Just sayin–
Emails in my work inbox. Keep yer eyes open. Yay Friday. 
Didnt US President Tump already talk about shithole countries and not wanting their leftovers??
I think yer kind of missing the point. Like I am missing yours, so I assume you’re missing the point of dangerous and overwhelming weaponized technology in the form of social media. But hey, I have to go to work now and maybe, if we’re lucky, we can pick this conversation up laters.

Very sad indeed.
She probably had some problems emotionally/psychologically before (some of) her TikTokers may have pushed her over the edge.

Come on…
Blaming TT is like blaming video games or movies for the failings of humans.
Watch jacksepticeye talk about that with YouTube, it’s pretty raw and entertaining.
I’m not in the video game or the film, and the game and the film do not depend on my projecting anything into it. TT is a very different critter.

Are people, none that I know personally, blaming or criticizing what it is we are discussing?
Tiktok is foir sure total shit . The question isnt there perhaps. Maybe the pressing matter is why are so many people wasting their lives on that shit?
Be it tiktoc, facebook, twitter, instagram, tv ,movies, games, whatever. We just simply found a way to make heroin digital, thus overcoming the logistics hurdles of the opium trade.
And like heroin, we can easily choose not to sign up.
That’s a good question. It’s the first world curse of leisure time and idiotic technology. We don’t even get a pellet of food for swiping.
Carr’s letter, dated June 24 on FCC letterhead, said if the Apple and Alphabet do not remove TikTok from their app stores, they should provide statements to him by July 8.
It won’t happen so soon. Still need FCC vote on it.
And Biden admin allowed WeChat to come back to U.S. a few weeks ago, after Trump admin had banned it.

Wasn’t sure where to put this because it overlaps with so much current-year dumbfuckery, but I think some of the crustier members of forumosa will enjoy watching a couple of crusty old(ish) men taking the piss out of mentally-ill teenagers for 20 minutes.
