People underestimate how dangerous and contagious Excited Delirium is! Cops all across America are putting their lives on the line trying to stop it spreading, which is why almost all those diagnosed with it die in their custody. It's not like they and the corporation that makes tasers would invent a disease to avoid liability for homicides! Come on! It's a very real condition. If the past two years have shown us anything, it's that if you can trust anyone to take a pandemic seriously, it's cops and corporations!
The end goal for Squenix, Ubisoft and others is to have games be moneymaking and content engines like Roblox, where they don't need to pay most of the people working on their product, they have an army of underage serfs producing most of the content in the hopes of making money at some point down the line. Millions of kids more time, effort and real world money into the system gambling on collectable items, which are NFTs in all but blockchain usage. On the rare occasion they code something that makes them enough in game currency to cash out, nine times out of ten they'll pour it straight back into the game because they have poor judgement, being kids and all, with the company getting a big cut of every single transaction. It's bleak as f**k.
These companies don't want to make games, they want to be IP farms where the players do everything they should be paying professionals to do, while they sit back and watch the cash roll in. They'll still find ways to slash their workforces once a year, even when running largely on user contributions, because capitalism.
Oh boy, I sure don't see this ending with tens of thousands of schools, charities, churches, hospitals and small businesses ending up with massive power bills and burnt out equipment because greedy IT people turned on crypto mining on as many computers as they can in the hopes that nobody would notice.
'Your honour, talking out of backsides is a key part of being a conservative, therefore forcing our way into the capitol building and smearing excrement on the walls is freedom of speech!'
Don't worry, they'll slow walk any full roll out in the hopes America will have another aneurysm and elect a republican as they'll quietly scrap anything that leads to accountability.
Gettr, like most conservative platforms eventually do, realised that if you have people like Fuentes and his followers on your platform, running around completely mask off, it scares away the normies. As the various .win banned subreddit clones, Parler and other right wing sites have discovered, you struggle to maintain traffic without an audience to either troll or recruit, and you end up with a few dozen people talking to themselves.
Facebook and Twitter Management hate conservatives so much that Zuckerberg held off the record meetings with the Trump Whitehouse and Trump megadonor Peter Thiel is a board member. Facebook management hate Conservatives so much Joel Kaplan helped to steal the 2000 election for Bush, appeared in public to support Bret Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearings, associated with Roger Stone. served in the Bush administration and is actively working to both damage left wing news providers and block any attempt to lessen the damage Facebook is causing. Twitter management hated conservatives so much they gave Trump free reign to say whatever he liked no matter what rules he violated, letting him rile up mobs and rule by tweet using their platform and only acting when his supporters attacked the capitol and they were left with no choice but to act.
Conservatives could turn social media into conservative dominated AM talk radio (Facebook is already most of the way there) and they would still cry about being silenced because the left haven't been silenced entirely. You don't want fairness from any platform. you want everyone to shut up and say nothing as you toss around lies, slurs and conspiracies.
He recorded himself hanging out with members of far right groups and burning a Black Lives Matter flag with them in 'honour' of the Proud boys leader who had been arrested for doing the same thing so any even without prior court orders against him, any pretense he was there acting as a 'journalist' was out of the window before the insurgency had begun.
Come on Judge, how are they going to catch criminals if they can't loot and destroy the homes of potential suspects and salt the earth to make sure nothing will grow? You can't expect them to do their job with one hand tied behind their backs!
