  • You're right, it's not an argument. But it's a perfectly sufficient reply to a one-word question that doesn't properly provide an argument of its own.

  • Ever hear of the prisoner's dilemma?

  • Ah yes, the feed starting with an ad, followed by a reels module alternating between soft porn and dogs, followed by bots and more ads, maybe interspersed with a couple of posts by people whose names I recognize for good measure, are well worth my time. No need to virtue signal, I'm hooked!

  • The good news is that the main contingent of people upset about TikTok getting banned have willingly rotted away their attention spans (ironically, through TikTok) to do anything meaningful about it. The moment they realize being mad takes effort they'll find something else to do.

  • Ah, so if you catch it early it's a coin flip? Nice.

  • It's not even his idea, though. It's been introduced by Marco Rubio 4 times, starting in 2018.

  • Try Projectivy.

  • Not worth my time to check who it was (I think BCBS), but they were going to deny the totality of the anesthesia line item for a surgery if the allotted time (and therefore the expected amount of anesthesia used) exceeded the original estimate.

  • Why does Matt Gaetz look like a cartoon villain?

  • If you're still asking this question, you are either a disingenuous troll or you are beyond help. You obviously haven't spent even five minutes trying to understand why the U.S. is still funding Israel and the general positions of the two candidates and instead feel that time is better spent riffing on the same Lemmy buzzword.

  • And guess what? If you've ever sold anything on TikTok, Bytedance (and the CCP) has your SSN, asking with a treasure trove of personal info! Byebye, identity!

  • The technical term is "platform decay". "Enshittification" is not the term to lead with if you want people not aware to take you seriously.

    And this isn't that.

  • This is a weird take. That ticker telling you about scores and schedules for a whole bunch of different sports has been on ESPN forever.

  • Way ahead of you. When trying to persuade, you need to know your audience. I'm going door to door canvassing, and having conversations with voters that have these concerns. Those conversations, meeting people one-on-one with empathy, has a profound effect.

    In contrast, here, I was responding to someone who was obviously acting in bad faith. I'm not trying to convince that person, but making sure others observing the conversation don't feel gaslit and second-guess the reality others are trying to distort.

    I'm not as dense as I might appear. However, I do appreciate you calling me out so we can have a conversation like this. It's important, and it helps us all learn and grow.

  • Thanks for making it disgustingly obvious how easy it is to cherry-pick statements, excluding the full context, to push forward an agenda.

    We all know the situation. But we also have more folds in our grey matter to understand the consequences of the alternatives.

  • Bruh you literally argued the opposite in your recent comments about Turkey and India.

  • Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point...

  • Kirkland Signature is Costco's store brand.

  • drr drr drr
