How can you consider Catholic schools "independent"?

And the idea isn't too get rid of those schools, it's to use the money that usually goes to these schools to fund regular public schools instead.

Eh.

This "everything else" are stuff that previously didn't even exist. There used to be only professional tools and a few games, now you have an app (or multiple apps) for everything.

And I'll take a garbage program over one that doesn't exist.

This is the reason why those scams are so successful:

"Hi this is the CEO, wire $10000 to this account right now, we need it there yesterday. I don't have time to talk, just do it. Bye"

Owners. The executives' main job, and the reason they get paid so much, is to shift any blame away from the owners.

It's not just the logo, the domain name is extremely similar too (x.com vs x.org).

Big brands like to own all variants of their domain (so you can't register google.org or facebook.net, for example). But X can't do that.

Yeah, that's just the modern way of talking.

Tankies just hate the west, they don't have principles.

They do have a principle: "The cruelty is the point". This is usually used for far-right groups, who use conservatism as an excuse to hurt people, but it applies just as well to those who use anti-US sentiment to hurt people.

I don't know the song, are the "wrong people" shooting kids or holding hands with a person of the same gender?

I have a hunch it's the latter, but I want to have some hope.

Every platform is nice at the start, for mainly the reason you say: people who join early have an interest in the platform, so we actually try to keep it nice.

Then every successful new platform gets its own eternal september. A large influx of people who don't care about the platform at all, they just want to use it to talk to people. And of these, yes many are still nice people, but also many aren't.

You see this in all kinds of communities, not just online. If you're in a new or niche hobby, everybody there will have an interest in improving the hobby and the small community, so it will probably be very nice. When it gets mainstream (I'm looking at MTG here, but other people probably know other examples) then it starts to attract people who do nothing but complain.

No there wouldn't.

If any sitting politician shared pictures of naked Trump's daughter, we already know who that politician would be. And his supporters would thank him.
