harperdc posted:man the reaction in Australia is really something to see. It still feels weird to see friends in Sydney or Melbourne without masks on doing...normal...things, or to hear about life as usual there, or see sports filled up with spectators. and I know it's been different depending on states, but they've taken it as seriously as I'd hoped the U.S. would have. I'm in Brisbane so I have literally never had to wear a mask through this whole thing and things were almost normalish from around August. Apparently this is a specific plan for the UK strain of Covid - which apparently is highly contagious. The plan was put in place at the federal level and agreed to by all states and territories. If its detected anywhere theres an immediate lockdown for 3 days with mandatory mask usage and see where we're at 3 days later. Im happy the response is mostly positive as in "let's beat this poo poo" with a few lone nutters whinging about govt control but the general response all over social media seems to be "shut up oval office".

I’m so glad it’s such a strong response, even in the state that is Australia’s Florida.

Can somebody explain to me why it took so long for tiktok to come along and replace vines? Everybody loved vines, yet seems like there wasn't a copycat app until recently.

Vines were insanely popular but they had no idea how to monetize it, because no one was gonna watch a 15 second ad before a 6 second video. Tik Tok is basically China stealing all of our personal information so they don't give a poo poo about making it profitable.

saw some post via Instagram that made the comment: the supposed TikTok teens making the point that all of our elected Congresspeople know how it feels to be in an active shooter / school shooting situation. which...yeah, considering most elected officials would be in their mid-30s at the youngest, that absolutely tracks.

a neat cape posted:I'm still really loving mad about yesterday. Same. I live here and feel loving violated, both from these maga types that we've had to put up with visiting and being shitheads for years and the apparently useless security state that has nevertheless constrained our lives for forever. Like, you live in DC you put up with bullshit security theater all the time because everyone tells you it's necessary, and when an insurrection actually does happen while congress is in session they let them in the loving doors and then let them walk away, after spending the summer treating BLM protesters like they were fighting the Battle of the Bulge.

It's funny to think the Chinese aren't basically ladling data from Alphabet and Facebook routinely as well. Sometimes they don't need to. They can just outright purchase it.

The 1st response is also  https://twitter.com/josker197/status/1347430171553398784?s=21 The latest line "…there will NEVER be another Donald Trump as President in your lifetimes" rings false to me though, because the next one won't be as stupid.
