I am fascinated that you think those are an even comparison.

Using signal for sms is like trying to take a train to the corner store. Its not really for that.

I paid 12k in child care last year. And I'm just now finding out I could have gotten paid at least that much instead?

So the N word is just dandy, and there's nothing that can be done about guns firing themselves. This paints quite the picture

There are no cheap easily-replacable NASA missions. But yes, there are missions where human lives depend on their success.

The head of NASA is a political appointment, so Harris absolutely has influence over that decision.

You follow the sources that snopes uses and read up a little. Snopes, like wikipedia, is nothing without their sources. It's not a source of truth, it's a summary.
Also, if you read the article, you'll see that they aren't studying posts where snopes is wrong, they are studying verifiably incorrect stories.

Reply to comment by dontpet in Social Media Giants Systemically Fail on Hate and Disinformation, Report Says by HowMyDictates
Reddit is primarily intended to be moderated by upvotes and down votes, which gives power to the users. Some subs are overrun but new ones spring up constantly and there's an interesting lifecycle there.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and any site with an algorithm that moderates content seems to think that user interaction is a sign of worth. So any piece of wrong information that attracts a response, negative or positive, gets promoted. I see constant promoted ads of things that are blatantly incorrect or "tips" that just won't work, and they are flooded with comments about how they are bullshit. But that just pushed them further up the rankings.
Reddit isn't perfect, but it's a shit ton better than that.

I think you may be remembering wrong. There was a LOT of support and excitement for Oculus before Facebook bought it. The prevailing response to the acquisition was despair for VR.

Kickstarter is investing in a startup. It's not a pre-order platform. You may be using it incorrectly.

They are almost certainly developent stages of otherwise existing games, and not completely new and never-before-seen games.
That said, of the nearly 800 US region NES games that exist, I've played less than 10% so this one can just go on the pile with the other 90%
