A similar disaster were the new gimp tool icons:

They actually brought the old ones back as an option.
Then put selective enforcement on top and you have a very powerful weapon that gets great PR ("against hate").

- slightly less deaths than normal [0].
- Less ICU patients than normal ([1] vs [2])
- stagnant (and normal) amount of people with respiratory illnesses [3]
The only thing unusual at all is the PCR tests.

The McCloskeys were about to be killed by an armed mob and showed their weapons as self-defense. Kathy Griffin wasn't banned from Twitter or other social media. She wasn't convicted for hate speech. Nothing happened to her for holding up a severed head. And what did happen to Taylor Swift for coming out as a democrat supporter? nothing.
Also this is 100% politics on top of being wrong. Has no right to be here.
On 10-29 a 25yo woman was killed in Bremen.
On 10-28 a 21yo man was stabbed and almost killed in Hamburg.
On 10-27 a 19yo man was stabbed and almost killed in Leipzig.
On 10-26 a man was stabeed and almost killed in Berlin.
On 10-25 one man was killed and three were heavily injured in two different knife attacks in Brandenburg. Same day a 18yo was shot three times and almost killed in Kassel. Same day in cologne a 25yo man was stabbed and almost killed in cologne. Same day a 8yo (!) was held a knife to the throat. Same day in Stuttgart two men were heavily injured in a stabbing. Same day in Hamburg multiple people were injured by stabbings and 6 shots.
On 10-24 a 22yo was shot and killed in Hamburg.
On 10-23 a woman was almost killed in Lemgo.
These were just the last 7 days. It does not include indicidents with non life-threatening injuries, which were there multiple of (Besides the 8yo thing, that was included for the age).
But either way, I can't see anyone interfering with something like that going down.
Also while ImGUI is great and the guy follows good coding practices - it's not at all what I would recommend for learning C++. Not only is it technically not C++, but the problem it solves (GUI-Framework and immediate on top) leads to some pretty hard to follow code with a lot of hidden global state.
It's good that this is being talked about, but at this point everyone should know that google results are mostly about steering you into their belief systems if the search term have even the slightest political tint. Bing is much better for being neutral, even if not always for the quality of the results themselves.
They released so many trailers in the last weeks and even days. This must be so expensive purely from a marketing perspective.
Also none of the reasons are news. Corona has been here for a long time now, and other teams deal with it, too. And I'm sure the release platforms have also been set in stone for a long time.
Also just Yesterday they posted this on twitter: https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1320829781936640013
Most test threshold are in the 35-40 cycle range.
There's some rough language - I would say on average the chans are certainly more direct and less signaling, but the lows are pretty equal for both sites. Death wishes are very common on both.
And of course what you interpret as hateful is massively defined by your beliefs. If you define using wrong pronouns as such, then you're gonna have a bad time on the chans. But so would you on Twitter for having a photo with a MAGA hat.
The chans can be surprisingly humane and supportive. Truly so and not just for social points. Their usual dismissive description is not matched by the actual content. Which is understandable since honestly at the moment, a very good chunk of the content is by bots and organized groups.
Related: I recently posted a long article on all sorts of c++ stuff on a technical Reddit. It also contained criticism of Git. People got their god damn pitchforks! They told me to give up my job, told me I'm a bad coder, they went through reddit and git histories, looked up accounts on other sites and sent me things to my private E-mail that carry a prison sentence in my country. And the mods didn't even remove any of it. Because I criticized Git. But they do insta-ban people for using the wrong pronouns.
Things are not like they seem if you're not in the 'in'-group. Deviate just a little and people come for you - on Twitter like on Reddit. There's no such thing on the chans.
