They only want the pics you want to hide, duh.

The clear answer is that wrongdoing also needs to be ‘too big to fail’. Small, low impact shit will get you targeted.

Something so heinous it would make who-shot-Kennedy a forgotten footnote? Everyone is going to cover that up.

He finally got shown his personal blackmail folder, I assume.

If they could justify it, it wouldn’t be classified.

Why would you assume there needs to be a public benefit?

They're known as the Romance languages because the languages are rōmānicē (Roman-style), not because they're romantic.

Romance in the context of languages means they were derived from Latin, the language of Rome.

Technically yes - And also why every single one of the cultures speaking those languages is known for it’s lovers?

I had no idea that was a stereotype of Romanians.

Most Latino/latinas I’ve discussed this with find Latinx offensive because there are strong (positive) gender associations with each, and it appears to be explicitly trying to erase them.

A 5 trillion dollar company?

That produces the blandest corporate safe slop.

Long before a company reaches 5 trln, everything at that level is a calculated decision.

Also, what is a brand if not a intentional ‘reality distortion’?
