Well theres a balance between too much or too little
Id appreciate if they didnt record absolutely everything on everyone creating a profile
I've got an annoyance for a radio commercial in my area 'Ever wonder why people in Europe speak so many languages? Maybe it's because they use our lesson course!'
No, it's because they live in nations the size of states, with open travel policies, and neighbors that speak a different language. How about replacing 'why' with 'how', you dolts.
Sorry. Had to complain about it to someone. :p
@RyeNorth you are complaining that an advertisement advertised a product
Almost as important as complaining about people gambling in a casino
He is complaining about them advertising poorly
@Deleted User I own an internet radio station. I absolutely get advertising. The issue I take is the quality of the message. It grates on me because it sets up a premise and sets it's product up as the why, not the how.
Like complaining about how your burger was cooked
Yeah, but with advertising, it's a given that will happen
Using their product as 'WHY' people in Europe generally speak at least two languages is weak.
They cite their product as being a major seller there, sure
but it's far more powerful and accurate to say, 'HOW' do they learn so many languages easilly and effectively? Maybe because they use our lesson course!
The 'WHY' is geopolitical. To someone informed, it's easily dismissed. to someone uninformed, it's potentially giving false information and understanding about geopolitics.
“ STDs in LA county are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and stigma may be to blame” by Soumya Karlamangla on L.A Time Los Angeles Times
Officials in California rejected the theory that their rising STDs are a result of hook up culture and not using condoms. They’ve decided it’s racism, and have a program teaching children to treat dicks like a game of hot potato.

It's kind of a meta thing.
It's not that the advertisement is an advertisement, that they're trying to sell a product, it's that they missed an opportunity at accuracy for a grandiose angle.
It's that one word swap that gets me. Using the word Why where the word How would be more accurate to their product.
The power of one word in a message.
also how tf is it racism?!
people choosing to have sex with other people is racism?!
Did they make it no longer a crime
or no longer a felony?
might have been no longer a felony
in their attempt to lower crime by not having anything be illegal
so now instead of these people being in jail, they get a fine and are allowed to go spread STDs intentionally all day long
Its a misdemenor now
So its still a crime, just not so serious
I liked Tim's point the other day, highlighting the conflicting narratives that we should abolish borders, but also Israel is occupying Palestine
i'm sorry but knowingly endangering someones life is felony assault and battery
It's basically equal to acid attacks.
I'd rather die in the street after 10 minutes of suffering than live as an acid attack victim.
well, i guess depends on the STD. Something easily treated with antibiotics and goes away probably shouldn't be a felony.
but the ones that require treatment for life?
how is that not a felony?
How is the cost of that treatment not 100% attributed to the person that caused it?
On the other hand
it can always be turned around
It’s not a felony any more.
