So based off of that comment alone and the context surrounding it, do you truly believe their intent was to be misogynistic or were they using slang to emphisize their frustration while calling Biden a coward?

I am fairly certain “pussy” is slang for pusillanimous. Can it be used misogynisticly, yes. Was that the intent here, I don’t think so based off the context.
Oh no! Big tech company bought out my barely functioning, small, energy inefficient AI business! Whatever will I do with these wads of cash!
More watch time/interaction = more algorithm training and ad exposure. I would imagine the profits will outweigh the expenses, especially if the pay is $1 for every 50 watched videos or something.
Most likely people downloading malware.
I am very worried about who they are planning on hiring as “Poll Watchers”.
Situation investigation/rundown from a cyber security expert.
Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!
Yes. I got mine on 🤡.
Ah yes, the good old, “Leave the disease alone and see what happens” tactic. I wonder if it will just go away this time?
From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.
Sounds like just the kinda company we need to get into the Fediverse!
Well I have news for you, https://finalspaceends.com/
It probably won’t be done for a while, but it is actively being worked on.
Final Space, kinda like a better Rick and Morty. Not an amazing series and it definitely did not age well, but it has it’s moments.
Regardless of philosophy, what you experience is real to you. I try to live in a way where I can just enjoy life without negatively impacting others. Much of what is seen as “success” is a social construct. Obviously, this is not possible for everyone in this silent recession. Hopefully that changes within the next few years, but my hopes aren’t too high. But yeah, if this is a persistent feeling and not a worldview thing, hit up a therapist.

When news sources start saying shit like, “The economy is great, you kids just need to stop buying stuff and save for a house!” “The war in Gaza…” (seems pretty damn one sided to be a war.) “Biden is trying his best to protect women’s rights!” (We can tell by the lack of action on the various tracking and criminalization of women’s choices in deep red states) People start looking elsewhere for news that reflects the world we live in vs the obvious propaganda we are seeing from major news sources.

Agreed, something is 100x better than nothing.
Yeah, I guess I can see your point. I was under the impression that a lot more people were aware of the root of that word. I grew up reading a lot of books, so I guess that factored into my view. Thanks for the perspective, I am all for phasing out legitimately problematic language.
