The same could be said for sending emails to a Gmail account. You won’t be forced to send messages to WhatsApp but you’d have the option. WhatsApp is popular where I live so having the ability to send messages to a WhatsApp account would be useful for me as I refuse to install or use any facebook apps.
I hear you on the sensitivity of border discussions, but think of Charlie Chaplin’s "The Great Dictator"—a film that used humour and satire to expose the absurdity of dictators. Its impact was significant, as it helped shift public opinion away from totalitarian ideals during a critical time. Let's keep making fun of the clown king and his henchmen.
I assume a lot of those down votes are from folks who never clicked the post and didn't realize that Detroit is north of the Detroit river. Maybe I need to work on my delivery, my wife does give me a lot of eye rolls. I still think we need to mock Trump and friends to stop their BS from becoming normalized
Misinterpreting the exaggerated proposal as a genuine endorsement of border changes is a fundamental misunderstanding of satire. The intent is to ridicule the absurdity of the idea, not to promote it. It’s ridiculous to suggest that a hyperbolic comment meant to expose flawed logic could be seen as support for actual policy revisions.
I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.
But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.
This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.
Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.
I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍
I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.
Interesting perspective but I would argue that the data speed is set to 0, not NULL. They change the speed from say 50Mbps to 0Mbps. And 0Mbps is slower than 50Mbps. And to be clear, I think it’s shitty behaviour by Freedom, I just think semantic debates like this are fun
