  • Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Even as a general user I’ve come across illegal shit on Telegram, so they clearly aren’t even attempting to moderate. It would be absolutely zero surprise that obvious terrorist organizations like ISIL would be using the platform for some communication and recruiting. And that doesn’t even get into subjective shit like Russian aggression and attacks on civilians in Ukraine, which many would consider terrorist attacks.








  • Actually, the American Southern dialect

    Individual dialects don’t really apply to this type of generalization. That’s really too specific.

    I mean, that’s a very specific part of America. Most of America doesn’t speak like the Southern states. It may be the largest specific dialect grouping (I don’t care enough to look into it more than a casual search), but that doesn’t mean that it encompasses a majority of America. Boston also has an extremely conspicuous dialect for instance compared to the rest of the country, but we’re not talking about Boston specifically ,we’re talking the entire US generally.

    We don’t want to go about saying that British English is wholly determined by the specific dialect around London do we? Even though that’s like 14% of the entire population of England.










  • That’s kind of my point though. Gabby Giffords was a US Representative that was thrust into the national spotlight when she survived an assassination attempt in 2013 at a public Town Hall.

    Unlike most political spouses, she was actually the politician of the couple before Mark Kelly ran in 2020. He’s actually very new to politics directly.
