It's very much number 2 in my experience with it. Predominantly whenever a really advanced word or phrase is used it can be substituted for a much simpler one without losing useful context. And it seems to really prefer to use them a lot.

Not OP but got quite a bit of experience with this playing competitive FPS for a decade. You're right that refresh rate sets the physical truth of it, e.g. 180 FPS on a 160 Hz monitor won't give you much advantage over 160 FPS if at all. However reaching full multiples of your refresh rate in FPS – 320 in this instance, 480, and so on – will, and not only in theory but you'll feel it subjectively too. I get ~500-600 FPS in counter-strike and I have my FPS capped to 480 to get the most of my current hardware (160 Hz). Getting a 240 Hz monitor would make it smoother. Upgrading the PC to get more multiples would also.

Secondly, law enforcement also likely has the cooperation of the administration of said high-rise building.

Can you hit a 7 minute mile now that you've been recovered for a while? (How) did it affect your health longer term?

With the prospect of brain interface development in the next 100 years, it's possible we'll be able to have a meet-in-person perceptional experience while being physically away, virtually wherever.

The difference is though, with the internet evolving, the platforms were figuring out their revenue models, and we can see now which model turned out superior.

True, and cash is used for any activity at a scale that dwarfs Bitcoin. It makes sense to compare their ratio of illegal to all transactions in this case.

While I absolutely agree that niche spaces that fit your interests tend to have much higher content quality, this argument doesn't quite apply to social networks that attach to your IRL persona. No point in switching until most your IRL connections are there.

In this case, if all your friends hang out at McDonalds, you're not gonna want to sit at your local bistro alone.
