Hahahahahaha
Fuck'em
But the pendant in me points out that the company didn't change an internal policy for what they consider mental illness, just now theyre allowing ~~hate speech~~ "free* speech"
Now I wonder if that would pass muster as a legal argument - meta doesn't necessarily believe this as our policy, but we allow people to express their hate on this platform
The pedant in me points out that you misspelled "pedant".
No, after a harrowing run-in with the Witch of the Swamp, they had a talisman embedded in their chest that forces them to warn people when they need to be both pragmatic and somber.
So it literally is the pendant in them.
