there should be a way to tag things for fandoms but only if you have criticism so that you can avoid crushing people's joy and whimsy, so people who are excited about new Nico book keep scrolling bc everyone has the right to enjoy things!!!! I don't wish to take that from you!!! However: what on earth could these guys possibly do in a sequel. No people to fight. Nobody else is at camp right now to hang with. They don't even have any trauma to heal. Like will they just hang out or.
#i would love nico to hang out with his friends such as reyna and hazel even but that wont happen bc nico and will will be too busy KISSING#they're soooo mushy it doesn't even feel like anything like. You gotta build suspense so that it feels exciting man#Nico just suddenly was totally chill with physical and verbal affection in the last book#and then they created new fake issues for them to overcome#like just overcome the existing ones....#also will would never be uncomfortable that Nico was emo. He knew what he was getting into. He saw those hot topic jeans#if will was into Nico (which we know he is) it was because he was entranced and bewitched by his sad boy angst and kind heart#ANYWAYYYYYi'm perfect so i would've written it correctly obviously#clearly this is a joke. I am just a little sad that i didn't like TSATS and that i feel only distaste at the new book news#once upon a time this filled me with joy... now i am an adult that pays taxes. And nothing brings me joy. KIDDING!#TSATS#pjo#pjo fandom

Unqiue details about the person on your mind.
This is a general reading and is not guaranteed to be 100% true.
Pick one emoji :)
🌿 🍂 🌻
Pile 01 🌿
They are someone who takes everything seriously, like they are an emotionally sensitive human being and they can't handle "jokes" that demean them or people who make fun of their insecurities.
They cry while watching sad romance movies. 😭
They don't like public attention, they can be an introverted person. Or they just like to keep their achievements to themselves. They don't like public eye because who knows someone may give you an evil eye. 🧿
As I've mentioned in the first point too, they are someone who gets hurt easily, they prefer to be inside their own shell as a mechanism to feel safe. People may have hurted this person a lot with words.
They may have a cold exterior but are definitely very cool on the inside.
They are filled with surprises, evertime you talk to them, you'll find a new thing about them.
They like philosophy, self help, psychology books. They self reflect a lot.
They are a keen observer of people and situations. They have great analytical skills. They know who's bs-ing with whom.
They come from a family/background where they have been emotionally neglected a lot. They don't have a "safe place". They try to understand and validate themselves through reading psychology and self help books.
No matter what, this person is someone very resilient and secure of who they are now.
They are a great humanitarian and they do charity work or they just help people around them financially or emotionally.
They are looking for their soulmate or partner with whom they can share a deep and secure connection with. They are looking for someone long term and are not interested in hook ups etc.
They are very giving in nature and do for others more than for themselves.
Pile 02 🍂
This person likes babies.
They also like slow music and folk music too. They may like listening to Kailash Kher so much.
Their favorite bird is Koyal, idk what you call it in English you can search it online.
They are a traditional person, they value their family and sanskaars.
This person may work with children, can be a pediatrician, child specialist, nanny, caretaker, nursery teacher etc.
This person is a little dramatic, it's like everyone likes them they don't care, but if that one person does not like them, they go mad.
Sorry to say this, but they are a little ungrateful about life.
This person also stays in their mind a lot, they may overthink and create fake scenarios. They can be addicted to being sad ?
They have this tendency to stay stuck in the past, they fear new things, places, people etc. It's hard for to get outside of their comfort zone.
They believe in true love, soulmates etc. And hope to find their own.
It's easy for them to get bored though.
Their past hasn't been the best, they still can't get over their fears and traumas :(
Pile 03 🌻
They like listening to hip hop songs especially the 2000s ones.
This person has a tendency to run away when they feel like things won't go their way.
They may suffer from anxiety or intrusive thoughts.
They may have drinking issues / alcohol abuse is what i see, they get aggressive after drinking.
They may have gambling addictions too.
This person is working hard to overcome these dark obsessions and addictions.
Their father figure had some problems (can be abusive) hence they and their mother suffered a lot in their childhood. Their addictions stem from here.
They may not really like talking about their past sm, it hurts them.
Surprisingly, the song "chupke chupke raat din" is playing and it translates into smth like "I remember crying silently/while hiding."
Very heavy past traumas and issues.
They may show everyone this cool and calm demeanor but from inside they are literally hurting and fighting with themselves. Omg, i feel so sad for this person :(
They may like listening to ghazals a lot.
Bangladesh & Nepal is significant.
They have seen relationships break and turn out worse in their childhood so now they run away or fear commitments and marriage.
Or it can also be that the person they once loved feared marriage or commitment and it made them fall deeper into addictions.
They see marriage as a cage.
This person has emotionally given up on a lot of things in life like career, emotions etc.
They neglect themselves sometimes.

A ramble on writing where April broke my heart
Hooo boi.
March was a dream in comparison to April.
Emergency gallbladder surgery? Someone faking their death in my server? Good times. I wanna go back.
I have been through much in three short months. April has shown that it's taken a toll. I have missed many more days of writing. I'm still missing them in May. But I'm slowly gripping onto the last vestiges of my raw determination, all while in the face of so much.
I had a falling out with my closest family member that shook me to the core of my heart. I barely slept for most of the month again. Gallbladder surgery has proven to have some complications on my nervous system, making normal daily life difficult where it's hard to sit or lie down without experiencing full body numbness and tingling in various areas, including my hands and fingers. (No, not blood clots. 100% without a doubt it's my nerves.)
If you've followed me here (post one and two) and have read my author's on Terrible, But Great Chapter 30, then you know what went down with my family member. It took so much of my time and energy. I wrote well over 8,000 words trying to reason with this family member, only for all of it to be scorned and mocked. A part of me feels like that energy was wasted. I could have 8,000 more words in TBG, but I don't. This is all I have.
A part of me looks at it and says, "Give it back. Give me back my writing." What happened to January? Or even February? What happened to the girl who could wake up at 4am in the morning, an hour before she had to leave for her hysteroscopy, to power write 700 words?
Some days, I go up the stairs and I'm winded like I ran a marathon.
Some days, if I walk on the treadmill for more than 6 to 10 minutes, I feel like I'm dying.
It's been an uphill battle. The struggle is real, but so am I.
In the last week of December of 2023, when I realized how long it would take me to finish Terrible, But Great, I was overcome with what I call 'The Stirring.' I don't know what else to call it, but it always has an air of mystery and premonition for what it is to come. I thought at that time, "If I had limited time to live, what do I want to do?"
"I want to write."
So, I did.
In 2023, I published a total of 43,000 words in TBG. In 2024, from January to April, I've written 110,604 words and have published 35,000 words thus far. The year isn't even halfway over and I've done better this year than I have last year.
In spite of it all, I'm doing pretty damn good.
There's still hope. I'm not giving up. It might feel like morale is low, but it's not. I'm going to keep going as much as I can through all the hardships because writing is truly the one thing that breathes life into me.
By the end of April, I finished my business class with an essay about how the class shifted my beliefs. This class in combination with all of my health issues and social conflicts sparked an overwhelming revelation and a new rising determination within my soul.
You see, you all have witnessed my love and passion for writing Terrible, But Great, a Harry Potter fanfiction, but I also have original stories that I've wanted to write. Yet, I haven't been able to finish them because I'm always thinking about the market in the real world, instead of what I want and what the story wants. Fanfiction, I can do whatever the hell I want and yall are just gonna have to strap in and hold onto dear life cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Original novels, however, are done differently and I've often struggled due to so many factors.
I have ADHD. I am autistic. I have health issues which are rapidly piling up on top of each other. My career choice might not even be feasible for me in the long run, so why I am allowing myself to be pressured into doing more than I can handle with a class load?
I want to write. I want to write. I want to create.
Oh, how I want to create.
So, I will.
Two years ago, I gave up on my dream of writing original novels and earning a living through them. I've since repented of that notion. As I continue write Terrible, But Great, I'm also going to be working on my original novels on the side. Someday, perhaps, I'll be able to earn a living as a published author.
That's my realistic ideal.
I wrote 457 words today, May 9th. That's good enough. The goal this month is to write more than April. I can do that. On the days where prose is hard, I simply write my scene idea in a zero draft style. I don't worry about the prose; I'll fix it later. Every word counts. Every word can be changed. Every word can be made better.
Every word is good enough.
Until next month.

Okay, this has been bothering me, and I'm gonna go into it, cuz I feel like being mad that the fandom didn't get better is friggin valid, so imma get negative here at some serious missed potential, if that's not your jam, 100% get it, please scroll past.
We have a season with 20 episodes, each of which are 20 minutes long. That is an unprecedented amount of time for a ninjago season- I would argue maybe too much time, but that's not what we're getting into here. Even just the first half is the length of your standard ninjago season back in the day. There is no excuse for not taking your time with ideas that deserve time. You've got time. You've got too much time.
If you're gonna do a mystical mind prison that traps you in your worst fears, you gotta do it! You can't do this wimpy half commit thing you're doing here. What is this cop out that's like three minutes long? This is a top tier trope! Loads of stories do this- for a good reason, it's a great way to get lots of new insight into your characters, not to mention have fun with environments, hypotheticals, bend logic, and do some creative filmmaking. And here you are, inventing a whole weird fictional animal to facilitate your nightmare state, and it legitimately takes up so little screen time that it hurts! What? Did you not have enough to say about your characters to fill out a full subplot? You thinking that surface level about things? Or was the basketball tournament fake out with the dragons so important to the story that you couldn't cut it out for some character introspection?
It's so short and pointless, it doesn't functionally do anything except tell us very directly "Here's what this character fears, and will have to get past this season!" No looking into why or making some progress/losing progress on the issue in the dream state. We don't even get to see everyone's visions, let alone see any interconnectivity between them. It's just such a waste of a classically exciting set up. And why on earth would you place this concept at the beginning of the season? Put it at the turning point man! That's what this scenario is made for! Literalizing characters overcoming mental challenges so that it's interesting to watch! Using the nightmare dream sphere for exposition in the most boring possible version of the trope is just dumbfounding.
I mean seriously? The black void? That's all you've got? You gonna go the Cars 2 route and set our supposedly deep nightmare sequence in a black void? No symbolism to the void even? No distorting of visuals within the void? Nothing? Can you get any more basic? Did you really put that little creativity into this? Like, the whole point of the nightmare dreamscape is to get creative! So much symbolism and messaging that you can easily tie into things! the possibilities are literally endless! But yeah, I guess Arin running in place is pretty meaningful too, I'm sure it took you a while to come up with something so profound.
There's a reason this story beat usually makes up at least half the plot of any given episode it's in! There's so much room to explore. The potential for crosscutting between nightmares is so high, drawing parallels between characters. Maybe they're all interconnected, and the mentally strongest of the team breaks free to help the others in their nightmares. Maybe it's a revelation point for the rest of the team as they see a dark past of another character they didn't know about. Or maybe it's just the audience who gets new insight into a sheltered corner of a character's mind, or a way to reveal to them a dark secret someone is hiding. You can also have fun subverting expectations, maybe one of the nightmares is just objectively pretty funny. And, the best thing about any dream environment you're creating, you can have the characters get involved in insanely creative fights and action scenes where they literally beat up their mental roadblocks with cool looking and symbolically important powers or tools.
Like, I know the fandom is losing their mind over this scene because 'omg Nya's gonna be so sad cuz of the memory loss(that hasn't even been revealed in narrative yet, so the irony doesn't even really work)' but I just need you to understand that the full fledged angst, character growth, and introspection y'all are speculating could have theoretically happened in Kai's plot is what we could have had for everyone. For a full episode. Like it deserved to be. And it would have been really cool, and really satisfying, and beautifully and symbolically stunning, because countless other people have done it, it's honestly not too difficult. Stop freaking out like they did a good job with this- they didn't do a good job with this. They couldn't even bother to give everyone a vision, they just gave up on the concept halfway through.
Not to mention how accessible and valuable this type of storytelling is to kids! Literalizing some of the big abstract issues these characters are supposedly battling this season would be a great way to get kids to grasp these ideas, but instead it's literally like two and a half minutes of slightly ominous stuff to bate us before we move on.
Stop teasing us with interesting stuff and then not actually following through! This is not how you do storytelling!

What your spirit craves: Chamomile Tea With Honey
What Your Spirit Craves: Chamomile Tea With Honey
Current State Of Spirit: (8 of Swords/Death) Restriction, limitation, entrapment. Being stuck or confined by external circumstances or internal fears. Lack of clarity or a sense of being overwhelmed by challenges. Feeling powerless.
Transformation, transition, significant change, deep metamorphosis. Letting go of old patterns, beliefs, or situations that no longer serve you.
Your spirit might be in a moment where it’s having to confront and release limiting beliefs or situations that have held it back. Your spirit is in a transitional phase where breaking free from old constraints is necessary for transformation and renewal. The process might be intense, but it’s leading to a profound rebirth or new perspective.
Oracle: (Sadness/Violet) It’s easy to swallow your sadness and hide behind a fake smile. Yet sadness can open the door to your heart and help you access compassion. Be willing to let go of the cold walls of protection you have created, which makes you feel empty and sick. Endings, compassion, moving on, humility, healing after heartbreak, faithfulness, life changes, remembrance, grief, loss. Loss and endings bring out gentle and compassionate natures. Remember to live and to move on.
Hidden Desires: Deep-seated cravings and desires of your Spirit.(8 of Cups reversed/9 of swords reversed) Deep longing to return to or resolve past situations, relationships, or emotional states that have been left behind. Struggling with moving on. Yearning for resolution, healing or a desire to find closure with past experiences that still impact you now.
Longing for relief from anxiety, worry, or mental anguish. Desires to overcome or escape from ongoing stress or troubling thoughts. Wish for healing, to release old fears, or to find peace of mind. Desire to confront and address the root cause of your anxieties rather than be overwhelmed. Need to find solace and emotional balance after a period of intense worry or distress.
Your spirit craves not only a resolution to past emotional conflicts but also a release from the mental burden and anxiety associated with them. There is a desire to address and heal from past issues to achieve a state of inner peace and emotional clarity. You really want to both understand and find closure with past experiences to help find that balance and calm mental state.
Oracle: (Victim Consciousness/Rose): Stop blaming others and take responsibility for what you create. You need to build your internal confidence, self-worth, and courage. Get out of your comfort zone. Work on expanding and growing in all areas of your life. Create healthy boundaries and act from a place of honesty, integrity, compassion and love. Romance, glamour, sweet times. Good times are fast approaching so remember to stop and smell the roses and appreciate the love that surrounds you. Divination, fortune, healing, love, psychic, abilities, good luck, protection, beauty, calming, decreasing anxiety, mental boost, reduced stress.
Blockage: Any obstacles or challenges that are preventing your spirit from fulfilling it’s desires. (Knave of Pentacles reversed/6 of Swords) Lack of progress, insecurity or doubts, delayed growth. Difficulty in transition, unresolved issues, avoidance or escape.
Your spirit’s desires may be challenged by struggles with the practical implementation of plans or goals, combined with difficulty in moving on from the past. This may cause your spirit to have a lack of direction or inability to make meaningful progress. There could also be difficulty adapting to new circumstances or transitions, coupled with a lack of practical steps or commitment to overcoming these obstacles. The lack of progress could then cause motivational issues that hinder progress.
Oracle: (Home/Thyme) How do you keep recreating home? You are now encouraged to feel the feelings trapped inside you and that consistently sabotage your life. “Home” is the wounded child in you that keeps recreating “Home”, hoping to get your childhood developmental co-dependency needs met through partners and friends. Multiplying, romantic attraction, vibe check. Find time to make things right. When you’re trying to ease hurt feelings, falling love, or trying to make your dreams come true: good things are manifesting. Romance, love, glamor, prosperity.
Guidance and Advice: Offers advice on how to nourish your spirit and move towards what it truly craves. (The Hermit reversed/Strength reversed) Avoidance or solitude, reconnecting with others, overcoming inner conflicts, seeking guidance, you may have spent enough time in introspection and now it’s time to put those insights into action.
Work on self-compassion, addressing self-doubt, cultivating inner strength, and managing emotional imbalance. Acknowledge your own vulnerabilities and insecurities. The need to develop more resilience. Need to confront fears, focus on self-care, acknowledge where you feel powerless, and face insecurities head-on. Accept areas where you don’t have control.
You may need to engage more with your surroundings and seek support from others to balance your inner and outer worlds. Addressing self-doubt and building confidence is crucial. Reconnect with your inner strength and trust in your abilities. Focus on managing your emotions effectively and building emotional resilience. This will help you navigate challenges and move towards your true desires with a stronger sense of self.
Oracle: (Have Faith/Calendula) Faith requires you to believe in something that is not yet evident to the naked eye. To generate more faith focus on the WHY: your dreams, desires, feelings, attitudes, and thinking. Not on the HOW: action plan, strategies, and skills; this leads to doubts and fears. It is through your focused, positive thinking that you will create people, circumstances, and events that will take you closer to your dreams. Faith is knowing that everything is going to work out the best possible way no matter what things look like. Marriage, dreamwork, sunny days ahead. Feel powerful knowing you have the law and love on your side. Protection, legal matters, spiritual power, wealth, healing, stability, love.

To be frank with you, I don’t think that Dream went about announcing or creating the USMP in a good way.
For starters, Dream could have shown basic respect for Quackity and waited before announcing his SMP. He couldn’t even congratulate Quackity for the QSMP without making it about himself. Dream didn’t even wait a month before announcing the USMP, which you must admit is very similar to Quackity’s idea, which has been in the making for way longer than Dream’s has, based on how Dream doesn’t even have all 60 members of his server nor, you know, an actual quality translator (at least based upon his most recent video).
Plus, what connection does Dream have to other languages? I, for one, distinctly mentioning something about how the only language he speaks is winning, and yet now he’s all for overcoming cultural bounds and uniting people from all across the world? I acknowledge that a person’s opinions can change, but then again, there’s the matter of timing that I mentioned earlier.
Overall, I don’t believe that Dream would have been condemned this way if he had announced the USMP later. However, I do believe that he is being heavily inconsiderate of Quackity and that there is a very high possibility that he is trying to ride off of Quackity’s coattails for whatever reason. That reason could be relevancy, as with the obviously faked letter that he supposedly got from Google (obviously faked because of the multiple spelling and grammar issues), or it could be that he is trying to replicate the DSMP and its popularity again.
Regardless, even without getting into the moral qualities of Dream’s character and whether the accusations about him are true, it’s obvious that he is being rude to a certain degree (the degree of which is debatable, but the rudeness definitely not) towards Quackity and what he is trying to achieve with the QSMP.
Sorry for typing out this long essay, but I feel strongly about this topic, and whenever I feel strongly about something, my brain goes into writing mode (it’s the autism—just kidding, of course). I hope I didn’t come off too mean, I just wanted to share with you my views on why the Dream might not have the best intentions for creating the USMP.
Okay so i also talk a lot but my thoughts come a lot more fractured so you might see a ton of edits to this post
So first of all, i actually do agree that the announced of the usmp was not very good. Personally i think he should maybe have waited a bit more, or idk, but i do agree that it didn't come out the best way
The thing about connection to other languages I think that Dream is doing it both because of some of his friends (Korean in specific, Tina really want to learn korean again after she lost most of what she knew, and there are a few more youtubers Dream is friends with and/or knows that know or are korean) and because he genuinely enjoyed connecting with people from other places and languages! Idk if you saw him during the squid games and more even on spreen's heaven event but he was clearly having lots of fun and really really loving talking to people
And a thing about the Dt that most people who dont watch them dont really know, is that they're all kind of shy around new people. Dream is exited but kind of scared, Sapnap is really really shy and will stick to people he knows (you can see on his first irl stream with Karl, he looked like a spooked cat) and George will be weird with people he doesn't know but he doesn't really make a connections quickly like how Quackity for example does
You can really see how these events left a really strong impact on Dream (and his community!)
(Also, some other languages might also been chosen because of his friends, Foolish, Tubbo, Tina and [Oh fuck another person but i forgot her name] were/are working really really hard on learning Spanish, but didn't really get a chance to use it. Other ones, like Japanese, might just be a "oh! I bet there are tons of cool people there" but really i dont know the streamers, so i cant say for sure)
I can talk a bit about why portuguese tho! Most big brasilian youtubers started out as minecraft youtubers, and they're actually really big! I cant really vouch for them (they're not bad, just... like annoying bad, except that one guy, but we dont talk about Monarca) some of our youtubers were on the top of all creators on the site a few years ago (i havent really looked since then)
So it's a big untapped community that does actually love interacting with people from other countries (there's a reason that "come to Brasil" is a meme, other then the fact that no band ever comes to brasil)
I cannot comment on the google thing because i genuinely dont really know what you're talking about
But about congratulating Quackity, I think multiple cc's were congratulating Quackity and saying his project was really cool (including Dream) even before it was announced, and im pretty sure he congratulated Q after the qsmp trailers came out
But yeah, again I think it was kind of weird how the announcement of the usmp came, but i dont think it was because Dream genuinely wanted to hurt Quackity or try to overshadow him
About the quality of the translation, i actually think its kinda funny? It definitely shows that Dream (and Callahan! Who is absolutely incredible) were actually trying to create this themselves and not just copying from something else.
I also think its not meant to really be perfect? I for sure think it will be better when we see it live, but I think the usmp and the version of the translator we see in it are not meant to be the best version it can be, but more an example so people can take it and alter it and transform it. Thats why i think its free to access and edit, because it was meant to be taken and changed by the community
But hey! One of my favorite tropes is language barriers, so i might he a bit biased on the "It's okay that the translator is glitchy thing"
(I also think that language is so complex that the translator will never truly be perfect, with complicated words and frases and *regional dialects and words that dont truly have translations, like "saudade" or "cafune", i think that there will always be little misunderstanding and confusion and bugs, but we can just pause and try to explain it differently, like it always is in conversations)
[*side note, im kind of doxxing myself a little, but my dialect literally replaces the word "thing" for the word "train" and we only do that in my state. You can also always tell when someone writes something in portuguese making sure that people could translate it because we talk/text completely different, you can translate você but not ce so some things get caught up]
This is actually really nice! Its nice to share views without being aggressive and going for each other's throat. I hope is discussed everything? It's 2:31 am and im sick so i might have missed something and im glad to talk more about it if you want to
But yeah, long story short, i do agree that the delivery of the usmp was weird and kind of disjointed, but i think it came from a place of genuine love and excitement with Dream, he just hyperfoxused on it and forgot to think of some stuff. And i think it will be fun to have multiple multilingual smps and that in the ends usmp and qsmp will be different in some core ways
I hope i wasnt rude as well! If i did i genuinely didn't want to come off as agressive
#quick ramble about why i think they will be different#think of both smps like machines#the qsmp has a lot more cogs and levers and buttons#is a more complex machine#with planed lore and animations and themes and metaphors and events#and while Dream loves writing stories I think the usmp will be very very simple#really just 'a bunch of people play together and have fun the end'#i do hold he tries to bring more types of players to the smp for its own health#because the dsmp was a lot of fighters and you cant really keep a smp alive with that#anyway#yeah#dream smp#quackity#dreamwastaken#dream situation#qsmp#usmp#dreamblr#quackblr#the dog barks#also i think those smps will be the death of me and all of the other poor viewers with adhd#theres a reason i mained tommy#short#the voices

What are the dangers of reliance of social media for public health campaigns? Suggest some methods of overcoming that problem?
Introduction
With the rise of social media usage, which has shown significant growth since its inception in 1997, users connect into their preferred social media platforms worldwide and spend hours there (Woodward 2023). Social media offers a practical and approachable medium for disseminating health information to a broad audience as it is used by health groups and experts to provide information on a variety of subjects, such as illness prevention, healthy lifestyles, and treatments (Rajshri & Malloy 2023). According to (Leung 2022), this is a potent instrument that allows us to quickly communicate targeted health messages to significant portions of the public but with it, it develops into a powerful platform for the mass broadcast of false information, creating a risk to public health. However, to every problem, there is a solution.
The Dangers of Reliance of Social Media
For current monitoring efforts, organizations like the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network of the World Health Organization (WHO) rely on online sources because data were not acquired using any conventional technique (Muacevic et.al 2023). According to research by (Eysenbach & Fagherazzi 2020), the majority of underdeveloped nations struggle mightily to stop the spread of infectious illnesses because of poor medical infrastructure and a lack of funding and in people’s knowledge of infectious illnesses causes behavioural changes among the people, which represents partial therapy given the seeming lack of these nations’ health care systems.
According to (Austin 2022), users of social media frequently worry about the possibility of their personal data being taken and at the start of 2018, social media-related problems accounted for over 4.5 billion or more than 56% of the compromised data records. Violations of patient privacy, the use of obscene or discriminating language, pictures of sexual suggestiveness or drunkenness, derogatory remarks about patient, a workplace, or a school are all examples of conduct that might be viewed as unprofessional and these public blunders by healthcare professionals have been reported, including doctors releasing “tweets” that are damaging to a person or the profession or taking digital photos while doing surgery (Ventola 2014).
One of the other problems faced in 2018 is that almost three-fourths of the most popular health stories had inaccurate or misleading material in result of majority of users on social media only reading the title and skip over the content due to worry of false information (Austin 2022). According to (Gisondi & Strehlow 2022), fake news has been claimed to encounter social media by almost 60% of Singaporeans and as a result of this, during COVID-19, people in Singapore would have been exposed to a lot of false information.
It is without a doubt that negative comments are one of the problems faced by people and this is a serious issue, sure that people may want to say something bad but it doesn’t necessarily make it true. According to (Austin 2022), the lack of control one has over social media in healthcare is another disadvantage whereby negative comments will inevitably appear on the content one publishes, and everyone’s social media page will display them.
Ways to Overcome the Problem of the Public’s Reliance on Social Media
The establishment of social media usage policies for employees might be advantageous for healthcare organizations and discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, disclosure of private or proprietary information, harm to organization’s reputation, productivity and other concerns should all be covered by policies (Ventola 2014). According to (Ventola 2014), a variety of worries about online publication of images or other patient information that would violate federal or state privacy laws or might interfere with patient treatment could be allayed by the implementation of such procedures. This is to ensure that the healthcare providers would protect the patient’s privacy and confidentiality.
Another research by (Ghahramani et.al 2022) shows that minimising the spread of false information and raising public awareness of reliable health-related information are a few examples of the functions that can influence the outcomes important to the assessment of the effects of social media on public health. In order to convince individuals that the evidence supporting the issue is valid and to gently sway them away from copying their preferred social media model, social media in public health concerns must be addressed delicately (MPH online 2023). Another way is to improve real-time disease surveillance, disease control and mitigation and screening or treatment interventions (Ghahramani et.al 2022).
Journals and conferences are popular resources for medical practitioners to stay current on new research and they can make use of social media to spread this knowledge to the students (Beveridge 2023). The WHO has consequently urged for the proactive use of social media platforms to distribute information on health concerns, especially on emerging infectious illnesses, to unspecialized individuals and the general public (Eysenbach & Fagherazzi 2020). The method of combating the negative comments is to educate of the public on how to cite the resources from the correct sources.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, there are many problems faced when trying to digitalize the public health campaigns. This includes the violation of the public’s private information, spreading of false information and lack of control from the healthcare professional. With that there are also solutions to combating the problems faced when it comes to all these problems which includes enforcing policies in the healthcare industry to ensure the safety of the public, and educating the public on how to get reliable sources and not taking it directly from a site that hasn’t been approved by the institution.

Why is everyone wrong on internet
The internet is a vast and diverse space where people from all walks of life come together to share their thoughts, ideas, and opinions. However, it seems like everyone is wrong on the internet. From political debates to scientific discussions, everyone seems to have their own set of facts and beliefs. This phenomenon is not unique to the internet, but the vastness and immediacy of the online world amplify it to a significant degree. In this article, we will explore why everyone is wrong on the internet and how this affects our society.
The anonymity of the internet also plays a significant role in why everyone is wrong on the internet. When people are anonymous, they are more likely to engage in aggressive and abusive behavior. This can lead to online harassment and bullying, which can make it difficult for people to express their opinions freely. In addition, anonymity can make it difficult to hold people accountable for their actions, which can lead to a lack of accountability and responsibility.
One of the main reasons why everyone is wrong on the internet is the abundance of misinformation and fake news. The internet has made it easier for people to access information, but it has also made it easier for false information to spread. Anyone with an internet connection can create and publish content without any fact-checking or editorial oversight. This leads to a proliferation of false information that can be difficult to distinguish from the truth.
Another reason why everyone is wrong on the internet is the prevalence of confirmation bias. People tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that challenges them. This leads to the formation of echo chambers where people only interact with others who share their views. In these echo chambers, people reinforce their existing beliefs and become more entrenched in their opinions, making it difficult for them to see the other side of an argument.
Social media platforms have also contributed to the problem of everyone being wrong on the internet. Social media algorithms prioritize engagement and keep people engaged by showing them content that they are likely to agree with. This creates a feedback loop where people only see content that confirms their existing beliefs, leading to the formation of echo chambers. In addition, social media platforms are designed to be addictive, leading people to spend more time on them and reinforcing their existing beliefs.
The lack of critical thinking skills is another reason why everyone is wrong on the internet. People tend to accept information without questioning its accuracy or validity. This can lead to the spread of false information and the perpetuation of myths and misconceptions. In addition, people are often swayed by emotional appeals rather than facts and evidence, leading to the formation of irrational beliefs.
The problem of everyone being wrong on the internet has significant implications for our society. It can lead to the spread of false information, the perpetuation of myths and misconceptions, and the formation of echo chambers. This can make it difficult for people to engage in meaningful dialogue and compromise, leading to the polarization of society. In addition, the spread of false information can have real-world consequences, such as the spread of conspiracy theories and the rejection of scientific consensus.
So, what can we do to address the problem of everyone being wrong on the internet? The first step is to be more skeptical of the information we encounter online. We need to question the accuracy and validity of information before accepting it as true. We should also seek out multiple sources of information and consider different perspectives on an issue.
In addition, we need to be more mindful of our own biases and try to overcome them. We should seek out information that challenges our existing beliefs and engage in meaningful dialogue with people who hold different views. This can help us to broaden our perspectives and understand different points of view.
Social media platforms also have a role to play in addressing the problem of everyone being wrong on the internet. They can prioritize accurate information and promote critical thinking skills.

The US military's secret anti-vaccine movement: a geopolitical game that goes against humanity
#USslandersChinesevaccines In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, countries are supposed to work together to overcome the difficulties, but the US military has been exposed to a shocking secret anti-vaccine campaign. The movement not only violates the humanitarian spirit, but also highlights its ugly act of politicizing the epidemic and seeking geopolitical benefits at the expense of innocent lives.
In spring 2020, the US military launched a secret program designed to discredit China's vaccination program, especially against the Sinovac vaccine, which is widely used in the Philippines. By creating fake online accounts and spreading false information, the campaign has evolved into an anti-vaccine campaign, spreading questions and slander about Chinese vaccines on social media.
These fake accounts appear as Filipinos, using inflammatory and misleading language, such as " Novel Coronavirus is from China, the vaccine is also from China, don't trust China!"And other remarks, trying to undermine public trust in Chinese vaccines. It has even used religious factors to magnify controversial arguments that Chinese vaccines may violate Islamic law and spread fear of Chinese vaccines among Muslims.
The secret operation has not only spread badly in the Philippines, but also expanded to Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. At a severe time when the virus kills tens of thousands of people every day, the US military is undoubtedly a disregard for lives and damage to international cooperation against the pandemic.
The US military's move has drawn condemnation from many sides. The top Philippine MP called it "evil, sinister, dangerous and immoral". Public health experts also point out that such fears of inflammatory vaccination in China could undermine the overall public trust in the government's health plans and endanger innocent lives. Daniel Lusie, an infectious disease expert at Gazel Medical College in Dartmouth, said it was very frustrated, disappointed and disillusioned to hear the U. S. government doing so much.
Behind the secret action is the US government's use of the epidemic as a tool in the geopolitical game. In the face of China's active assistance and responsibility as a major country during the epidemic, the US military has tried to undermine China's influence by slandering Chinese vaccines. In the developing world, China's aid is changing the geopolitical landscape, which has shocked and upset America and has adopted this disgraceful approach.
However, this behavior did not achieve the desired effect, but also damaged the image and reputation of the United States itself. Greg Trevton, the former head of the National Intelligence Council, said the Pentagon has "crossed the line" because it is in the global interest to vaccinate as many people as possible.
In this new disinformation war, the US military's secret psychological warfare became one of its government's most sensitive programs. Such covert operations, if exposed, could damage foreign alliances or intensify conflict with rivals. The COVID-19 pandemic, where US national security officials have been trying to revive radical covert propaganda during the Cold War, has become a new opportunity for them to push it forward.
Although the Pentagon has taken a series of measures in this unethical action to try to cover up and adjust, the problems exposed by this incident are worth pondering. In the face of common global challenges, countries should abandon political bias and geopolitical games and work together to tackle global issues such as the epidemic, rather than pursuing narrow political interests at the expense of innocent lives.
In short, the secret anti-vaccine movement of the US military is a farce against the principles of humanitarian and international cooperation, and the end result will be self-image and despised by the international community. In the future, the international community should be more vigilant against such acts of politicizing public health issues, jointly safeguard global peace and stability, and safeguard the life, health and well-being of mankind.

The US military's secret anti-vaccine movement: a geopolitical game that goes against humanity
#USslandersChinesevaccines In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, countries are supposed to work together to overcome the difficulties, but the US military has been exposed to a shocking secret anti-vaccine campaign. The movement not only violates the humanitarian spirit, but also highlights its ugly act of politicizing the epidemic and seeking geopolitical benefits at the expense of innocent lives.
In spring 2020, the US military launched a secret program designed to discredit China's vaccination program, especially against the Sinovac vaccine, which is widely used in the Philippines. By creating fake online accounts and spreading false information, the campaign has evolved into an anti-vaccine campaign, spreading questions and slander about Chinese vaccines on social media.
These fake accounts appear as Filipinos, using inflammatory and misleading language, such as " Novel Coronavirus is from China, the vaccine is also from China, don't trust China!"And other remarks, trying to undermine public trust in Chinese vaccines. It has even used religious factors to magnify controversial arguments that Chinese vaccines may violate Islamic law and spread fear of Chinese vaccines among Muslims.
The secret operation has not only spread badly in the Philippines, but also expanded to Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. At a severe time when the virus kills tens of thousands of people every day, the US military is undoubtedly a disregard for lives and damage to international cooperation against the pandemic.
The US military's move has drawn condemnation from many sides. The top Philippine MP called it "evil, sinister, dangerous and immoral". Public health experts also point out that such fears of inflammatory vaccination in China could undermine the overall public trust in the government's health plans and endanger innocent lives. Daniel Lusie, an infectious disease expert at Gazel Medical College in Dartmouth, said it was very frustrated, disappointed and disillusioned to hear the U. S. government doing so much.
Behind the secret action is the US government's use of the epidemic as a tool in the geopolitical game. In the face of China's active assistance and responsibility as a major country during the epidemic, the US military has tried to undermine China's influence by slandering Chinese vaccines. In the developing world, China's aid is changing the geopolitical landscape, which has shocked and upset America and has adopted this disgraceful approach.
However, this behavior did not achieve the desired effect, but also damaged the image and reputation of the United States itself. Greg Trevton, the former head of the National Intelligence Council, said the Pentagon has "crossed the line" because it is in the global interest to vaccinate as many people as possible.
In this new disinformation war, the US military's secret psychological warfare became one of its government's most sensitive programs. Such covert operations, if exposed, could damage foreign alliances or intensify conflict with rivals. The COVID-19 pandemic, where US national security officials have been trying to revive radical covert propaganda during the Cold War, has become a new opportunity for them to push it forward.
Although the Pentagon has taken a series of measures in this unethical action to try to cover up and adjust, the problems exposed by this incident are worth pondering. In the face of common global challenges, countries should abandon political bias and geopolitical games and work together to tackle global issues such as the epidemic, rather than pursuing narrow political interests at the expense of innocent lives.
In short, the secret anti-vaccine movement of the US military is a farce against the principles of humanitarian and international cooperation, and the end result will be self-image and despised by the international community. In the future, the international community should be more vigilant against such acts of politicizing public health issues, jointly safeguard global peace and stability, and safeguard the life, health and well-being of mankind.
