TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out
  • Is there precedent for something like this? I'm clearly just a regular dummy but I can't think of anything similar ever happening in this country. To me, it just seems like a bureaucratic way of strong arming a sale.

  • I assume the US government wants to force a sale to a US tech company, no? Who would presumably profit from said successful app. Why not just outright ban it here? By kill I just mean make unusable. But you knew that, silly.

  • Iran might not be invading Israel anytime soon but they sure arent "trending towards peace" like you claim. You're wrong about this one, and your anger betrays you here. It might shock you to learn that even at your age, you can still learn something, too. At least I know I'm uninformed and look for the truth instead of just spouting off bullshit with nothing to back it up.

  • If you don't think Israel "that interesting or important" to the US government, you haven't been paying attention. full stop. This isn't about Palestine, its always been about Israel. They send way too much money to us politicians, including the one in the white house, for it to not matter "in the grand scheme". AIPAC money alone should be enough to convince you.

  • What brought you over to Lemmy?
  • A post on r/latestagecapitalism of a political cartoon mildly criticizing the spending for Ukraine war effort, it was the first time I really actually noticed a botted comment section. I noticed similar accounts clearly astroturfing the post and basically stopped using the platform that day.

    The whole reason I found reddit to be useful was the discussion within the posts from real people with real opinions. If that's no longer the case then I can get the same aggregated content elsewhere. I can't use the site knowing the discussion is so influenced, at least on some level, in some subs. It's gross.

  • Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
  • Lol I think the pure dialogue scenes in this movie are some of Tarantino's best work. The opener with Christoph Waltz in the French farmers house has always been one of my favorite bits of cinema.

    I definitely went into it thinking it was going to be a lot more of Brad Pitt and co. killing Nazis though, for sure.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse storms off stage after being confronted by students
  • Property over people. It's almost cliche at this point to bring it up but here's a reminder that police in the USA were created primarily to return escaped slaves to their owners, they were a tool of the wealthy and merchant class. It's protect property and serve capital above all else.
