If China wants my goddamn data so they can use it to harm my country, which I love, then they’d better pay me at least $250.

Is that an actual trend thing that happens every year?

People selling their kids to the French foreign legion? Yeah every year when school lets out.

Banning Tik Tok is selective outrage when they all collect data.

Yeah but they aren’t all run and operated by hostile foreign powers. Most of them are based out of the Bay Area. The Bay Area can have my data.

And apparently, we should care about American social media company market shares for reasons.

It's exactly the same as W saying that we should fight terror in late 2001 by going to the mall :patriot:

So you’re the reason all the malls are closed. I’m not surprised. :mad:

Just admit it, you hate freedom and love dictators.

I’m mostly joking, don’t report me to the forum fuzz.

TBC got it right that this is just tit-for-tat economic retaliation. The security concerns are a red herring and you are insanely dumb if you believe that tiktok is a weapon to make kids dumber

I still hate it and think children should be discouraged from dancing. I had and have dyspraxia and children dancing fills me with irrational, nearly violent jealousy. Fun fact: they only give you sympathy at school if you use a wheelchair or scooter, not if you involuntarily walk like a drunk, then they just call you the r-word, which they don’t call the actual r-worded students for some reason, also they didn’t get in trouble for calling you that in the 90’s. Dancing is an act of total loving HUBRIS. It’s why God punished Hank Hill and why God will nuke TikTok from His throne in Hell.

America's Funniest Home Videos was a Chinese weapon designed to destroy the minds of America's military-age youths.

Actually it was designed to cause concussions in middle aged men who decided to jump head first onto their trampoline from their roof.

TikTok was specifically designed to distract American nurses during their workday such that the entire healthcare system falls apart

That and cocaine. I only know one nurse but she doesn’t go ten minutes without using one or the other.
