    Well, people are moving from what they see as an innocent funny video app to a much more obvious chinese controlled app in protest. Basically trying to call out the hypocrisy of the government banning tiktok when all these other apps exist.

    Most people do not realize how much info tiktok gathered from you and which shady state governments it filtered into.

    It’s funny though because the tiktok ban doesn’t target tiktok, it targets any foreign controlled app above a certain number of users. So as soon as red note gains a bunch of users it will be killed as hard as tiktok.

    That’s of course unless both governments don’t enforce the law, like they both have said they aren’t going to do.

    I heard a cool theory that said basically: we’re pretty well into our techno sci-fi future that we promised in scifi media and stuff. But what we didn’t expect is that the techno future reuses the same architecture and building stuff from the 1970s, the only discernable difference is that there’s a screen in every room and tech in everything and the real future is in that virtual world inside those that’s completely invisible to someone from the 1970s

    That has forever been the fallacy.

    The poor won’t die in the apocalypse leaving only the rich behind. The poor will die, and the rich will be faced with the harsh reality that they needed an army of poor working under them to sustain themselves, leading them to all die within the generation.


  • You can’t compare how anyone feels at all. Feelings are subjective, relative, and are only able to be compared by actions (including words). Even then they are famously difficult to communicate and compare. All I’m saying is that if you’re going down that road you quickly hit the “technically we can’t compare anything” wall.

    So you’re either stuck floating in apathy, being able to react to anything with “meh, we can’t really know anything.” Or you have to infer feelings based on actions and words.

    Hell, I’m not even going to the mat for Luigi in particular, I just thought your response was silly. Actions alone can’t compare how people feel, but unfortunately for us actions alone are all we have to compare.
