It is unfair to represent this capital as "burned." It was used to pay people and buy things, exactly as it was supposed to be, and now it is presumably in the hands of smarter people who will do something better with it. That is good. You want this. Out of Zuckerberg's hands, into someone else's.
That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

the people working on banning & censoring content dont make the distinction; you making it buys you the "useful for now" label. thats it.

its the same as trying to appear as the 'acceptable kind of queer' to anti-queer people, youre selling out your allies to temporarily appease your enemies.
As a pornographer myself, I feel... weird about creators who make distinctions between porn and other adult/sexual content. If you defend porn, your work will ALSO be defended. Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with us. You're gonna end up here anyway.
there is plenty of sexual content on steam. the problem isn't that valve is denying sexual content (though, as a near-monopoly, that would also be a problem) it's that valve is denying specifically sexual content that is non-pornographic, most notably in the horror genre.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I will never forget seeing a Black family who had taken the kids out to play on the big block of stone on which a statue of I forget which Confederate general stood just the night before. Sheer delight.
In Maryland, it's only been in the last decade or so that we've managed to dump our Taney statues. It would be nice to think that if there's a republic that survives, its rescuers won't cast any of Roberts to hang around, shaming us for a century or more.
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

People ignore how much this is led by admin sclerosis and 4chan R interns wanting to brag to their chat buddies in Europe that they are gonna save them from the globalist filth

Much of all public online nature of this admin is that all interns are Nazi /pol/ posters
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Yep. This is abuse. It's a transparent attempt at manipulation and control. He WANTED her to not only be afraid to show him such things, but to have them at all - because he might find them, and he would use the apparatus of the state to respond.
Writers, especially women/femmes/nbs:

If you have a partner who does this, DUMP THEM. This isn't "uwu I was worried about you, baby🥺" This is a scheming asshole move to control you. He wants you to be a good tradwife and take care of babies and make dinner, not write YOUR stories. REMOVE HIM

Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.
It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.

Great place to start your stock asset collection. Buy them BEFORE you need them.

Great licensing terms too, no credit required. I ilke this because there's no WRONG way to give credit, MANDATORY credit makes me anxious that maybe I'll do it wrong and they'll get mad.
