A thread for updates on the various ways the internet is destroying everything and the undying hellsites of social media. Let's all laugh at the abyss.
Half or just over $20 billion
420 blazin
So how high will the settlement be?

I switched to iOS in large part due to that cross-app tracking block.
It has been criticized for being imperfect, but it's clearly having a dramatic impact.
Apple may leverage privacy controls as a competitive advantage rather than out of any deep-rooted altruism, but it's still a position that I will earnestly vote for with my dollars.
On the drive into the office today, I saw graffiti advertising the website "VirusesAreNotContagious.com"
Which.... y'all.
Nope.
There are conspiracy nutters who deny basic germ theory. In their bizarro universe, "viruses" in the body are created by disease rather than causing disease.
While the depths of human stupidity on display across the Internet rival that of the Marianas Trench, the audacious ignorance on display in this group is truly stunning. In the group's current take on germ theory denialism, bacteria are merely scavengers and are a symptom of disease. Viruses are considered cellular debris and cannot cause disease or transmit from one person to another.

basic germ theory
Why did you give them their next thing, bro?

That’s already a thing. Most common narrative I see is that germs exist but are incapable of affecting humans in any adverse way and all illnesses attributed to germs/bacteria/etc are actually due to poor diet and environmental factors. The same people tend to argue that viruses don’t exist at all, have never been observed or isolated, and are just a conspiracy by the medical community.
Bloody f*cking hell. Seriously? Rejecting the germ theory of disease now?
Do your own research! (tm)
I don’t know if there’s already a Rule 34 equivalent for conspiracy theories, but basically if something exists there’s probably a couple thousand people on the internet claiming it doesn’t exist.
You know... I wonder if there is any effort on the left to go into these information warfare sites for the express purpose of turning people on eachother. Log into antivaxxing or Q websites and turn them on Faux news. Get new media to declare war on old, and so on. Start out on the Q site and turn them on something that Faux really loves, then log into 4 or 8chan and turn them on something ancillary to something that Q loves. Set up digital false flag OPs to turn these trolls on one another.
You wouldn't be able to directly turn them against one another... at first, but once all parties are fully engaged just turn up the heat till everything explodes.
If we want to "win" our country back we may have to engage in the same sh*tty, evil tactics as they're using on the world at large.
Just a crazy ass, prolly stupid thought.

Yes, although typically it's called "trolling." subreddits like r/selfawarewolves have to be careful because sometimes the posts they pick end up being too perfectly Poe's Law-ish and end up being lefty trolls. Also, since the human race is wonderfully diverse, it's more or less impossible to tell the difference between lefty trolls sowing discord among right wing media and right wing trolls sowing discord among the same groups.
This is one of those times when it actually is appropriate to say "both sides," too, since the entire #Walkaway campaign is a coordinated version of the opposite -- right wing trolls posing as lefties and infiltrating liberal spaces to sow discord.

I'm not surprised it was contested originally, that's generally how it goes with new theories, but I am genuinely disturbed that GTD denialism has persisted ever since. Not terribly surprised that chiropractic "medicine" has overlap with GTD denialism though.

So *checks notes* Would be ineffective and... may blow up in our faces. Check.
So, they came up with Lucy, who is "forever 29 years old."
The next one's gonna be "forever 15 years old".
