TIL that it’s actually the protests that are ruining countries. Thank the lord for our based government who banned them, then.

I hated that part of their post. Couldn’t they at least have said, “no better than USA” ?

Apple don’t feel the need to give excuses in situations like this. They know you’re an edge case and your complaints will be so much piss in the ocean. Meanwhile else gets to talk about how great the new unreadable ui is. That skeleton at the bottom of the swimming pool meme could work here.

No, that is actually the vice president of the USA.

How many of those are developing smartphones?

If you want specific, I found this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1354856520938602

Many of the people who go into the military actually believe they are going to do good things for the world but are ignorant of how much evil they will be asked to do most of the time

This level of ignorance is not only dangerous, it’s close to inexcusable in the 21st century.

nuclear program in a State that exports hate and has expansionist tendencies

authoritarian misogynist culture that covers and harms women

backwards disordered men living in fantasies killing in the name of an entity they have never had a conversation with

Do you not see the irony in your words, here?

Hate the game, not the player. Or both, your choice.

English would benefit from using tilde and other inflection marks, especially to help non natives predict syllable stress.

Having words from multiple languages integrated into English means it’s difficult to predict how words will be pronounced.

This happened to me when I signed up again to report a fraudster in my local area’s subreddit. I was instantly shaddowbanned, without any messages or warnings sent to me. I was unable to post or up/down vote. I contacted their ‘support’ over it and just got all my messages ignored, or maybe they weren’t even received.

Yeah, but so is price gouging, layoffs, enshitification and shrinkflation.

It’s impossible to imagine that those in business are not idiots that don’t believe in DEI.

We know what it is to live free

Dysfunctional American English

I think one difference it makes, to answer your question, is that unsubstantiated claims like this tend to spread, virus like. Especially when pedalled by presidents and official government agencies. Many governments handled the pandemic predictably awfully, but this false narrative can have dangerous consequences, too. I’m worried about the number of times I’ve seen ‘plandemic’ spoken about. It gives me the impression that simply through repetition the meme grew stronger. But now it’s being echoed by_official statespeople. _
