If socialism requires a completely separate country to be capitalist and to participate in order to function… then yes, it doesn’t work.

Without looking up anything I can tell you not more than 50 kids have died from laundry detergent digestion in the last 5 years.

“Dumb shit like”… Not that Tide pods are 100% of.

poisoning is probably due to fentanyl

Huh, wonder where that’s coming from!

Oops. But right! China Good!

So stop antagonizing a fucking app to support censorship and start seeing the real problems out there.

I don’t need to antagonize anything. The USA (or ANY sovereign nation) has the right to limit another government’s/country’s holdings within it’s own borders. That’s it. Tiktok is operating here in the USA… The USA can kick them out if they will not divest their Chinese stakes. There’s nothing to antagonize here. I don’t actually care about the argument that this graph claims to make, just pointing out that Tiktok definitely has SOME percentage of a representation on the graph as well.

Considering that the Chinese Government only owns 1% stake in Bytedance, it’s interesting that the Chinese government has a board seat on the company isn’t it? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/beijing-takes-stake-board-seat-in-bytedances-key-china-entity-the-information-2021-08-16

Usually you need to get voted in, and need to be a larger stakeholder than simply 1%… This alone is enough to claim there’s foul play. Yet you all are screaming from the top of your lungs “My rights”… As if you couldn’t post whatever the fuck you want literally ANYWHERE else.

and start seeing the real problems out there.

I see a common feature of BOTH problems. Do you? And it’s not racism for me to call that out regardless of what bullshit you concoct in your head.

Reddit, not a speech platform?

No. It’s not. And they proved that when they ripped the API away from people who needed it… like all the disabled people using apps.

Reddit bans people CONSTANTLY. There’s nothing free speech about it.

Let’s ban TikTok while our kids are dying because of guns.

TBF… That spike in “poisoning” could easily be attributed to dumb shit like the “tide pod” challenge.

We are all vulnerable to manipulation and should only read content that is approved by the US Govt.

Blocking another country’s possible influence is not the same as ONLY being fed whatever the Government approves.

TIktok, due to the nature of the company’s ownership and board directors WILL have Chinese Government influence. And they’ve already proven that they’re willing to influence the internet to the point of controlling it 99% for their own citizens. China is the latter of the above statement. The USA and most other countries are barely even doing the former.

calling America West England

But there is part of America that basically is West England. That’s called Canada.

But yeah china would never allow free expression on their version of tiktok but let’s ban free expression because china does is a bad argument.

What you post on Tiktok is free speech. How it get manipulated and shared to everyone else by an algorithm controlled by a Country that has everything to gain from the downfall of the USA is not free speech.

You slipped a server version in there (2000) and ignored millennium edition…

The military sub you saw videos about house hundreds of people on board… your personal sub only need to house a few dozen.

these online professors

But unfortunately I go to a brick and mortar college

These two statement directly conflict with each other. No wonder you think they’re bad professors… You’re missing your classes.

But did you really think I was complaining about some kindergarten pizza party bullshit?

Yes. because you’re clearly a child. I still suspect that you’re so supremely butt hurt about not having your little square lunchroom pizza that it’s the primary reason why you act like a seven year old (at best).

EULA squabble pro bono.

Good thing something is on the line like royalties for all sales both past and future.

Ah yes, you’re too damn lazy to go to college in person so the online professor “ain’t worth two fucks” because they don’t violate FERPA and order you a surprise slice of pizza to your house during their class.

Fuck your entitlement dude.

They mean you vpn into your home network.

He’s already said that he’d sink the company before he’d sell it. I believe him… it’s not like he’s not already rolling in money. What else do you offer him?

Edit: sink in this context being releasing all the drm.

OR the good 30-60 seconds a degauss would take.

It would explain how my fucking roku/TCL magic’d itself the stupid EULA update. It’s not on my wifi… However, I know the neighbor has one that is.

No, that violates the fair use act

Negative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

Thus, fair use need not even be raised as a defense unless the plaintiff first shows (or the defendant concedes) a prima facie case of copyright infringement.

and

However, binding agreements such as contracts or licence[sic] agreements may take precedence over fair use rights.

You can enter into a contract. There is no requirement that the original work is unpaid. Quite the opposite. If the original IP owner purchases it, since they own the IP there’s no case of copyright infringement. And nothing stops the work creator from entering into contracts.

Edit: I’m not arguing this. This is literally the ONLY way to get paid for fair use materials. Period. You’re wrong. Fair use is an anti-copyright lawsuit claim. There is no issue of copyright if you sell to the original copyright owners.

And even then… EVEN IF you were correct. Your claim that they cannot sell it to the original IP holders doesn’t just allow them to steal the work. That’s still theft.

There’s nothing conflicting about this.

They have a right to the IP, you have a right to your works.

They can make a contract with you to use your works in their IP.

It’s so cool and amazing that we finally have home theatre systems in every fucking house

Yeah I’ve noticed this too and it bothers me. We had 4 way split on 20inch tube tvs on hardware that measure their ram in MBs… But on modern 75+inch tvs on consoles with GBs of ram… Nah, too hard. You need to buy 4 copies of the game and have 4 separate setups… and probably need to be in 4 separate houses.

Couch co-op dying is basically when I stopped bothering with consoles all together. If I’m going to use a glorified PC, might as well just use a full fat PC and ignore consoles all together. I miss the N64 days.

Out of the 20+ million copies sold. I’m sure they’re missing you real hard.
