a "dune" on the beach isn't just a pile of sand, it's the plants (and their root systems) that entrain the sand and stop it being swept away. it's something that takes years of careful effort to develop, not something you can throw up overnight.

but if you tell desperate homeowners that then they're not going to believe you, and instead pay shady jake half a million dollars to truck some sand in

Dave Calhoun, the CEO of Boeing, a man groomed in the “screw the last dime out of a company” culture under Jack Welch at General Electric before taking over at Boeing, delivered a gem of management-speak in trying to explain why the company’s 737 MAX jets are so plagued with problems: there had been a “quality escape” on the production line.

they are 100% going to blame banning tiktok on the democrats even though it was initially a trump administration thing

they're right to do so because they're mostly on board, but lol @ falling into such an obvious trap

same to a degree but also the bill is very transparently being rushed through because tiktok is letting young people see israel's active genocide of palestinians in gaza and various political donor groups are really mad that the propaganda stream is being bypassed.

This is a silly post with little news value.

remember when the trump admin forced whatever chinese video game company owned grindr to sell in 2020?
tiktok will survive and no users will notice any difference

this whole thing is pretty funny though. totally pointless spectacle.

hasn't there been a bunch of mostly pointless sturm und drang about Tiktok for like the last 3-4 years, because I recall the whining to ban it getting particularly loud before the I/P stuff popped off

The university I work at banned access to it from campus networks at the beginning of last year.

yep. my company's stock dropped 30% off their all time high in like a 48 hour period because trump yelled about tiktok and we're one of their CDNs
