I mean, yeah? From what I've seen of Mark he seems super nice to anyone and supports everyone. The vid of the kid (fan) that won't let go of hugging him cracks me up, Mark just calmly interviewing all the while, unphased 😂.
But more context for you, I went nhs for a diagnosis (adhd) and switched to Right to Choose after waiting a year. Estimate is half year till diagnosis now, not that I trust that though. Mental health services suck in the UK for a reason, a nefarious one, to slowly privatize the whole of UK healthcare. Look at dentistry as example, impossible to get a nhs dentist.
Didn't know much on the UK post slave ban. Gives me some hope we'll turn a 180 again somehow with our current problems

I've gone through (I think) the whole Culture series of Banks. Weirdly enough, they got recommended to me by a barber when I was ~15yrs. Sweet guy, he had no tv & read a shit tonne. I love the philosophical and/or societal talking points overarching each of Banks book most, I'm awful at recalling the actual stories. There's identity crisis in Consider Phlebas, purpose in Player of Games, excession in the aptly named Excession, the list goes on really. Plus hyper sci-fi, so a bunch of wobbly physics and warfare situations going on. If you can't tell, I love these books lol
Ironically that probably ousts out their minimal value harder. Not a good look forcing your "underlings" if productivity was good prior, and subsequently falls flat.
Cheers on the read. The bit on oil and hazardous waste was enlightening. Corporate America really will try to weasel out of anything huh
This, so much this. I also find it rather coincidental that fb cam out with threads soon after the twitter implosion. Opportunistic feasting on a dead carcass perhaps?
They transitioned to trying to be a "serious" platform the moment they removed the fun gaming related loading stuff.
Marketing at it's finest, striking right into those unsettling emotions, blackmailing you with an awkward situation that all you want is to stop.
Add to the weird billionaire death list, with his narcissism, maybe.
