Okay, I see that POV--that Twitter is got a pass because it's worst content is just a by-product of their platform, and Parler didn't because it's worst content was the feature of their platform.

Took me less than 30 seconds to type in a racial slur into Twitter's search bar and find it. And I don't even have a twitter account.

Twitter has a search feature. Also this was the very reason Donald Trump's account was finally banned, despite YEARS of that rhetoric.

> It is literally the same as Twitter. Pretty much. What I find troubling is that despite containing the same cesspool of vile content, Twitter never got booted from Google and Apple App stores, and AWS.

It's a little bit more involved than that. What you have described is effectively a "checking account" and a "savings account." Simple lets you have multiple goals you can fund simultaneously, where other banks requ

This is the logical consequence of doing something because you can, while not asking yourself "should you." We should not throw the baby out with the bathwater, but it's high time (in the US and likely EU) we take a long look

I suspect it will be difficult to find information about academic performance from that time period. This article from 18 years ago suggests that girls received extra encouragement to overcome the lowered expectations due to their gender.

This was true when I was in grade school as well (late 80's-90's). Prior to puberty, nearly all the top performing students were girls. After puberty, boys were more represented. The theory I heard was societal pressure in the US

My friend and I built a marketing company for fitness. We haven't yet made any income from it, and covid hit us pretty hard because of our customer base. However we're using the end of 2020 to build momentum on a few social media

What you refer to as "bad luck" is really a system that (perhaps inadvertently) overly penalizes people with limited income. There are a lot of incidental costs associated in life that those of us with savings, and or good incomes

The Simpsons wasn't a kids show. Originally aired as part of the Tracey Ulman Show, then eventually a prime-time shot. As a 1st generation American immigrant kid in the 90's, both my parents had to work.
