Actually, pedantry is correcting people for things that didn't actually need correcting because everyone understood the meaning from the context, so there isn't any reason for him to thank you because you didn't actually do anything of value.

God I hope so.

I don't need a bunch of bigoted shit echoing around in there with us.

Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.

This is the literally why I called it a monkey's paw, and suggested negligible Senescence instead.
It's also why I selected teleportation.

It's like you didn't read any of my comment except the word "immortality" 😑

I feel like immortality is always a monkey's paw.
Can we replace it with like... Negligible Senescence?

Assuming it's not a monkey's paw (since invulnerability is also there) then:
Immortality, teleportation (to escape capture), intellect.

Also wtf is Devine Power?

Over, sorry, eh?

Because he presumably isn't so vindictive, and because he presumably cares about the nation, hopefully?

Have you tried actually comparing the content on Tiktok vs other social networks? Or are you just regurgitating some talking point?

From the few years I've been on Tiktok, it is by far the least toxic and bigoted social network I've seen, Lemmy included.
I'm no fan of China, but if we're considering "being less bigoted" to be commie propaganda, then we need to take a look in the mirror. Absolutely throwing the baby out with the bath water here

The irony of what they said is palpable.

Not surprised the account is only 5 days old.

God JT needs to give election Canada teeth before he goes, because right now if musk decides to come in and fuck with the election and prop up a party, there isn't much that they will do about it.

They're suspiciously selective about what foreign interference they're ok with.

Tiktoks have a comment section, and people can reply to comments.
There is a char limit, and while that makes nuance difficult, it also inhibits unhinged rants

But they claim that China banning the apps is authoritarian. The hypocrisy isnt in banning the app, it's in their claims about motivation to do so.
