What is the logic behind Numbuh 1 being CN? I would clarify him as NG. He fights for the fair treatment of children around the world and upholds the values and rules of the KND.
I’ve seen this a lot recently. I’m guessing a certain social media platform is perpetuating this. Not sure if it’s the platform itself taking action against accounts using these words or if it’s the users themselves collectively deciding to censor these topics.
Either way it’s stupid to me how language is becoming increasingly taboo. We need to be more open to discussion not less so.
I’ve been seeing a lot of “trigger warnings” myself. Idk when we decided to treat triggers exactly how the professionals say they should not be treated, (triggers are supposed to be identified, but it is your responsibility to learn how to deal with it and navigate life not the world’s responsibility to cater to your every whim), but even so some of these “triggers” are patently ridiculous. On mastodon people are blurring pictures of dogs, cats, even fucking cartoons, for “eye contact.” With a picture. Of a cat. Shit has gone too far.
, but it is your responsibility to learn how to deal with it and navigate life not the world’s responsibility to cater to your every whim
Is warning people really catering to them? Maybe some people are learning how to deal with and the heads-up helps? Idk, that mastadon situation sounds ridiculous though. What instance is that from?
Tbh warning of “eye contact” be it humans depicted or otherwise is a bit much, as is “food” and probably some others I’ve seen I can’t recall. I can’t recall all the masto instances I’ve seen it from, it was standard practice before the Twitter people showed up. Some on the one I’m on even do it, though very few and rarely. Looks like it is less common now, but if you look around a bit you should still see it.
Tik Tok is the most aggressive. Saying Sex, kill, die or rape at all in your video has a pretty strong chance of getting your post hidden to varying degrees.
I think this is because they were getting lawsuits when their wonderful algorithms kept sending suicidal kids more info on suicide.
Dropping negative topics down the rankings is not a terrible idea, but it does lead to bonkers workarounds when people want to talk about it anyway and worry about keeping their social media metrics up.
Hiding all the engagement metrics would probably do wonders for a lot of teens mental health, as they become desperate to be influencers.
I think it’s more of a business decision. A lot of parents won’t let their kids on reddit (for good reason lol) but Tik tok actually does do an alright job of keeping age appropriate content off the platform, much tighter than most other social media sites. For my own interest I went looking for NSFW stuff on tik tok, the most intense I could find was some tame thirst traps, some national geographic style nudity (lots of discussion of adult themes, but I don’t think those are neccesarily a problem).
on any other social media site I’ve ever used, even with child mode or whatever I have been able to find beheadings and hardcore sex. That’s a pretty big selling point if you want to primarily attract children.
well it ain’t no PG TIPS but it will make a gallon of oddly flavored water cooked in the sun, which when chilled and enhanced with fresh lemon juice and served over ice, is dope
What’s called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It’s so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.
I’m aware of the existence and superiority of maple syrup. I only use Aunt Jemima in this example because that’s what oversweetened tea tastes like to me: shit.
Sweet tea can have as much sugar as soda. You would need to add 10-15 sugar packets to a single glass of iced tea to have the equivalent amount of sugar.
Not true about being able to only dissolve the sugar in hot tea, because if it was, the sugar would fall out once it cooled. You can dissolve the sugar into cold tea, it just takes more effort (so time and mixing) than doing it with hot tea and then cooling it. Cold water can hold approx. 1.7g of sugar per gram of water.
Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.
Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?
It isn’t. If you have to heat the water to get sugar to dissolve in it 1) you have too much sugar and 2) when it cools again the sugar will prwcipitate out. It is easier and quicker to dissolve in hot water tho, so if you’re impatient it may appear that the sugar won’t dissolve in cold water.
I know someone who has been having all sorts of medical problems for the last few years. In and out of ER every few days sometimes, always got discharged with “idk”
They finally did a biopsy and It came back cancer.
They’re probably fucked with mets as it took so long to diagnose. No full body scan yet but it’s not going to be good.
Jc it’s not about “”“political correctness”“” the idea is that social media websites either shadowban or suppress posts that contain content that isn’t advertiser friendly. So people censor swear words or references to death or sex.
Who even gives enough of a fuck to self-censor the central point of the idiotic drivel they posted from the shitter to maximize their impressions? Peak self-absorbedness or what?
