Ivermectin could be dangerous in some instances, like a severe tapeworm infestation. Killing off all of the cysts throughout the body at once can send a person into shock! In less severe cases, the parasitic die off can still be very unpleasant, including diarrhea. Ivermectin could also be completely ineffective for a given condition, potentially delaying necessary treatment.
There, that's the anti-Ivermectin take.
And this is how company culture gets filtered and standards set so the jannies are in lockstep.
They rebranded to "Therians". Because "Other" was too dehumanizing I guess. kek
Not so sure if the content quality was better. Prior to the dot com boom (and bust) the internet had very little content compared to now. The highlight was practically IRC. Today you can stream 4k content off the web and it's much easier to find content and there's way more of it.
Ads suck, I'm not going to argue that. I included some reasons why ads suck in my previous post. But it's hard to argue that they aren't contributing to making better quality content and making it accessible. Just because some shit exists out there doesn't mean the entirety of the modern internet is a failure. Just learn how to apply some filters to get the good stuff. That's what scored.co's algorithm is after all, it's a filter to help us find quality content.
And it would be incredibly naive to think the admins of this site weren't putting in all of this effort to make a functional and attractive site if making some coin by selling it off (to someone that would put ads on it) wasn't on the table.
That's not how they sold it. They promised the moon when it first came out. Stopping the spread, getting back to normal, etc.
This isn't entirely wrong. Without payment, content is much more sparse and lower budget and ad blockers reduce revenue. Of course, the real problem isn't so much ads as the ads being insufferable and far too often an avenue for malware. And this itself is a result of execs misunderstanding online ads; online ads can track engagement but often these are massively weighted at the expense of the original purpose of ads which was exposure and this weighting leads to ads being made more and more intrusive and annoying to target metrics to make out of touch executives happy.
It's a complex topic.
Anxiety in kids is real.
The treatment: recess.
Putting kids in a desk for 6-8 hours and then asking them to do more shit at home is ridiculous. Then there's all of the standardized testing that makes the teachers anxious because those tests determine whether they keep their jobs so they teach a test shit and pass their anxiety on to the kids.
Discord is taking the place of Facebook, especially for zoomers. I don't know where redditors are going to, but reddit seems to be more bots than ever before.
The reddit exodus is still underway. It's not quite as dramatic, but it's happening. Facebook is failing to hook the younger generation too.
Adulthood used to start at 15. It's a relatively modern push to force kids to learn the skills necessary to be productive in a factory. Delaying kids also means they have more time to work. All about the money.
Yes. If people stop leaving Twitter, there will be less adoption of alt tech like Gab or Mastodon.
Twitter has a huge advantage via the network effect and even with the rampant censorship they still haven't overplayed their hand and sabotaged their product ala Digg has.
Hey Jim, that sounds like a slippery slope.
Yes but you seem to have gotten to the bottom of the culture.
Blacks do speak out against this shit all of the time but they're always dismissed as "uncle toms" or "internalized racism". Literally non-blacks telling them to sit down and shut up. 🤣
Who groomed you, Jim?
And if you do go to the hospital, they give you remsedivir and put you on a ventilator and they hope you turn into a cash pinata by expiring.
Should be was/were
We used to call the retard dumb because that was the term for retards. Then that word was deemed bad so the medical term changed to idiot. So people started calling retards idiots. That term too was deemed problematic so they changed it to retard. Now that word is problematic so people use smoothbrain or brainlet which mean the same damn thing but those words haven't been cancelled yet. And most of the people that proclaimed dumb and idiot to be problematic so those words are fair game again.
Stop trying to police speech and just realize some people really are dumb, idiotic, and retarded.
Hollywood is an incredibly insular bunch that is very racist and xenophobic. They hate Apu (And Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima and more) because they hate minorities and the use all sorts of crap to dress their hatred up in woke nonsense that idiot normies lap up. They don't know much about other cultures and actively hate them.
And none of those tribes are Sub Saharan African.
Freedom of speech is a rich field where the strongest ideas grow. These parasites only succeed because healthy ideas have been uprooted or poisoned. The great firewall of China is like this, intended to choke specific ideas so nothing can compete with the Party.
Smaller firewalls serve a very different purpose.
Anything successful acts as a beacon, drawing parasites to it. A healthy immune system is necessary to keep them out. That immune system has been branded "far right wing" to make people shy away from the concept of shunning parasites!
What does the plus stand for?
Attacking the men is just part of general demoralization.
