I think making a genuine mistake is fine if it contributes to discussion, especially if it's later edited to reflect the fact that it was mistaken.

I got the base game for free a few years ago.
I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition...on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)
One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol
This is retconning/gaslighting the situation, something he's known the world over for doing.
I like how you didn't know the word, so you used two wrong words that have the same sort of gist! Haha
Retconning is only for fiction. As for gaslighting, that would be pretty hard to prove...
"Misrepresenting" might be a better word there
Scent is how dogs (generally) primarily experience the world.
They don't do this with other dog faces.
Because dogs don't use their faces the same way that humans do
These same regions don't activate in dogs to anything like the same degree when they see other dogs.
Probably because they use scent more than sight for being in tune with their own species.
LMAO
As someone who spends more free time with electronics and other more expensive stuff than newspapers, this would cause a big rift between me and my dog.
I grew up in Canada.
My high school English teacher let us choose books to write essays on from a selection of a dozen or so that he was intimately familiar with and could tell whether someone was BSing or not.
I don't remember all of them, but I chose The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I also remember reading 1984 in his class.
Napster programmers demographic, it seems at times! Lol
That, and the "banned from Reddit" demographic. Two major demographics.
What is grey, then?
You can have social media accounts without explicitly sharing your personal information.
Yes, they can infer a lot of info about you. But you don't need to use those accounts for sharing pictures of yourself, for example.
Not in the US, but my mom works for a really bad union whose greatest accomplishment seems to be giving employees paid 15-minute breaks every 4 hours or so.
The union talks big about protecting employees, but really only protects them the way that an HR department would.

"This"
Not your post, but anything that's just an upvote in the form of a comment.
Also anything that's egregious misinformation or bad faith posting.
Or anything that's just spammy or bonkers crazy. I've blocked more people in my 1-ish year on Lemmy than I had in something like 10 years on Reddit...it definitely feels like Lemmy is the haven for Reddit refugees, including those who got banned for not really understanding how to engage in this type of space.
Also, any post that really doesn't fit the community. Like NoStupidQuestions posts that aren't questions or are really just AITA or DAE (social validation) posts in disguise.
I know that sounds like a lot, but for the most part, I don't vote on things. I upvote most posts that are cool/interesting enough to get me to go to the source or read through the comments, as well as any good comments. And pretty much any comment that engages in discussion with my own comments without being annoying or rude, lol
