I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.

No, it’s still GMO. My usage was vague, that’s on me.
- Comment on Health food 2 months ago:
This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it’s typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation

Come to Canada and eat any of our supermarket strawberries, they’re disgusting.
One of my Italian tour guides last year was so confused when I explained how our produce is nothing like what they have there. Strawberries are sour, not juicy, and white inside.
We do have some good local strawberries during the summer. This is why, to us, GMO is a bad thing
- Comment on Health food 2 months ago:
Genuine question, where are you from?
Where I’m from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.
GMO has negative effects too, it’s ignorant to think otherwise.

Typical NA strawberries are GMO and suck though

No need to apologize, you’re the first person to actually calmly and willingly discuss the topic without completely dismissing being disagreed with.
I know you’re not the originally comment I was replying to, but you conveniently moved the goal posts. The context of the entire conversation is whether TikTok specifically should be shut down because it targets children for it’s own gain. You’re now arguing that social media in general has negative impact on society and children, which I agree with, but is completely skewing the conversation and was, in no way, the central point of the discussion.
So your opinion is that all social media platforms that deem to have negative affects on society should be shut down? Do you not see what’s wrong with that? You’re saying humans can’t decide whether or not they want to use social media. You should understand how absolutely absurd that is - that is a completely dystopian totalitarian dictatorship idea. It sounds like a chapter in 1984.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 8 months ago:
Agreed. We’re both being downvote because we’re not part of the hive mind.
Most of the links provided are about how children were easy to advertise to and TikTok was not properly protecting them. That’s a completely different discussion than “tiktok is targeting children”.
I want to be a supporter of keeping children safe, but I don’t think banning tiktok will help anything other than create 5 new platforms that will make letting kids safe even harder
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 8 months ago:
Kids using tiktok and tiktok specifically targeting children to use their platform are distinctly different. Just because kids use tiktok doesn’t mean it’s because they were lured there. Those metrics identify that tiktok is popular.
I appreciate your opinion, but short video clips on Mobile devices are nothing inherent to children. Now if tiktok was giving you pokemon for signing up or posting of their platform, then there’d be a valid argument
Getting back to the original context - the argument that Tiktok should be shut down because “it’s short videos on mobile platforms that’s popular among teens” is lunacy. Everyone is throwing shade at me and not realizing how absurd their argument is.
I’m not acting in bad faith either. I did care about the date of tiktok, but I’m seeing a trend of vilification without proper logical discourse. It’s disconcerting to say the least.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 8 months ago:
Tiktok’s stance is rather meaningless because they’d never admit wrongdoing. I’m not curious how does tiktok target children with their platform? How do they lure them to it and why?
Then the conversation becomes: What standards should social media platforms be accountable to?

Again, this is not relevant to the original comment.
This is about how advertising was abused to target children.
It honestly sounds like you unjustifiably hate the platform and are throwing every nonsensical argument.
You’ve provided zero justification that tiktok as a company purposely targets children or designs their application specifically for children.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 8 months ago:
Again, this supports tiktok protecting children
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 8 months ago:
This is about advertising to children within the platform and how tiktok intends to protect unethical advertising to children
