Never forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.
There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.
Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

ah, great, both the AfD (Nazis) and the CDU (conservatives that love to cuddle up to them) apparently really didn't like public tv inviting the punk band "Feine Sahne Fischfilet" because they're "left-wing extremists". The Verfassungsschutz (basically the national secret service that's a running joke because they fail so much at convicting Nazis) had them on their watchlist at some point, with no follow-up. The organizer uninvited them, so much for artistic freedom

You know how video ads, video interstitials in online articles, have been getting more and more popular over the last few years?
That's because Facebook told everybody that people paid a lot of attention to video ads.
Turns out, THAT's because Facebook desperately wanted advertisers to buy the more-expensive video slots (instead of plain text or images) and falsified their viewing metrics, sometimes by a factor of /nine hundred/:

more general thing about cws
this is a more general point, but the above is a specific example where i feel like people will often think "this is important for them to see so i'm not gonna CW this"
don't do that
it's not our decision as the person posting something about whether potential harms to some readers' mental health are outweighed by the importance of the information. respect the agency of people wrt their mental health and attention
