Honestly, all of the examples in your link sort of has me feeling it; it's certainly not any less consistent.

That's…honestly a fair point; a good chunk of why I never bothered with TikTok is it has some of the worst UX I've ever experienced in my life.

Because of the conduction?

I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.

It's a film (like many at the time) that's much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.

You'll probably be entertained though (it's certainly still a competently made film) so I'd say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.

I don't think they were saying they're Nazis; unfortunately, many people can't recognize the harm a group does if that harm is slow or "off-screen" (like the poverty or civil restrictions most conservative policies inevitably result in).

I think they were just using a conservative group such as the Nazis since it'd be much more obvious to the average person as to why we need to draw a line, with some groups, and cleanly indicate why OP's blanket statement that "everyone should be welcome" can't possibly be true.

There are those who view this offer to share their thoughts and existence as an opportunity to permanently terminate the same of others.

That's kind of the funniest way to not know what it is, though.

I haven't figured out how to channel it into convincing others, yet (though I haven't done a lot of activism for, like, going on a decade now), but I have been having the thought, for the last 4 years, that focusing on tangible goals could really help us.

Just seeing the Republicans turn half a century of steadfast obsession into actually overturning Roe has me thinking we need material results fast.

Because, if the one constant for our side since the 60s has been anything, it's been a slow erosion at our ability to even effect change.

I feel like even the need for lockstep consensus to work together wouldn't be so direly needed if we had rank-choice voting and a dismantling of the two party system.

To use your union example, more unions mean a slow of concentration of wealth which means less influence for the wealthy upon our society including more stability so there's less desperation to vote for a Hail Mary solution like thinking Trump ever gave a single care about the price of eggs.

Just…really concentrating on tangible goals and carving out progress on them.

Of course, we'd need your aforementioned agreement, for that…

Another platform will pop up over the next week if TikTok is banned.

Or an existing social media will try to take its place; Meta and Google have sites which imitate TikTok's UI (at least, in part).

I don't think it's the only reason necessarily (and I'm inclined to agree your reasons are, at least, part of it) but I think the chance for U. S. companies to cannibalize TikTok's market demographics is, also, a happy little coincidence of the consequences.

Which is galling, in its own right, as it's – by definition – all overtime.

It can also help tenderize the meat (via vinegar or lemon/lime); I tend to find that, when "nondeveloped" countries talk about washing their meat, it means in a vinegar/citrus solution while "developed" countries quite literally mean just plain water.

I know it won't make a difference to them (who're the cafeteria Catholics, now?) but it is an official part of the catechism.

It's not clear from the screenshot but the advertisement used audio directly from his original video; that was his issue.
