Did you just not read anything in my post? A nuke you can't use isn't a deterrent. It's a risk to yourself.

Again, it's not about links or about comments. It's about the focus of the content. My friend, I have been shitposting on the Internet quite likely longer than you've been alive, so no, I'm not ignoring the content. And I was on Facebook for the best part of a decade so no, no shame there either.

But Usenet isn't social media. Forums aren't social media. Comment boxes aren't social media. The term came about when people started friending and following and tagging each other and generally caring who the other person is - without which all of these previous examoles are just more chatrooms and forums. If Social Media is literally just communicating in any way on the Internet, then the term is useless.

I don't think you're getting me.

The Swedish company is one you are probably familiar with - Securitas. Its quite literally not the same power structure, and completely different shit. They aren't hunting outlaws. They arent union-busting. They are people you send to someones house when you dont want to involve the police. They didn't intimidate the guy - he him himself described the interaction as "very nice, very apologetic". Remind me again how interactions with American police usually go?

And no, they definitely had a case. The guy obtained unreleased cards (ie stolen) "from an acquaintance" and then refused all attempts to contact him by WotC. Do you think WotC should have sent police to his door? Would that have been a better loom for them?

First of all, through the goddess all things are possible, so jot that down.

They share them as a once off. Very occasionally you'll get the "Update: MIL stole our baby" posts, but mostly it doesn't matter (and shouldn't matter) who is posting the content. In social media, who is posting matters.

You have the oddities on Reddit occasion like that terrible poet and the comic lady that has her OF simps brigade her posts, but just look at how utterly useless and rejected all of Reddit's attempts to turn it into social media are: follows, journals, chat - features of genuine social media but done poorly and with the wrong audience who distinctly Don't want to follow personalities.

Ukraine neither had control of those nuclear weapons, nor the ability to maintain them. It is probably for the best for humanity that they were removed. This is acknowledged by ICANW.

Because by that criteria every web page that's ever had a comment box is "social media".

Social media to me is, as the guy said, defined by the fact that you're following a person/persona, not a topic.

This site and other sites like it are link aggregators. If you wanted to, you could use and contribute to a link aggregator without ever writing or indeed reading a comment.

Nope. There are modern humans (homo sapiens) and archaic humans (extinct homo species).

Good boy Woody. Now, get the other invasive species.

Now I want them to do The Chain but with trumpets

lol no

Imagine being so privileged as to be able to just deal with 4 years of Trump in the hope that somehow the message heard will be "oop should've given us a better candidate, Dems!" and not "well fuck we'd better go even further right to keep up".
