Okay, well, that explains why you're upset about it.

Signed, shareholder.

Not quite. They didn't cut wages, they just didn't raise them as fast, and it wasn't a conspiracy, but just the result of vastly more people entering the workforce. If you have more people competing for the same amount of jobs, you can get away with paying them less.

Why don't you make an actual argument instead of calling mine "low grade shit"?

Just because you found what I said offensive doesn't make it any less true.

If you like comfortable echo chambers and rigorous banning of people you don't agree with, why don't you just stay on reddit?

How so? Except for the final mission I guess.

If you only play it for the story, they all have the same amount of linearity. The real value is in the exploration and replayability, doing all the missions again to see what you’ve missed.

Is it just me or does it smell like whataboutism in here?

Women DID fight for the right to be able to do this. That’s not a conspiracy theory. They insisted on it.

Women asked for this. No, they demanded it. Even if it came at the cost of making it harder for men to find jobs.

Basically, Musk is alleging is that they claimed this was a common practice when it was, in fact, extremely rare.

In his tweet about this he said that out of 5.5 **billion ** ad impressions that day, less than 50 were objectionable according to Media Matter's criteria. In other words, there was a 1 in 100 million chance that a normal user would randomly see something like this.

For comparison, the following things have about a 1 in a million chance of happening (i.e. are 100 times more likely):

  • flipping a coin 20 times, getting tails every single time
  • winning the PowerBall lottery if you buy six tickets a week for a year
  • a devastating earthquake occurring in Seattle within the next 5 hours

I just read the MM piece and it doesn't appear to make any specific claims about how frequently this might have happened, it merely says "We recently found ads for Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity, and IBM next to posts that tout Hitler and his Nazi Party on X." and that "X has been placing ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content." which does indeed appear to be factual since it makes no claims about frequency, so I guess we'll see if the court is convinced that it was defamatory. It certainly seems to be the truth, but not the whole truth.

If it turns out they really DID have to create 100 million page views in order to find a single questionable ad placement, and they failed to mention that, you could make the case that they were intentionally trying to hurt his business.

Yes, I believe that's the allegation made in the lawsuit, that they intentionally manipulated the algorithm in order to engineer this ad placement.

At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I think the word "titta" being used in this context plays a significant role in making this as funny as it is. It just wouldn't be as funny if it was, say, Spanish ("mira") or French ("regarde").
