Monopolies for modern necessities (the internet and phone) don't have to worry about customer retention.
Here's the quotes:
SWOB President Tom Sunderman expressed concern in a statement:
"Doing this for 28 years, what we have worried about is a boys team losing to a girls team (especially in the year end tourney), they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl." "Then we have liability issues.” Prez, a social media user on X (Formerly Twitter), didn't buy it.
"What he meant to say was they can’t have their boys being emasculated by a better girls team… it would be a blow to their developing manhood to get beat by girls."
What context am I missing?
They're tankies, some of the most bizarre idiots around.
It was already established. It's just a theoretical framework in various social studies. It was deliberately bastardized by the right as they were seeking something to hate. It wasn't even in the public consciousness, just something academics used and that get taught in some higher ed classes. It's a very useful framework but it's not something that you'd actually teach a kid.
Did they? I had one of the top non-porn accounts actually run by a person (most high karma accounts use bots, I didn't out of ironic laziness) and I haven't posted or commented since whenever Day 0 was for rif is fun. I've been back a couple times for very specific things but not logged in or participating in any active way. Of course, I'm just one (high karma) data point, but I really don't think I'm unique in this. I also have no real desire to contribute to Reddit again in the future. Getting off of it has been pretty nice.
Look, it's not that people aren't still posting, the site obviously still has content, but it really is just "content." The quality of discussion I've seen has gone down pretty steep. Modding appears to be almost nonexistent in big subs or very agenda-driven otherwise. I think a lot of contributors who treated Reddit like old school forums have left and it's slowly turning into a weird combo of Facebook and 4chan if that makes sense. If that's what the userbase wants, go for it, I guess. But that's not my jam.
Really hope those are permanent homes and there aren't any that get returned.
Israel has nukes and is run by nutjobs. They won't use nukes in Gaza, it's too close to Israeli cities. But there's no telling what they'll do the further away a conflict gets.
They weren't dispatching military assets to settle their neighboring territories.
What exactly do you think happened in the Western Front in WWII?
It's her voice and she's the client. The lawyers can't file without her okaying it. She's also a pretty solid businessperson, she took on Disney and won.
Perhaps start by learning how to spell Sikh before passing judgment on them.
It happens all the time, a lot of things get handled this way because the infrastructure still needs to be fixed in a reasonable timeline.
