What was tiktoks agenda?

“Other social media bad and dumb, my social media good and smart”.

You’re the same as anyone on Facebook or Twitter, you love you’re little echo chamber and nothing is wrong with it and the other ones are bad.

You love it when the government censors people because it can? What are you even on?

And other social media, like the one you’re using right now, aren’t?

You’re gonna complain about social media while on social media? Can’t wait for the fediverse apps to be banned because someone in Syria is running an instance.

Yeah because teens love opening the paper in the morning and reading about how Israel is “liberating” Palestine?

What nonsense was on there?

Tik tok had some amazing news sources. I’d say the Washington Post on there was pretty good, they actually reported on the bullshit going on at the paper as well. There was a lot of great sources on the app. I’ll say that tiktok is the only place you’ll see news on Palestine not from the pov of Israel.

You talk like a redditor, someone who needs people to hear their opinion even if it doesnt add anything.

Last October I pirated around 100 horror movies and only 2 of them took longer than a day.

Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010) - took a couple of days, it was stuck at 10% for a while and one day i wake up and the whole thing finished in like 6 hours. I’m guessing someone turned on a pc that had been off for a long time lol.

Cabin Fever (2002) - this one took over a week and I was deadset on not paying for it so I just let it sit, pretty much the same thing with the previous torrent, it was stuck at a low percentage for a long time and then one day I hop on my computer and it had fully finished.

Other than that, a lot of Japanese films or foreign films in general will take a long time if they’re not that popular. If I don’t care too much I’ll just delete it and forget about it.

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with this confusing of an opinion. And I’ve met Trump supporters that love Star Trek.

When the front page doesn’t have posts from over 2 days ago on it then I might say Lemmy is a good size, but it’s a pretty stagnate site.

If you’re an American and you’re not a native American you’re family immigrated here. Why is it so weird to want to know where your family or ancestors come from, I’m lucky and can trace my family name back a couple hundred years. I’m still American I just got family history that’s fun to know about.

Will it? Or will google kill wallet off for no reason in a couple of years?

“I would absolutely love a system that would mix up my favorite songs with AI hosts”, has nothing to do with an AI Dj I guess.

Spotifys AI DJ is almost there. He mixes songs you listen to and songs they think you’d like. I don’t remember it ever really talking about the news though.

I’m about 30 minutes south of Tampa Bay. We got hit hard by wind but the flooding was less than it was during Helene, but we also had a dam or something burst during that which caused a majority of the flooding. Our power was out for the night but we woke up to it being back on. We’re lucky because I have family not even a mile away that still doesnt have power tonight. Lots of trees knocked down and blocking roads, but I saw about a dozen different landscaping businesses going through the neighborhoods and clearing up roads and getting rid of the downed trees. I have family that live in a community with a golf course and the houses on the course got wrecked by the wind. A majority of houses in Florida, especially with pools, have these screened cages called lanai’s and a lot of those have either been ripped open or completely collapsed. It seems like most stores are gonna open back up tomorrow so people will be able to get essentials again. I think everyone is just thankful that it wasn’t as bad as it could be.

I had an employee direct me to self checkout at a fucking gas station were I was the only customer in the store. Shits pathetic.

It doesn’t, it’s because people shoplift at self checkout all the time and the big retailers can’t figure out how to stop it. Almost every shop in my town forces you to do self checkout, they don’t even have cashiers most of the time. Last time I was at my local walmart they had like 6 self checkouts and 4 cashiers just standing there staring at everyone trying to find shoplifters. They still can’t find them though lol.

Gasoline and diesel too apparently.
