so we can do this but not threaten individual churches with the same when they break the terms of their exemption? great :(

market researchers have figured this out several decades ago

and no the market hasn’t deflated so there’s your answer

obviously the B in BSA stands for BSA

is this a mandela effect or why do i specifically remember hearing that they had already done this like 4-8 years ago

edit: did my due research

In 2019, the Boy Scouts of America renamed its flagship program, Boy Scouts, to Scouts BSA to reflect its policy change allowing girls to join separate, gender-specific troops.[3]

On May 7, 2024, BSA announced that the organization will change its name to Scouting America. The change will go into effect on February 8, 2025.[5]

pictured: the literal reason bernie said these things.

piss off with your accelerationist bullshit. people are going to die and you are flaunting your privilege by admitting you don’t care when it comes.

nobody else has adopted RCS

hm? genuinely does the following not contradict your statement?

Chinese carriers have been proponents of RCS for years, and last year, the Chinese government began the process of codifying into law that to achieve certification, new 5G devices will be required to support RCS. src

like maybe im misunderstanding but seems fairly clear that significant people groups are turning toward RCS.

sad! the world once again fell for google’s propaganda and deception just because they were able to muster up a good-guy attitude and a winning smile.

uh this might get me hate but this is a rare instance of youtube doing its job and doing it well.

members videos are basically like patreon but directly on youtube. members who choose to fund a channel get ad-free and exclusive content on top of the knowledge their money/attention is going directly towards their favorite creator and not some random advertiser.

and youtube is doing its job by advertising this content. it would be a failure of a service if it kept these videos a secret.

“but it’s annoying”

it says “members only” right there. just don’t click it and learn to accept that the creators you enjoy need to make a living somehow.

as a relative outsider looking into this this is a profoundly bittersweet/wholesome story lol. almost akin to bill watterson. glad fans of his can know he’s okay 💙

is not rcs simply another locked down standard under the thumb of google, which they have decided to limit and block on rooted devices in the past?

correct me if im wrong ? but this all seems like a freight train of no good barelling in. google propoganda has won out and we’re swapping one gatekept standard for another.
