@beaware.social @BeAware but then they wouldn't have created the buzz and possibly convinced a few fedi users into jumping to “bigger" audience they could advertise too. but yes they should’ve said so

@MEActNOW @Linux If he starts pulling the same stunts with them, they very well might, or if enough of their trade partners do it. He's playing wih fire

@itsecbot So this seems like we want you to use new shiny app (likely with AI and more ad/upselling built in)....but we aren't even supporting on of the main things people would use this for yet. So why??? #microsoft

Businesses sound alarm as Trump tariffs prompt consumers to cut spending

@AAKL @Reuters Surprise, people cut spending when prices go insane....businesses panic that they will start losing their record profits. Shareholders GTFO, causing more panic. ....And down....down...down it goes

@jacklaridian Well also the movie premise is a bit out there even for a comic movie. They used his "origin" as cap on a Disney + show. Which is pretty good, but not everyone saw it. So potentially you have part of the crowd wondering why he's in a cap suit (especially if they missed the end of endgame). They also have him up against a hulk/avengers/x-men level threat in Red Hulk. Suped up suit or not, one good punch lands on him and he's done. So where is his back up to soak damage?

Sometimes autocorrect changes something, and it leaves me asking, how does that even make sense?!

@Linux This, i love BBC's Newshour because one gets the most horrible atrocities reported on in a calm ever so pleasing voice like it's no big deal.

This opiniation isn't common indeed, it's the perversion of news reporting, more factchecks, caution and understatements would be nice.
