Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that your experience isn’t valid, I am merely providing a counterpoint based upon my own experience.

The difference is that Google+ was actually a wonderful product.

But a couple years down the line Google did what Google does and destroyed it from the inside making it worse and worse until it was just a shell of what it started out being.

If you were into tech, the tech people were amazing. Yonatan Zunger comes to mind. He was a backend engineer at Google and the guy was great.

I also met many people who are still friends, many of whom became real life friends too.

I even got an amazing job thanks to my contacts on g+.

The feed layout was awesome. The fact that everything got fed to rss. The fact that you could tailor posts so easily. God I miss it. Only social media I’ve ever really been a part of.

It was wonderful ♥️

Except, no sexual harassment actually happened.

That lady said there is smoke, and you said OK let’s put this fire out. Meanwhile, the fire department called you and said that there is no smoke here and no fire. Yet, you show up, garden hose in hand yelling come on guys let’s put this fire out!!!

There is no fire. She lied. It happens. Sometimes people do stupid shit for clout. That doesn’t mean that you need to assume all women are lying when they claim sexual harassment.

What it does mean is that instead of believing all women without question, you should instead hear them out, then investigate, and if the evidence is there, then you support them and amplify their claims.

Supporting women can be expressed in demanding investigations into their claims.

Sometimes people lie. It’s very important that you understand this. Believing anyone without question is outright stupid. However clearly there is a trend with women being sexually harassed. Because that trend exists then that lends more credence to their claims. And they should be taken VERY seriously. The claims should not be dismissed, but investigated.

In this case, the claims were investigated and found to be untrue.

Oh fuck off, they were found to not have done anything that was alleged. You were wrong, suck it up and apologize.

A very intelligent person can have some very stupid ideas. The fact that they are intelligent does not make their ideas intelligent as well. Referring to an idea as stupid is not the same as referring to the progenitor as stupid.

You do not understand how logical fallacies work. This is demonstrated by your responses.

Furthermore, saying the equivalent of x person is smart therefore they are right and as a result I am right because I invoked person x is an appeal to authority.

Ding ding, ok school is in session:

Ad hominem attack defined

An ad hominem attack is when someone tries to win an argument by attacking the other person’s character instead of addressing the actual issue or argument. It’s like saying, “You’re wrong because you’re a bad person,” instead of explaining why their idea might be incorrect.

Example

If you call an idea “stupid” but focus on explaining why the idea itself is flawed, it’s not an ad hominem attack. For example:

Not an ad hominem attack:“The plan to build a bridge out of paper is stupid because paper isn’t strong enough to support any weight.”

In this case, you’re calling the idea “stupid” but you’re explaining why it’s a bad idea based on its merits.

Ad hominem attack:“You think we should build a bridge out of paper? You must be an idiot.”

Here, you’re attacking the person rather than addressing the reasoning behind their idea.

This endeth the lesson.

Jesus. Ffs. You can lead a hoe to water but you can’t make him think. Block and move on.

Intentionally writing equations shittily is a special type of brain rot.

It really is.

Just because it can be written The original way doesn’t mean it should be. It’s like developers that use obscure or single letter variables instead of descriptive variables. Sure, you can write variables in an obtuse manner, but it’s better for everyone if you write them in a descriptive manner.

Yeah, this person doesn’t understand foreign policy AT ALL.

I suggest you look into what “slow walking aid” means.

It would be a shame if one part of a massive shipment of weapons just happened to cause the entire lot to be delayed.
