He’s alluding to the ubiquitous misuse of the 3 worlds concept, though he’s also a bit wrong himself. It’s not about the 2nd world war but the cold one. First world nations are nations allied with or otherwise on the side of the “west” against the 2nd world which is the soviets and eastern block Europe while 3rd world nations are those that were largely uninvolved. Primarily the middle east and African nations who were mainly busy with surviving after having been left to fend for themselves after the end of colonial rule.
The term itself has nothing to do with the economic or developmental nature of a nation.
not at that time, no, but it does now (and i wonder when it started taking that second meaning actually, because i clearly remember learning that word as used for underdeveloped countries in elementary school 30 years ago )
okay, this one isn’t as much “crazy” as it just is stupid, and once more shows how far we’ve come in attempts of redefining the meaning of words in the name of marketing manipulation
Gawrsh, that’s a slam dunk (I don’t really know much about basketball btw so if there is some history between NBA and Disney (besides ESPN ownership) then I’d like to know).
The news isn’t crazy, per se, but the idea sounds like some irl KND stuff.
If you want me to be more serious here, I agree that this should be looked into more, similar to the supposed treatment that is said to reduce covid-19 symptoms if I recall. This could develop into something interesting, or not.
It should tell you something that Microsoft is doing deals with Facebook when companies like Patagonia and The North Face are pulling advertising from the site.
for these streamers, it wouldn’t make any sense to go to Facebook regardless (unless it’s for a renewed multi-million-dollar deal) cuz now they took all the money and they can just go back to Twitch, where they’ll doubtlessly become even more successful than they were before.
Honestly, the fact that they haven’t made any announcement regarding going back to Twitch is, I think, simply because there are probably heavy negotiations going on behind the scenes (probably by Facebook and YouTube, and possibly Twitch themselves might be offering money too, though that would be weird cuz i dont think they need to feel threatened by anyone atm, especially given that even Microsoft completely failed even while throwing huge amounts of money to buy big streamers).
Given how little people talk about Mixer anyways, it’s not a huge surprise that it would flop. Not even like YouTube where at least some people use YT Live, who has even heard or use it here?! Still, Facebook Gaming sounds like an odd idea as a replacement given the website’s content, for lack of a better word.
