It’s both, just that it’s really about one of them and the other is just a cherry on top.
Don’t try to frame this as a hangup of mine and act like you haven’t been thoroughly participating in this debate in a way entirely hyperfixated on “it’s about control”. You’re better than that.
It reminds them of the popular kids in school who pushed them into lockers. That’s basically it.
You still think this is about exerting a control they have yet to exercise, instead of the far more obvious thing I’ve repeated about 5 times and you’ve ignored each time:
THIS IS PROTECTIONISM FOR AMERICAN SOCIAL MEDIA MAGNATES.
Lol, you realise the 1. And 2. On a dictionary imply separate contexts, right? You intentionally chose the context for apology that applies to a defence of criticism in literature, not a person to person apology for a mistake made.
You’ve made yourself a clown and now you’re doubling down. It’s so rich, I love it. I’m going to end this little exchange on this delicious high note. Enjoy your weekend with your hand, buddy, because I won’t respond anymore, I’ll just let you impotently stew in it!
Yep, it’s called Bluetooth bone conducting headphones and if you’re that deaf, you should buy a cheap pair. They’re only like $20 on Amazon. Saves you being a loud asshole in public and makes hearing your phone infinitely easier.
Bluetooth is a bigger hastle than just plugging in a wire.
What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.
And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging
I bought a cheap pair of $20 anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they’re USB c. Even the cheapo taotronics I got from AliExpress were USB c. I don’t think micro has been in use for a while now.
Because they never exercise it in respect to social media?
See how you can’t see past this one simple concept and keep circling back?

You picked the second definition on Webster’s because the first one made you look like a clown. The second one is even marked “excuse” because it’s being used in the literary sense and not in the sense of apologising to someone.
Fucking lol
No I used my preferred dictionary
Urban dictionary? You skipped the first definition because it included the word sorry and made you look like a moron.
Projection much?
Nah, been happily married 10 years, ya incel. Sounds like I hit a nerve.
It was never about ability, you brought it up and I countered with the fact that ability means nothing if you don’t enforce it… Aaaaaaand then you brought up ability again like it’s relevant.
I’m not sure why you keep pursuing this circular debate. My entire point has been it doesn’t matter if it’s a foreign app or not if the government has no desire to control domestic social media due to the fact that the billionaires who own it are directly responsible for electing said government.
You keep bringing up the ability to bring them to heel like it’s in any way relevant when I’ve seen no evidence of meta or X in any way being forced to moderate their platforms - in fact the opposite has been proven abundantly true in the last 10 years. Stop trying to rely on “well maybe a foreign app might be harder to control hypothetically, despite the fact that American apps are completely uncontrolled”. It’s irrelevant to the reality of the situation we have now and therefore a flimsy excuse to protect domestic billionaires interests.
Ability is immaterial if you don’t have the will to exercise it.
It’s the second definition online for me
Which means you intentionally scrolled past the most common definition which requires you to be sorry because it proved you wrong.
The spirit of apology is not saying sorry dude.
Good luck being single the rest of your life lol
What you have at the moment is the government banning being a communist, but fully allowing being a Nazi on X and Facebook.
If you’re going to let Nazis thrive, at least let the communists counterbalance them.
So why bother replying to my very specific question if you don’t have anything to contribute? Oh yeah, because your mum brought you up to think that your opinions are special and everyone should hear them. Way to go, champ.
The ability and the will are two entirely different things.
Lulzzzz ya I’ve heard outside of Hamburgerland saying the n word is not a big deal at all.
Not true and I suggest you don’t try it in any english speaking countries or you are liable to get your head kicked in.
I wonder how long you had to scroll to find that one. Taking an overly literal definition instead of understanding the context and spirit of what an apology is: the last bastion of the guy who cares more about winning than being right.
Buy a third set and then pick two devices for each pair.
