Is there a way to block inline images

Perception of safety has a lot more to do with high profile random violence (e.g. the recent well-publicized NYC subway crimes) and general street disorder. Nobody expects to get murdered, but people know they could run into a mentally ill addict or have to sit in a subway car with someone behaving in a scary fashion. I probably have 2 or 3 incidents a month on the subway where I am rattled by someone’s behavior. That impacts me more than murders in The Bronx.

Zuck sucks but this open letter is embarrassing. Dial back the smarm and self-righteousness a couple notches. I get it’s marketing and not really an open letter but still, cringe

Can’t decide if I’m annoyed that this poorly-disguised influence scheme will go unpunished, or if thrilled that many very deserving people will be separated from their money.

I recommend therapy.

Nazism is a very small subset of fascism, they are not equivalent. Nazi also carries VERY heavy baggage which is inapplicable to Trump. Use the right terms.

It’s dumb to call Trump a nazi and the populist wing of the Republican party nazis.

It’s not even clever at this point, maybe it was edgy and transgressive like 7 years ago.

The reason it’s dumb is that you are wasting all of your powerful language and you will have no more if things get worse. Boy who cried wolf. Just like people did to racist which used to carry great power and now is basically meaningless as a powerful descriptor.

Very simple, they can track a lot of your online activity (as well as of course what you watch on TikTok) and any of this could be used for future blackmail.

Or I’ll spell it out. 15 years from now you are at middle management position in a defense contractor and some stranger reaches out to you and says they’ll dump a bunch of insanely embarrassing shit from your 20s - think evidence of infidelity, porn playlists, etc - unless you do this simple thing, send them some plans now and then or pass along a password. Nobody will ever know.

No not you specifically, you’re boring. Whoever is in positions they find interesting.

have spent some time on RedNote (Xiaohongshu) and all I have seen is friendly cross-cultural exchange and discussion between these supposed ‘adversaries’.

Nobody is saying the Chinese people and American people are enemies or adversaries.
