or how about stuff that just can't be, you know, VERIFIED? Unless you take Tucker Carlson at his word and that this proof did exist, he just lost it. Oops.
Greenwald seems to have gone way off the deep end, what the heck happened???
The Biden campaign nor Hunter Biden have never discredit the material. The fact that I really do want Biden to win does not make Glenn’s piece factually incorrect. I prefer Biden despite this shady story. Still, I commend Glenn for taking a very hard decision for the sake of his integrity.
By "discrediting" it, the only thing you do is ensure that it'll make it another 24 hours in the media circus (and then there will be another claim that you have to refute or face claims that "but this time they didn't refute it!!!"). That game can be repeated ad nauseam, never leaving you off the hook and keeping the subject matter at the front of minds of everybody.
So maybe they never discredited it because they stopped jumping through every hoop that their opponents (Trump or otherwise) hold up for them?
As usual, what's old is new again. Makes sense given that user interfaces and "styles" of software are just like styles in anything else (ie: fashion) -- they come and go and come back again.
Fast forward another 3 - 7 years and users will be wondering at the marvels of a chatbot where one can simply click on the picture of the action they'd like it to perform! Perhaps entire menus of actions will be presented, in horizontal or vertical strips inside the chat interface... these actions will of course be represented by hieroglyphs expertly designed to convey just what they do and no more, to as cross-cultural an audience as possible. Maybe we'll call them icons or something.

You mean like the current functionality of WeChat, Telegram, Kik and FacebookM?
I'm an ex-Facebook user, so obviously I'm not unbiased in my feelings (general disdain) towards the product... but over and over again it seems there are distinct classes of users, those who view it as a useful utility for maintaining "low-intimacy" (casual) relationships, and those who view it as an intrusive/unwanted/psychologically harmful distraction.
I've certainly lost touch with many casual connections by de-Facebooking, but I feel like my overall mental state is better... the old "your everyday versus everyone else's highlight reel" is no longer thrust to the foreground of my consciousness multiple times a day. Worthy tradeoff to me, but is it for most other people? Maybe I'm just too sensitive or insecure to be a "good Facebooker".
It will be interesting to see if the "I get enough out of this to make up for the bad stuff" crowd grows or shrinks over time for FB.
I agree. I stopped checking Facebook in December. I'm happier and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. All my real friends know how to get in touch with me and do. Everyone else was never really a friend anyway.
