oh hey, I must be the other guy

Of course not. The sickness was caused by external factors; your suffering from the sickness was caused by your desire for health.

The people responding to you are missing the point you’re trying to make, which is that the title of the article is clickbait.

Texas teacher fired for reading Diary of Anne Frank to class.

This headline is false, if not in the exact words then certainly by the implication. Anyone reading this headline would believe that the teacher was fired for reading The Diary of Anne Frank.

Texas teacher fired for reading Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation to class.

This headline is true. Notice how it is different.

Are either of these headlines good? Obviously not. Is it better to be fired for one than the other? Obviously not, and that is beside the point. Misinformation is a cancer and there doesn’t need to be an agenda behind identifying and calling it out.

edit: and if you (reader) look at the second headline and think to yourself “why are you trying to downplay Texas’ actions by making it sound less bad?” You need to point that question inwards - why do you think the second headline sounds better? And if a more factually correct headline changes your emotional reaction to the story, don’t you think that’s an important reason to advocate for accuracy?

Can you link a model supporting your statement? I wasn’t able to turn anything up showing a predicted population decline from 10 billion go 1 billion.

Look into mask tape, it’s double-sided tape that goes along the inside bridge of the mask. I buy a pack of 100 strips on amazon and it lasts me a couple months. Cheap and easy and completely solves that issue.

Ana Diaz does a pretty good job of explaining it here

For the most part, the people still commenting on big subs or r/all during the protests are people who are:

1. Too addicted to content to ignore reddit for a few days.
2. Not smart enough to find an alternative source of content.

These aren’t the brightest minds on the internet. Like you said - the decline in quantity has been minor, but quality has gone off a cliff.
