This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism
and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.
I hope we sometime soon move beyond discussing Twitter and its saboteur. There's so much more in tech happening than whatever headline he's trying to grab with his newest sabotage.
Overall I think the conversation needs to shift away from "Americans are divided" and instead be shifted towards "The rich are dividing the working class for their personal benefit". They're destroying the planet too. The rich need to be made responsible for what they are doing and suffer the consequences.
Similar situation. If there is something I'm researching I still add "reddit" onto my search criteria since otherwise google queries return nothing but ads and garbage SEO enhanced blogspam sites. I used to look at the dragonball, chainsaw man and one punch man subreddits when new issues were released, but I'm moving over to discord for those now.
Nothing wrong with argulaZ. They are bothering to read news.
"Hate speech is soaring on Twitter under Elon Musk, report finds"
I'm tired of hearing about him too but unfortunately Tesla and Twitter are high profile companies. When they are in the news, he is unfortunately associated.
I'm less concerned about the rebranding and more concerned about people shrugging their shoulders that one man is so rich he was able to buy one of the most influential communication companies of the century and crater it because it hurt his feelings, now allowing hate speech to run rampant on the site, but he still has so much cash to burn.
Do Republicans stand for anything besides rolling back progress? They never present any new legislation other than rolling back protections for non-white, non-rich, non-christian, non-males.
Everyone went to Threads to take a look at the brand new thing, but now everyone has seen the new thing they're gone.
And they can't delete their account without deleting their Instagram while also sending their phone's data, including health data, to Meta.
This seems to be on a much smaller scale than the initial plan, if I'm reading this correctly, and targets folks really in need. Mainly this seems to be targeting people who have decades old debt because they literally can't afford to pay back their loans - which seems totally fair. Many students took out loans with the promise from their peers and guardians that "college will be a worthwhile investment and you'll make your money back". That was obviously a lie for these borrowers as the price of tuition and stagnation of wages has guaranteed that promise is dead. This will ultimately be good for the economy and is an example of government working to help the people - so Republicans will hate it.
Apple doesn't give a shit. Any time a corporation "cares" it's for money-making potential only. Starbucks abandoned Pride as soon as it could have affected their profit margins.
lol Didn't some of the released hostages say Israel killed some of them due to their indiscriminate bombing of civilians?
