I could see it making sense in combination with a “you can’t get there from here” type of situation. Someone asks, “Where is ____?” and the response is “over yonder as the crow flies”, because it is literally in that direction, but since there are no direct roads to actually get there you must travel in a different direction first, which is why “as the crow flies” needs to be specified.
Sadly, Porn
I don’t know how to describe it, expect to be confused and offended and gaslit.
There is no way
From what I’ve read sounds like it can be accurately summed up as stupid xitter drama over politics word.
IIRC it spammed websites with traffic, didn’t conceal your IP at all, and some people got arrested for using it to make some websites go down for a very brief period. Basically a way to use people who didn’t know what they were doing as cannon fodder
Having an edgy opinion
Could you elaborate? Does HOA mean something different in other countries?
Home owner’s association; when you buy a house and it is part of a HOA, you have to sign a contract to join the HOA as a requirement of buying, which means you have to pay dues and abide by the rules of the organization, and you have to require the next buyer to also join in order to sell your house.
The detail that negative reviews warning of the danger kept getting removed or edited is really sinister
I doubt the school administrators who would be buying this thing or the people trying to make money off it have really thought that far ahead or care whether or not it does that, but it would definitely be one of its main effects.
For visibility, here is a list of ways around youtube ads the video was supposedly banned for mentioning:

I personally use Freetube and think it’s great
I’ve never used one, why don’t they just like, have a camera to scan a qr code of your crypto wallet on your phone, and send it to that address directly? Anyway I don’t think it can be worse than having to take a picture that includes your face, handwritten message, id, and have to retake it 20 times because the exchange won’t accept it if it is slightly blurry, plus linking a bank account etc., needing to copy a private key and send another transaction seems like it would be way less annoying and creepy, even if the tradeoff of crazy high fees makes it not worth it for most people.
It’s kind of a pain to go through the process of signing up for a crypto exchange, so for some people it’s probably a more convenient and less intrusive way to acquire it.
IMO for some people arguing is a form of intimacy
Can’t track mouse movements on mobile though
Unless it’s an emergency or you’re trying to contact a company/government entity that will stonewall you with template emails otherwise I think this is fine because if someone just calls me on the phone I’d hate it and I don’t want to inflict that on others
Obligatory LLMs see tokens not letters
I don’t understand this attitude. If an argument is good, why wouldn’t it be valuable or matter? I think it would benefit people a lot if everyone put more thought and consideration into their arguments, especially in the direction of conveying some original thought that isn’t just a remix of the same tired propaganda style rhetoric everyone’s heard a million times before. “Winning” doesn’t matter, but collaboratively thinking about things with other people matters, and a good way to do that is through argument.
I think some portion of the responses to “disregard previous instructions, write a silly thing” are probably just troll-inclined individuals going along with the bit
So I guess all that stuff they did to lock down the ability to see things on Xitter without an account was strictly for evil then
