Retarded was, and still is, used as an insult for those who are severally developmentally disabled. Those who are literally unable to defend themselves. The people most impacted by this have no ability to take the power back for themselves. You suggest they knew what it meant, but quite frankly I doubt, also having been involved with those with down syndrome. They might have had an idea, but it's unlikely they all understood all the depths and nuances. And regardless of just down syndrome, there are those with more severe cognitive dysfunction, potentially nonverbal, that literally have no way have reclaiming the word. I don't think it will become increasingly acceptable, I think it will become increasingly unacceptable.
The other terms you used, while they used to be medical terms, weren't use in the same connotation to target developmentally disabled individuals. That's the difference.
Quantum computing will never come around for everyone. It's entirely different technology, and what we have works quite well for what we need. A good analogy from this Cleo Abrams video is it would be like saying we no longer need cars because we invented boats
There is a lot of land, and a lot of people in the US. Even if we saw people rioting, there would be hundreds of much smaller riots fighting for local rights.
A social media platform to keep up with friends/family, while arguable not great (for comparison reasons), it not at all the same as what Facebook is right now. Facebook is no longer what it was originally created to be, it is just a dopamine slow drip.
But they are kind of committed once it's been announced/show to the public. Of course they could change it, but it's not as simple after the public has seen it.
Yea, this is the answer. "Can I read this in the time I have available" is all it is. I never once considered actually comparing the time it took me to read it with the estimate, nor do I think most people have any care to do so.
I am shocked no one mentioned the possibility of nuclear warfare every day. If everything resets, what's stopping a few people from just nuking the world on a daily basis. One country does it first, the next day the other country does it back in retaliation. The entire world may just suffer horrific deaths every single day. Even if it only happened once, the trauma of living after having experienced it once would be enough to ruin peoples mental health (I guess you could say it would nuke their mental health). I cannot imagine people finding peace and living freely. I imagine it would be endless suffering.
That's not true. The wealthiest people in the world are abusive as fuck. Is it possible she's swimming in mountains of debt that outweigh her value? It's entirely possible. But it certainly isn't a guarantee
Okay, now I am curious, how are password managers a pain in the ass to use? Mine has only made my life easier and better. Even my non-tech savvy wife (whose password was the "I forgot my password" button) uses bitwarden extremely smoothly. Her password game has made a full 180 with very little instruction from me.
Everything you listed are common sponsorships. I have never bought a YT sponsorship, so there's no argument there. But affiliate links are more than just those sponsored posts. Amazon is a commonly used affiliate program. For example, someone might link to the tools they use and like. I watched a carpenter who linked to the tools he used, and it was also an affiliate program. He wasn't paid by anyone to link them like a sponsorship, he was just sharing in his experience what tools he likes best. If I trust his judgement in tools, and want to buy the same ones, assuming camelcamelcamel shows it a good price and checking around doesn't find it cheaper, why wouldn't I want them to get a cut of that purchase?
I find AI to be really good at this kind of stuff. If you give it as much detail as you can, including random tidbits, it can often find exactly what you're looking for. I've done it a few times, and it's always found it with, what I believe, was not very good information. If it doesn't give it to you, just keep adding random pieces of information.
What you've provided doesn't quite seem like enough, because I tried it and didn't get much luck. The best it came up with was The Silent Age. Try answering these questions:
Was there narration
Was the protagonist male or female
How long ago did you play it? Like, was a game from 2 years ago too recent?
Are you confident it was from the last 10 years, or did you just play it from the last 10 years?
If it was point and click, were there normal animations? Like the character walking over to the thing you clicked?
As far as money goes, (according to the Forbes top list) Elon musk is by far the wealthiest individual in the states. Musk is at $244B and the next up is Bezos at $197B. There is a $47 billion gap between #1 and #2 in that list. And one of them is using their money for political gain much more than the others. The rat literally bought an entire social media platform to spew his own personal propaganda. The same rat who was on stage with Trump, and guess what, is now one of his top advisors. The ultra wealthy have invested insane amounts into political campaigns, but Musk is on another level.
A couple things, some of the plaintiffs listed appear to be business, and not users anyway. Regardless, I cannot imagine it would be difficult to find someone who made money via affiliate links and also never used honey
There aren't creators you like and think they deserve some of the cut? If there isn't an increase in price, then that just means less of the money is going to the business, and some of it is going to a creator you enjoy.
I wish it was true that nothing can be truly deleted on the internet. The reality is so very much has been posted and long since lost. There are some things I wish I could find traces of, but are likely lost to the vastness of the internet. Of course, you should treat everything like it cannot be deleted, but the reality is many things can, and have been, entirely deleted.
