The trick is you have to pretend that you’re actually a “tech company” to avoid all the regulations that apply to companies that are honest about what business they’re in.

Videos are a terrible way to communicate small amounts of information and these comments aren’t super insightful so I guess I’ll just move on.

Which corporation’s profits do you think banning TikTok is intended to protect?
Also, “boomer” is a specific group of people and applying that term to everyone who doesn’t agree with you makes it pretty damn silly and meaningless.

I’m about to eat my fourth or fifth McDonald’s free double cheeseburger so far of this month just because someone on the local baseball team got a double and they give away a free one in the app to anyone who claims it in the state the next day.
With promotions and deals (which are pretty much always going on) it’s actually tough to get cheaper than eating fast food a lot of the time.

I only ever started a second account on the old place (after 13+ years) because I got permanently banned from two subreddits that I wasn’t quite ready to give up completely because they gave me no option to appeal.

Far less frequently than most.
I’m rocking a Surface Pro 4 as my daily driver PC, for example.

I charge all my shit to 100% with a fast charger, always have, and it all works great.
This “issue” is severely overblown.

TikTok is utter trash all around but the music is the second worst part, closely behind the stupid ass fake voices.

- Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off 5 months ago:
I’ll be perfectly honest.
I love and strongly prefer physical media games.
However, I also love Game Pass at least as a concept.
I’ve had it for several years now thanks to Live Gold conversion and VPN…
That said, regardless how much "values it may provide, I will NEVER pay full price for it… I just don’t feel like it’s worth the price they’re asking to me personally.
It’s great for trying out the occasional game I’d never have bought or played otherwise though… And sometimes it introduces me to games that I feel like are worth buying that I hadn’t heard of anywhere else.
For example, I bought Aragami 2 because I tried it on Game Pass and enjoyed it but I wasn’t finished with it yet when rumors appeared that it was leaving the service.
I also played and thoroughly enjoyed Cocoon and High on Life that is to Game Pass and feel like they’re both worth buying at the right price.
I personally don’t enjoy watching YouTubers and I rarely read reviews so I wouldn’t have known much about most of those if I didn’t have the chance to try them.
It’s almost like it’s replaced the demos that used to be so common but we can play the whole game now if we want.

The codec was quite popular for a decent little stretch there… Far more so and for far longer than the circuit city product.

I think Word js really more like a combination of Wordpad and Publisher.
