  • I've never moved the goalposts. I've held the entire time that social media is a platform for sharing the ongoings of your life with friends or public via a single post.

    By your definition, writing your phone number on a bathroom stall is social media. By your definition, literally every single account based service on the Internet is social media.

    A term should mean something. It shouldn't just be a fancy team for "oh, you know, everything ever"

  • He doesn't think gay folk should be allowed in boy scouts, he and his wife once endorsed a campaign encouraging evangelical Christians to "restore godly leadership" in the U.S., he’s suggested that secular governance is a threat to the nation (instead of the whole fuckin point), he's made bigoted, unfounded accusations against Muslims serving in government, he thinks public schools should teach that jebus and sky wizards made us and thinks teaching evidence based evolution is "biased". Just a fuckin mess.

  • I guess "I've never used it" is being deliberately obtuse, but if "group chats, friend lists, and conversations" are all it takes to be social media, then texting is a social media account. If "video chat" is social media, then FaceTime is a social media account.

    I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse but obviously these are not social media like Facebook, Myspace, or even YouTube. They're just chat. And that's not social media by any contemporary definition.

  • The only thing worse than the ending is the insufferable people who will endlessly try to convince you how perfect the ending was simply because it's subverted expectations. Well yeah, everybody turning into a fucking Autobots and blasting off into space would subvert expectations too. That alone doesn't make it a good ending.
