No it’s all really recent. For reference, my country, Sweden, commonly referred to as being super progressive and whatever overturned a law requiring trans people to undergo sterilisation if they wanted their gender legally recognised in 2013. Mere eleven years ago.

We were super horny for eugenics and the shit the Nazis did. Sure most of Europe was, but we aren’t the saints we like to portray ourselves as.

My roomie is a trucker. He has laughed so much at the Tesla semitruck because it kind of fails at everything a truck is meant to do.

Respectfully, I don't want to see any trains or buses made under his guidance.

I love the idea of a fancy autocomplete trained on Reddit and 4-chan deciding whether or not someone should be murdered or not. Sounds like a fantastic idea.

I mean you're welcome to believe what you believe, and if you want to string them up I wouldn't stop you. I just don't think killing any of these people is going to solve anything as the problem is systemic. We need to take the system and their means away from them.

Wasn’t he in hot water for corruption a while ago?

Wow I’d missed that. Honestly we need to throw out the entire parliament. They’re all broken.

That’s certainly cathartic, and I can appreciate that, but it’s not helpful.

Honestly, adding outlandish phrases to their data was a brilliant move. These phrases stick with you, so they do help, on top of that people find them funny so they share them, leading to free advertisement.

And slash the CEO as well. Not literally of course.

Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.

Well, no. It wouldn't be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it "the English language's first and only Chinese character."

If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it's a smiley.
