The userbase and lack of content curation/moderation has everything to do with that. The Chinese version gets a whallop of censorship as well, but yeah, their motivation to help other countries educate the young or avoid brain-rot is well in the negatives.

I mean, if TikTok US were more like TikTok China, with emphasis on educational content, there would never have been a problem.

It never was.

That’s some goooood stream-of-consciousness screed right there. Usually, I would have to re-read any paragraphs remotely that long a time or two.

I’m betting it tastes like slightly chewy ranch dressing.

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.

Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls … yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.

I compulsively chew at least 11 times in a vain attempt to diminish my obesity. My lack of a sizable beer gut(versus most of my peers) shows promise, nevermind that I basically don’t drink, but I assure you, the corn does not care.

More like “Rico was right to choose Dizzy over Carmen”.

… in Carmen’s defense, too few people have the integrity to end one relationship before starting another.

One of the only things that would have made me vaguely proud of my service … except the entire time I was in was covered by Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and my best friend in uniform Told rather than deploy with our unit. The part that makes me sad was he wasn’t comfortable enough with our peers, and he was absolutely right to be scared of them.

On-line surveys have always had this problem with bots and people with agendas. Its sad and comical they are pretending this is something new.

A noob, or anyone who spends too much time on /UnixDesktops without realizing that /rainmeter is also a thing.

Just answering your question. Debian here

No. Windows has these “issues” if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things it won’t let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn’t hide them away very well.

Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I’m more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.

That 800k number is the saddest I’ve felt since the morning of the 5th. Wtf?

Dicks are some of my favorite public art though. Right up there with tits and ass.

The only significant policy change between the two was the legalization of weed. Can’t tell me its the weed that made Harris less popular. In the end, she got my vote, where Hillary didn’t, and still lost. Decades of conservative-lite policy momentum is a helluva stank, it turns out.

Same things Hillary’s book said. No amount of reduced foreign propoganda will make up for shit policies. If the propoganda against you is spouting as many truths and lies as you are, its your own damn fault.

What Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank is genocide. Private Prisons and Deportation Facilities are evil. Private Healthcare is a waste of taxpayer money. Student Loans are an unconscionable trap. All of these are things Biden’s party, even Biden himself, foisted on us decades ago and continue to lie about to this day on multiple levels.

Pizza-gate was a quaint joke of a lie by comparison to the shit sandwich the DNC demands we swallow in excange for keeping the oligarchy/fascism we’ve had all along behind closed doors. So sad for you that our governments rhetoric will now openly boast about the things you’ve been comfortable with all along.

Sure, sure. The problem is not enough pandering, handouts and concessions to the ultra-rich and … checks notes … foreign enemies?

Okay, I can’t even remotely keep a straight face for that non-sense. Whatever’s replaced the fentanyl in your dealer’s weed supply, I think I might rather be dead than smoke it with you.

Unless maybe you mean China? … but if so, why repeat the “enemy” narrative?

Shut up, Hillary. You already wrote your stupid-ass book blaming everyone but yourself.

No, no he wasn’t. If he were a better president, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. The best thing he did was drop out of this race, and still, his policies left so much to be desired, that Harris lost the popular vote AND the race.

I voted Harris, by the way.
