Quite possibly the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen.
Calm down.
The whole point of language is communication and being able to understand others and make yourself understood.
Considering that, most English speaking people would have absolutely no problem understanding the meaning of this post so it’s really not that big of an issue.
However, you do have a point about encouraging the use of good English in the sense that it allows for less confusion, but maybe if you came across of less of a pedantic porcupine who cares more about making fun of others than trying to give useful information then more people would be willing to listen to you.
Just like you were trying to make that point Deceptichum was trying to point out that people use different forms of language in different settings such as being more informal and loose with grammar on the internet, for example. Using their/there/they’re is much less worse than saying on accident instead of by accident.
I wish!
Yeah. Just to clarify, I didn’t mean to try to validate conspiracy theories like these and wasn’t suggesting that this guy is right, but that it’s wrong to ignore the large amount of data that closed source applications oftentimes do collect on you.
I mean they can watch and monitor your activity on their website, and are probably partnered with many other websites to collate data on your interests and beliefs to feed into a chunky advertising algorithm sooooo…
But you didn’t want to hear that, did you?
For some people, all semblance of rationality and respect for others disappears once they realise they’re anonymous and behind a screen, causing topics with nuance and complexity which deserve to be debated and discussed properly, to be reduced into morally black and white issues. Instead of making any logical arguments, groups of people will just say “If you disagree, you suck” and so it spirals.
I have a joke, but it’s not funny.
Although it looks like you’re mainly focusing on single player games, Titanfall 2 is a great alternative to Call of Duty. Its movement is insane, it’s fanbase isn’t toxic and it’s actually fun.
As if it needed to be said.
Aside from the pay in this case (which is obviously unacceptable) content moderation is just a terrible job in general, because with people being people, horrible stuff will always inevitably be uploaded to the internet. This is one job where I think it would actually be good to have AI take over when it reaches that point.
I hope I’m not alone in finding it utterly ridiculous that a company can literally hold rights over a single letter.
You’re right. I wasn’t really using my critical thinking skills when I posted this lol. Do you suggest I edit the post or just delete it altogether?
Yeah, that’s true. I also noticed they don’t really have any other articles so probably aren’t incredibly trustworthy.
Most people just don’t even realise despite everything that all of these huge corporations are tracking their every move and, of those that do, many do not see or simply refuse to acknowledge the dangerous implications of handing people like Mark and Elon what are, in many cases, essentially the keys to their personal lives.
As if most Hollywood blockbusters couldn’t get soulless enough.
