Social tie ins with gaming never truly worked despite about a decade of experimentation. Lots of the features from social networks instead got included in game design rather than relying on facebook and x for engagement.
I imagine that UGC will still find easy mechanisms for sharing per title, but as a defacto option from big game makers it's done.
The issue is they set the line for what's political and that line is based in leaderships own believes about identity. It telegraphs what kind of company it is based on what it classifies as political under an abstract definition based on who runs the company at the time.
Dr. Gabor Mate¹ should be taken with large grains of salt when it comes to ADHD and related conditions. There is a lack of published research or dedicated expertise on the matter; Dr. Russell Barkley, a leading ADHD expert and researcher², has a good video on the subject³.
Children cope with their surroundings and if traumatized habituate themselves to these habits that are temporarily soothing but deleterious long term, often imitating family members who may have also carried these learned behaviors in their own life. Cycles of generations that are impoverished in comparison to their well to do neighbors are an example.
I was thinking about the connection between the death of digg and now the death of reddit. It's similar that they destroyed engagement by not responding to feedback. Social communities can be forgiving for missteps with acknowledgement and accountability, but Reddit seems to have just shifted its focus from being a community space into a data product.
Had an account for 14 years that I plan on 'deleting', whatever that means with the fast and loose intentions around customer data that reddit seems to have now.
This generation of MB hardware generally seems to have issues from trivial through severe. I purchased my fiance one of the new Macbooks for school along with one of the USB-C dongles to allow her to connect to an external monitor.
She constantly has flickering issues when it's connected without a reboot after connecting. It seems to be an unacknowledged issues with video and the macbook, which was attempted to be solved via a visit with Apple where the replaced the dongle to no effect.
The machine is fantastic in terms of weight, screen, and layout. I don't really mind the single USB-C and would love to have one, but the hardware issues have made me decided to sit this generation out and wait for what's next.

Honestly, what's described in this article seems to cross into sexual assault rather than just harassment. Moving into blatant physical contact, such as kissing, is escalation beyond suggestion and inappropriate comments.
It doesn't sound good, but it depends a lot on the context, I have a lot of friends who are European, and they greet men and women by kissing them on the cheek.
However if she's just sitting in his office and out of no where he lays one on her cheek? Yeah that's weird. Again, context.
