The thing that will kill this is forcing users to migrate to a new app. Removing the largest friction barrier that prevents people from leaving your app by forcing them to cross it is a great way to scatter the TikTok userbase to the four winds.

I hope this kills TikTok, and that the people who enjoyed using it remember who was responsible for it.

Heard on the news this morning that his dad was/is a pastor and snitched on him to a US Marshall.

So yeah, brainwashed. His own kid will probably get the death penalty for fighting back against the fascists.

Of course, this could all just be a scapegoat to cover for the FBI’s gross incompetence just like the United Healthcare CEO killing. Can’t have the bastards lose face, so they’ll pin it on someone, anyone who fits the bill.

Everyone on that list, without exception, needs to be prosecuted. Former POTUS, current POTUS, Mr Rogers, Keanu Reeves, The Pope, Optimus Prime, idgaf who they are, if their name appears on the client list or the flight logs, throw the fucking book at them.

A republican shoots up a school and nobody sees any issue with Republican ideology, but the second a trans person does we’ve gotta take away the guns, right?

Lefties and trans folk, arm up. If you haven’t bought your piece yet, start the application process. Once you have it, it becomes almost impossible for them to take it away by force.

I kind of wish that Chris Roberts would just take the hint and STFU about release dates for SQ42/SC. There were so many broken promises that any trust that they will hit targets is gone.

I can at least say that, based purely off of what I’ve seen of their gameplay trailers, 2026 is a more realistic release date for Squadron 42 that any of the previous target dates were. The question isn’t if it’s going to be finished by then, it will be if they are going to release it in a playable state at that time.

2027-2028 for Star Citizen is completely unrealistic. The game is nowhere near finished enough to consider that a date that will stick, even if you get all the people working on SQ42 to move over to SC after it eventually releases, the extra manpower can’t make up for the huge hole they’ve dug themselves into. They still have a years-long backlog of content to produce and show no sign of slowing down on offering new pledges. When they catch up with releasing all of the ships that people have paid money for and 10 years later still have nothing to show for it, then we can talk about release dates - ones that give enough time for proper bug fixing, polish, and gameplay balance. 2 or 3 years from now ain’t it.

I’m all in for banning pornographic content

Fuck off. Just don’t consume it, idiot.

If you are worried about your kids getting exposed to it, be a better parent.

Yeah, I was gonna say… there are definitely way to push anything AI related into an unrelated existing outgroup. Just say the liberals are using AI to steal elections and BAM, just like that you’ve got all the MAGA zombies hating AI.

I’m down with that. Web 1.5? Let’s do it. I’ll get my Geocities page up and then we can rev up that hit counter.

You can disagree all you like, but facts are facts. Ukraine is not losing, Russia is not winning.

If you woke up tomorrow and started saying “I disagree, the sky is not blue it is red.” people would rightly treat you like a fucking moron. Same here. Fuck your feelings.

If russia was losing there wouldn’t be discussion about ukraine giving up some land

You might have some semblance of a point if Zelenskyy and Putin were the ones having this negotiation, but the only two people seriously discussing this are Trump (a moron and a traitor) and Putin (the guy currently losing).

Why does Russia want peace so badly if they could just win at any time? Believe me, dipshits like you have been flooding my DMs for 3 years saying Russia is only a few weeks away from crushing Ukraine and I love nothing more than setting up reminders to come back and taunt you when Ukraine is still here, still fighting, and not willing to take some shitty deal that Trump the Traitor and Putin decided on themselves behind closed doors.

So tell me, how much longer before Russia wins this conflict? Can’t wait for your next big prediction Nostradumbass. I’ll be sure to save it and come back to make fun of you just like all the others. Nothing else makes me feel more superior.

You are right about one thing, though. No occupation is eternal. The Russian invaders will be expelled from Ukraine eventually.

stronger than you

lmao, 3 years and the great superpower once thought equal to the United States can’t win the war they started. Give me a break.

USA was stronger than Vietnam and they still lost. USSR was stronger than Afghanistan and they still lost.

Clearly strength isn’t everything. Russia just needs to relearn this lesson they forgot - a determined foe can’t be beaten with brute strength alone.

Nah.

I don’t really give a shit about the AI race and I genuinely hope that we lose it, because I feel like being a winner in that “industry” is inherently unsustainable.

The AI hype is so infuriatingly frustrating.

Same shit with immigration. First they say they are only going after the violent criminals and “bad hombres”. Now they are racially profiling the people they snatch off the street in unmarked vans. Only a matter of time before the pool of “bad actors” expands to the political opposition.

Keep that AI horseshit out of video games, thanks.

Oh yes, let me protest this thing that just happened by throwing my Android-OS phone that I bought years ago away. That’ll show 'em.

You’re just as disingenuous and stupid as the morons on the right who smashed their Keurigs.

FYI, my next phone will probably be a Linux phone anyway and I hardly use YouTube at all these days, and when I do it’s with AdBlockers on, and I never gave a cent to them for premium, so I cost them money to use their platform if anything. If PeerTube or some other non-Google video hosting service could go mainstream, I’d use that in a heartbeat. I’ve de-Googled my life as much as I could reasonably be expected to, and this was before their CEO kissed the ring. So fuck off with your judgemental attitude.

I already hate Apple products, so I can’t not buy them to make a statement about not supporting fascist loving corpo scum.

Republicans so fuckin’ stupid they’re trying prohibition again, but this time with porn.

So incredibly shortsighted. We only developed the mRNA vaccine for Covid-19 in under a year because 20 years ago we started researching it for exactly this scenario. If we had only started working on that body of research when a novel virus presented itself, no amount of money would be able to speed up the clock to deliver a vaccine that verifiably saved millions of lives in the same timespan.

When, not if, the next pandemic comes around, we will want to have that body of research knowledge to help protect us against it.

Let it be known that the Covid-19 pandemic cost US taxpayers trillions of dollars (much of it lost to actual fraud) because Trump thought it would be a good idea to pinch some pennies by cutting the funding for the US-backed watchdog organization that oversaw infectious disease labs like the one in Wuhan, China. “Saving” money by not investing in disease prevention now will end up costing an exponential amount of money more than whatever you think you will end up saving in the short term.

More stupid from the stupid administration.

Why waste the space putting the crooks who willingly sold out the country on ice when there’s a perfectly good gallows?
