the parent company doesn't like as a scare tactic but people don't realise it. Google does this too with Play Protect.
And other countries are relevant to Mango Mussolini being responsible for the pandemic related economic damage in America how precisely? Surely you are not attempting to move the goal posts?
No, more like you are once again failing to read and understand.
My entire point, which I have already literally spelled out, is that while Trump was indeed an utter failure in leadership for pretty much all of his presidency, never mind during COVID, GDP is a shit metric to prove Trump's ineffectiveness in the COVID pandemic, precisely because other countries that did prepare also had their GDP tank, albeit as a direct result of those measures. You can literally see that much on the graph in the thumbnail of this fucking post.
That is why I suggested using the number of dead from COVID, which is something the US had in alarming fucking numbers for a first world country, directly because of Trump's fuckery.
When you learn to accept your blatant attempt to excuse the utter disaster that 45 was is in fact obvious, perhaps you'll get mocked less.
I am literally fucking agreeing with you that Trump's presidency was an utter disaster. I have literally spelled that much out. Time and time again. You are picking a fight where none exists.
And most of those were the result of not having any prevention.
Not true. The main preventative measure for most countries was stay at home orders for all except essential workers. Working from home wasn't much of a thing back then, so most places were absolutely caught with their pants down. Stay at home orders were unprecedented and completely unplanned for, most managers considered them unthinkable.
This is NOT me saying those orders were anything except the right thing to do, but it did completely zero the productivity of entire industries.
Those orders saved lives. And that is the metric we should be using. But since those particular numbers aren't really knowable, we can instead use number of dead instead.
Human life is more important than the economy, and I will always lambast Trump for his decision making during this critical time.
Have patience. Rome wasn't built in a day, and both overcoming your mental struggles and finding a partner who accepts you and can handle you will take time.
It ain't about people they don't like, it's about a powerful corporation known to be abusive, psychologically manipulative and unafraid to break laws so long as it benefits them.
You wouldn't want such an entity under your roof either
The government is already the one who makes that decision. The only thing new here is a line being drawn with regards to social media's push towards addiction and echo-chamberism.
I don't see why we can't take a look at it now. No one cares about GG anymore, and IGN has practically become the punching bag of the industry for their... interesting choices
The only thing we can do is live the lives we have.
For as long as I've been alive we've always been on the brink of one thing or another. Worrying about the bits that you cannot change will only do you harm.
Here's the thing though, KIA was only created after the banwaves and mass-deletions that happened across all social media (even 4chan). KiA was created long after everything started kicking off.
Not really. It was initially called the Quinnspiracy, after Zoe Quinn, author of Depression Quest, an e-choose-your-own-adventure-book that got some coverage in videogame journals.
Shit blew up when her ex made massive accusations about sleeping with the journalists in question. Then some actor coined the term Gamergate, and their targets expanded to then-journalist Anita Sarkeesian (I think she works more as a DEI advisor now) and indie game developer Brianna Wu.
Make no mistake, the games journalism industry was not spotless, far from it. But the rampant misogyny in Gamergate cannot be ignored.
