  Good question!

  Truth is USA only, so X has a much broader reach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This comment will make me sound like an idiot, but I’m just coming to believe that all of Musk’s decisions with X were targeted to this very outcome. To be the world’s centre of alt right propaganda. It just makes too much sense now.

  Haha guilty as charged.

  Feels like simply teaching media literacy would do this job. Is that what they mean? I thought that was a given in any English curriculum.

  Of all the ideas for a Star Trek boardgame, they chose this one? Discovery continues to perplex.

  Regarding Apple and privacy? It’s well documented. Bing it. If you don’t want to, you didn’t feel like knowing more lol.

  Since launch I’ve had to download two patches already. I’m playing on ps5 so it’s uncertain whether they’d help you or not, but that’s all to say that you may be able to play sooner than later since they’re offering so much post-release support.

  Thanks for the high quality and good faith comment.

  But Remedy fan so picked this up day one thanks to positive reviews. While I enjoy it, it suffers from the same problem I felt from Alan Wake 1: the combat is too hard and not that fun. Looks like I’ll be preferring the easy difficult again. That’s okay, still a confident and strong game so far.

  Please elaborate.

  Oh really? Then I’m going to guess you won’t like it since it has changed and kept changing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Discovery | Fifth and Final Season - Extended Clip | SDCC 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yesn’t?

  It kinda improved but it’s also Star Trek discovery still so your mileage will depend on how you feel about that.

  I believe you’re referring to the way some teenagers will brag about it covertly to their friends. Make no mistake, while on the surface it may appear as you say, that’s just the veneer of confidence they’re wearing that belies deeper inner turmoil. I won’t try to unpack what those turmoils are as they are different for everyone and I speak not as a psychological professional but as a professional educator.

  What I encourage you to consider is the level of complexity people are burdened by and that when people with awful turmoil enter into your life, even just for a brief moment, that they should be first met with authentic empathy and care before cynicism as the stakes of treating these subjects with anything less are far too severe.
