You know, I appreciate your intellectual honesty. You could have just claimed it was the largest and gotten on with your day, but you took the high road.

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, fam.
3.5 is still reasonably useful for the same reasons you described, imo… Just less so.
I too had an Animorphs flashback.

Umm no cause skate shoes are lava-proof for 1 second at a time???
Which costs extra, of course
That’s cool-- I remember watching for a long time before my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then it was impossible to miss. It was actually really awesome, though different from the photos.
I’d say the last one actually looks pretty close to what it looked like to the naked eye.
Nothing wrong with short articles. It’s better than sifting through paragraphs of “Electric cars are an innovative technology that take many of the featues of…” just to get to the relevant content.
Better than spreading one contiguous body of content across five tweets too, IMO.
I don’t see the problem with being concise.
How did you take those photos? Was it like long exposure or something? Or did they come out like that just point-and-shoot?

Yeah, that’s accurate-- The permit has nothing to do with speech, it has to do with use of public space. Where I’m from, the police will come and block off streets and manage traffic to keep demonstrators safe. Without the permit, everyone would still be allowed to say more or less whatever they wanted, but the logistics of the gathering could create a hazard, and that’s just a gray area that everyone is just better off avoiding.
Why does being a team sport or not affect whether you can root for them?
Flummoxed!
I mean do you think Fortnite has anywhere near the same level of ability to disseminate information or surveil people as TikTok does?
And actually it makes a material difference that ByteDance is based in Beijing, as opposed to just having Chinese investors. Those social platforms, movie studios, etc., being headquartered in the US is exactly what makes it different. Can Chinese firms apply financial pressure to compel them to act against the interests of US citizens? Yes, of course, and they do.
But that’s categorically different than being legally obligated to comply with the CCP, which ByteDance is.
TikTok is a massively powerful tool of influence and intelligence, in the hands of an adversary that is well understood to proactively meddle with democratic elections.
Yes, obviously the CCP will unabashedly pursue other interference vectors. That should be viewed as more reason to curtail TikTok, not less.
Ah, they must have interpreted it as “no stupid questions allowed,” instead of “there are no stupid questions.”
Big yike 😬 Anyone find a decent way around THAT yet? How do they even know that you’re on a VPN? Is it like… they maintain a list of known VPN exit node IPs?
Does old.reddit.com still work to get around it?
“Completely new”
Okay, then don’t train it on anything at all and let’s see how it turns out.
