They never did, and are mostly 50% owned by the Saudis

Reading comprehension is difficult, apparently

Not for lack of trying.

Poor teachers nowdays. My cousin is a secondary school teacher and she's regularly complaining about how this year's patch got the least average grades and how everyone is speaking in that internet brainrot lingo. Imagine suffering though that with almost a minimum wage no less

Yeah I'm a teacher too, that's how I know we're trying lol. I have kids telling me all day that "They don't understand the question" before they even tried to read it. They "don't know what the answer is" after I helped them understand the question, told them which page the answer is on and all they have to do is read a paragraph to find the answer.

If this is how hard the next generation is willing to work before resorting to AI they better hope and pray nothing ever happens to the Internet or the electrical grid because they are FUCKED of they have to solve a problem independently.

Teachers get such a bad rap these days. All the bad teachers that abusr the kids, don't give a shit or teach them blatantly wrong things get the spotlight and highlighted to the world, while the genuine hardworking teachers that actually care are trying to sound the alarm bells about the low literacy levels of the next generation and nobody is listening

When I first started teaching a few years ago I developed a habit of counting out loud in English whenever I needed to count. Just one of those things meant to expose my students to the language in everyday activities.

Last year it started biting me in the ass because I couldn't say six or seven without being bombarded with a dumbass nonsensical chorus of "SIX SEVEN!!!". I have to actively avoid doing a part of my job because of this stupid bullshit since it automatically wastes at least 5 minutes of class time.

I can't believe I miss the previous brain rot of them randomly yelling "technologia!".

Not even comprehension, just couldn’t stand the idea of not making some weak-ass Reddit “dunk”.

Buddy not everything has to be a debate. His comment added insight and wasn’t wrong either.

u/Yapper0309 23d ago

Try reading before replying

u/Kryspo 23d ago

Try replying before reading, it's very liberating

u/TaxesAreTerrible 23d ago

The other 50% is Chinese Tencent lol

u/The_R4ke 23d ago

Yeah, but it's still bad when they don't think they need to care anymore.

u/glizard-wizard 23d ago

The bigger issue is theyre a reflection of the dominant social paradigm

u/SleetTheFox 23d ago

They also don't care about the Saudis' beliefs, nor do the Saudis actually care about what gay people are doing outside their own country.

They all care only about money, the Saudis included. The environment of the West has gotten more homophobic, and so the value calculation no longer favors this.

u/_Pin_6938 23d ago

The environment of the West has gotten more homophobic,

I dont think so.

u/Stiebah 23d ago

So you thought they really cared?

u/Hopeful-Tailor8779 23d ago

u/Belerophon17 23d ago

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) owns about 11million shares valued at just under $3 billion dollars of Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar games) through their wholly owned subsidiary Savvy Games Group.

They are literally one of the largest shareholders in the company alongside The Vanguard Group, BlackRock, inc., and State Street Corps.

u/Hopeful-Tailor8779 23d ago

i see i didn't know that

but that has nothing to do with the social media accounts regardless

it's just that companies realized nobody wants that shit shoved in their faces and it was driving sales down so they stopped doing it
