We need neutral platforms where content will not be punished because of political agendas. If content doesn't align with a progressive viewpoint, at best FB/Twitter/YT/IG ignore it, more commonly they ban/block/derevenue it.
Context is everything. The things you're talking about are innocuous with no negative loading or reputation.
Facebook isn't innocuous and has a high negative load and reputation. Tack the word "secret" in front of some internal research they did and it puts a darker shade on something every company does (internal research).
“Kellogg’s secret research to make cereal taste better”
“Tesla’s secret battery program”
Neither has negative connotation to me.
Like you said, I think it’s because Facebook regularly acts unethically in public view. Anything they do in secret or private will be viewed with even more suspicion.
I think it's the interplay between both the words, especially considering that Facebook's scandals are privacy related, it might subconsciously trigger some sort of negative reaction when you hear that they are keeping secrets (though that's obviously not what's going on here)
Huh. My experience is the opposite. Somehow my Discover Weekly was mostly mariachi bands for a month. Finally told it I didn’t like enough of them that it got the hint. Now it’s overloaded with Scandinavian adult contemporary or something. It’s like all the other algorithms from one I’ve seen: listen to something accidentally that’s in a niche and it just loads up on recommendations from that niche.
Yeah I’m referring to basically that, except it would be customized so that they’d be pay by 15m and put in public spaces or coffee shops instead of private offices. I have used them at companies I’ve worked for and they’re great, but thinking more about the remote worker or freelancer out in public (not at an office or coworking space) who might want to pay a few bucks in an otherwise loud public space for a quiet place to talk a call.
> There were ways to bring music with you — on transistor radios, on boom boxes, on car stereos — but they forced you to subject everyone around you to that music, as well.
...and thanks to the Bluetooth speaker that era is back. Can't tell you how often I'm hiking or running in the mountains and some group's dreadful taste in music precedes them by a half mile.
Did CrossFit for 5 years and a shoulder surgery. During that time I visited about 30 gyms all over the US. At no point did I ever see rhabdo treated as anything but a serious concern. There was a gym somewhere that did that Uncle Rhabdo stuff but it’s inaccurate to act as though that is or was the prevailing attitude in CrossFit.
I have several issues with CF but this idea that rhabdo is glorified is not true.
I did CrossFit for 5 years and a shoulder surgery and visited about 30 gyms during that time. What you’re saying isn’t disingenuous but it’s thoroughly idealized and unrealistic.
Workouts with high volumes of technical movements are regularly programmed. RFT workouts with 60 snatches. High volumes of kipping pull-ups. Form goes to shit when you get tired, period, whether you are running or snatching, but being on a clock does not lend itself to slowing down, setting up right, and doing a technical movement with good form. It’s completely antithetical to it.
The coaching quality at CF gyms is widely varied and in my experience most of the folks regardless of their great intentions have no business coaching that many people doing that many complex movements.
There are much safer ways CF could be doing things. Ditch snatches and kipping pull-ups for a start. Snatches are dangerous when done improperly and kipping pull-ups are specifically bad for shoulder joints in individuals who have not built up enough strength to do several strict pullups.
