And yet people still say "if you don't like ads, pay up" as if getting ads in a subscription is not a matter of time, like it's happening to streaming.

I'm not extremely against all of copyright because I believe artists should have some protections (though the law sucks at this), but I also believe that once something becomes a decades-old billion-dollar franchise, non-identical imitation should be fair game. Can you imagine what would happen if companies could simply say that they own whole genres?

A dumb oversight but an useful method to identify manufactured artificial manipulation. It's going to make social media even worse than it already is.

However logical it may or may not be, it's a reality. Just yesterday we got a stark reminder of how pervasive poor decisions are.

Also, simply "calling out" your boss and HR for making poor decisions is more likely to put them against you than to fix anything.

Frankly feels like this anti-DEI wave is more politically motivated than a matter of results.

We don't live in a perfect meritocracy where people are judged solely in grounds of their skills, we live in a society that is already prejudiced where a lot of minorities don't get the chance to prove themselves. There's studies proving how young white men are favored over any other demographics even when other people have equal or better resumes.

A couple years ago it wasn't thoroughly and transparently sucking off every bit of personal data it could get, and gearing up to put adds on the desktop on top of that.

You are underestimating how much bulshit people are willing to put up just to not have to make any change.

And here you are talking about homemade surgery when the topic of the day are pills and disability aids. All you have said in this thread is bait and switch.
