Another one of those frustrating segments where they come so close to being right but miss the point entirely by the end. The diagnosis of the issues young people face is on point, but the answer to most of the problems mentioned is not civics courses. It's redistribution of wealth and providing access to housing and social mobility to young people.
WhatsApp is a huge vector for misinformation across the world. This is exactly the kind of specific demand people should be making of them to force some level of responsible behaviour
Africa: Liberates itself from imperialist colonisation in the decades after after WWII
USA: Takes advantage of the post-war European Imperialist vacuum to go and do some imperialism for itself in Latin America, Asia and later the Middle-East
You missed the part where you were supposed to make a joke. The top of this thread is someone asking how I would choose to dress in my 70s. My answer being 'not like Mick Jagger' led to you getting in a huff about how much sex he's had justifying his choices. It wasn't a joke, but if that was the intention it was poorly executed. Not sure what anyone has to gain by being so defensive about a man who's been world famous for about 6 decades, though
I'm really not. If you read my original comment you'll see I was speaking hypothetically about how I would dress in my 70s: i.e. for comfort and not to look appealing to the opposite sex. You made this a weird conversation about how much sex this guy is having and what other male celebrities they're rumoured to have slept with
Wilt Chamberlain was putting numbers up too but he wasn't wearing his 70s shorts and a headband to attract to women into the '90s.
Do you really think Mick Jagger can't get laid unless he's dressed like it's Halloween and he's going as himself? This is about reliving their youth and not being willing to accept the passage of time. I think you open yourself up to satire if you're a public figure who has such glaring insecurities
People think that because you can build a Spotify clone with two sticks and a heroku subscription it must not need a lot of people to work on. It's what Elon said about Twitter prior to buying it and gutting all the features.
These apps are first and foremost businesses with legal, HR, and all sorts of other roles before you get to product. And the products are so mature, so complex, that you need dozens of teams to cover the entire thing
This kind of thing is going to ruin so many lives before society learns to adapt to the new normal.
But it's tough because who wouldn't want a school board to err on the side of caution if there was an audio leak of a principle saying worrying racist shit? Or worse, what if someone made one look like a paedo? Every parent want them out before asking questions, just to be safe
That song came out just 6 months ago (Oct 2023) and was number one on the charts. A ton of young people will have heard that and been influenced on some level by it, so the Apple fanboy/android hater thing probably won't be going away any time soon
China takes a protectionist stance towards many industries, whereas the US claims, not entirely correctly, to be a bastion of free trade. I'm not sure US citizens want their government taking cues from the CCP either
This isn't an anti-trust case, it's just anti-China posturing and lobbying from Meta and friends bearing fruit. Google and Meta will fight for the users and their monopolies will grow even more menacingly bloated
This was a fascinating read
