How many negatives can a title contain? I honestly cannot tell if the ruling is a good or bad thing.

If only there were a way to stop using Google. Alas…


CBS aired it, just like Goebbels would’ve liked.


You’re not suggesting the automated mailing of speeding tickets based on average speed is reasonable, are you?


I thought for Taco Bell, diarrhea was a feature not a bug.
Are you under the impression that the only way things happen is by direct vote on the issue? Nearly everything you cite is a result of the elected officials in power. Put there by the voters.
You’re citing examples of other forms of redress, not disproving the effectiveness of voting. I never claimed voting was the only (or even the most effective) form of redress, only that it is one.
Don’t bother responding, you have nothing of value to offer other than your absurd soapbox.
I don’t accept the premise that voting has never led to change.
It isn’t the end all and be all, it is the first step. If you don’t take the opportunity given to you to address your grievances, why should you expect others to do it for you?
WhatsApp has market share from the momentum gained in countries that didn’t have free/cheap SMS. I too find it wild that it’s the default in most of the world, and it’s super shady and super proprietary. The messaging that we have in the US is far far far from perfect, but at least it’s not Facebook Chat.


I do not think I’m immune from disinformation, which means I try very hard to use critical thinking at all times. I’m suggesting they should have as well.


Failure to adequately address homelessness is a policy failure, and worthy of critique. It is not an atrocity caused by those people.


At some point you have to allow them their agency. They are adults, and only one of us is treating them as such.


I’m not arguing for either, although taxing/eating the rich should always be on the table.
I’m saying that while in the macro sense disinformation has had a devastating effect on society, I’m not ready to let those “fooled” by it off the hook. It’s the 2020s, if you’re fooled by disinformation to this degree, you’ve let yourself be fooled.


That’s letting them off the hook.


I think you need to go look up what an atrocity is.


That is an extremely good point, and does expose my bias (I live in California, but ironically dual Canadian citizen). I’ll lightly edit the comment using the ISO-3166 code for California (respectfully for you, because as much of a fan of ISO standards as I am, I’d not heard of 3166. Thanks).


“Atrocities”, really? Did you bring that evidence to share with the class?
Sure. Not here, though.
