      Jc it’s not about “”“political correctness”“” the idea is that social media websites either shadowban or suppress posts that contain content that isn’t advertiser friendly. So people censor swear words or references to death or sex.

        Who even gives enough of a fuck to self-censor the central point of the idiotic drivel they posted from the shitter to maximize their impressions? Peak self-absorbedness or what?

      I’ve seen this a lot recently. I’m guessing a certain social media platform is perpetuating this. Not sure if it’s the platform itself taking action against accounts using these words or if it’s the users themselves collectively deciding to censor these topics.

      Either way it’s stupid to me how language is becoming increasingly taboo. We need to be more open to discussion not less so.

        I watch a news show on YouTube that censored “human trafficking” in an article excerpt. Really stupid to have social media policing news

    well, no, over the same 17 years it could be guessed that hundreds of millions of people have died from eating too many donuts across the world

      People around the world don’t eat donuts regularly. At least not enough so that hundreds of millions would die of them. Sorry dear usian

    The first sentence makes it sound like there was one weight lifting accident at the gym that lasted 17 years.

      I took it to mean that there was a stretch of 17 years when everything was fine but then one day, disaster struck.

      In a span of 17 years 114 people died in a weight lifting accident at the gym.

      In the same 17 year time frame only one man died while eating a doughnut.

      Life is about the choices we make. Educate yourself.
