Okay, like two/thirds of this post are just fucking brain-dead. (Not an American btw.)

Afghanistan and Gulf War were the most straightforward of all conflicts US has been involved in in the 21st century.

Afghanistan - that’s where the Taliban were, and the Taliban did 9/11 (kinda, Al Qaeda did, but they had ties, and bin Laden was there for a time). The only problem was that the US didn’t consider the regional politics and allied with Pakistan, which was funding the Taliban, since stable Afghanistan was bad for Pakistan.

Gulf War - he, y’know, INVADED KUWAIT! What the fuck is so difficult to understand about “Invading sovereign states is bad actually”!?

Iraq War was bad though 100%

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

You serious?

For real though. Yes the CEO can get a pay cut, but that is unlikely to save more than a few individuals. The costs of labour are just that high, often the highest of all costs a company has. That’s why laying off staff, although terrible, is the best way to save money for a company.

I agree that CEOs earn waaaaay to much for what they actually do, but cutting that is not the magic solution people imagine it is.

Even the famous pay cut by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo was accompanied by other cost saving measures in the company, and only because Japanese law demands that layoffs be the last thing a company does.

If I recall correctly, it wasn’t about appending an emoji to the end of your comment like you just did, but rather about the type of comments that would be 50% or more emojis, that for some reason are very prolific on the Internet.

And I would say there were two good reasons for this. First, these comments rarely conveyed much meaning, the emojis were used to exaggerate the emotional message, but little else.

The second (and more serious one) was the decline in English proficiency among native speakers (especially youth) that was ascribed to use of emojis and emoticons.

Google commissioned a study back in 2018 that showed, that most adults are not confident in their own spelling, and blame the emojis for it.
